US Intelligence sent a letter warning the UN that Putin has created a ‘kill list’ identifying specific targets to be eliminated. According to reports, they’re just waiting on a full military occupation of Ukraine to implement Putin’s murder list:
The letter was sent from Ambassador Bathsheba Nell Crocker, the U.S. Representative to the Office of the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva, to Michelle Bachelet, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights:
“We are deeply concerned about Russia’s continuing human rights abuses in the parts of Ukraine it already occupies and have every reason to believe those concerns will multiply following a new military offensive,” wrote Crocker. “I would like to bring to your attention disturbing information recently obtained by the United States that indicates that human rights violations and abuses in the aftermath of a further invasion are being planned.”
“These acts, which in past Russian operations have included targeted killings, kidnappings/forced disappearances, unjust detentions, and the use of torture, would likely target those who oppose Russian actions, including Russian and Belarusian dissidents in exile in Ukraine, journalists, and anti-corruption activists, and vulnerable populations such as religious and ethnic minorities and LGBTQI+ persons,” the letter says, according to the Washington Post.
“Specifically, we have credible information that indicates Russian forces are creating lists of identified Ukrainians to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation. We also have credible information that Russian forces will likely use lethal measures to disperse peaceful protests or otherwise counter peaceful exercises of perceived resistance from civilian populations,” the letter added.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Biden’s sanctions have proven to be powerless against Putin. He hasn’t proven to be much on ‘rallying the troops’ in terms of unifying the NATO allies. Prime Minister of Italy, said on Friday that if the EU had to impose economic sanctions, he hoped it would not include the energy sector. That’s a huge hole in NATO unity.
