A Ukrainian soldier named Serhiy, returning from Russian captivity, has reportedly been found mutilated with swastikas carved into his forehead, as disclosed by Dr. Olexandr Turkevich, who is treating him.
The soldier, blindfolded during the ordeal, claimed Russian soldiers threatened to dismember him, citing accusations of fascism.

Russians truly are the bad guys on this planet.
Humanity is the bad guy.
Nah, still Russians.
Are Russians the only ones responsible for the thousands of species humanity has driven to extinction? The climate collapse?
I think climate change is one of the biggest issues we are facing today and we need immediate action.
And yet, I think this is such a shit take in this thread.
Yes, all humans are causing climate change, but the Russian government and military are insanely evil and are on a path of genocidal destruction.
Arguments like yours only hurt the climate change cause as you alienate people.
I think climate change is one of the biggest issues we are facing today
It doesn’t matter what you think. It doesn’t matter what I think. We are way past the point of no return. As far as I can tell, humanity is the villain. I’m hoping the climate apocalypse is enough to wipe us all out for good, to limit the damage we can cause to the natural world. Worst case scenario, we become space faring and spread our plague to other solar systems.
Edgelord lmao
Not really man, there’s lots of people who think humanity is a disease. You think our precious pointless lives are worth driving every other species to extinction?
Yes. All ruzzia
Yes
Keep in mind, the IDF has killed more civilians in 2 months than Russia has killed in 2 years.
Not a fair comparison. The Ukrainian military is actively moving civilians out of combat areas and not choosing to wage guerilla war from densely populated urban centers.
This exactly. One can absolutely debate the methods of IDF, but literally no one could wage war in Gaza with few civilian casualties. Gaza is almost one huge city while Ukraine have massive rural areas around every city. Had Russia waged war in Gaza, they’d have killed at least as many civilians, and in my opinion probably a lot more as well.
Maybe don’t wage war in Gaza then? It is not truly needed, there are ways to combat terrorism without leveling a city. And let’s not forget Netanyahu funded Hamas because they benefit of the war.
This is not the point. The point is that comparing civilian casualties between a war in Gaza and a war in Ukraine is an apples and pears comparison.
So you think Israel is justified in killing more civilians in 2 months than Russia has killed in 2 years?
This thread is about Russia. I was not the one bringing Israel up.
But no, I don’t think that is a good thing. But it has nothing to do with Israel being “more evil” than Russia. Russia cares zero about civilians and would have killed at least as many had Ukraine been a mostly urban warzone with Russian air superiority. But Ukraine isn’t, so therefore less civilian deaths.
Out of curiosity, what would have been your recommended response to the 7 October attack? I’m not saying Israel is handling this the right way whatsoever, but I see a lot of people make statements like yours without any specifics.
Leave Israel. They’re surrounded by enemies and the only way there will be peace is if one side genocides the other.
They never should have been there. They are only there because of the religious nationalist movement known as Zionism.
Nobody is entitled to live anywhere because of their religion.
The world would be a better, more peaceful place if Israelis just relocated to the USA.
So why not move Palestinians if migration is your solution to this problem? Both, Jews and Arabs, have lived in this area for thousands of years.
It’s not about having few civilian casualties, it’s about having fewER casualties. Gaza is extremely densely populated and civilian casualties are pretty much unavoidable, but it doesn’t mean you have to level entire city blocks or bomb the exact places you tell civilians to go. There’s plenty Isreal could do to reduce casualties, they simply won’t.
Again, one can absolutely discuss the methods of the IDF. The point here is simply that you can’t compare Gaza with Ukraine when it comes to civilian casualties.
You can’t compare the actual numbers but you can compare the actions sides take to prevent casualties. Your comment came across as “there’s nothing IDF could do to reduce casualties” when the reality is that they could and they just don’t.
“Came across”? Right. Then I could say bringing up an unrelated conflict, no matter how terrible, in a discussion about what Russia does comes across as a putinist move.
You absolutely can and I will.
Try to say the numbers don’t matter is just willful ignorance.
Do you think Israel is justified in killing more civilians in 2 months than Russia has killed in 2 years?
You’re right. Israel is justified in killing more civilians than Russia.
My bad.
We’re doing whataboutism? In that case, keep in mind that Stalin killed more people than Israel ever did.
I’m pretty sure most people who have a problem with Stalin have a problem with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The problem is that there are people who think Russians are subhuman invaders while Israelis are heroic defenders.
Is there an actual history of this sort of thing or is it only from Inglorious Basterds?
That movie makes it feel like a timeless tradition, doesn’t it?
I’ve never seen it anywhere but in that movie (not a historian fwiw). So I’m fairly confident that it’s just the Russians being their usual asshole selves.
They couldn’t even draw it correctly, this is a religious symbol, if you angle it so it looks like an X in the middle, then you have the Nazis swastika.
Reminds me of this classic meme
Heill Hortler
That bottom center one will always be my favorite.
They’re all special in their own way. Each one of god’s little miracles.
I couldn’t have even guessed that they were trying to draw a swastika with that one.
The Nazis didn’t fucking care, this is just the dumb shit Nazis say online to gaslight you about other Nazis doing Nazi things.
Hexbears: well at least they aren’t doing a hecking imperialism!
Good way to identify them after the war.
Identify who? Ukranian POWs?
Yeah whatever they get exchanged or anything they are well marked for future reference of war crimes.
You mean the Ukranians are committing warcrimes?
How old are you? 5yo? are you learning how to read or WTF? It’s pretty clear what I’m saying WO the need to repeat it.
Well you are but you aren’t. You seem to be implying it and I was wondering if you had the guts to actually write it out. I guess not.
You are defending or sympathyzing with carving swastikas into people, that kind of shows what kind of a person you are.
Removed by mod
And pivot.
You understand you are still to coward to say what you mean, and you are now pointing towards a fringe militia group that when they ran for political power got 0 seats in Parlaiment in order to justify Russians carving swastikas into people.
Every country has extrimist groups diametrically opposed to the side you want to be on. So pointing at one of those to excuse whatever inhumane thing you want to find acceptable just again emphasises the type of person you are. You madam are a troll, I bid you farewell.

When you are the victim, you rarely get to carve swastikas on the offenders foreheads.
Ukrainian soldiers are already wearing Nazi insignias on their uniforms. Seems only appropriate
No, a very small subset of the Ukranian military was wearing them, being the Azov battalion and some other members of right wing extremist groups that where already paramilitary before the war.
Azov is former militia founded by a right wing nut job that did not even get enough votes in the last election to get any seats in Parliament.
Then Russia invaded, and these Azov folks turned out to be formidable fighters. Also martial law rolled up all military age men and women, so they where now formal military and beggers can’t be choosers. Similar to Wagner and Utkin.
It’s a government of banderaists instated in an American supported right wing coup that has entire nazi battalions in its army’s ranks. Spare me the apologia.
5 month old account celebrating terrorism and the rule of violence. Lemmygrad must be leaking again.
