Just look at what the chances are that so many hospitals, schools etc are being bombed by accident, also taking in account exact the same thing happened in Syria and Chechnya. There is no other conclusion than it's deliberate.
Ukrainians are now contemplating not to provide coordinates of hospitals to the UN, where Russia also has access to them as Russia seems to attack them as soon as they get them.
Of course bombing residential areas is in itself counter to all civilised "rules of war" but to deliberately target a hospital is a special kind of awful.

Originally posted by malvolio View PostIF he has been sanctioned, he is not able to generate revenue. Season tickets have already been sold, gate tickets haven't. It's all perfectly logical. Sensible, however, is a different question...
Freezing his assets is good idea, no point undermining that asset by banning ticket sales as it would just reduce the value that it can be sold for later with money going to Ukraine as part of Russian reparations.
No good reason to create backlash from fans who can't get tickets.

It's Boris who decides how many to ship - 10% of what's available, 25% or 50% or even more. These are pretty short range missiles anyway and there are maybe 150-200 of them in the UK, not a huge number but could make a difference in key cities that are getting bombed with dumb 500 kg bombs.Last edited by AtW; 10 March 2022, 11:34.Comment

It's pretty obvious the Ukrainians were deliberately using the hospital as a military HQ of some kind, and patients there were little short of Saddam-style human shields.

Could you be specific on the ‘pretty obvious’ bit?
