Looks like insufficient evidence so far, regarding the alleged chemical release...

However, the news in general is not good with Putin claiming peace talks have reached a dead end and the Mayor of Mariupol claiming 20,000 people have died in the city. 

Its 10,000 dead. Still a horrific number.

Hi Lookout, I was only joking. The image is from WW1.

Interesting politics in France right now. What difference will it make if Marine Le Pen wins-----being a friend of Putin ? 

[lookout]

This is a very complicated and complex war at the moment where Russia calls out Ukraine for their Nazi tendencies yet it's Russia who are re-enacting the Second World War ? All very confusing.

Marine Le Pen was/ is a member of the National Front and her vote is to remove France from the EU. Why ?
It's our equivelant of Brexit ( for which I didn't vote for ) Britain's reason why ? No answer ! Because it's a far-right vote so far as I can see involving many facets of society.
What exactly does the National Front stand for ? Authoritarianism !

In the 70's I attended a very " closed " meeting with the late John Tyndall ( NF-BNP ) , a very cold character, clever and a marvellous speaker---I'd give him that. Looking back, his actions were a mixture of Hitler and Putin but an interesting person nevertheless. Waiting outside were hordes of skinheads and mounted police. Here, we had one thing laughing at the other---skinheads decrying a far-right speaker ?

Of course they're war crimes.

Their own contradictory claims prove their culpability. First Bucha never happened, then Bucha was staged by the Ukraine, now Bucha did happen but it was done by British forces.

    Zelensky posted the pictures of opposition politician on his Telegram channel. Offered him in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners.
    Imagine the press that Putin(or any non allied leader) would get if he paraded beaten and handcuffed politicians on his personal social media channel offering crude and cynical trades for captured forces. Very Statesmanlike and Presidential.
    The crude gangsterism will not even be commented on by Western media.

   Extortion, kidnapping all done publicly via social media. It doesn't appear to be going too well for the NATO gangsters. Zelensky has no agency and is the puppet of others. Gangsterism and thuggery such as the above make this evident.

     A media seemingly interested in war crimes to the point of obsession but no comment. Perhaps they don't follow Zelensky on Telegram.

So Ukrainians keeping a guy alive in handcuffs and taking a photo of him is bad. Russians tying people up and shooting them before burying them mass graves is ok. Gringo logic 101

   He really ought to get on Twitter. Liz Truss has an account and is interested in working with her Nazi partners as she tweeted yesterday.
