This has been filmed on peoples phones this morning and released by UK news outlets.

Dozens of civilians killed..as reported by Reuters.

No doubt the Mad Vlad fanboys on here like Manny,Andrew and Wiz will find a way to try and justify/spin it.

Any hard facts and evidence or this is another post from

LIVE FROM UKRAINE:
Maidan square in Kiev as Russian forces advance





The square is full of tanks.... can you see them?
Plus the dead bodies you mentioned?

Try again..my post was about Kharkov...NOT Kiev. (:)

You do know they're different cities ?

I see your reading comprehension hasn't improved whilst i've been away.

You claim to live in the UK..i suggest you watch the evidence on the BBC and Sky News instead of watching that RT tripe.

I have not missed the Kharkov name you mentioned BUT I ask you to provide more hard evidence.......and you missed my request!

I have never been to Kharkov but I have been around to the rest of Ukraine several times.....and I deliberty choose to watch the LIVE REUTERS Camera because it is at the Centre of Kiev and at the top of the hotel Ukraina looking down at Maidan square, where is the usual place that people will go for a walk or shoping or to demostrate.

For your info I have been around in alll main towns and cities like Lvov, Kiev, Odessa, and everywhere in Crimea. Just because I live here, I am not obligated to watch BBC or Sky....  I listen to LBC and several channels from abroad, mostly from Greece.

It is pretty obvious that Putin has given specific orders not to attack, electric, water TV or Raadio aparatus. Well soon will see what really happened. Today is 2022 and not the 2014-15 when the killigs by the foreign agents took place and look at the resulds........

ARE YOU AWARE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN dONBASS WHEN pOROSHENKO SEND THE ARMY WITH ORDER TO SHOO AND KILL?

When you have better evidence than please comeback....

My wife has just spoken with her father who lives in Kharkov, and he confirmed that shelling with probably Grad rockets had been going on today.
He also said that there is no food left in the shops, nor is there any fresh milk and bread available..

Stop being a stooge, Wiz.  Also stop with the whataboutism.  My SIL is sitting in the middle of bombing.  She can get through to us only intermittently.  She knows a family shot dead by Russian forces, while trying to flee the city.  Parents and 12 year old dead, two children alive but gravely injured in hospital.  Oh, she doesn't have a photo!  It must not have happened! 

You can continue to reserve judgment.  SIL was in a shelter for a couple of nights, given the level of bombing occurring in her neighbourhood.  There, she spoke to a woman whose apartment building was hit by a missile.

This is the real face of war.  It's not the botoxed/filler filled face of a 70 year old tyrant cowering in a mountain hideout.  It's blood and death and suffering.  To deny it is cruel.
After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten

Unless you're calling Gipsy a liar,,which i wouldn't put past you,then he just gave you hard evidence .

No doubt you'll try and wriggle out of it though.

If you'd been watching the BBC ,as you say you don't,then you would have seen the filming of the shelling in Kharkov for yourself.

I actually work with someone like you..he's English , a big RT fan,refuses to watch western propaganda on UK News channels,and he's been in denial about the Russian invasion.
I spoke with him yesterday and i said to him that all he believed in all these years has now been shown to be so wrong.
He said "Don't you start..my wife is going to leave me over this ".

Murdering civilians in cold blood like this is despicable. Just who are the "Nazi's"?

Putin has completely lost his mind. As the Ukrainian Ambassador says, if he wants to commit suicide, he should just shoot himself.

Our friends survived a night of bombing, 12-13 bombs
in Cherkassy.

Halo I read that story, so sad, they shot into car. Innocent unarmed people.

Reports Russian soldiers killing people in thier homes for food.
They didn't simply ask. Stories like this are horrendous.

Russian version of this incident:

The Ukrainian civilians armed with weapons shot the car and killed that family.
This from their UN Ambassador to the UN at the Special session of the UN General assembly which had to be called because Russia vetoed their own censure by the Security Council.
Absolutely shameless falsehoods amongst a tirade of other lies and faked stuff.

Tick tock. The clock is ticking.

I cant comment on this incident as I haven't seen anything about it. But this stood out.

BBC and Sky News instead of watching that RT tripe.

I'd suggest BBC and Sky are the last place one might look for *actual* news or reliable coverage of events. The whole British media put any Russian channel to shame with their lying, fake photos and uncorroborated 'news events'. I've seen the BBC busted today lying with fake photos. One news channel today put out a nine-year-old video of a little Palestinian girl screaming at an Israeli soldier and tried to pass it off as an event in Ukraine. GB News and Talk Radio the other day published a short video of a Ukrainian missile launcher losing control and rolling over a car and tried to pass it off as a Russian tank that did it on purpose. Pictures of Zelensky being the "people's man" passed off as recent are actually bought from Getty and are not recent.

