Yep, all correct. Molotov was the Russian foreign minister at the time

The truth was Finland had very little artillery, and what it did have
was mostly light, obsolete 76mm stuff without the required range.
Startlingly, most of the land Russia wanted was rich in minerals like
nickel and did nothing to improve Leningrad\'s safety.
FWIW, The current Russian brutality comes from a senior command mindset
that by causing enough fear they will reduce the number of people
willing to resist - another thing they learnt (incorrectly) from the Nazi\'s.
Much of Putin\'s nuclear saber rattling comes from the same mindset, just
with horrendously higher stakes.

In fact, Russia is trying to avoid killing civilians. It bent over backwards to let civilians escape from the Mariupol steel plant.
That\'s a flat-out lie. It took a great deal of negotiation to get any civilians out of the Mariupol steel plant, and those that got out got out in dribs and drabs.
There are too many thugs in the world who believe using civilians as human shields is hunky-dory...
Nobody would be silly enough to imagine that the Russians would be hesitant about shooting or bombing civilians.
Like people who have encouraged civilians to throw Molotov cocktails at soldiers. Then they whine about so-called war crimes.
It\'s an anti-tank weapon, invented by the Russians (whence the name).
The Molotov cocktail name came from the Finns in the Winter War as a reply to the Soviet foreign minister
it was first used in the Spanish civil war _against_ the Russian tanks
