Ukrainian hit squads target Russian occupiers and collaborators

[basionok]

Since Russian forces invaded in late February and began seizing Ukrainian cities and towns, close to 20 Kremlin-backed officials or their local Ukrainian collaborators have been killed or injured in a wave of assassinations and attempted killings.

They have been gunned down, blown up, hanged and poisoned — an array of methods that reflects the determination of the Ukrainian hit squads and saboteurs often operating deep inside enemy-controlled territory. The unpredictability of the attacks is meant to terrify anyone who might agree to serve in the puppet governments Russia has been creating with an eye toward staging sham referendums and ultimately annexing the occupied lands.

The assassination campaign, while cheered by many Ukrainians, nonetheless raises legal and ethical questions about extrajudicial killings and potential war crimes, particularly when the targets are political actors or civilians and not combatants on the battlefield or other military personnel. And those questions cannot simply be waved away by pointing to the illegality of Russia’s invasion.
The Geneva Conventions, referring to “persons taking no active part in the hostilities,” specifically prohibit “violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds,” as well as “the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court.”

People who actively help the invaders in an aggressive invasion of a country and collaborate in the forcible deportation of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Ukrainians to Russia likely never to be seen again deserve to be assassinated.

Spy's and collaborators should be dealt with severely, and in the public sphere.

They typically forward the locations of UKR troops, military convoys, and munition warehouses to Russian artillery crews/cruise missile operators.

Ergo, they have Ukrainian blood on their hands. I have no sympathy whatsoever with their fate.

War in Ukraine: Evidence of suspected war crimes found in village previously held by Russians

The bodies of two men buried in a Ukrainian locality while it was under Russian occupation have been exhumed. One of the men had had his ears cut off,

9.9.22
The Ukrainian authorities on Friday exhumed two bodies in Grakové, a village in northeastern Ukraine that has been recaptured from Russian troops. Police from the Kharkiv region, where the village is located, and the prosecutor's office of the neighbouring town of Chuguyv conducted the excavation in the presence of about twenty journalists. Serguiï Loutsai, a resident of Grakové, told the media that he had buried the bodies in March, shortly after the invasion began on February 24, under threat from armed Russian soldiers. The investigation, led by the prosecutor's office, will seek to determine the causes and circumstances of the deaths of the two men, who were in their thirties. Police say at least one of the two men was buried with his ears cut off.

The Russian soldier isn't worth a damn. The only thing they are good at is murdering civilians.

The pro-Russia "For Life" political party was funded by Putin's "Gray Cardinal" in Ukraine - the oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk. Putin is Godfather to Medvedchuk's daughter Daryna. Under house arrest (for treason) when Russia invaded in late February, Medvedchuk fled his house in Kyiv and attempted to link-up with the Russian forces trying to encircle Kyiv. He was caught by the SBU and this time placed in a jail cell. It seems he was trying to get information to a Russian hit squad looking to assassinate Zelenskyy and his wife Olena. Medvedchuk and his party are collaborators with the invaders.

I keep saying, the Ukies will NEVER surrender. The Ruskies could occupy all their lands for a hundred years and they would still "resist, resist, resist". They are the only people in the word more stubborn than Poles, who are their ally right now!

I was married to a Ukrainian. It took me more than 2 years that it is impossible to win an argument with them. Use every tiny bit of reason and they go silent for a time and than start up again some time later.

No argument even ended, even when it did. She was a very beautiful woman, but like catching rabies.
