Although this is probably the case, those 5000ish people have made their choice, and the Ukrainian army simply can't be expected to continue to act in a way that maximises those civilians' chance of survival. If anything, they are helping the Russian army by being in the way. Really not particularly patriotic.

"A collection of old men, criminals, and disheartened conscripts begging to go home."

Nobody said anything like that. If anything, reddit news showed that russian soldiers will keep going to the slaughter no matter what and their human qualities are dubious at best.

And just because they are incompetent doesn't mean that they can't just throw human waves at ukranians over and over again - which is exactly what they are doing. But taking a small city (it used to have population of 40k-70k) after a YEAR of fighting and countless casualties is not a gigantic russian victory. Its only a single line of defence, and Ukraine has hundreds more, and soon western tanks will arrive. Russia taking Bakhmut is not a sign that they are "winning". Russia took Severodonetsk just a few months before Ukraine did a brilliant counter-offensive and liberated entire Kharkiv oblast and Kherson. Everyone, who is not a coping russian supporter, said ages ago, that Bakhmut no longer holds strategic value, that would be worth all these resources Russia is throwing at it.

Bakhmut served its role as a place, where ukranians could kill A LOT of russian soldiers, and now they can retreat from those ruins.

Human rights are human rights regardless of whether the country wants to remain traditional or not. Yes you don’t have to accept certain philosophies but you CAN NOT go and cause harm to people that don’t subscribe to your ideology.

>Wars don’t end by one party saying they are wrong and turning back. The only way for it to end is through negotiated settlement.

Negotiation is ongoing. That's what wars are, negotiation. It's up to Ukraine and Russia to decide when the cost is too high, and there's absolutely nothing wrong for Ukrainian allies to make sure that cost is tilted as heavily against Russia as possible.

Russia already committed genocide against Ukraine once (Holodomor). Russia (at least Putin) already announced the intention to erase Ukrainian identity (also a genocide). So let me ask you this, how high a price would you pay to not get killed or enslaved? Or would you want someone on your side to make sure the cost to enslave you is high enough for those wishing to enslave you that they go home?

That's ultimately what this war is about, Ukrainian wishing not to be enslaved, and their allies supporting that wish. And every negotiated settlement will have to include Russia no longer have a chance to enslave Ukrainians.

If the West shared the belief that all men are created equal, than their suffering would also create a equal response. Unfortunately the situation in Yemen is caused by Saudi Arabia, one of USA closest allies. While billions of dollars are sent to Ukraine, not only by USA but also the rest of the west, nothing near what UN is sending to Yemen is matched by the USA/West. ”The hypocrisy of our democracy”.

You can expect a pro Ukraine bias as they are defending against Russia and punching above their weight. By all means read Russian "news" but you can expect zero honesty from it. Go read the bulwark if you want "unbiased" news. Many articles are written by military veterans, although you may just call it pro Ukraine bias anyways since the common consensus is that if Ukraine can keep adapting to what's given to them they can feasibly re take their land.
