There is no both-sides in this #RussianUkrainianWar

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.

Ukrainian Familys Dash for Safety Ends in Death

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.

(57,749 posts)2. Hmmm, you're right.
The post was from last year. The photograph was remarkable, so I reran it. Or, I tried to rerun it.
I see that the link at the New York Times opens up to today's front page, so I'll have to delete that.
The links are dynamic, so they link to today's paper, no matter what "today" is.
Thanks for pointing that out, and good morning.
