Russian soldier pleads guilty in first war crimes trial of Ukraine conflict – BBC News

Published

on



A Russian soldier has pleaded guilty to killing an unarmed civilian, in Ukraine’s first war crimes trial since the war began.

Vadim Shishimarin admitted shooting a 62-year-old man, who was allegedly on a bicycle, near the village of Chupakhivka in the eastern Sumy region of Ukraine.

The 21-year-old faces life in prison. Prosecutors say more trials are to come, after identifying other potential war crimes committed by Russian soldiers.

Moscow has denied its troops have targeted civilians.

BBC correspondent Sarah Rainsford reports from Kyiv.

    They choose him as the ultimate racial stereotype of a Russian. He looks half Asian and is therefore a portrayed as a slavic mongol type who is savage and barbaric in nature. Soldiers and people lost their genitals by boxcutting. And people are raped as usual.

    There is an neonazi agenda in some Ukrainian elites and armies to feel purely slav. And I don't think zelensky can do much about it.

    Its so disturbing and morally manipulate what people do in war.

    ( I can only beg those who suffered and died so unfair and humiliated having a meaning to a deeply down nihilistic condescending oblivionate atheist world.) (I don't even think some hopeful atheists think like that)

Газеты в Европе и в Америки задавали не удобные вапросы на эту тему и их тут же стали преследовать и подвергать демократическому прессингу от ЦРу и толерантному избиению от полиции, так что бы не один голос не звучал в разрес с Американской политекой массового истребления граждан всего мира! Сколько людей погибло от ковида сколько заболевших и эта заслуга именно Американского правительства и его политики геноцида по отношению к людям всего мира!😎

    Trump pardoned US soldiers found guilty of murder in Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe he can pardon this kid? NATO and company has committed mass murder over the years. Azov group has murdered thousands. Zelensky loves them.

  22. @up7484

    December 31, 2023 at 6:51 pm

    Does anyone know that Zelensky has banned all opposition political parties and is detaining its members?

    Not only that, but Zelensky has also banned a TV channel which was critical of his government in the past?

    They even want to extradite a ukranian journalist in Spain merely for his critical views?

    According to the news I have been watching, Russia is committing crimes against Ukraine. It shouldn't happen in the first place, and, since it happened, there should be a trial. However, it seems completely unfair to me that a small fish will spend his life in prison (of course it's not always like that because of possible future negotiations) and the big shark is still there commanding his troops to murder many others just for his name to be a glorious part of the Russian (and World) History. ALL those involved (President, Ministers, Generals, and soldiers) should receive the same sentence. But, we all know, it depends on politics, the Nuremberg tribunal is there to prove it.

    Matthew 24
    New International Version
    The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(A)
    24 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another;(B) every one will be thrown down.”

    3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,(C) the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming(D) and of the end of the age?”(E)

    4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(F) 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.(G) 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(H) There will be famines(I) and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

    9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted(J) and put to death,(K) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.(L) 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets(M) will appear and deceive many people.(N) 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(O) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom(P) will be preached in the whole world(Q) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

    15 “So when you see standing in the holy place(R) ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a](S) spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop(T) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(U) 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.(V)

    22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect(W) those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.(X) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders(Y) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

    26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning(Z) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(AA) of the Son of Man.(AB) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(AC)

    29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

    “‘the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
    the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b](AD)

    30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn(AE) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(AF) with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels(AG) with a loud trumpet call,(AH) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

    32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door.(AI) 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(AJ) 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(AK)

    The Day and Hour Unknown(AL)(AM)
    36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father.(AN) 37 As it was in the days of Noah,(AO) so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,(AP) up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.(AQ) 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.(AR) 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.(AS)

    42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.(AT) 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(AU) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready,(AV) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

    45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,(AW) whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.(AX) 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.(AY) 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.(AZ) 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth..

    He is a misguided young man, brainwashed and forced to do something he did not want to do. His higher ups should be strung up, drawn and quartered. They have scapegoated a child for their evil. Probably like so many other disaffected youth around the world. Leaders should be he acoountable and jailed. Civil and military. It is of course the worst tragedy for the poor woman and her husband. But the blood is not on his hands.

    Lol this news channel is so biased. You just got brainwashed bruh. I never trust a single news that came from western country or america or europe when it's about war. They want you to believe what they want you to believe, not what you need to believe. They're way nasty more than you could ever imagine. And bruh instead of encourage ukrainian to fight alongside Mr. Bean, just surrender to Russia like any other country when they got attacked by usa.

    A child who was sent to a war without really knowing where and for what. I only read black and white here! At the age of 21, who of you knew what to believe in, which ideals to represent, what to define as right for yourself or as good? At 21, the children today neither know what the Cold War means nor fascism. These kids got a gun in their hands or under their feet and they were told to shoot it. If you refuse, you will be court-martialled, or your sister will not be allowed to study, or your father will lose his job and your mother will be ashamed of you. I grew up in exactly such a system. This is another tragedy. The much greater tragedy is 90% of your hate comments. You get drunk on suffering, demarcation and your quick guilty verdicts. I hope the woman can forgive the child someday. I hope we can all forgive ourselves at some point.

UK government defeated in High Court over climate plans | BBC News

Published

on



The UK government has been defeated in court – for a second time – for not doing enough to meet its targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Environmental campaigners argued that the energy minister signed off the government’s climate plan without evidence it could be achieved.

The High Court ruled on Friday that the government will now be required to redraft the plan again.

In response the government defended its record on climate action.
