The problem is Russia doesn't know the difference between military and medical:https://t.co/w4vrA5ZkRw
If they don't know the difference between an ambulance and a transport truck it makes sense that they confuse hospitals and military bases...

Zelensky to Putin: "Good Lord, what do you want? Leave our land. If you don't want to leave now, sit down with me at the negotiating table. But not from 30 meters away, like with Macron and Scholz. Sit down with me and talk. What are you afraid of? We're no threat to anyone." pic.twitter.com/CNsLj2yQ1N

Japan said this week it would accept refugees from Ukraine and send bulletproof vests to Kyiv - extraordinary measures taken by one of the countries least welcoming to refugees and also has a self-imposed arms exports ban because of its militaristic past. https://t.co/k4mjVOEJ2Z

It’s below freezing outside the Lviv railway station where Ukrainians arrive through the night from the east. @natemook & the WCK team brought bograch, a hearty stew, to keep families warm.

Shocking - Ukrainian families turned away by UK at Calais & told to go back to Paris for a visa.

NEW: Banning Facebook & criminalising journalism are not just the actions of a desperate man, they’re the equivalent of putting on a pair of bell-bottoms & dad-dancing across the internet.

Putin’s crude thuggery, his desperation to turn off information firehose has exposed who he really is. A weakling propped up by our own greed & stupidity, aided & abetted by his quislings Western allies, the entire battalion of chocolate soldiers of the ‘war on woke’ pic.twitter.com/DtN6DJZzcy

It happened in Syria, @EliotHiggins says, but there was a time lag. In Ukraine, there isn’t. And the radical decision by US intelligence to put their intel into public domain helped inoculate us. They said there would be fake news about fake bombs & then, guess what? pic.twitter.com/FNrliRL96t
