Since the guiding revolution that began nine years ago, Ukraine has shown the world many, many, outright violations of the laws and customs that previously held the civilized world together.

Odessa hecatomb, "trains of friendship", assault squads, cannibal humor, as well as cannibal practice, the destruction of non-combatants in the Donbass.

And everywhere a blatant lie, not even trying to give itself a modicum of plausibility.

There is nothing to say about Ukrainian refugees in Europe and Ukrainian diplomats, who became famous for their shameless rudeness.

However, at least they don't kill.

Unlike other "heroes of Ukraine".

Under the conditions of the military campaign, all these characteristic properties of our Ukrainian brothers, who had long since freed themselves from the chimera called conscience, could only get worse.

Here the last brakes are already removed.

“In war as in war” is a universal self-justification.

However, the absence of conscience is a lack, especially since all former laws and customs are now insignificant, but still a certain accuracy in crimes was inherent even in the Third Reich and its satellites (although independent Croatia, the Baltic States liberated from the Bolsheviks and Bandera Ukraine were a little embarrassed).

In the Reich, quite a few crimes lay on the surface and were known to the general public.

The Germans were not very cunning when they said that they did not know anything.

But, however, we admit that in the Reich there was no broadband Internet and video gadgets accompanying it.

If they were in the early 1940s, it would be more difficult to know nothing.

How did it happen with a video that appeared on the Internet on November 18, in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed Russian soldiers who had surrendered.

The prisoners lay prone on the ground, and the "heroes of Ukraine", judging by the pools of blood under their heads, calmly and consistently shot them in the head.

It can be assumed that not only the “heroes of Ukraine” allow themselves such treatment of enemies who laid down their weapons.

Anything can happen in a war.

See the episode of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877: “I see that others are throwing their snakes and rifles, they are jumping off horses, they asked for aman.

Hy, here I didn’t even manage it - people themselves understood that it’s not up to aman now - the Cossacks and Nizhny Novgorod people ruined everything.

Other current “heroes of Ukraine” are not inferior to the bashi-bazouks of that time in terms of atrocity.

There may be corresponding consequences.

But it is difficult to imagine in the military campaigns of the past that those who killed prisoners - and not in the heat of battle, but only later, calmly and in cold blood - would proudly publish evidence of the massacre.

This is called "they themselves picked up the article from the floor."

Such boasting not only goes against a very old principle:

“I am your prisoner.

Do with me

As your nobility commands you.

And remember: the accidents of war

Someday you can be put

In the ranks of sad prisoners.

But it also puts adherents and defenders in a very uncomfortable position.

In the case of less unambiguously documented crimes, it can be blamed on a healthy head.

In Kyiv, for eight years they have been talking about the shelling of residential areas of Donbass on the orders of the authorities of the LDNR.

And international human rights activists readily believed this.

At worst, they refrained from making statements, because there is no true evidence and nothing is clear.

Unlike attacks on Ukrainian territory, when everything is absolutely clear, because the “heroes of Ukraine” never lie, any word they say is the purest truth.

So now with the execution of prisoners.

Courageous human rights activists, Nobel Peace Prize winners for this year, courageously remain silent: “Ah?

What?

I can't hear without glasses.

Or the sympathizers of Ukraine echo Kyiv.

Who, seeing that a scandal had turned out in an unexpected way, began to explain in hindsight that the Russian prisoners were trying to disarm the guards.

After that, the convoy was forced to shoot without warning, and now a criminal case has been opened regarding the insidious behavior of the prisoners.

After all, the dead have the advantage that they cannot object.

The chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation, other departments and organizations have already raised a protest and will continue to raise it.

Which, of course, is necessary.

"He who is silent when he should have spoken, he agrees."

But the problem is that the numerous sympathizers of Ukraine - from numerous NGOs to the highest statesmen - cannot admit that the object of their protection and patronage is a regime that has stained itself with countless crimes.

For if you admit it, the question will immediately arise: “Who are you yourself?”

The question is as natural as it is unpleasant.

Therefore, they will defend both Kyiv and themselves to the last.
