RUSSIAN forces were given instructions to massacre people, according to Ukraine’s intelligence service Friday night.

After soldiers alerted him that they had innocent civilians in their sights, an enraged Russian general allegedly said “shoot them all.”

During the war of Mariupol, where 150,000 civilians are still besieged by a Russian siege, Ukrainian agents said they hacked a phone call.

During weeks of constant bombing, it is estimated that at least 5,000 people were killed.

A Russian soldier tells his commander in an intercepted radio transmission, which could not be authenticated, that he sees two persons dressed in civilian clothes.

“Kill them all!” shouts their leader.

“Understood,” says a soldier.

“What are you waiting for?” the commander asks. before he is informed that “it is a civilian settlement.” “Shoot the civilian automobiles,” shouts the Russian commander.

The accusation arose when Ukrainian forces were accused of murdering Russian POWs.

A video purports to show four paratroopers laying in pools of blood on a road.

When a jeering Ukrainian soldier opens fire, at least one of the men survives.

The Ukrainian defence ministry claimed it was “working to authenticate” the video, although a BBC investigation revealed it was filmed on or before March 29, west of Kyiv.

Evidence of Russian crimes has been accumulating in areas outside of Kyiv, where Russian forces have been forced to flee.

Oleksi Tsibko, the former captain of Ukraine’s rugby team, and ballet dancer Artem Datsyshyn were among those killed at Bucha. Dozens of dead victims with their hands tied behind their backs have been discovered there.

At least 400 people have been confirmed dead, with hundreds more still missing.

Other intercepted radio communications appear to show Russian forces discussing the massacre, according to German spies.

In one, a Russian claims to have shot and killed a cyclist.

In another, a voice claims that Russian forces interrogated German soldiers before slaughtering them.

Nadeja Cherednichenko of Bucha claimed she discovered her deceased son Volodymyr, 27, who had been shot in the ear and had all five fingers on his left hand fractured.

The unexpected retreat has exposed horrifying sights of destruction, with massive convoys of tanks and vehicles entirely destroyed by Russian forces.

Meanwhile, residents have begun to return to Kyiv in order to reconstruct their lives. Officials cautioned, however, that Russian agents were also attempting to infiltrate the country with missile guidance devices.

“Over two days, 16 sabotage and reconnaissance units were arrested by combined measures in Kyiv itself,” Army Deputy Chief of Staff Oleksandr Hruzevych stated. We thought it was peaceful, but the enemy has arrived.

“We just did a scan of one location yesterday and caught one group: a lot of sensors used to direct missiles.”

People in the country’s far east have been warned to escape amid worries that Russia is planning a big attack.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for tougher sanctions to be imposed in order to avert an attack.

“If there is no very harsh package of sanctions on Russia and no supply of weapons we actually need and have requested for many times,” he added, “Russia will consider it a permission.” Permission to go even further… A green light to commence a new bloodbath in Donbas.”

Russian soldiers are presently striking from the north at Izyum, from the east in Donbas, and from the south.

Women, children, and the elderly were advised to leave Dnipro, Ukraine’s third biggest city.

It came after a similar warning to inhabitants in the frontline districts of Luhansk and Donetsk to “flee or face death.”

Western officials have cautioned that Russia is concentrating its efforts in the Donbas area, which has seen a surge in violence.

The spokesman for Russian despot Vladimir Putin confirmed “major force casualties” Wednesday, but denied committing war crimes.

Dmitry Peskov said it was not a war, but a “special military operation,” citing Ukraine’s status as a “anti-Russian centre” since 2014.

He also stated that Russia withdrew from Kyiv and Chernihiv as an expression of “goodwill,” and he disregarded photographs of dead civilians as “false.”

Russia was expelled from the United Nations Human Rights Council Monday as punishment for its invasion of Ukraine.

The US motion received 93 votes in favour, 24 votes against, and 58 abstentions from the assembly’s 193 members. It was just the second time a country has been suspended, following Libya in 2011.
