Russian forces rained airstrikes on the last bastion of Ukrainian resistance in the shattered port city of Mariupol on Saturday — as defenders inside the Azovstal steel plant released a heartbreaking video of the women and children they say they are protecting.

“We haven’t seen the sky or the sun” since Feb. 27, says one little girl in the video, the BBC reported — cautioning that her account, and the video itself, could not be verified.

Soldiers from the Azov Regiment– the controversial right-wing militia group that has joined Ukrainian military units to make a stand in the ruined factory — offer fist-bumps as the children gather to greet them.

“Human shields?”

Obviously - and without the Western Media supporting this atrocity by the Ukrainians, it wouldn’t be happening.

Yep, the left loves to call Nazis “right wing”, when in fact they are left wing socialists. Nazi is short for National Socialist Workers Party.

LOL … If they were REALLY interested in protecting those women and children they’d put up some white flags and let those women and children to leave to where they’d be ACTUALLY SAFE and well cared for. Let the fighters stay and go back into their tunnels.

It’s definitely an atrocity by the Russians.

It’s not their land.

Holding children hostage to use as human shields, is there any level Azov won’t sink to?

“It’s definitely an atrocity by the Russians. It’s not their land.”

Seems to me that decision will soon be up to Russia. Ukraine had the chance to treat their people in the East humanely, and they did for 24 years...but I guess they changed their minds. Too bad for them.

Yeah, they should let Putin take over Ukraine and nobody would have died.

Lessons learned for when China comes for Taiwan. Nobody needs to die there either.

Right...poor little Putin was just innocently sitting on the border with his military having a picnic when those mean old Ukrainians forced him to invade, flatten cities, kill women and children.

Please, do you guys really think you are fooling anybody.

Just the other day Putin said he wasn’t going to do this. What a lying Russian bastard. But that is redundant.

Soldiers giving fist-bumps to children in a combat zone?

Why don’t they send the kids out?
