If you had bothered to read the article before you posted it, you would have found that the Ukrainian Army was in fact shelling Ukrainian women and children (its own people) a week before Russia became involved. The article’s author asks rhetorically if the Ukrainian Army’s actions could be considered an “act of war” and concludes “it is”. So Russia’s response was a humanitarian one, attempting to stop Ukraine’s military from attacking its own people. Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s military was NOT unprovoked, contrary to the allegations made against it by the U.S. government.
And what is the condition of the women and children now ?
