- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The whole bit about the perpetrators fleeing to the Ukrainian border I actually kinda believe.
Not because ukraine was involved but its got to be the only border anyone can get through at the moment within easy distance from moscow.
Everyone else has shut their borders
Edit: yes I know its a war zone yes I know its monitored. I also believe that you can never fully secure a land border there will always be holes AND the scum who shoot up a concert hall are not exactly at the top of the IQ range when it comes to escape plans.
Nah, I don't buy this story at all. Their car had Belarussian plates and that border is much closer and still open. I'd even argue that the UKR/RUS border is the worst place to cross with checkpoints, mines and drones everywhere. They would've been safer hiding out in a random village somewhere.
Fleeing to Belarus might as well mean staying in Russia
Of course we will never know the truth I'm sure they will have unhappy accidents next to windows
Assuming they (ISIS) have active members on the other side, and a corridor established, fleeing into Ukraine would be probably significantly safer - assuming Russian and Ukrainian internal security services aren't sharing intelligence and otherwise cooperating while they're engaged in a hot conflict.
Don't be that dumb.
You can't cross a warzone, especially as a third party. If the Russians won't shoot them (they would) the Ukrainians would.
It has shit to do with Ukraine, it's just the typical Russia cop out, same mo as trump, just lie straight against all evidence. Repeat it enough and as long as your own base believes it, nothing else matters
Do you realize how vast that geography is, and that civilians travel through it daily?
Also, they had just gunned down hundreds of civilians, their motivation to leave Russian controlled territory, including Belaruse, was probably pretty high on their hierarchy of needs. Escaping into a country that Russia is at war with, seems like a safer option that sticking around anywhere with an FSB or ICRF field office.
I said nothing about Ukrainian involvement, or complicity, as I haven't seen any evidence to support that, nor do I believe they would be.
So, take your own advice and don't be that dumb.
Crossing a warzone with both sides being trigger happy, covering the whole region with trenches, checkpoints, mines, drones and other troops. Yeah, totally logical choice.
It's the world's most observed and mined border. The last place anyone on the run would go
Small areas of russian land near the border is not controlled by russian army since March 12.
Eeehh, you do understand that the border with Ukraine is a warzone wasteland where they'd first have to pass the actual russian army?
It makes the least sense of all
Why people trust Russia to even have captured the attackers? They probably just stopped someone driving towards Ukraine and "these are the guys, pack them up"
