So now, a guy in his bedroom a world away from Ukraine has decided that what he thinks is
not disinformation portrays the nice little helpless, backward Russian troops as "Why would they.... strike the Ukraine and kill children and such," and that the survivors in the Ukraine must be the most evil people on the planet by trying to stay alive, for villifying the nice, little Aparatchik force who are killing children and adults alike--why would they--yadda, yadda, yadda, zippety do-dah day, yadda.
Death toll rising as Ukraine braces for more fighting

The Associated Press:
ANDRIIVKA, Ukraine — The mayor of the besieged port city of Mariupol put the number of civilians
killed there at more than 5,000 Wednesday, as Ukraine collected evidence of Russian atrocities on the
ruined outskirts of Kyiv and braced for what could become a climactic battle for control of the country’s
industrial east. Ukrainian authorities continued gathering up the dead in shattered towns outside
the capital amid telltale signs Moscow’s troops killed civilians indiscriminately before retreating over
the past several days. In other developments, the U.S. and its Western allies moved to impose new
sanctions against the Kremlin over what they branded war crimes.

The Russians have no business beating up a small nation for claiming all the rich minerals including the world's largest supply of magnesium. Oh, no, they have been FRAMED by those horrible, no good, verra bad Ukes, who are tarnishing Putin's halo. Yeah, right!!!!!!!!!!! <burp> The Russians screwed up in every way imaginable by blasting their way into Kiev without considering children, hospitals, orphanages, schools, etc. before the world woke up to hear of this bloodbath of a sovereign nation at the behest of Russian V. Putin.

Edit, I just found this about the casualties in Mariupol:
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said he believed “tens of thousands” of people had been killed in Mariupol so far. Britain is increasingly concerned that Russia could use white phosphorus munitions in Mariupol. The agent was reportedly used during the civil war in Syria that causes severe burns. Western officials suspect Russia is looking for Mariupol to fall so it can free up troops for a renewed effort in the Donbas. Heappey said Putin was gearing up to try and take the Donbas ahead of the May 9 victory parade
10,000 more dead from Mariupol?
Vladimir Putin has been warned that the West “will not stand by” if he uses chemical weapons in Ukraine.
The UK government is urgently investigating unconfirmed reports that chemical agents may have been used in the besieged city of Mariupol, where 10,000 people are said to have died during Russia’s relentless six-week assault.
Last night foreign secretary Liz Truss tweeted that any use of such weapons would be a “callous escalation in this conflict”, adding: “We will hold Putin and his regime to account”
My sympathies on the Ukrainians. Not only are they being murdered right and left, the survivors are being maligned by none other than the invader Putin, to cover his child-killing spree for the last 45 days, more or less. I can't believe people are judging the victims and patting the killers on the back. This is really not a good idea. Four and a half million Ukrainians fled their home due to Russian missiles shot at their neighbors and themselves indiscriminately and with malice aforethought. I wish they'd stayed at home.
