Not getting enough attention.

Some atrocities are OK it seems - if they are done by states that are allies of 'the west' and if they are major customers of western arms manufacturers.

Some innocent victims are not as worthy of outrage as others either - if they are brown skinned or Muslim they are starting from way back.

A few hollow words of sympathy, a diplomatic slap on the wrist if the latest horror bleeds onto the mainstream media, and a whole lot of victim blaming to provide the 'balance' that some love to project!

Sadly , you’re spot on, been following this conflict for a while and it’s almost ignored here.

They are the wrong kind of people who are not supported by the media, and people can't think unless the TV tells them what to think.

That's a bit unfair Newcastle fans have embraced their invaders.

I see Israel has been bombing Syria non stop for the last 4 days, nothing reported here ?

I'm sure the annual US aid and armaments package will show them the error of their ways - together with their 'get out of gaol free' card at the UN!

Not the biggest story from Ukraine - but there have been a lot of reports of African and South Asian refugees (many students, but not all) being prevented from getting on public transport to flee Kyiv and other major cities, and then being turned back at the Polish border.

Some reports claim Ukrainian border guards and civilians responsible, although most point the finger at Poles.

Emine Dzhaparova, the Ukranian deputy foreign minister, had to deal with the stories at the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva today. She basically said 'not us' but avoided the detailed allegations about incidents at Kyiv train station amongst others.

It is all of a piece with the under-reporting and double standards when it comes to Yemen, Gaza etc.
