Yes. It's not the shelling that's the story, rather how heavily the Russian media is running it this morning.

I think it might be a Russian counter narrative rollout. Rumors of Russian (or Russian heritage) genocide by the Ukrainians in the Donbass. I don't think the Russian invasion blitz by Western media took hold and the Russians are now going to try to prove genocide. It will be very bad optics for Brandon if that develops legs.

I can't see Europe wanting anything to do with Brando's scheming. Too energy dependent. Brandon must have been strong-arming, IMO. and Putin will try to make him pay. Europe, looking to avoid war, may just take up the Russian banner to cut Brandon off.
