Feeding Azov with billions in military weaponry and enabling them to use Russian speaking East-Ukrainians, their homes and infrastracture as shields. Then once Russians strike and destroy, pictures are taken and fed to Western media, to write articles about how Russians are attacking hospitals and schools. F*ck Zelensky, Azov and Biden. Ukraine is still holding up, but every day comes at the cost of civilians, since Ukraine has no real military infrastracture left.
"As cities are increasingly becoming primary theatres of warfare, they are not simply the site in which contemporary conflicts take place, but are also, as Eyal Weizman (2006) cogently observes, a medium of violence. Accordingly, it is not only true that within urban warfare civilians inevitably occupy the front lines of the fighting and that noncombatants and combatants as well as civilian and military edifices overlap, but also that civilians are progressively becoming a technology of warfare. This is clearly seen through the mounting news reports about human shields coming from Lugansk in East Ukraine, Mosul and Ramadi in Iraq, Kobane in Syria, Gombe in Nigeria to Gaza City, cities where civilians are increasingly being used as an instrument of protection, coercion or deterrence."
