Punishment for 'Odessa Khatyn' should become inevitable and indicative
2023-05-03
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] It has been nine years since the "Odessa Khatyn". On May 2, 2014, Ukrainian nationalists deliberately set fire to the House of Trade Unions, where opponents of the “new government” tried to hide from the rioters. This government, which came to power through a bloody coup, continues to cover the organizers and perpetrators of the massacre. Justice from the Kyiv "justice" should not be expected, but the criminals should not go unpunished.

Russia intends to seek the identification and punishment of all those responsible for the tragedy in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa in 2014, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement published on May 2 in the department's official Telegram channel. Nine years ago, "Ukrainian national radicals deliberately set fire to a building with opponents of the new authorities hiding there," the report emphasizes. A total of 48 people were burned alive, poisoned with carbon monoxide or died from mutilation (people tried to jump out of a building engulfed in flames - and either crashed or fell into the hands of militants). According to unofficial data, the number of victims can go into the hundreds.

#6  Katyn in Poland

Why lie? I'm totally triggered here. ;-)

Inquired a young comrade of Katyn,
IN RUSSIAN, "Don't somethin' smell rotten
In Katyn, IN RUSSIA?"
"Not Poland, East Prussia,
Ukraine, Belarus...?"
"No! In Katyn...
IN RUSSIA, just west
Of Smolensk?" An arrest...
And her question? Completely forgotten.

#5  How about don't try to take over a city to hand it over to the Russians. Then when you get your ass beat, don't bring dead AKs into it or the citizens of said city will rise up and meet you with deadly anger.

Eric Ciaramella - deep state commie stooge who who was central in a coup plot to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States.

#4  QFT: The massacre on May 2, 2014 in the hero city of Odessa still remains one of the most shameful pages of Ukrainian history.

An Eric Ciaramella (fluent ukrainian speaker of ukrainian decent) operation.

#3  My mistake. Didn't read it carefully enough for my different frame of reference.

If it is justice that this author wants, here is a clear case of mass murders currently being committed in the sphere were Russians can act immediately. The crimes are named along with the place, right down to the building, and people are identified.
"Anti-corruption website Gulagu.net exposes secret Wagner Group prison responsible for torture and executions of hundreds of Ukrainian prisoners (and Russians)"

Too close to Putin? How about someone way down the totem pole?

#2  Khatyn is a reference to a Belorussian village, not Katyn in Poland.

#1  It began as a soccer hooligan street brawl during the Russian takeover of Crimea and Donetsk. With marches and demonstrations on both sides. The pro-Russian side came armed with clubs and helmets and attacked. The pro-Ukrainians then dug up paving bricks. Then someone on the pro-separatist side began shooting into the Ukrainian side. It may have begun with someone (at least partially) dressed like a riot policeman but others joined in. Several people on the pro-Ukrainian side were killed and dozens wounded.

Several more hours and pro-Ukrainians (by now vastly outnumbering the pro-Russians) got the upper hand, chased 300 or so pro-Russians into the trade union building, burned down a protest tent city in front of the building. More fighting occurred in the trade union building with the Ukrainians chasing the pro-Russians up. By now Molotov cocktails, guns, knives and clubs were used by both sides in the fighting. Then a fire started on the 3rd floor during the fighting. 46 pro-Russians died of smoke inhalation, jumping from the building, shot or stabbed.

Moral of the story: Don't brings guns to a soccer hooligan fight. Don't steal another people's land, esp when you are in the minority.

Yeah, it really was just like Khatyn were the Russians murdered 25,000 of the upper echelon of Polish society in order suppress Polish culture and resistance in the part of Poland the Russians invaded. Congenitally lying idiots.

BBC reporting several days later.
