There has been some degree of barbarism spreading over ukrainian cities/towns. There are dozens of videos showing civilians being publicly punished and humiliated by an assortment of soldiers, police, para-militaries, civilian mobs, and whatnot. Children and women are also being mistreated like this. The reasons are simply unknown but there are many accusations and speculations: alleged theft or desertion, lurking outside in curfew, being pro-russian, a separatist, speaking russian in public, etc. These public humiliation displays are apparently not a new development: there are similar videos from previous years. People have pointed out that the same kind of public punishments (tying people up on lamp posts, beating them, humiliating them, leaving them out in the cold) have been carried out before around the time of WW2 (there are some pics)
On the MSM this is mostly ignored. The pro-ukr mouthpieces that do comment on it are simply taking the words of the accusers at face value ("they must be looters, the punishment is deserved"). I showed some of these videos to some pro-ukr NPCs around me (people who support ukr because "it's the current right thing to do", not because they have any personally-developed conviction or knowledge of the conflict) and they were quite disgusted, though.
More recently, I have seen video of what appear to be ukr troops deliberately maiming what appear to be rus/lndr prisoners (shooting them on the legs). There's also video of a ukr soldier calling the mother of a fallen rus soldier to mock her. The brutality of the Donbas civil war is still around

>I don't see why Rus/Belorus would do this
Actually, one plausible theory is that the thing may work as a decoy to smoke out air defenses

Hm. Yeah, maybe. Maybe Milanovic just wasn't informed and he projected his ignorance on NATO. Who knows.

>But it doesn't show the missile impact
I read some people saying it could have been a barrage of MLRS rather than a missile. It could explain the widespread fire
>They have crossed the Rubicon and I don't think that they will accept anything other than total victory.
Officially, the goals of the "victory" have been the same from the start: LNDR independence, recognition of Crimea, neutrality, "demilitarisation", and "denazifiation". What the first 3 mean seems pretty clear. The meaning of the last 2 is less clear. Unofficially, though, there have been some vague pronouncements that suggest that rus could go further than that ("if they continue in this path they put into question the continuation of ukr statehood"). You seem to be taking the latter as the real meaning of "victory" while I thought that was just a negotiating position or a threat.
