Ukrainian survivor of Russian torture files legal complaint in #Argentina

A Ukrainian man has filed a criminal complaint to Argentina's Federal Judiciary against the Russian occupying forces who tortured him, The Reckoning Project (TRP), an international NGO that works to bring war crime cases to court, announced on April 16.

Argentina's constitution allows for trials on "international crimes, including crimes against humanity and #WarCrimes, irrespective of where they took place," on the basis of universal jurisdiction, TRP said in a press release.

Though this case is the first time a #Ukrainian #torture complaint has been filed in Argentina, Mr M said that he is "one of so many cases."

#Ukrainian #Freedom_Orchestra in #Warschau

Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 von Frédéric #Chopin

Die #Metropolitan_Opera New York und die #Polnische_Nationaloper in Warschau haben als Geste der #Solidarität mit den #Opfern des #Krieges in der #Ukraine das Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra gegründet. Das #Exilorchester ging im Sommer 2022 auf Europa- und USA-Tournee und ARTE war beim Eröffnungskonzert in Warschau im #Teatr_Wielki dabei.
Der #Angriffskrieg #Russlands gegen die Ukraine hat die Welt nachhaltig erschüttert. #Musik kann den #Krieg nicht beenden, doch sie kann #Wunden_heilen und eine mächtige Waffe gegen #Unterdrückung sein. Und so war die Tournee des Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra ein Ausdruck der #Liebe zum #Heimatland. Das Orchester besteht aus #geflüchteten #Musikerinnen und #Musikern, ukrainischen Mitgliedern europäischer Orchester und einigen der besten #Berufsmusizierenden_der_Ukraine. Die Idee zur Gründung des Orchesters stammt von der kanadischen #Dirigentin #Keri-Lynn_Wilson, die ukrainische Vorfahren hat. Sie wollte die besten Orchestermusikerinnen und Orchestermusiker der Ukraine aus dem In- und Ausland zusammenbringen, um eine stolze #künstlerische_Einheit zu demonstrieren.

#ARTE zeigt einen Teil des #Gründungskonzertes, das 2022 im Großen Theater in Warschau stattfand. Gespielt wird das #Klavierkonzert Nr._2 von #Frédéric_Chopin mit der ukrainischen Klavier-Virtuosin Anna #Fedorova. Das Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra wurde auf Initiative der New Yorker Metropolitan Opera und der Polnischen Nationaloper in Warschau gegründet. Der Erlös der Tournee kam ukrainischen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern zugute.

Aufzeichnung vom 28. Juli 2022 aus dem Großen Theater, Warschau.

Ruzzia might have raised a flag there, but it clearly isn't over for Avdiivka.

N. Korea has always salivated over a war with the U.S. and given its size, aka manufacturing capability size, Russia has provided a huge armament sinkhole and I suppose that's one thing we should be grateful to Putin for...however...N. Korea has been shooting rocket wads into the sea and wants to be in orbit. Russian tech is nice for that, but nobody can fly without supply.

‘The Front is Cracking, The Front is Crumbling’: Ukrainian Officers Lament Army’s Gradual Collapse After Extreme Losses

The latest statements highlighting personnel shortages follow statements by both Russian and Ukrainian officials highlighting extreme casualty rates suffered by Ukrainian forces in 2023. Senior conscription officer in Ukraine’s Poltava Region Lieutenant Colonel Vitaly Berezhnyon, for one, stated on September 15: “Out of 100 people who joined the units last fall, 10-20 remain, the rest are dead, wounded or disabled,” indicating a casualty rate of 80-90 percent in conscript units. An unnamed commander of a battalion in a mechanised brigade informed the Washington Post his unit had been cut down by 80 percent, and was reduced to a strength of under 40 infantrymen down from 200. Another battalion commander, identifying as Alexander, said his infantry companies were staffed at about 35 percent, with his colleague from an assault brigade stating this situation was “typical” for combat units.

I was just scrolling yesterday through my stared posts in looking for something and I found this - which just seems way too relevant today in light of the #TuckerCarlson interview with #Putin.

Always remember what #peace means for #Russia whenever that #Kremlin idiot says it wants #negotiations. Always remember what #concessions by #Ukraine in exchange for #peace actually means for #TerroRussia. The only #peace which is acceptable for #Putler is the one where Ukraine gives up all its territory. Then #Moscow can start its #ethniccleaning and the erasure of #Ukrainian identity, just like it did with all the people in its empire. And when that happens, other countries are endangered of following suite - #Moldova, #Georgia, #TheBaltics, even #Poland and #Romania.

At this point, you could comfortably say that Russia is the last classical style #colonialempire of Europe. The only way to #EndTheWarInUkraine is to #defeatrussia.

To those who thinks that #Ukraine should negotiate peace with #Russia, then Medvedev has just removed any reason to do so:https://twitter.com/MedvedevRussiaE/status/1691545649299304448

#Ukraine is a murderous rouge state and a member of the wef nwo pure evil death cult

#Quote Chilean-American blogger #GonzaloLira has #died in a #Ukrainian #prison, his family said on Friday.

“I cannot accept the way my son has died. He was tortured, extorted, incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days and the US Embassy did nothing to help my son. The responsibility of this tragedy is the dictator Zelensky with the concurrence of a senile American President, Joe Biden,” his father Gonzalo Lira Sr. wrote in a note published by The Grayzone.

Lira Senior also reached out to X host Tucker Carlson, confirming the death of his son in Ukrainian custody. He had spoken to Carlson about the case in early December.

His son Lira, 55, used to live in Kharkov and blog as ‘CoachRedPill,’ but switched to YouTube commentary after the conflict with Russia escalated in February 2022. He was arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) last May and accused of “discrediting” the Ukrainian leadership and the military.

Lira resurfaced in late July with a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), revealing his torture in jail and attempts of the SBU to extort him for money. He said he was trying to flee to Hungary and seek asylum. Then he disappeared again.

Two days later, a source confirmed to RT that Lira had been caught and imprisoned by Ukrainian authorities. He has not been heard from since.

According to a handwritten note Lira’s sister received on January 4, he had severe health problems caused by #pneumonia and a collapsed lung, which began in mid-October. The prison authorities only acknowledged the issue on December 22, and he was supposed to undergo surgery. The note was provided to The Grayzone by Lira Senior.

Russia deports another 450 Ukrainian children

Russia has deported another 450 children from areas of Ukraine under Russian occupation, the National Resistance Center reported on Aug. 17.

According to the center, 50 Ukrainian high school students were sent to #Yaroslavl, a city about 250 kilometers northeast of #Moscow. The center believes that once there, Russian teachers will try to convince the students to continue their higher education at Yaroslavl State University.

Another:

  • 200 children from occupied parts of Luhansk Oblast
  • 150 children from Kherson Oblast
  • 50 children from Zaporizhzhia Oblast

Were all sent to 'summer camps' in #Krasnodar region.

Ukrainian children are taught to believe Russian propaganda in these camps and attend activities like Russian patriotic concerts. At the end of the camp, #Ukrainian children are often not returned home.
