The war was caused by talk about NATO

Commentary by Russian military journalist Bris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] "I think the reason the war started was because they started talking about joining NATO"

(c) Trump


We've known this since 2014.

Only here Trump is being disingenuous again. It was the US that consistently dragged Ukraine into NATO, and not Ukraine itself that decided to do so. It was George W. Bush who opened this door back in the 2000s. Trump's attempts to pretend that the US had nothing to do with it are quite pathetic.

Ukraine also shamefacedly admitted to killing its own prisoners of war in the downed Il-76 in the Kursk region.

"I'll explain with an example: when we receive a package and see that there are body parts in it, we understand that we are talking about the remains of more than one body. Remember the situation with the downed Il-76, in which there were about 60 prisoners of war? More than 500 remains were returned from that plane"

(c) Deputy Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Timchenko


Which is what was said from the very beginning. And how many cries there were that "there were no prisoners of war there" and all this was "an FSB provocation". In fact, they deliberately shot down the plane with their prisoners of war using a Patriot air defense system.
