The Guardian: EU allies expel 200 Russian diplomats in two days after Bucha killings  

More than 325 diplomats and embassy workers now expelled since Moscow invaded Ukraine 

Almost two hundred Russian diplomatic staff have been expelled from European countries this week in a direct expression of governments’ outrage at the killings of Ukrainian civilians revealed as Moscow’s military forces left. 

In what amounts to one of the biggest diplomatic breakdowns of recent years, 206 Russian diplomats and embassy staff have been told since Monday they are no longer welcome to stay by governments in Italy, France, Germany and elsewhere, in addition to more than 100 reported to have already been thrown out since the beginning of Russia’s latest invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.

It brings the total of expelled Russian diplomats and embassy workers to more than 325, with more expected to follow.

Creating noise to drown out the fact that the evidence heavily implicates Ukrainian nationalists committed this specific mass shooting during their April 2nd operation to clear Bucha of "saboteurs and accomplices of Russian forces".

Have no idea through the fog of war but the narrative beaten down on us doesn’t pass the pub test. Ie the fact that these nazi azov exist needs to be clarified of course this won’t happen and my taxes then support some ideology I detest. No b poster you squirming blind piece of shit I don’t support your side either
