#Ukraine People sat in basements for several days, the elderly and pensioners had the hardest time, the Ukrainian authorities did not even try to organize their evacuation, heating and food. At the same time, the liberated areas of #Mariupol are still under regular artillery fire from neo-Nazis from Azov.

Mistakes happen, but what I've gleaned is that the apartment buildings are often used by Ukrainian Military, spotters and ATGM teams. Hell, they've even been parking armour next to civilian occupied bldgs. They want casualties among the human population—why?
Because civilians think like you when they see the news or pictures of bombed buildings are aghast. Of course, they don't think critically and ask, what is the context, and is this context true.
Ask yourself this: Why would the Russian's be bombing the people that they're trying to save and protect? They're (Russians) are trying to stop the wanton artillery shelling of the Donbass and other areas that has been happening for the past 8 years. NATO and the EU didn't do anything when Ukraine ignored the Minsk accords, which they signed and agreed to.
That forced Putin's hand, that and Zelensky saying Ukraine will seek atomic weapons.
He had no choice—No Russian leader would allow NATO at their borders armed with nuclear missiles, FFS.
NATO aren't the good guys here!
Hell NATO which we know is the USA deliberately filled the Ukraine military with the confidence that they could take on the Russian Army, knowing that NATO wouldn't intervene when the shit hit the fan. So, NATO left the Ukrainians high and dry. Just because the goddam NeoCons in Washington wanted it this way. Some of these Christian right-wingers in the USA want to fulfill bible prophecy. AFAIC they're no different from ISIS.
