Western media repeats incessant claims of Russian targeting of civilians but when Ukraine target civilians & civilian infrastructure, barely a word of critique.
Yesterday Russia struck a market place apparently killing 16 or 17 civilians including a child.
The enormous blast was caught on CCTV & I assessed several of these video's last night.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I discovered an anomaly. Within a second of the blast, to the top left hand side, several flashes can be seen. These "secondary explosions" are the sort of thing seen when a missile or bomb hits a storage of munitions or shells. This is strong evidence that the market place was, as has been obvious from Ukraine's tactics from the start, being used to store/hide war materiel.
The Sun conveniently zooms in & The Time video is slightly longer.
This is still pretty grim viewing so discretion please people!
I do not condone attacks where civilians are at risk but that's exactly why Ukraine engages in human shields. If it deters Russia, that's a win. If Russia strikes & civilians are killed, that's a propaganda win. Hiding behind civilians is a win-win for Ukraine.
