https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/rus...FmG4DxiaGkQmJJBERLIN--Germany and France said they were expelling dozens of Russian diplomats on Monday in response to Moscow's alleged war crimes against civilians in Ukraine.
The images of dead bodies on the streets of Bucha, near Kyiv, bore witness to the brutality of Russia's leadership and those who follow their propaganda, Germany’s foreign minister Annalena Baerbock said as she announced her country's decision to expel 40 Russians.
“We will counter this inhumanity with the force of our freedom and our humanity,” Ms. Baerbock said.
The diplomats, who must leave Germany within five days, had worked to undermine the freedom and unity of German society, she said.

New York Times' analysis of satellite images pokes holes in Russia's denials about civilian bodies found in Bucha
A New York Times analysis debunks recent Russian denials of civilian deaths in the town of Bucha.
Satellite imagery reveals that many of the bodies have been in the streets for weeks.
Russian forces occupied Bucha and much of the surrounding region for weeks following the invasion.
Satellite images out of the Ukrainian town of Bucha corroborate recent reports of civilian deaths in the Kyiv-Oblast suburb, while simultaneously refuting Russia's denials about the civilian bodies found, according to a New York Times visual analysis.
Gruesome images and videos of dead bodies lying in the streets of Bucha emerged on social media over the weekend, prompting international outcry and condemnation.
Russia's Ministry of Defense denied responsibility for the casualties in a Sunday Telegram post, accusing Ukraine of staging the footage and calling the scene a "hoax." The Russian Ministry even suggested that Ukraine had placed the bodies in the street sometime after March 30, after "all Russian units withdrew completely from Bucha."
Satellite images from Maxar Technology reviewed by The Times (and also sent to Insider), however, show that some of the bodies have been lying in the streets for more than three weeks, during a time when Russian troops occupied the town.
The outlet conducted a before-and-after analysis of the satellite imagery, which shows the dark objects appearing along a half-mile section of Yablonska Street between March 9 and March 11. The objects are in identical positions to the bodies recorded in a graphic video filmed by a local council member in early April, after Ukrainian forces retook Bucha, according to the report.
A separate video reviewed by The Times shows three more bodies on a different section of Yablonska Street next to abandoned vehicles. Satellite photos show that the abandoned car and body appear sometime between March 20 and 21, the outlet reported.
More recent Maxar satellite images, taken Thursday, appear to show a partially excavated mass grave outside a church in Bucha. The photos show a 45-foot long trench where social media video appeared to show officials placing the bodies of Ukrainian civilians.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Bucha on Monday after accusing Russian forces of killing 300 civilians in the town over the weekend.
Bucha, which is home to more than 28,000 people, was the site of some of the heaviest fighting immediately following the Russian invasion on February 24. The surrounding region spent weeks under Russian military control, but Ukrainian officials said the country had regained control of the "whole Kyiv region" over the weekend.
Lowlife Nazi bastards...

War criminals in Russia are being investigated now by the ICC and other organisations. The UN Human Rights Council will soon expel Russia from membership. These atrocities are utterly disgraceful and more must be done to support Ukraine and to punish Russia.
What good are ICC investigations and charges going to do? They'd only be impactful if the West invaded Russia, toppled the government, and occupied it for a while, which quite obviously nobody has any interest in doing.
I know Russians love to think NATO wants to invade them, but that's just stupid. If NATO actually wanted to invade Russia, then what are they waiting for? Pretty opportune time at the moment, as Russia has given them all the justification they could possibly need.
NATO has no desire in invading Russia. Never has, never will.
Oh good, now the US, UK and Australia have entered into an agreement to develop hyper sonic missiles.
Just what we need, a new arms race. Apparently, just killing people isn't enough, we have to be able to do it at hyper sonic speed now.

Ukrainian MP tweets image with claims that Russian soldiers carved a swastika onto a woman they raped and killed

Lesia Vasylenko
Ukrainian politician (1987–)
Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko said Russian soldiers raped, tortured, and killed a woman.
She shared an image on Twitter of what appeared to be a swastika carved crudely onto someone's skin.
Reports of war crimes like mass killings and rapes have emerged from Ukraine in recent weeks.
A Ukrainian MP said this week that Russian troops carved a swastika onto a woman they tortured, raped, and killed.
MP Lesia Vasylenko tweeted a graphic image on Monday of what appeared to be an exposed torso featuring a large swastika that appeared to be carved into burned skin.
"Tortured body of a raped and killed woman. I'm speechless. My@mind is paralyzed with anger and fear and hatred. #StopGenocide #StopPutinNOW," Vasylenko wrote in the post.
In a separate tweet on April 5, Vasylenko claimed that the Ukrainian government had found records of 5,000 war crimes committed by Russia.
Insider was unable to independently verify Vasylenko's claims.
However, footage posted on YouTube by independent journalist Patrick Lancaster from a school basement in Mariupol appears to show the same body lying on the ground. Lancaster's video has since been removed but appears to still be circulating on Twitter.
Images of mass graves have emerged from Bucha following reports of a massacre in the city. These reports of Russian atrocities have prompted Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accuse Russia of "genocide."
President Joe Biden has also called for Putin to be put on trial as a war criminal.
