Latest S2 Update on Ukraine

The European MSM are currently impressing the public with outrage regarding Russia's allegedly
bombing a maternity hospital in Ukraine. That's the same Ukraine where Hunter Biden worked.

But at the time of posting, the verification of the deaths and injuries is still dubious and hence the
BBC title and text not representing the incident. However, visuals entertain and are not accountable.

Kyiv and Moscow to hold high-profile talks

'The foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine are to hold talks in Turkey, as Moscow's all-out invasion of its neighbour
enters its third week. Ukraine's Dmytro Kuleba said ahead of the face-to-face meeting with his Russian counterpart
Sergei Lavrov that his expectations were "limited".

It comes after Ukraine accused Russia of bombing a children's hospital - an attack Kyiv says is a "war crime".
Ukraine says 17 people were hurt in the attack in Mariupol on Wednesday.

Footage has since emerged showing a building - which also housed a maternity ward - reduced to a shell, with a huge
crater nearby. The bombing has been widely condemned, with the UN Secretary General António Guterres describing
the attack as "horrific", and the US accusing Russia of a "barbaric use of military force to go after innocent civilians".

But Russia's deputy ambassador to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, said the bombed hospital had been "turned into a military
object by [Ukrainian] radicals". Mariupol - where about 400,000 people live - has been surrounded by Russian forces for
several days, and repeated attempts at a ceasefire to allow civilians to leave have broken down.

"The whole city remains without electricity, water, food, whatever and people are dying because of dehydration," Olena
Stokoz of Ukraine's Red Cross told the BBC on Wednesday. Russian warplanes also hit residential areas in overnight
raids in Ukraine's north-eastern Sumy region, local officials said.

Ahead of Thursday's talks in Antalya, southern Turkey, Mr Kuleba said: "Frankly... my expectations of the talks are low."
Ukraine's foreign ministry said that Kyiv was seeking an immediate "cessation of hostilities and the war against Ukraine
by Russia".


Forget the BBC map, the actual hospital is north-east of where they located it. Here:

Meanwhile, Russia is demanding that Ukraine abandons its stated plans to join the Nato military alliance, and becomes
a neutral-status state. It also says Kyiv must accept Moscow's jurisdiction over Crimea - the southern Ukrainian peninsula
annexed by Russia in 2014. And Russia is pressing for Kyiv to recognise two self-proclaimed rebel regions in eastern
Ukraine.

Three previous rounds of talks held in recent days failed to find any breakthrough, although the two warring sides agreed
on establishing humanitarian corridors to help evacuate civilians from several besieged cities.
Ukraine said it expected more civilians would be allowed to leave cities besieged by Russian troops later on Thursday...'
