“… defenders inside the Azovstal steel plant released a heartbreaking video of the women and children they say they are protecting.…”

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.

Yeah, like the Russians would honor a white flag.

They are savages. They deserve to burn in their tanks.

“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.”

That was proposed to the Russians; i.e., give safe passage to the non-combatants to leave. Russia refused, and said the Ukrainians had to lay down their arms and surrender first. Yeah, right. I’m sure the story of Cawnpore, 1857 is known to at least some of the Ukrainians.
