"Excellent and insightful conversation between journalist Eva Bartlett and Russian military expert, Andrei Martyanov:
Eva writes -
On March 15, I spoke with author and Russian military expert, Andrei Martyanov. His commentary and analysis are based on a deep understanding of Russian military and geopolitical issues. Among many important things discussed were:
-that Ukraine has used prohibited weapons against the people of the Donbass, repeatedly, including White Phosphorous -Ukraine's use of Ukrainian civilians as human shields, a war crime, preventing them from leaving areas of conflict (much as terrorists did Syrian civilians)
-why Russia is conducting the denazification operation -that the hatred of Russians and calls for their murder amongst Ukrainian nationalists is not a new thing, but decades old
-that there will be a Ukrainian war crimes tribunal to hold accountable the criminals who have perpetrated untold and horrific war crimes
-Ukraine's biological weapons
-the blatant propaganda and lies in the media war against Russia, much like the manifold lies we saw around Syria
Please do listen to the entire discussion, and consider supporting Andrei's work."
