“Tell the Truth . . . Such Evil on Earth”
— Ukranian President Zelensky
Written & Narrated by LeRoy Chatfield
Publisher Syndic Literary Journal
The entire world is watching with horror as Russia continues to massacre the Ukranian people because they will not surrender their country, their freedom and their Ukranian Independence achieved in 1991 after the break-up of the Soviet Union.
The United Nations Security Council has begun investigating whether or not War Crimes have been committed by the Russian Army.
Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky testified before the United Nations Security Council:
” The Russian military purposefully shot and killed women outside their houses when they just tried to call someone who is alive. They killed entire families, adults and children, and they tried to burn their bodies. Citizens were shot in the back of their heads after being tortured, their bodies left strewn about on the street and in mass graves.
The Russian army killed civilians in Bucha ‘just for their pleasure’.
They cut off limbs, slashed their throats, raped and killed women in front of their children. Their tongues were pulled out because the aggressor did not want to hear what they wanted to hear from them.”
In addition, the world media has provided us with daily visual evidence of around-the-clock indiscriminate bombing of maternity hospitals, theaters, suburban residential neighborhoods, schools and train stations – all targets designed to massacre civilians to accept submission.
More than 5.0 million Ukrainians are now officially classified as “refugees”, but when you understand the bombing of civilians is what caused Ukranian families to flee for survival, in fact, this is the most hateful form of ethnic cleansing imaginable!
Russia is not just guilty of War Crimes, Russia is guilty of Crimes against Humanity, and if we learned anything during World II is was that you cannot practice diplomacy with a born-again -Hitler, or negotiate a cease fire, or believe anything such a Hitler says – it is never the truth, only a litany of lies.
Syndic Literary Journal along,with The Family of Man, stand in Solidarity with our brothers and sisters – the courageous people of Ukraine.
