No one said anything about Ukrainian women and children spontaneously or voluntarily choosing to stand in front of Russian troops or being used as human shields except BizPac Review and Russia Today.

And Russia Today is funded by the Russian government. You would think that Putin would do something about ensuring that the translations coming out of RT accurately represented what he said.

You’d be surprised... Nah, they usually do a really good job. But like they say, though, one “uh-oh” kills a hundred “attaboys”!

And as I previously stated, too, simultaneous interpretation is extremely difficult. So, add that to Putin’s speaking even faster than normal due to being angry, slurring a word or two, and you end up with “women and children in front of”, instead of “for whom we’ll be standing”... a mistake which does make some sense in Russian, if not in English.

Cheers!
