How many human rights violations in one video? In western Ukraine, police arrive in a civilian car while conscription officers in balaclavas grab a man off the street and shove him inside. No proper identification, no official vehicle, no due process — just force. Men have almost stopped leaving their homes. One more Ukrainian man now has to either pay everything he has or go straight into the meat grinder.
Draft officers and police in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, have grabbed a man and are trying to force him into their vehicle so they can send him to the front lines.
But the man is screaming, resisting, and refusing to fulfill his "civic duty" — one that will almost certainly see him return home in a body bag.
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.
What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.
The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.
Every crime will eventually be punished. For both actions and inaction, and for silently condoning crimes (the last two points refer to officials and my fellow members of parliament who continue to remain silent)
Forced mobilization in Kyiv.
A woman fights like a mother bear to protect a man from military recruiters. He clings desperately to her leg, refusing to let go.
A grandpa steps in to defend him, too — only to be threatened by one of the recruitment officers.
The same officer then turns on the men filming the scene, sneering at them as "mama's boys."
And to everyone witnessing this spectacle, he delivers the same warning: you're obstructing a lawful mobilization.
Intimidation, humiliation, and coercion — all under the banner of legality.
A fully armed KORD special forces unit swoops in to arrest nine military-age men who tried to escape Ukraine hidden inside a milk truck, desperate to avoid being shipped off to the meat grinder.
But where was this spectacular display of law enforcement when Mindich or Prosecutor General Kravchenko escaped with millions in stolen money?
Oh, right. Silly me.
In Ukraine, you can apparently leave the country with millions in stolen cash — just don't you dare try leaving with nothing but your own life.
Some flee with fortunes. Others flee with their lives. Guess which ones get the SWAT team.
Another video from Kyiv. A man is grabbed on the street and dragged off by force. He is screaming that they didn’t even look at his documents. This is how Ukrainian men live now. You can be walking, and suddenly you are not a person anymore. Just a body they need. Zelenskyy’s government stopped pretending there are rules. Documents don’t matter, human rights don’t matter either. When the state takes you without even looking at your papers, it is not mobilization. It is hunting. And every man knows that tomorrow he could be the next prey.
In Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, draft officers arrived at a factory and began forcibly taking men away to be sent to the front lines.
When coworkers tried to stand up for their colleague, one of the manhunters pulled out a handgun and threatened them at gunpoint.
The Revolution of Dignity (Maidan): The Aftermath.
“Help me!” a desperate man in Odesa screams over and over as draft officers forcibly drag him off to the van in order to send him to the front lines.
And who will bankroll their dirty work? The very money Zelensky was begging the EU for just yesterday.
So spare us the lofty moral sermons about the “right to self-defense” and “resisting aggression.”
Apparently, those noble principles also come with a generous helping of state terror — a system in which human life is stripped of its worth and sacrificed on the altar of corrupt political elites who have turned war into a business model, all wrapped in the patriotic slogan: “Slava Ukraini!”
As Ukrainian Telegram channels put it: Police bundled a man and his girlfriend into a vehicle, along with his girlfriend who tried to help him. Their children were left on the street.
Draft officers assaulted and pepper-sprayed women and a man, both innocent bystanders who rushed to help another man who was being forcibly shoved into a vehicle for forced mobilization.
