Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has warned that it was “inevitable” that “war” would come to Russia after authorities there were forced to temporarily close a busy Moscow airport following an overnight drone attack on the capital.

I can’t understand why people see attacking civilians as a god thing. I mean if you can justify that you must be able to justify 9/11 because US was invading another country (this statement is always true no matter when you read it). I can’t understand why they want to be like Russia and attack civilians.
I think there is still quite the spectrum between “war will come to russia” and “shoot civilians”.
To me this attack looks like espionage stuff.
Hitting military targets (as per Ukraine, offices of state institutions) in the night when noone is there is “attacking civilians”, now? If you want to attack civilians, you don’t attack places where they’re not.
You know what’s attacking civilians? Throwing cruise missiles at apartment blocks in the night, and shopping centres in the middle of the day, as Russia is doing.
The video shows an attack in the middle of a city, or are you trying to convince me that everybody on the street was military related? Also, i don’t trust at all any source from Russia nor Ukraine. War is half about fighting and half about propaganda.Or have people already forgotten all the bullshit both governments have told? I got ultra downvoted back in Reddit for telling the Ghost of Kyiv was a propaganda exercise, and as it turns out…
What part of “office building, at night” did you not understand?
And, no, it is not a requirement under international law to make sure that no civilians get hit. If grandma brings grandson a cake to base and the base gets blown up she’s collateral damage, what matters here is that the target was military and that reasonable precautions have been taken to spare civilians – in this case, to do it at night.
Otherwise, if you’d say “you can’t ever attack within a city” everyone would have their military HQs etc. dispersed throughout residential areas and, consequently, nobody would be willing to spare civilians. Is that what you want?
If anything you should be complaining about Russia (attempting to) use civilians as shields by dispersing their operations exactly like that.
Yes I too feel it’s a childish stance. You will find a lot of people arguing “but they hit first”. Even from a pragmatic point of view, this serves no tactical purpose and will only lead to more passionate support for the war efforts( among the Russian people)
Well, we’ll take being called childish over enabling nuclear genocide.
Out of the mouths of babes comes wisdom.
The only ones who have, so far, actually used nuclear weapons were the British with the depleted uranium bullets. Although to my surprise, these are not considered nuclear weapons by the BBC, even though the Ukrainian soil will probably stay poisoned for quite some time. I hope nobody used to live in the area, because someone would probably try to get back to their old house
Or did i miss the news and the Russians used nuclear weapons?
Russia rigged the Zaphorzhiza plant’s cooling ponds with explosives. Sauce: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/05/russia-has-planted-suspected-explosives-on-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-roofs-says-zelenskiy
It’s just a bunch of dumbass Russia applogists trying to squeeze blood from a stone to bolster their dipshit leader making something of this.
thanks for the news
You really have no idea what life has been like for the people in Ukraine at the hands of Russia, or you wouldn’t reduce this to a “childish stance”. How can you lack such empathy for Ukrainians?
