“Perhaps it is convenient to close your eyes and pretend that nothing is happening. Isolate yourself from information in a comfortable bubble. Especially when Russian money has been warming your pocket for so long. I think some politicians should think about whether their grandchildren will have to apologize to them.” – Presidential advisor Volodymyr Zelensky Mikhailo Podolak wrote on Twitter.
“Former Mayor of Dusseldorf, Thomas Geisel questions Russian war crimes and asks if the news from Ukraine can be trusted. I think Mr. Geisel can come and ask questions to a man who lost his family in Odessa, the parents of a girl who was raped from Boksa or refugees from Mariupol “.
Thomas Geisel, Social-Democratic Mayor of Dusseldorf in 2014-2020, published an article on his blog a few days ago, in which he wrote, among other things: “According to Ukrainian sources, 410 civilians died in the Buczau crimes. Of course, every civilian casualty of war is a tragedy, And one for one. But isn’t the Ukrainian rhetoric of genocide ultimately downplaying the war crimes of Srebrenica, My Lai and Babim Yar, to name a few, and perhaps also the Dresden night bombing in which 30,000 people were supposed to die?
