    Killing ~300 women, children, and elderly sheltering in that theatre is not really going to get Ukrainians on-side about demilitarization.

      Yeah, I fully expect Ukraine to rebuild its military defenses ASAP with aid from the west. Good preparedness by Ukraine and an unexpectedly bad showing from Russia were two vital factors in Ukraine punching way above its weight.

      Is there any single picture or video of these alleged dead people? Otherwise its impossible to believe, because Ukraine propaganda pumps out so many lies every day.

      Sounded like Ukrainian nazis herded them in there like livestock for slaughter. Manufacturering atrocities fits their bill. Highly doubt russian forces had anything to do with that.

        I hope you got paid for that post… because suggesting some soldiers would round up a large number of civilians, some of them children, from their own country and murder them - to tarnish the image of the invaders (who are already doing quite a good job of making themselves look like the bad-guys) is some stone cold delirium.

          We arent talking about some soldiers here, but about hardcore nazis from azov battalion. They have an extreme hatred for all “moscuvites” (slur for russians), and for “collaborators”. They murdered lots of civilians simply for trying to flee from Mariupol.

            The nazi card is played far, far too much by people who support the invasion. They exist in Azov for sure and in small numbers in other places, but mostly, I think its just the monster the invaders need to believe in to sleep at night.
