I’d like to see them post a picture the morning after. Curious to see how many were left after their night of happy adventuring.
However, the document that has now been adopted stipulates that Ukraine will not recognize the jurisdiction of the Criminal Court for war crimes for seven years when it comes to Ukrainian citizens. This is due to the army’s fears that its actions in the fight against Russian forces could in some cases be charged as war crimes.
Ahh, that’s why they want a free pass.
Do you have a source for that quote? I’d like to save it.
Sadly not in english. Here is the source.
This the part I translated:
In dem nun verabschiedeten Dokument ist allerdings festgelegt, dass die Ukraine die Zuständigkeit des Strafgerichtshofs für Kriegsverbrechen sieben Jahre lang nicht anerkennen wird, wenn es um ukrainische Bürger geht. Hintergrund sind Befürchtungen der Armee, dass ihr Vorgehen im Kampf gegen russische Kräfte in einigen Fällen als Kriegsverbrechen angeklagt werden könnte.
Tagesschau is one of the main sources for news in Germany, so its straight westerners press. You can also translate the whole article with DeepL into english, its quite interesting. I mean, they are literally saying, that they now joined it but won’t accept the court for Ukrainian citizens, because of fear that their soldiers would get prosecuted regarding possible commited war crimes in Russia. How the fuck can anyone accept that?
Russians commiting war crimes in Ukrania: Please put them behind bars, the international court has enforce justice.
Ukrainians commiting war crimes in Russia: No no, please no prosecution for seven years OK?
I like to think there’s some poor schlub in Ukranian Army PR division sending meekly written faxes to division chiefs saying “per my previous memo of June 17, 2021, can we please try to downplay Nazi imagery? Focus groups continue to report it doesn’t play that well with our sponsors.”
I’m pretty sure that share of Nazis in Ukrainian Army PR is close to 100%.
I almost prefer this propaganda to the clearly staged animal wholesomeness ones. I keep seeing posts get circulated of wholesome animal moments “with the army”, and immediately recognize them as Ukrainian posts. People share them without even realizing it, and it’s very disheartening.
