🇷🇺 President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the extraordinary G20 Summit:

💬 I understand that this war [in Ukraine] and the loss of life are shocking and could not be otherwise.

But what about the bloody coup in Ukraine in 2014, which was followed by the Kiev regime’s war against its own people in Donbass? Did that not shock you? Are you not shocked by the extermination of civilians in Palestine and the Gaza Strip today? Did it not shock you when the UN Secretary-General said that Gaza has turned into a huge children’s graveyard?

We took note of a photo published in BusinessDay on 22 November 2023 and yet again noticed a convenient way of joggling the facts used by the Western media.

The photo shows alleged “Russian missile strike at a hospital” with the caption below the said picture quoting the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine as saying that over 10,000 civilians have been recorded killed in Ukraine since February 2022, incl 560 children.

Everything needed to convince the readership of Russians deliberately targeting civilians, attacking civil infrastructure, carpet bombing of the Ukrainian territory, etc.

We wish there were no civilian casualties, but unfortunately, military action always results in human costs. Especially when civilians are widely used as human shields.


☝️ Yet to comprehend what the outcome of strikes on civil infrastructure may be, take a look at the situation in Gaza.

❗️Latest reports from the UN health authorities indicate that more than 13,000 civilians in total, with more than 4,100 children among them, have died in the enclave since the fighting began on 7 October 2023. 67 per cent of people killed in Gaza are estimated to be women and children.

‼️Once again, 13,000 civilians in less than 2 months. Do you think that if Russian army really targeted civilians in Ukraine for almost 21 month, would this number be less than in Gaza?

You know the answer. The numbers speak for themselves.
