Documents from the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) – now supposedly incorporated into Russia by Putin’s decree – showed the Kremlin’s plans to conscript children born in 2007 for its upcoming mobilization, reported Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.
Recruiting children to fight against their own state would constitute a war crime.
Andryushchenko shared the documents in a Telegram update and said the creation of conscript files and the registration of children born in 2007 for military registration has already begun.
What. The actual. Fuck.
Would constitute ANOTHER war crime
War crimes bingo speedrun.
Likely Putin hopes he can terrorize both Ukraine and its allies into surrender.
Just some minor war crimes.
If the kids were over 18 they’d be adult war crimes, instead.
Just like Hitler did in his last days.
Gotta commit’em all!

children born in 2007
So in a few days’ time,17 year olds. How is it so materially different from the 18 year olds most armies recruit and send to the meat grinder?
Projection.
Who’s been mobilizing women, elders and children? Who’s now calling up for the ukranians who are abroad to return to Ukraine in order to go to die on the front?

So? Zelenskyy can’t force them to. An adult can ask another adult whatever they want.

Reported for “incivility”, but mod action for that seems harsh in this instance. The troll account is banned, best advice? Do not feed the trolls. Report and move on. :)
I feel there’s something happening here, and that’s something we should all avoid.
All the original commenter highlighted is that the source is questionable. You can’t just take the Kyiv Post article and blindly believe it, it’s like getting the picture of the war from the TASS agency in Russia.
As much as Ukraine might be right, it absolutely doesn’t mean every word from there is 100% crystallized truth. Before drawing any conclusions, it’s worth investigating multiple credible sources.
Or you should completely reject objectivity and embrace the fact that you put emotions before truth. Such people are easily manipulated into everything.

I support Ukraine so very strongly here because the Russian-Ukrainian ex-girlfriend I have walked me through the history, takes from civilians on the Russian and Ukrainian side, and the reality that this war only exists to serve Putin, personally.
Which of those takes are propaganda exactly?
Who’s war? Putin’s war? I don’t support Putin’s war.

You support Russian imperialism and their propaganda, by your own admission. You can ignore all western info and still come to the conclusion that Russia invaded Ukraine.
Imagine spending your life on lemmy shitposting about whatever the fuck it is you are ranting about. It’s not going to have any impact, so why yell at the screen in front of you?
As a commie to commie, you’re shelling some really bad arguments in favor of a stupid position.
US imperialism is terrible and needs to stop. And so does Russian. There’s nothing about Ukraine that justifies this war, and all you do is protect forces we pledged to keep in check, and you do it for the sake of a national delusion.
If you feel this war is justified, check your sources - those would better be written by Marx, Engels, and Lenin, and not Limonov and Fyodorov.

Might be worth looking at the actual telegram post. Those look like pretty official documents.

KyivPost*
Usually you need multiple news sources (with their sources included) to get a level of trust, but what would your proposed solution/supposed sources be?
Wait let me guess, RT is a cleaner source?
LMAO