I had a similar exchange of views today with the Defence Editor at the Express. He even thinks numbers that come from "official Ukrainian sources" are reliable. He claimed Russia was "losing" before admitting they were actually being quite restrained compared to what they could do.  :coffeeread:

Better to graze a variety of outlets, including RT, Sputnik et al and see if you can sift the truth from therein. The truth often lies somewhere in the middle.

I find it hard to believe that Russia would target civilians on purpose.

Look what the American media makes some people believe:
Putin often threatens to strike US with nuclear weapons.

Manny, I see you have decided to go down in Flames with Putin.
           Most days I think you are above average intelligent.
           Maybe you are with just no sense of justice and what is right.

Please tell me which?
No person with an bit of sanity and empathy could think any part of what Putin is doing is ok.

Russia deliberately targeted civilians in Kharkov again today...a cruise missile was fired into the city's regional government building at Freedom Square all shown on film on BBC again...other missiles hit other parts of the civilian population...including illegal cluster bombs.

Maybe if you stopped gawking at the Russian state-sponsored RT drivel and started watching real news you might understand what is actually going on in Ukraine.

Those pesky modern phones eh ?

Now all the World sees what atrocities Russia is committing in Ukraine.

I realize you're another one on here who's beliefs have been shattered but give it a go and open your eyes.

Did you know the Ukrainian border guards are not letting any indians out of Ukraine....

In war everyone is as bad as each other im not going on any side on that topic .. I heard from friend in Kiev they are sitting guns up in apartment buildings using locals as shields .. that has been common pratice in many countries nothing new there ..US used agent Orange .. people murder.. kill in any way no point bickering about who is doing what and who is doing this .. Im sure the Russians are doing what they should not be..I do not agree with this..by the way..

When it comes to war people from both sides do terrible things that has been happening for centuries ..

Not exactly, they are holding men back to let women and children out first

Instead they are kicking their heads in outside and beating them up.. welcome to nazi land!!

Proof!

Yes they do, but none of this need have happened, the responsibility all falls with Russia on Putins shoulders.

Im not defending any one or accusing..

Im just saying in war people do absolutely anything murder kids old people kick their heads in the true human nature often comes out..

And yes it can fall on Putins shoulders I am also not defending Putin here ..

Im saying often you will not see how real people are .. you can visit London as a tourist and all seems wonderfull .. it is a different story late at night if you get a kicking or robbed .. this is very common..

As for things that happen in Ukraine anyone with any sort of brain would understand there are nazis in Ukraine and racists many many many it is a very racist country.. try being black there and let me know how you get on..

Want to see some indians getting a kicking?

I do not personally agree with the invasion.. If I was Putin I would of just let them have Ukraine (Eu) but I would of built nukes all around the country completely.. and used that at the negotiating table for arms control.. Would of been a better plan.. I think invading was not a good idea ..

But Im surprised about the amount of hate now towards Russians this will never change.. its here for ever.. wife mom lives in Germany they are smashing windows on a few Russain shops now..What the **** is there a need for this ..

As far as I see it the whole bloody world has gone crazy ..and lots of this is down to the Yanks at some point something will break.. If not Russia China..

So you're seeing these Russian war crimes against civilians also Chris.

Strange that Manny and Wiz are not seeing them also isn't it ?

I guess RT isn't showing them....i wonder why ?

I had a similar exchange of views today with the Defence Editor at the Express. He even thinks numbers that come from "official Ukrainian sources" are reliable. He claimed Russia was "losing" before admitting they were actually being quite restrained compared to what they could do.  :coffeeread:

Better to graze a variety of outlets, including RT, Sputnik et al and see if you can sift the truth from therein. The truth often lies somewhere in the middle.

I find it hard to believe that Russia would target civilians on purpose.

Russia deliberately targeted civilians in Kharkov again today...a cruise missile was fired into the city's regional government building at Freedom Square all shown on film on BBC again...other missiles hit other parts of the civilian population...including illegal cluster bombs.

Maybe if you stopped gawking at the Russian state-sponsored RT drivel and started watching real news you might understand what is actually going on in Ukraine.

Those pesky modern phones eh ?

Now all the World sees what atrocities Russia is committing in Ukraine.

I realize you're another one on here who's beliefs have been shattered but give it a go and open your eyes.

