Any guesses? Hint: Just like Putin, this group was made up of hardened war criminals, but unlike beautiful and pure Ukraine, could be found in Asia.

A similarity to Ukraine would be their treatment of African students. Also how many Political Ukrainians were in it.

Russia has tended to use it as propaganda quite a bit but it also doesn't really reach English-language press much aside from Zelenskyy talking about stolen children

The most recent articles I read were these from a few months ago:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/26/russia-ukraine-war-children-reeducation-camps/
https://hub.conflictobservatory.org/portal/sharing/rest/content/items/97f919ccfe524d31a241b53ca44076b8/data

The basic findings are that about 6,000 children, a mix of those either separated from their parents or orphans, have been evacuated into Russia or are in camps in the annexed areas such as Crimea. Its an initiative driven by figures appointed by Putin, such as Maria Lvova-Belova who was also charged by the ICC. One of the key problems is that according to the UN, Russia "does not appear to include steps for family reunification or respect the best interests of the child." and so parents who signed away consent over their child in the confusion of the invasion are unable to get their children back.

anyway, imagine a state separating refugee kids from their parents, who would do such a thing /s

hmm it's a real mess and why both sides need to start talking

those kids must be terrified. Can they at least talk to their parents? Any form of contact at all?

fun little tidbits about this vote:

several parties requested the input of experts before the vote was cast. four experts were consulted on the question of if it was a genocide. three clearly said it wasn't, one said it was impossible to know but it wouldn't be a good idea to recognise it as such. these experts were then promptly ignored and the vote passed with ease.

this resolution was also proposed back in 2011 - specifically by the fascist party. back then, all other parties voted it down without much debate.

and of course, the real goal of this resolution was to crush internal dissent - it's one of the many symbolic motions that has been voted on that has the specific purpose of ratfucking the PTB, the belgian communist party that's been rising in the polls since 2015. like how earlier they filed a resolution to condemn the war (fair) but added a few clauses explicitly praising NATO knowing that the PTB would never vote for it.

it's absolutely pathetic.

Not sure on which one is correct: Andreas or Andres, our fighters taught him how to swear and started to talk to him in russian.

Andrei - is from Spain, for two years fought in Kurdish militia against ISIS head choppers.

Worker, socialist, and a proud patriot of Spain. Physically and mentally tough. A fighter against US imperialism.

Andrei didn't come to fight Ukraine by himself, but with comrades.

It's the Foreign Legion in Indochina. Apparently this group reenacts the campaigns in the Red River Delta and Tonkin, c. 1950.



"Caption: Legionnaire Mueller, 3e REI, c. 1952.
The chapeaux de brousse is original (stamped 1952) as is the Allegee jacket and Legion cheiche (scarf)."

Get ready for the banger:


Cherokee Warrior, French and Indian War, Martin's Station, 1765
"An excellent recreation of a Cherokee warrior, French & Indian War (c. 1765). Reenactors tend to be overweight and this can be covered up by period uniform. However, reenacting native requires the reenactor to be in / top flight / physical shape so the impression (persona) will be correct, dignified."

Forcible relocation of children from Ukraine to Russia and refusal to repatriate them to their parents. The other senior person listed beyond Putin is the Russian Minister of Children’s Rights, who has overseen and defended this practice.
