https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63311744so to understand the BBC's take, they're saying that Russia moving civilians out of the line of fire constitutes a war crime, but if Russia had kept civilians in Kherson and they got slaughtered that would also be a war crime
even with Russia turning tail and fleeing ahead of the Ukrainian counter offensive in Kherson, its still definitely going to be a hot warzone with lots of shelling, so its pretty unreasonable to say evacuations are wrong, whether they're headed east or west
This is why I largely take the position I do. MSM media is so manipulative in their framing trying to no matter what steer who to cheer for and who to hate that it’s repulsive. Obvious take is they are moving 60k civilians from this area because there is a coming massive battle so naturally you wouldn’t want them dying.
Western media: Russia forcefully shipping Ukrainians to gulags.
