‘Simply Executed’ Ukrainian officials say of bodies found in mass graves
A horrendous site of over 900 dead bodies were found in mass graves near Kyiv according to reports from officials Friday. The findings are evidence of “further atrocities allegedly committed by Russian troops against the civilian population” reports the Associated Press.
Andriy Nebytov, the head of Kyiv’s regional police force, told reporters that more than “900 civilian bodies have been discovered in the region surrounding the Ukrainian capital following the withdrawal of Russian forces.”
“Most” of the bodies found were “fatally shot, police said Friday, an indication that many people were ‘simply executed.’”
Nebytov “cited police data indicating that 95% died from gunshot wounds,” according to the report. “Consequently, we understand that under the [Russian] occupation, people were simply executed in the streets,” Nebytov said.
“Consequently, we understand that under the (Russian) occupation, people were simply executed in the streets,” added Nebytov.
He also said more bodies are being discovered every day. The largest number in a mass grave was found in Bucha, where there were more than 350 executed bodies.
The Associated Press also noted that according to Nebytov, utilities workers in Bucha gathered and buried bodies in the Kyiv suburb while it remained under Russian control. Russian troops, he added, were “tracking down” people who expressed strong pro-Ukrainian views.

Israel Defense Forces say coalition successfully intercepted over 99 percent of Iranian drones, missiles

“Our defense systems are deployed, and we are prepared for any scenario, both in defense and offense. The State of Israel is strong, the IDF is strong, the public is strong,” Netanyahu said.
“We appreciate the US for standing by Israel’s side as well as the support of the UK, France and many other countries,” he continued.
“I established a clear principle — whoever hurts us, we will hurt them. We will defend ourselves from any threat and we will do so calmly and with determination.”
In conjunction with the attack, Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei launched a tirade against Israel on Saturday and blamed the Jewish state for the recent attack on an Iranian compound in Damascus, Syria.
“The malicious regime has made a wrong move in this case. It should be punished and it will be punished,” he said of Israel.
National Review reports:
Iran typically targets Israel through its network of well-resourced regional proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel continues to fights its war against Hamas sparked by the terrorist group’s mass civilian slaughter and rape on October 7.
Hamas rejected another temporary cease-fire proposal after negotiations began in Cairo, Egypt last weekend between U.S., Qatari, and Egyptian officials. The cease-fire proposal would have seen Israel exchange hundreds of Gazan prisoners for dozens of the hostages held in captivity by Hamas.
As for injuries, a seven-year-old girl suffered severe injuries from shrapnel that fell directly onto her home. She was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery for a head wound. An estimated 31 people in total were treated for stress and minor injuries.
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Hagari: More than 200 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles were fired from Iran. Most of the threats were intercepted outside Israeli airspace. A very small number of missiles hit Israeli territory with minor damages to a military base in…

I would never believe the Ukrainians. The Neo-Nazi Azov battalion most likely did it.

Why fake the surprise and outrage? Your former allies and their allies are customary to mass-graves: Katynka, Srebrenitza… and who knows how many in the cold Siberia… or vast China… or…

People need to stop listening to media sources that never investigate the story for themselves; or who repeat statements released by government and/or invested parties. That is just passing along disinformation or propaganda.

Thank you for reporting the truth instead of regurgitating the pro-Kremlin propaganda like so many conservative outlets have been given to lately.
