My point is that saying that Russia deliberately target hospitals is a lie.

>The "legality" of their strikes on civilian infrastructure is an idiotic thing to discuss when they shouldn't be doing any strikes in the first place.

And yet people are busy spreading atrocity propaganda. Why is that?




Going to trot out the "Those are actors" lie too?

Russian representative at UN SC two days before that mentioned in his statement that Ukrainian military forced inhabitants out of a different maternity ward in Mariupol and made fire points there. [0]

Now look at the woman at 1:10 in your video. Here is a BBC's interview with her[1]:

"But Marianna told me there were no Ukrainian military stationed in the building where she was. She says she saw Ukrainian soldiers in the oncology unit in the building opposite the maternity unit."

My take is that at worst it was a strike made by mistake by people who were unaware that the hospital wasn't evacuated.

So then if Ukraine strikes Russian maternity hospitals or other civilian assets it would plausibly be because there were Russian soldiers stationed there?


Are there Amnesty's reports or at least eyewitness accounts of Russians stationing healthy soldiers at hospitals?


My take is that at worst it was a strike made by mistake by people who were unaware that the hospital wasn't evacuated.

A highly unlikely premise.
