Bakhmut. The city looks like its the center of a fiery hell...

If either side was engaged in serious negotiations, with the US and China co-sponsoring the talks within the UN, then an INTELLIGENT person would have declared Bakhmut an "open city" which would have spared them from this carnage. If either side balked at the idea then the ramifications internationally would have been horrific (this type of PR would have the rest of the world, not just the Western nations giving the Russians/Ukrainians a side look at the very least).

No one wants to turn off this war because they're swept up in the propaganda.

Too bad they can't smell the dead.

One whiff of a dead body along with the image of a bloated corpse would make anyone want this war to end.
