I’ve heard the opposite. The Russians are just shelling everything to make the civilians leave. Basically just keep firing cannon rounds, make roads unusable, hit the odd building, generally turn shit to rubble.
There hasn’t been many tactical strikes like what we have seen the US do. It’s the same tactic the Russians have used before, that’s also why it’s taking so long but also why they are so exposed to losses.
We are only getting half the story from our media. The Ukrainian army puts artillery between residential buildings and hospitals and fires from there. When the Russians fire at the artillery and blow up buildings we are told they are attacking innocent civilians.
There are also videos of Ukrainian soldiers torturing POW's by blowing off their testicles, knees and feet while putting bags over their heads and beating them to death. Which US media corps have shown this or even mentioned it?
I don't believe anything I am told from our media. Journalists are supposed to tell us the facts and let us decide the rest. Instead, they tell us what they want us to hear so we will think what they want us to think.
