The U.S. has warned the United Nations that it has credible information about the possibility of serious human rights violations should Russia invade Ukraine.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Bathsheba Crocker wrote to Michelle Bachelet, the UN high commissioner for human rights, outlining details of “disturbing information”.

“We are deeply concerned about Russia’s continuing human rights abuses in the parts of Ukraine, it already occupies and have every reason to believe those concerns will multiply following a new military offensive,” Crocker said in the letter.

The letter alleged that Russia is planning targeted killings, kidnappings, unjust detention and the use of torture targeting those who oppose Russian actions, including Russian and Belarusian dissidents in exile in Ukraine.

“Specifically we have credible information that indicates Russian forces are creating lists of identified Ukranians to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation,” she said.

The U.S. also warned it believes Russian forces will use lethal measures to disperse peaceful protests or otherwise counter peaceful exercises of perceived resistance from civilians.

The U.S. did not disclose its sources for the information.

Russia has repeatedly denied plans to invade Ukrainian territory, despite the massing of around 150,000 troops along the country’s borders, according to Western intelligence.

Preparation seems total. However Putin still needs a reason that is believable even to the gullible world. The people of Russia also need to see justification. So far there is none.

A desire to restore the old empire is not a good enough reason to justify the destruction and death that will result. The resentment in Ukraine would be beyond calculation and last for decades. As an example there might be continual assassinations of Russian officials and military officers..
Then reprisals against innocents. The bitterness would overflow into everything and everyone. Sanctions on Russia would go to the moon and near total isolation would result.

So how likely? Although unlikely and irrational I think he will do it. I hope I am wrong...
Let's watch and see..

Nothing will happen at the end

The CIA is more useless than the most useless thing you can think of
They're repeatedly ditching out propaganda with no actual evidence to back anything up. they must think people are as gullible as those myopic US troops that went on to carry out bombings in iraq based on CIA intelligence, but all ended up killing civilians

Of course, that's Russia's MO. Dissidents keep getting poisoned and falling out of Windows.

I mean, a regime that can shoot down a passenger plane carry hundreds of people is capable of doing anything.

When did russia shoot down a civilian plane?
I hope you don't think it was the Russian military that shot down the Malaysian civilian plane in 2014? Because they weren't. The civilian plane was mistakenly shot down by pro Russian separatists in Donbas, Ukraine though with the Russian made BUK SAM.

Meanwhile, the USA military shot down a civilian plane from Iran in the 90s. How do you justify this? Huh... You knucklehead?

You ended up proving that it was still Russians that shot down the plane and had to add US in order to justify the one Russia did.

Okay Mr knucklehead, you've made your point.

and you end up attacking the one did by pro Russia and saying nothing about the one usa did in Iran

Hm

Clowns with their endless propaganda. Luhansk and Donetsk are independent states according to their referendum results, so Russia didn’t err by recognizing their sovereignty.
US should rest!
