A very curious headline crossed British papers. Not just BBC. Just about all the UK papers. And others as well. About Russians holding doctors and hundreds of patients hostages at a hospital in the embattled port city of Mariupol. So you kinda ask your self: was it that pro Russian terrorists forced their way in and took hostages? Are Ukrainian special forces surrounding the hospital in preparation for an assault? What are the demands of the hostage takers?....
Then you read deeper into the articles and discover it is all bullsh*t propaganda. The simple fact of the matter is it appears pro Russian forces, or maybe the Russian Army, had managed to wrestle a piece of prize estate from the defending Ukrainian Azov batallion. The hospital was captured, which is natural. And that makes the doctors, patients more detainees than hostages.
So why the misleading headlines? My suspicion is that the rabidly anti Russian UK media does not care to admit the Russian forces may be making any advances in the seige of Mariupol. Talk about hostages avoids the poignant fact that the Azov batallion may have lost a piece of prized real estate.
