"Ukraine, unlike Russia does its best to only target military installations and military outposts" Doesn't look like it [0]. Even the original article says: "“There are very few of our people there. Previous days with all the shelling - there was almost no response, no (Russian) military. We were left on our own,” the unnamed woman said." "that has no basis in reality" Does it? Deliberately shelling a town and killing civilians together with 'suggestions' of neo-Nazi from Azov look like a basis to me.

But your quoted line suggests they got no help from the military not that they weren't there. > Does it?

There is no promise there, I understand the distinction might be hard to notice for someone who doesn't speak English as a first language.

  It isn't behind a paywall for me. But anyway, here you are [0]. "But your quoted line suggests they got no help from the military not that they weren't there." Seriously? "there was almost no response, no (Russian) military." suggests you that Russian military was there? It seems, English is not your native language either. "There is no promise there" That's why I didn't use that word. Azov's 'suggestion' to attack border towns like Chechens did is "a basis in reality" unless you think that NYTimes journalist invented this.
