War crimes in Ukraine

"Ukraine says more than 30 people are dead and 100 wounded after rockets hit a train station in the city of Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine. Thousands of people were at the station at the time as they try to flee Russian attacks, according to the Donetsk regional governor"

Maizie I think you must be a fan of Jane Austen.

I’m just pleased that very little of our gas comes from Russia.
Anyone know how much of our oil comes from Russia?

The BBC reporter in Moscow says that Putin seems to be enjoying his isolated state telling his people that it is proof that the evil west are trying undermine Russia for their own ends. He still insists that he is trying to liberate Ukraine from the Nazis and they are the ones killing their own people.
I don't think he will ever be brought to trial. They would have to find him first.
It is all very depressing.

Sadly I have to agree with you AGAA4.

Mr Duck Duck Go knows...

According to a UKgov press release:

Russian imports account for 8% of total UK oil demand, but the UK is also a significant producer of both crude oil and petroleum products, in addition to imports from a diverse range of reliable suppliers beyond Russia including the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and USA.

There are different grades of oil and I saw this on a government website (as is your excerpt MaizieD too)

4. Russian oil imports as a percentage of total demand (DUKES 2020):

Petrol, 0%
Jet fuel, 5%
Heating oil, 0%
Diesel, 18%
Gas oil (such as red diesel), 1%
Fuel oil, 0%
All oil imports, 8%

So, according to that, no petrol or heating oil comes from Russia.

Just read this & thought I’d share it:

“Russian troops’ widespread looting of residences in Ukrainian cities is well documented, and lately, reports have been growing of Russian forces stealing farm equipment, grain, and even building materials. Then came the huge theft of a lot of very valuable agricultural equipment – at least $5 million worth – from a John Deere dealership in Melitopol, which Russian troops have occupied since March.
The thieves then sent all that valuable equipment – the giant combine harvesters alone are worth $300,000 each – via Russian military transport to Chechnya, over 700 miles away. The audacity of that thievery suggests the criminal operations are becoming increasingly organized.
And that would be the end of the story – if the Ukrainians hadn't pulled off a much deserved Gotcha. Because once the equipment arrived in Chechnya, none of it could be used, as it had all been locked remotely. “ (CNN)
