Deport Georgii Zuev

Continuing the tactics of targeting civilians perfected in Grozny, Aleppo and Mariupol.
In the last two days the Russian Federation bombed an apartment building in the Capital Kyiv on Sunday, and a crowded shopping mall in the city Kremenchuk on Monday.

The attack on the apartment block wounded one child and killed her father. The bombing of the crowded shopping mall killed 13 shoppers.
We need to send a strong message to Russia expressing our disgust, and condemning this behaviour.
The New Zealand government needs to listen to the New Zealand Ukrainian expat. community, and expel the Russian ambassador.
This is the very least we can do to show our disgust – our trade links with Russia are slight, the most immediate thing we can do to put maximum pressure on, and embarrass the Russian Federation, is send their ambassador and his staff packing.
…….The Russian embassy in New Zealand is using social media posts to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, reigniting a call for Russia’s ambassador to be expelled….. …..A Facebook post by the embassy on March 10 claims a Russian strike on a maternity and children’s hospital in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol was evacuated and being used by Ukrainian forces as a firing site….

New Zealand Ukrainian Anton Ognyev said the Russian embassy’s propaganda was dangerous and had the potential to make Russians in New Zealand turn on Ukrainians in New Zealand.
He could not understand how an embassy in the middle of Wellington was able to get away with posting propaganda.
“They just keep doing it like they are in the middle of Moscow.”

Roman Kashpir, on behalf of Friends of Ukraine, has set up a petition calling for the ambassador to be expelled and for diplomatic relations with Russia to be severed. It had 413 signatures as of Thursday.

….The Amstor mall was crowded with shoppers on Monday afternoon when at least one missile struck it, according to Ukrainian officials. The Ukrainian Air Force Command said the mall had been hit by at least one Kh-22 missile fired by Tu-22 M3 long-range bombers operating in Russia’s Kursk region, near the border with Russia. Kremenchuk, a city of more than 200,000 before the invasion, is a large industrial center for the region.

….Ukrainian rescue services pulled a 7-year-old girl from the partly-destroyed building. Her father was reported to have been killed and her mother injured.

….Touring the site of the missile strike on Sunday, Vitali Klitschko, Kyiv’s mayor, accused Vladimir Putin of committing genocide.

  1. Where is NATO based ??? ,,,, we should deport Pat to his homeland there.

    As for the ‘shopping center’ ,,, ,,,,
    What REALLY Happened At Kremenchuk? https://youtu.be/zbeVuI0M_XE?t=24 where are the shoppers cars ?? where are the women and children ?? 6mins 10 secs .

    apparently there has not been any ‘shopping’ taking place at that location for a while now ,,,, Shoppers reviews stopped months ago ,,, 9 mins 10 secs .

    Pat may just have to content himself with scantly investigated fire bomb attacks on the Russian embassy in Wellington.

  2. Don’t be a sucker for the man mainlining bs! Once you get hooked on their propaganda you’re fuck’d.

    Donna’s has sustained the same attacks if not worse for the 8 years preceding the intervention by Russia to engage the US in their proxy war with Russia on canon fodder territory in the Nazi regions of the Ukraine.

    The so called lefties who back the US and forget who the real war monger is, is a fucking disgrace!

    • “Russia does not target civilians in Ukraine and did not strike the shopping center in Kremenchug, Moscow’s envoy to the UN told the Security Council on Tuesday. Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy said that the mall caught fire due to an explosion of Western-supplied weapons and ammunition, stored at the nearby factory and intended for the shelling of civilians in Donbass, making it a legitimate military target.

      “In reality, there was no strike on the mall,” Polyanskiy told the council, as Russia targeted a storage facility at the Kredmash factory next door. The weapons and ammunition stored there were bound for the front, where Ukrainian artillery was bombarding the civilians of Donbass as it had for years, to no objection from the UN, he added. “The Russian strike stopped that.”

      Polyanskiy pointed out that Ukrainian media clearly showed images of intact merchandise inside the ‘Amstor’ shopping center, and windows of nearby residential buildings that had not shattered. The fire was caused by explosions of the Western-supplied ammunition at Kredmash, he said.”

      So a bit of balance is needed. Russia fronted in the UN today and made a statement. Did anybody bother to report on it? I don’t think so.

  3. if he’s here in NZ he personally has not done anything,
    and if we deport people for spouting their respective govt lines…half the foreign economists and ‘experts’ would be on a slow boat home.

  4. Will the anti Russia fuckwits ever wake up? This Pat O’Dea is a curious creature. Activism should be underpinned by truth.
