BND Intercepts Radio Traffic Discussing the Murder of Civilians

Where do you possibly get that idea? Do you not know that Bucha is part of the region north of Kyiv?

Even if you wanted to quibble over the meaning of words, the article is very clear about it:

> radio traffic from Russian military personnel in the region north of Kyiv, where Bucha is located

Please be very careful with the trolling. In a past life I had contact with teams returning from Kossovo having handled mass graves there, identifying corpses, getting information to investigators, these ones then talking with families, piecing through what exactly happened. Some of the affected persons, still alive 30 years on, with only the memory of their raped 10 years old daughter, are at it and anyone associated with the deeds, even if the perpetrators have long ago been peeled, are still after associates, even if only just in propaganda associates.

> Am guessing they'd rather be with Russia, than the "countrymen" that have been shooting them, and bombing them.

I'm pretty sure most of them would prefer to be in Ukraine now. The Russians have been pressing men 18-64 into military service with shitty equipment, to serve as cannon fodder. The Russian's have done more to solidify Ukrainian national identity by invading their country than anything the Ukrainians could've done on their own.

> This war simmered, starting with 50 years of broken promises about the Eastern border of NATO.

The mythical promises (which, even if the stories about them were completely true, were neither made to Russia nor made in a form that any future government beyond the one they were made to had any reasonable basis to rely on nor made in a form that could be reasonably held against any future leadership beyond the actual individuals that made them) happened in 1989-1990. So, even ignoring that the only entity that could arguably rely on them was gone within two years and the only people they could be held against were out of power within three, it's not possible for there to have been 50 years of them. Also, Russia was actively seeking eastward expansion of NATO (specifically, to include Russia) starting before celebrations of its declaration of independence from and leading role in destroying the USSR had quieted down in 1991, and for nearly a decade afterward.

> The Eastern Ukrainians, aka, The LPR and DPR, have been shelled by the Western Ukrainians for the last 6 years or so

That's not accurate.

The Russia puppet pseudo-states, created through force of Russian sponsored Nazi mercenaries like Wagner and Nazi militias like Sparta (which individually is much larger than Azov that Russia likes to talk about so much, which was part of the response against their Russia-instigated aggression), have held, since 2014, a small fraction of their claimed territory in Eastern Ukraine and been shelling Eastern Ukrainians outside of the territory they hold and abusing those opposed to Russian aggression within it for the last six years. That's expanded, as well as the scale of abuse, with Russia’s open direct invasion recently.
