Russia is a very Islamic country, but Russian Jewry also has a long history. We are kind of in between 😅.
I understand the purpose of talking about the brutal murder of children, but to deny that such a thing actually happened seems pretty conspiratorial to me.
In any warfare, it is the civilian population that suffers first. We know how the United States shot civilians, we know how Russian soldiers killed children and women in Ukraine, how Ukrainians themselves took Ukrainian children hostage. War is a dirty business.
