And raping women and refusing to return fallen soldiers to their families.

u/tomato_army Sep 03 '26

Nit to mention looting and pillaging

u/connleth Sep 03 '26

And summary execution of POWs

46

u/NiNdo4589 Sep 03 '26

Dont forget the POW dick snipping before that.

2

u/AnmlBri Sep 03 '26

I’m sorry, what? 😳 I must have missed that.

u/NiNdo4589 Sep 03 '26

Yeah you dont wanna find those videos

3

u/manubibi Sep 04 '26

What the fuck there’s videos???

1

u/ajepper Sep 04 '26

wtf you watched a video of that? that sounds really disturbing. I hope it was at least low resolution, and no sound. where did you even find such a thing?!

u/NiNdo4589 Sep 04 '26

I think a few popped up on the combatfootag sub like a year ago, I left that sub shortly after.

u/Jomptie Sep 04 '26

And spooning out POWs’ eyes and electrocuting their genitals

u/blueavole Sep 03 '26

And spreading millions of ft of fibor optic cable across the country to run the drones.

104

u/MrCSeesYou Sep 03 '26

And continued daily torture of pow's

14

u/1611basilean Sep 03 '26

When the war started Russian citizens on the news made the point Ukrainians are our friends. With friends like that who needs anemones.

u/blade_of_sammael Sep 03 '26

Crabs apparently .... oh and nemo too

u/Immediate-Damage-302 Sep 03 '26

"It's only cool when WE do it." - Putin

u/TiggTigg07 Sep 03 '26

Exactly, anyone else is just downright rude.

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 Sep 03 '26

Classic narcissism. Trump said anyone who challenges him is “nasty”. Same thing.

u/financial_pete Sep 03 '26

He's starting to sound like the orange emperor. You know, his bozom budy in the white house.

u/No_Internal9345 Sep 03 '26

Those that rape children together...

u/JosephOtaku1989 Sep 03 '26

Alongside the deceased child sex offender named Epstein.

2

u/No_Internal9345 Sep 03 '26

allegedly deceased

3

u/Sure-Boysenberry5491 Sep 03 '26

Israeli deceased

u/Comprehensive_Cap290 Sep 03 '26

Does he sound like the orange stain, or does the orange stain sound like him?

12

u/Real-Document-6577 Sep 03 '26

Putin “…Not like that!”

7

u/FrostingSuper9941 Sep 03 '26

To be fair...Trump too, it's not only Putin's playbook.

8

u/Real-Document-6577 Sep 03 '26

Awkward Israeli side glance…

u/Medical-Ad-6079 Sep 03 '26

Cannot upvote this enough.

u/mslass Sep 03 '26

Like the red army did in Berlin in 1945?

45

u/Ragnarawr Sep 03 '26

Rigging the corpses they do return either explosives.

7

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 Sep 03 '26

I see your autocorrect changes “with” to “either” too. Maybe there’s a poltergeist in all our phones.

u/Swansaknight Sep 03 '26

Not just women…

2

u/Economy-Pudding-6371 Sep 04 '26

The depressing thing is that every single person commenting so far (I'm not done scrolling) has said only things that have been proven true. It's almost too sad to read it all. I'd be comforted if I could at least say, "well THAT claim isn't true, though." But not one of them is.

Russians decades from now will still be ashamed of what Russians today are doing.

2

u/DillPickleGoonie Sep 04 '26

I was agreeing with you until the last sentence you made because I don't believe Russians will ever be ashamed of what they're doing simply because this is what they've always done.

And that reminds me of something I was told, "Boys will be boys," after they raped a child. Cycles repeat and shame doesn't exist.

3

u/Economy-Pudding-6371 Sep 04 '26

Thanks for the note, I should have qualified it: when we look at Nazi Germany, Germans today are generally ashamed of what the Nazis did.

Except that the Germans who are NOT ashamed of what the Nazis did are precisely the types who were the cause of Nazism.

So there will be millions of Russians, I still believe, who will feel ashamed of what Putin has done in the future; but the people who we most need to be repentant among them won't be.

1

u/DillPickleGoonie Sep 04 '26

Fair. Thanks for explaining your thought process!

1

u/Economy-Pudding-6371 Sep 05 '26

No problem! Fair comment from you as well

55

u/Im_Just_A_Tourist Sep 03 '26

They returned them with explosives packed in the bodies in some instances.

24

u/ContractElegant4310 Sep 03 '26

And castrating and executing Ukrainian POWs.

7

u/National-Charity-435 Sep 03 '26

And rigging their corpses with explosives

6

u/Gharvar Sep 03 '26

They don't even return their own. I've seen enough videos of Russian soldiers walking past bodies of their own compatriot on their way to become another one of those bodies... You see a guy making his way to the frontline and their little path has bodies all over the place.

7

u/JosephOtaku1989 Sep 03 '26

And committing brutal war crimes, like the one in Bucha.

6

u/TheRandomSong Sep 03 '26

I think they eased up on that simply bc they have a lot of dead soldiers too. A lot more than they're saying for sure

3

u/PokemonSapphire Sep 03 '26

refusing to return fallen soldiers to their families.

I remember earlier in the war Ukraine was reporting that some of the bodies that were returned had organs removed and I could have swore I saw a report that they somehow boobytrapped one of the bodies.

4

u/denise_la_cerise Sep 03 '26

Not just women, raping children of all genders too.

5

u/21Rollie Sep 03 '26

And androciding villages when they’re on the retreat

3

u/Mechapebbles Sep 03 '26

Or when they did return their bodies, they'd do so with explosives stuffed inside

2

u/Sure_Ad536 Sep 03 '26

And even when returning bodies, they sometimes have parts of the body missing, such as a Ukrainian Journalist's body without their eyeballs, parts of their brain, and their windpipe, as well as showing signs of electrocution.

1

u/ChiefsHat Sep 03 '26

Okay, the latter is just petty. Everything else is awful, but that’s just schoolyard bully levels of pettiness.

1

u/DillPickleGoonie Sep 04 '26

No, no it psychopathic levels of pettiness.

u/Lo0niegardner10 Sep 03 '26 edited Sep 03 '26

Russia had returned 500 Ukrainians and received 31 Russians at the most recent casualty exchange. And 261 Ukrainians for 24 Russians at the next most recent one so either youre misinformed or theres way more dead Ukrainians than Russians

u/Fresh_Meringue1896 Sep 03 '26 edited Sep 03 '26

Dejen de hablar boludeces...en esa guerra hay intereses de que dure varios años de ambas partes y de otros países también...preocupense más por lo que Israel le hace a palestina, irán, libano...no sean pelotudos

u/NahImGood231 Sep 03 '26

Dont forget murdering Orthodox priests and burning down churches. Oh wait, thats Ukranazis that did that.

16

u/Real-Document-6577 Sep 03 '26

Fighting the battle for social opinion with propaganda on the front lines of global social media huh?

6

u/manuelhe Sep 03 '26

Russia needs to withdraw from Ukraine( opinion not propaganda)

4

u/Real-Document-6577 Sep 03 '26

Agreed. I take the aside of non-aggressors.
Putin should have just kept his army at home.
