I believe you are overthinking this one. The only country this would serve as propaganda is Russia. Wouldn’t change anything in my opinion.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Criticizing the friggin ICRC is ridiculous....
The hills folks choose to die on in this forum is entertaining...
I agree that it would only work in Russia, but that’s the only place it needs to succeed. Putin is telling his people they are running a humanitarian mission in Ukraine, and then they show Lavrov and the president of the IRC shaking hands. It’s a pretty strong optic to support the claim.
What about...what about...what about...
It would be seen as racist because it inherently is racist assuming you accept that "Hispanic" is a race. It most certainly is not "ethnic cleansing" or "cultural genocide". That's just dumb.
It is not applicable to what Russia is trying to do in Ukraine. See if you can figure out why? Clue: in which direction is the "invasion"?
I’m not criticizing the Red Cross, I’m criticizing the decision. They’re being used.
It’s like how no President would meet with North Korean leadership because they didn’t want to give them the picture.
It does nothing of the sort...
They meet with combatant nations to ensure the following...
The legal bases of any action undertaken by the ICRC are as follows:
- The four Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I confer on the ICRC a specific mandate to act in the event of international armed conflict. In particular, the ICRC has the right to visit prisoners of war and civilian internees. The Conventions also give the ICRC a broad right of initiative.
"There! That should hide our thermal signature!"
ICRC statement on meeting with the Russians....ie NOT A PHOTO OP.
Mr Maurer plans to speak about the pressing humanitarian issues to be addressed to alleviate suffering of people affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
"The devastation caused by the conflict in recent weeks, as well as eight years of conflict in Donbas, has been vast. There are practical steps guided by international humanitarian law that the parties must take to limit the suffering. I was in Kyiv last week and I'm in Moscow this week to continue the discussion with the authorities on these steps," said Mr Maurer.
Humanitarian issues in places such as Syria or in relation with the consequences of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are also on the agenda, a continuation of a long-running dialogue.
Mr Maurer plans to meet with representatives of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defense. He will also meet with the chairman of the Russian Red Cross, which is doing significant work providing assistance to those who arrived in Russia after fleeing from their homes in Donbas.
The ICRC is seeking to increase the respect of international humanitarian law and work within its mandate as neutral and impartial intermediary to address humanitarian issues and facilitate dialogue between all sides.
To meet the growing humanitarian needs, the ICRC is massively scaling up its work, including moving in additional assistance and specialists. For the humanitarian response to be more effective, neutral and impartial humanitarian space must be agreed upon and respected so this much-needed assistance reaches those in need.

President of the International Committee of the Red Cross arrives in Moscow
The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Peter Maurer, arrived in Moscow on Wednesday to continue the ICRC’s ongoing humanitarian discussions with the Russian authorities.
Not when you hide your weapons manufacturing in civilian areas.
CA bans any instruction in languages other than English (and I don't mean taking Latin, I mean the opportunity to take a math class taught in Spanish)?
Are you sure about that?
The Florida Dept. of Health publishes materials in English, Spanish and Creole.
Is that crazy?
video of the aftermath. One Alligator-class total loss, two Ropucha-class retreating, both on fire, one significantly.

Thats when you drop the biggest bomb in the world, capable of leveling the whole city. Ok now I'm done.
The Japanese were training women and children to use bamboo spears to fight invaders. There were no "civilians" in an invasion of the Japanese homeland. Everyone was expected to fight.
That appears to be what Slappy thinks. That's why I was asking the clarifying question.
I don't believe he is correct.
Russia will run out of missiles at some point. They maybe be dipping into older stock currently.
Sorry...misread it. They did ban it for "all intensive purposes". It was very difficult to get bilingual instruction in CA for years until the voters overturned it. Many (most?) schools dropped it rather than deal with the hassle. But - no - there was never an absolute ban.
You seem like a super stable genius. No thanks.
"But they didn't do it to us, so since it didn't happen to us, it didn't happen to anyone"
Dude. I am not talking about what Japan did to its neighbors. I am talking about what Japan did to us and what we did to Japan.
What is wrong with all of you?
