Frankly, Ukraine is now a CIA and Mossad training ground for terrorism against Russia and needs to be cleaned out. Hopefully, the DPR nationalists will resume the war of national liberation and end the Uki hohol Zionist Nazism, once and for all.
Moderate rapist cannibal headchopping ukropnazis…
Time to take Kiev…
I love chicken Kiev :)
Its delicioso ?
When you are too weak to kill you enemy on a real battle, even Givi was murdered in a similar way.
This is the way he dealt with those Nazi scumbags whocame to his City to kill and murder,its the only language Nazis understand,he wasn’t killed inCombat like a man,he was murdered in the dark by rats. https://youtu.be/H2NeXrUgfco?t=35
If my memory serves me, this was second captive (surrender) for ukrop colonel.
I suspected him of being Azov or one of the other Nazi gangs.
RIP Givi, your cause will be avenged
Not a very well-executed assassination, typical incompetence from the Kiev junta. I hope him and his daughter make a full recovery… and that they check underneath their car from now on.
Western experts said post-Maidan Ukraine would be an “example” for Russia – but it has become a warning, and what fuck a warning.
What Russian occupation forces?thats stupid reporting,also did they ever get the other bastards who killed Givi,Motorola,and Zackarchenko?all cowardly terror attacks,i think carried out by foreign special forces or Ukrainians trained by them,the DPR should have gone after the Kiev SBU bastards in the same way.
“What Russian occupation forces?”exactly as stated by SF. Let me ask SF if Mikhail Tolstykh – Givi (Somali battalion)was Russian? How many Ukrainians are fighting for DNR & LNR? Whoever wrote this article has ZERO knowledge of civil war in Ukraina.
It’s obvious the new world order of skulls n bones fascist panzis reject we to live in freedom, Fake independance,fake news media and rada politico fkfest like cut tongues who speak russian is a blatant utterly human reights voilations so to speak,as are they responsable who don’t have the guts to admit anything,but surely will answer for along with they whom schemed the teorrist act,one way or another,remmember time is like the daughter of living,then see who backs off in good time! Stay safe,eyes aware:
Those are terrorist tactics, a little bit more sophisticated but clearly it looks like the nazis in kiev are being trained by the CIA.
Also, who wrote this shit “russian occupation forces” WTF are you even talking about? SF are you a sophisticated tool of the U.S gestapo to spread misinformation?
Who wrote this propaganda trash, what’s next? saying that the ukrops are legitimate to murder civilians and committing warcrimes? pushing the bullshit narrative of there’s russians under our beds…
i wonder what % of ukies really believe they are fighting Russian armed forces, how delusional they are. did they not hear that the polocs lost their capital within 5days after their pre-preemptive attack on Kal while also using weapons they not not even yet have. i would assume that Rus would take the ukies within 3 days to the Dnieper, which i believe is the plan if ukies start a war
And with that, Ukraine can forget about ever getting the DPR back. It’s gone forever, like Crimea.
