Pure horror: Russian soldiers are deliberately killing Ukrainian civilians trying to flee. A mother & 2 children were killed and father wounded by a mortar shell as hundreds of civilians sought safety.

IRPIN, Ukraine — The bridge was just a shell of its old self, blown up days earlier by Ukrainian soldiers intent on slowing the Russian advance on the capital, Kyiv, but battered as it was, it offered a lifeline to civilians desperate to flee the fighting.

On Sunday, as Ukrainian refugees were milling near the entrance to the structure, calculating their odds of making it safely over the Irpin River, a family laden with backpacks and a blue roller suitcase decided to chance it.

The Russian mortar hit just as they made it across into Kyiv.

1. can the russian barbarism against these innocent people ever be forgotten let alone forgiven?

3. It's not really new...

They've been doing this for years in Syria, Chechnya, and other places around the world.

Recently, it dates from WWII, when they learned it as a reprisal to the NAZI brutalities of their invasion of Russia. Now that the brutality is aimed at a more "western" nation with a higher proportion of "white" people in it, it gets more publicity. Hopefully the increased focus on it will lead to a tempering of the actions.

But then, we humans are surprisingly capable of inflicting brutality on each other. It has been true since the beginnings of history.

There has been no time in the history of russia where they were ever known for anything other than their barbarism.

10. I've read the experts say that Russia basically has an artillery

army. This is what they do. This is how they win.

11. Nicole Wallace today showed that photo

after a very clear warning about how disturbing it may be for some people and said they would only show it once.

NYT puts it on their front page. I don't know what conclusion to draw from that.

14. Russia needs to end.

I mean it, there is no excuse for such an entity to exist in this world at this time in space.

They have never been anything more than barbarians and that is being proven, on steroids, in Ukraine now.

I call for the dissolution of russia, period. This is more than enough to prove that that country cannot be accepted as is any longer among those of us in the rest of the world who want no more wars. Only despots and tyrants are in favor of their actions and half of them do so out of fear. I can't see how any other resolve can end the aggression that country is all about.
