“There will be no more mercy.”

“No one deserves pity. Spare me your whining.”

Those are captions to videos of Russian drone operators attacking civilians in Kherson city and region.

Living in Kherson means risking execution from the sky.

Russian Drones Turn the Streets of Kherson Into a Civilian Kill Zone

The attacks on Kherson are part of Russia’s growing strategy to terrorize civilians in an effort to sap Ukrainians’ strength to resist in the fourth year of war.

Separately from Syria, Corbyn blamed NATO for both of Russia’s invasions of Ukraine, oppose arming Ukraine, and publicly doubted the Kremlin’s Salisbury poisonings, the last of which irrevocably destroyed his opinion ratings with the British electorate.

In 2013, following the Assad regime’s chemical weapons attack on eastern Ghouta, which killed an estimated 1500 civilians, Corbyn invited notorious Assad regime operative Mother Agnes to parliament for talks.

Agnes was the leading regime propagandist calling the attack a “hoax”.

In 2019 it was also leaked to me that Milne & Corbyn were intending to end British government support for the Syrian first responder organisation the White Helmets, who rose to prominence filming their rescues following Russian bombardment.

“A tweet was drafted for Jeremy in light of the recent Russian bombing of hospitals in Idlib. The tweet condemned Syrian and US bombings in Syria.”

In 2018 I reported that Seumas Milne had told a group of people at an event in London that he supported Russia’s military intervention, which he claimed had “stabilised” the situation in Syria.
www.newstatesman.com/politics/201...

If Jeremy Corbyn opposes intervention in Syria, he should have more to say about Russia

The Labour leader’s quest for peace looks like something else: a willingness to repeat Russian propaganda.
