Thanks Chris for reminding us (though I guess many of your readers will not have been as close to conflicts as you) of the gut-churning horror of being under fire with death a constant presence. But also for not accepting that the film out of Mariupol is totally without an ideological intent - for reminding us of the other stories which have since emerged of the inhuman Azov Militia involvement. I don't want such a war for the people - both "ethnic/linguistic" Ukrainians and Russians in Ukraine. I would much prefer to see the leadership - political and military - put into a field and there to fight it out - without guns - for victory - so that all civilians and infrastructure outside that designated field remain unaffected...getting on with their lives. (What a vision!)
