I'd been wondering about those poor people who'd been trapped beneath the steelworks all this time and saw on the news that they'd finally got out. What an inhuman existance they've suffered, over 2 months of darkness, fear and trauma yet still remain with a positive outcome for their futures. All heroes !
I can't help but feel a sense of shame at our country and its leaders against the heroism of the Ukranian people !
Those poor people are being held hostage as human shields by the Azov, Lookout. There have been numerous ceasefires and humanitarian corridors set up for the civilians, which have not been used. We should wonder whether they chose to stay in bunkers with admitted and proud Nazis of the Azov battalion whilst under siege, or if they were forced to stay as human shields to protect the aforementioned Nazis? We should not wonder for too long though. The answer is obvious when given even a few seconds consideration. Now that some have been released there is an abundance of testimony to this fact, such as;

It has long been apparent that the Azovstal plant has become disproportionately important to NATO countries. Numerous desperate attempts have been made to extract something or some people from there. Since then we have had interventions from the UN Sec. Gen. (Guterres), the Pope? and blanket coverage of the civilians in Azovstal and Russia brutal bombing, poor civilians, from media and politicians. None bothering to ask the obvious questions.
No-one in the media coming to the obvious conclusion that these civilians were self evidently hostages of the Azov Nazis, who we are now to believe are cuddly freedom fighters. Much like our embrace and arming of Al Qaeda, Al Nusra et al. in Syria.
The civilians were shields and are now probably being used as leverage in the final attempt by NATO and their Nazi henchmen to prevent Russia getting their hands on whatever it is that they are desperate to keep Russian hands off.
It will likely prove NATO involvement. Which would mean that Russia were being truthful claiming that Ukraine were planning to invade the breakaway republics as well as Crimea. Which in turn makes it legal under the R2P doctrine, which is Russia's claim. R2P is something which NATO have abused numerous times (Yugoslavia, Libya). It also, very much, changes the Rules of Engagement.
