A pregnant woman and her baby have died after Russia bombed the maternity hospital where she was meant to give birth, The Associated Press has learned. Images of the woman being rushed to an ambulance on a stretcher had circled the world, epitomizing the horror of an attack on humanity’s most innocent.
The woman was rushed to another hospital, yet closer to the frontline, where doctors labored to keep her alive. Realizing she was losing her baby, medics said, she cried out to them, “Kill me now!”
Surgeon Timur Marin found the woman’s pelvis crushed and hip detached. Medics delivered the baby via cesarean section, but it showed “no signs of life,” the surgeon said.
Then, they focused on the mother.
“More than 30 minutes of resuscitation of the mother didn’t produce results,” Marin said Saturday.

Carrying water for AP and the globalists.
does not follow from this that you have the right to dismiss all evidence which debunks your fantasies. Not trusting the media is one thing. Nutbaggery is another.
How do you tell the difference?
This is a densely populated urban area where Ukies were staging a defense. Last time I looked it is difficult to set up a mortar or rifle unit in densely populated urban area where civilians are not within geographic proximity. We ran into that issue many times in Iraq with photos of civilians being killed by not so smart weaponry. If the Ukies set up a mortar unit or rifle unit near the hospital directed at Russian forces and the Russians try to take it out, sometimes this is the result, in which case, it is not a war crime. The question is was Ukie firepower coming from in or near the hospital.
Again, they have proven several times their videos are hoaxes. Next there many personal stories of the Ukrainian military shooting and shelling ‘Russian’s - their homes, bldgs etc. there’s a lot of evil to go around.
We don’t know what truly happened. That includes you.
Same reason why Russians leveled entire cities in Chechnya killing something like 150-250,000 men, women and children in recent memory in the second Chechen war. Or why they took men out into fields and gang raped them in front of the women in Chechnya. Or same reason why Russian “liberators” in WW2 raped every woman and child they got their hands on, even impaling the children through their genitals with bayonets after the deed was done. Or same reason why Russian soldiers rape each other even today, and why officers pimp out young soldiers for forced homosexual prostitution, to such an extreme extent that there are large numbers of suicides every year.
Because this is a brutal, inhuman army of Orcs and Goblins even worse than the Orc army we saw in LOTR. Fortunately, they also appear to be far less effective than that Orc army as well.
You don't really have any right to say that where the Russian lies have been debunked. Read the article I posted.
Now here’s a real war crime that no one was ever held accountable for

You know what baffles me - distrusting Western mainstream media while trusting Putin’s propaganda while distrusting the thousands of people (Russian as well as Ukrainian) capturing events live on their smartphones while trusting commentators thousands of miles away from the hot zone who have nothing, while distrusting the International Red Cross who SIX TIMES NOW have sponsored safe corridors out of Mariopol only to see the Russians shell the escape routes.
The only things some folks are missing off the bingo card marked Kremlin Shill is a “Fake News!” holler at the live streamed footage of TV crews from across the international community being shot at while filming despite being obviously non combatant... “But that Sergei dude, the Russian ambassador, who’s nowhere near the combat zone, just ain’t lying at all. Why would he lie?”
Orwell must be facepalming in his grave.
Still shilling for the Ukrainian Nazis? They tried to organize a rally against the draft in Donetsk through online trolls today, then fired a Scud into the location where the rally was supposed to take place. How evil is it?
Leveling Hiroshima and Nagasaki is still pretty fresh. Dropping more bomb tonnsge on Laos and Vietnam than in all of ww2 and destroying vast swathes of land cover with one of the most toxic chemicals known to man is still fresh too. And how about incinerating women and children in a command and control centre in Iraq without intelligence of who was actually in it. Dresden. Cologne. Want some more examples of western barbarism. Russians are no more twisted than the twisted fuks who lie to us day in and day out and want to play out their wargame fantasies
From your link:
“Welcome to the “War on Fakes” project. We are the owners and administrators of several Russian non-political telegram channels.
We don’t do politics. But we consider it important to provide unbiased information about what is happening in Ukraine and on the territories of Donbass, because we see signs of an information war launched against Russia.
Our mission is to make sure that there are only objective publications in the information space.
We do not want ordinary people to feel anxious and panicked because of information wars.
We are going to look into every fake and give links to the real refutations. Be safe, be at peace, be with us.”
Yet they don’t provide any resources to back up their claim of “fake”.
Russia bombed 270 hospitals and medical facilities in Syria some with foreign aid medical people.
This is SOP for communicating to civilians, there isn’t anything they won’t do.
There is actually a lot more -
This reminds me that the Soviets were always using whataboutism to justify their most abhorrent crimes. "Why did we commit deliberate mass murder and rape at that gulag? Well, Americans used nukes!"
It is such a low level of propaganda.
Step by step.
1. The Kremlin official line in February was that they were going in to defend the Russian people in Mariopol who were being oppressed by the Azov. Implication being, “save the citizens”.
2. The only army FLATTENING that city and starving out the civilians, is the Russian one. They are killing their own people.
3. Putin wants a coastal corridor bridging all Russian occupied areas.
4. Mariopol is in the way.
That’s all there is to it.
Saving its people is not the mission, and never was.
Putin would rather have a big crater under Russian control, with a tank convoy able to pass through it totally unhindered, than have a functioning city with traffic lights and protesting pedestrians.
He doesn’t have an atom of compassion. If he did he wouldn’t have ordered his troops SIX TIMES to bomb the humanitarian corridors.
It really is that simple.
A “maternity hospital” gets blown up, and only one mother dies?
Marc Steiner: I want to also talk a bit more about the role of the war profiteers in all of this because that really does get lost in many discussions.
Marc Steiner: Especially in the mainstream media. Just before you came on I started reading the lyrics of Masters of War by Bob Dylan and how it fits into this description of the world that we’re facing at the moment. And you list a number of things in this article and companies that are making profits off what’s happening at this very moment, will make huge profits if it continues. So that’s a fact we don’t often put into, at least in the establishment world, they don’t put that into the analysis of why in the situation we’re in.

” Why should I believe Russia bombed a maternity hospital?. First, why would they? There is Absolutely nothing beneficial the Russians obtain by doing so. “
Let’s put this particular story aside and just answer your question of “why would they?”....and the answer is > Terrorism. That’s why schools and hospitals are bombed.
Here’s the definition of terrorism: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Should the image make us want a negotiated peace, or more war-at-all-costs to defeat Putin?
So you believe in our media now..last month you didnt.
