Ukrainian activist, volunteer Sternenko injured in attack, suspect detained

4th time he's escaped death

Whether he is a legitimate military target is disputable, because the whole war russia started is illegitimate. Although granted, at least he isn't a medic or a child.

Yeah only sources i can find reporting on this right now are ukraine ones so their description of him will be fairly warm.

Still they're not wrong. he is a volunteer, and he is an activist. Whether putting drones in the hands of the AFU makes him a legitimate target or not is largely moot. It's a good thing he survived, and it's a good thing a traitor failed and will rot in prison

“Activist/volunteer” makes it sound like he’s distributing medicine or rescuing pets.

Not really. I thought it meant he was just vocal in his opposition to the invasion.

Are you saying there is a piece of context missing that makes this all seem alright that I am withholding deliberately? Firstly, this kind of bad faith assumption is incredibly rude and secondly, why dont you provide it?

Fraction of truth is the best lie, and you seem to have mastered it.

I got a bit mixed up sorry

Theres the case of 2018, where he got accused of murder and during which he testified that he chased and caught the guy he killed in "self-defense", but that didnt end with conviction

Theres the case of 2020 where he got convicted of violent assault, kidnapping and illegal weapons possession, unfortunately couldnt find an english source

And there is a russian BBC article from the same time which goes a bit more into detail about this person

Also if you see his webpage his webicon is I think the trident without the sword in a "Blood and Soil" red/black coloring used by the OUN-B

I have to ask; gullible or nazi? I gotta say I wouldnt voluntarily confess much less this glibly if I got caught out like that

Is he actually a neonazi organizer?

Who was he convicted of murdering?

Yeah, people like this woman show the true face of Russia and pro-Russian people. The important thing is that Sternenko is alive, and the traitor will rot in prison.

Also some traitor will spend the a long time in a Ukrainian prison

Really wish we could bring back cruel and unusual punishments for people like this.

cant believe this needs to be said, but please dont donate to the fund of a neonazi organizer and convicted murderer.

gotta look on the bight side. he's alive, will recover, and it's been a very good day of fundraising for the sternenko fund

Also some traitor will spend the a long time in a Ukrainian prison after having failed in her mission.

Another attempt on Sternenko's life, for the fourth time, I guess?

Crazy video. Man, you can get video of everything today. Glad he's ok, he's a true patriot.

"Activist/volunteer" makes it sound like he's distributing medicine or rescuing pets.

He's building drones to be used as weapons for the Ukrainian military.

To be honest he is a legitimate military target just like a munitions factory on either side. This is actually an improvement over the usual Russian barbarism.

I am glad he is okay and can keep helping the cause but the framing seems almost disingenuous.

Violent neonazi Sternenko? The guy that built up the right sector in Odessa just before the trade union building fire/murders? That Sternenko? Fuck him, hope he dies soon.