Yep, the war crimes are mounting daily.   >:(

So you're seeing these Russian war crimes against civilians also Chris.

Strange that Manny and Wiz are not seeing them also isn't it ?

I guess RT isn't showing them....i wonder why ?


Clear as day mate, well what do you expect, the Putin apologists will not say a bad word about Putin, he is god in their eyes and can do no wrong. However, what Putin has been good at, is uniting the West, now and eventually he will suffer because of his recent actions in invading Ukraine.

I cant comment on this incident as I haven't seen anything about it. But this stood out.

BBC and Sky News instead of watching that RT tripe.

I'd suggest BBC and Sky are the last place one might look for *actual* news or reliable coverage of events. The whole British media put any Russian channel to shame with their lying, fake photos and uncorroborated 'news events'. I've seen the BBC busted today lying with fake photos. One news channel today put out a nine-year-old video of a little Palestinian girl screaming at an Israeli soldier and tried to pass it off as an event in Ukraine. GB News and Talk Radio the other day published a short video of a Ukrainian missile launcher losing control and rolling over a car and tried to pass it off as a Russian tank that did it on purpose.

Indeed.

Unfortunately, while Putin will get his comeuppance sooner or later, the Russian people are going to suffer enormously as a result of his actions and of the political elite.

Amnesty International accused Russia of using the vacuum bombs, or thermobaric weapons, to attack a preschool in northeastern Ukraine while civilians took shelter inside. While CNN reported that one of its teams had spotted a Russian thermobaric multiple rocket launcher near the Ukrainian border early on Saturday afternoon.

It will not take much more of this and Putin will no longer be an effective leader as he will be wanted for war crimes and not invited to enough countries to be able to carry out state business.

3) There has been no "threat" to invade Ukraine. The US invented that and fed it to a complicit media.

Some people for some reason deliberately have no memory when conviniently forget what took place in Kiev on 20 Feb 2014 during the Coup d'état, organised by USA where 50 people were shot dead by snipers. I don't remember anybody arrested or went to prison. May I remind you that I  posted a video of the US Minister Victoria Nulan who admited that the USA spent 5 Bilion dollars and together with Mr G. Payat the Ambassandor and organised the demostrations and when the legally elected President run for hid life, they imposed their own President. Do you remember the MINSK agreements which signed by Poroshenko and Zelenskyy but never were acted to stop Azov Nazzi fighters killing innocent children and people in Donbass?

Earlier you accuse me why Idon't watch BBC or ITV and answered to you that I am not prepared to listen Propaganda and I do listen to LBC with more variate views.!

RT was banned from our Democracy and also Russian studens too from the whole Europe, under orders from our Master the Alzheimer's President and I can't wach any programes so I stick to Greek and other foreign sources, not Russian because I don't speack the language.
Why the sun does not shine on the Ex- British Empire Anymore? Because God never trusted an Englishman in the dark!

Stop being a stooge, Wiz.  Also stop with the whataboutism.  My SIL is sitting in the middle of bombing.  She can get through to us only intermittently.  She knows a family shot dead by Russian forces, while trying to flee the city.  Parents and 12 year old dead, two children alive but gravely injured in hospital.  Oh, she doesn't have a photo!  It must not have happened! 

You can continue to reserve judgment.  SIL was in a shelter for a couple of nights, given the level of bombing occurring in her neighbourhood.  There, she spoke to a woman whose apartment building was hit by a missile.

This is the real face of war.  It's not the botoxed/filler filled face of a 70 year old tyrant cowering in a mountain hideout.  It's blood and death and suffering.  To deny it is cruel.


Murdering civilians in cold blood like this is despicable. Just who are the "Nazi's"?

Putin has completely lost his mind. As the Ukrainian Ambassador says, if he wants to commit suicide, he should just shoot himself.

 

Putins had the unfortunate experience of alleged cancer surgery and a dose of Parkinsons. I wonder if any of this is related to a potential terminal health battle and him willing to go out with a bang?

All guess work I suppose but his medical history is there to see on google.

Mrs Rosco recently started a new job working for a global business, selling/marketing from the UK into the Russian market. She's devastated for both what's happening to Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians but she's also gutted about her career too. Her parents in Belarus feel the whole thing is blown out of proportion and she's fallen out with them too!

She had a girl working under her for presentations who's Ukrainian living in London, and she's refused to deal with Russian customers at the moment. The wifes a bit too green to go it alone and the whole thing has turned into a nightmare.

Im sure it'll pass and Russia will reopen for business but right now anything Russian is being cancelled. The Russian ballet in Edinburgh has been pulled too....
