Pure horror: Russian soldiers are deliberately killing Ukrainian civilians trying to flee. A mother & 2 children were killed and father wounded by a mortar shell as hundreds of civilians sought safety. @nytimes photographer Lynsey Addario witnessed it. https://t.co/aDdkZt321B pic.twitter.com/Byp3VSd2n6

2. This video appears to show the mortar shell exploding among the Ukrainian civilians. I worked w/ @lynseyaddario in Iraq and think that’s her yelling. @nytimes security employees raced out first to give aid. Colleague @mgdowney might have more info. https://t.co/c8fT8HTIqV

3. @nytimes editors have made an important decision to put the photo by @lynseyaddario on the home page. Again, Russian forces fired mortar shells at hundreds of Ukrainian civilians as they fled. A mother and her two children were killed here. This is happening across Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/le8rRmw3NH

* * *Acknowledge them by looking at them, acknowledge their existence. We have turned away too many times. This is a war and this picture represents a mum and her kids the victims of a war crime, distasteful doesn't touch the sides. Pls don't turn away, look at them and see them.

It's tough when an actual war distracts from your culture war. https://t.co/89pvXR4nxg
