The Problem: Russia’s bombing of a maternity and kids’s hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine final week.
Russian International Minister Sergei Lavrov admitted that Russia had bombed the maternity hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine, however justified it by saying it was housing Ukrainian militants — and never the pregnant girls being carried out of the rubble on stretchers as captured on video for all of the world to see (besides these in Russia) (“Atrocity,” March 10).
Russia’s pathetic try and cowl up its atrocities dedicated towards civilians have to be strongly condemned.
The video of those struggle crimes needs to be proven on the United Nations on a steady loop in order that Russian diplomats and their few allies can see the reality as an alternative of listening to lies.

Because the feckless Biden administration and our NATO allies stand by and witness the carnage being inflicted on the harmless residents of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky pleads for his or her assist.
I look on the US authorities and its NATO companions with as a lot respect as I'd have for subway riders who watch an individual being assaulted on the different finish of their subway automotive and do nothing to cease it.

Over the previous two weeks-plus, we've realized a couple of issues in regards to the Russian navy: It is rather good at terrorizing and killing civilians, together with pregnant moms at a maternity hospital, however solely mediocre at really combating an opposing military, even one that's a lot smaller and has considerably much less armor, planes and different sources.
With 10 grandchildren that I want lengthy, joyful and affluent lives, I'm removed from hawkish, however I'm additionally a realist.
Vladimir Putin won't be glad when all of Ukraine’s main cities are decreased to rubble and his military occupies Kiev. The West not taking the mandatory motion now to cease this thug will solely postpone the inevitable whereas empowering different aggressive nations to invoke the nuclear risk to get their manner.

Historical past is repeating itself with Putin making an attempt to grab Ukraine for himself. He’s killing harmless civilians with no regard for human life — whether or not adults or youngsters. He’s even bombed a youngsters’s hospital. After all, the troopers and civilians have proven nice bravery defending their nation.
This isn't only a nation combating for its freedom; the stakes are a lot larger. The madman Adolf Hitler invaded Poland, then pushed his navy to take nation after county. Had he been profitable, the complete world may need fallen beneath him.
He began with one nation. Putin is on the identical stage. If he succeeds, he might take the identical path, crossing border after border along with his navy.

I noticed in The Submit a pregnant girl being carried to security after the bombing of a maternity and kids’s hospital.
Zelensky referred to as the bombing an “atrocity.”
Putin and his navy machine have dedicated struggle crimes by killing girls and kids, and so they really feel no guilt.
I’m vastly saddened and appalled over the homicide of harmless civilians that has simply taken place. President Biden and NATO should now take stronger motion.

The bombing of the maternity hospital in Mariupol is the disgrace of Mom Russia.
Russians of all walks of life ought to really feel soiled from the carnage that Vlad is inflicting on a individuals whom he purportedly refers to as “kin.”
Think about how he’ll deal with a nation like Poland that he appears down on. Poland is the primary goal of his ire, since that's the place the unraveling of the Warsaw Pact, and ultimately his beloved Soviet Union, started.
With 90 % of the Russian military slowed down in Ukraine, now's the time for the Russian individuals to revolt and take away this stain on their nation.
