BUCHA, UkraineIhor Yuschenko, 61, a former colonel in the Ukrainian Armed Forces who once served as the deputy chief of staff of ground forces in the Donbas in eastern Ukraine, watched in horror as a war crime took place right outside his window in broad daylight.
According to Yuschenko, a column of Russian troops advancing through the town stopped and opened fire on his street in central Bucha on Feb. 27, killing two pedestrians. This column had included Chechen fighters known as Kadyrovtsy, members of various military groupings who are loyal to Chechnyas local strongman, Ramzan Kadyrov, known as Putins soldier. Yuschenko said he was able to identify them by their black garb, their use of Islamic slogans, and Kadyrovs name on their body armor.
About an hour later, their column was decimated by the Ukrainian army in a different part of townbut the Kadyrovtsy returned.Many Chechen soldiers penetrated this street to kill Ukrainian civilian people, Yuschenko told The Daily Beast.
He described how Chechen fighters, also dressed in black, shot up a car that had been driving down the street with at least thirty bullets, according to Yuschenko, killing its occupants and causing it to come to a stop on the side of the road next to the apartment building he was staying in. The Kadyrovtsy then allegedly dragged the two dead people whom they had shot out of the car, left them by the side of the road, and drove off in the car themselves.

There were no Russian medics or field hospitals. So they just shot the wounded.

If propaganda, good. Putin still looks like the thug he is. Time to treat him like the master crime head he is.
Somewhere, in the Marvel Universe, is there not a Putin against the World Series being made?????
