They are also Ukrainian sovereign territory, tge Russians have zero right to be there. Pausing in their efforts to murder civilians is not something the Russians deserve any credit for.

The use of ‘humanitarian corridors’ goes back at least as far as WW2, Tge Kindertransports are an example.

A convenient line of logic for those wishing to parrot propaganda.

And while parroting the propaganda they’ve been fed, making the claim to be ‘free thinkers’.

You thought wrongly. The Russian claims of Ukrainian shelling parts of Ukraine are the pretext for Russia’s illegal invasion.

Whataboutary. You chose to put up the video and draw our attention to the question asked. Having done so you now object to the obvious problems of Russia’s credibility as it relates to the claims Russia has made. Russia’s statements wrt not invading -lies. Russia’s statements wrt not having invaded - laugh out loud lies. Russia’s statements wrt to Ukrainian Biological Weapons programs - Dangerous lies. The list goes on. So please, don’t put up posts based on Russian statements and then object to others questioning the truth of Russia’s claims. And for the record, Russia killing a single Ukrainian child is one dead Ukrainian child too many, don’t go obfuscating that fact with pedantry over the actual numbers of Ukrainian children Russia has killed.

Regardless, it’s an unconfirmed report.

The accusation of the attack raised in the question is one made by Russia and has not been independently verified. I note too that the person asking the question failed to identify himself.

Nothing to do with him being a murderous thug then.

There is absolutely nothing ‘voluntary’ in the predicament the Ukranians have had force upon them. Quit with your victim blaming and support for the viscous aggressor.

Let’s just examine this blind obedience to Putin’s ‘right’ to do as he pleases. Ukraine is a sovereign nation and as a sovereign nation has the absolute right and duty to defend its territorial integrity. To do so Ukrainian needs weapons. As a sovereign nation Ukrainian has an absolute right to acquire and deploy any weapons that do not breach international law/treaties/conventions in pursuit of its right and duty to defend its territorial integrity. If a rogue nation illegally attacks Ukraine it is the rogue nation’s illegal attack that is the cause of all ensuing deaths and distruction. If the rogue nation does not illegally attack, the deaths and distraction do not occur. Only a blind obedient to the lies and propaganda of such a rogue nation would argue otherwise.

‘….itself to Russia’

Ukraine is a sovereign nation, there’s nothing amusing in any of this.

Whataboutary

China is waiting to buy up Russian natural resources at bargain basement prices as the Russian economy collapses. Why wouldn’t they?!

Missiles fired by Russia during their illegal invasion of a sovereign nation.

Nevermind Oliver Stone, he was not a US President doing Putin’s bidding, praising Putin at every turn while at the same time trying to extort Zalenskyy with the threat of withholding the military aid Ukraine needed to defend itself against Russia.

During the WW2 Nazi bombing of British cities the British government sent teams of psychologists into bombed cities to asses the impact of the bombing on the affected populations. What they discovered was, far from destroying public moral, the bombing of cities actually strengthened resolve and increased civil unity amongst the affected populations. Putin is not going to break the resolve of the Ukrainian people.

I’m not sure making more predictions addresses my observation of fact that you don’t know the future.

Sorry to point out the obvious, you are not in any ‘situation’, those that are are making their own decisions while they are still free to do so.

The only people blaming NATO and the EU are Putin and the useful idiots parroting his propaganda. As for ‘not hard to see the future’, don’t kid yourself, you have no idea where this is all heading.

They’ve done it before.

The purpose of disconnecting Russia from the internet is to hamper Russian cyber attacks. (As a positive side effect it will also further cripple the Russian economy). Informing the Russian population of things most are probably not predisposed to hear is almost certainly way behind combatting Russian cyber attacks on the priority scale. Russian civilians will in any case get the message as the Russian economy collapses.
