    Undoubtedly retribution for the Ukrainian civilians killed two days ago. Disclaimer: I am not trying to excuse this, I’m just explaining

      The Kiev regime doesn’t care about its civilians. This was retaliation for the very painful strikes on AFU military assets that Russia inflicted a few days ago, including yet again obliterating important Ukrainian air defense systems, hitting the few air fields Ukraine has left where it can launch long range strikes from, and wiping out a bunch of logistical nodes full of gear.

      The more that Russia cripples Ukraine’s military capabilities the more the Ukronazis will try to take it out on the softest possible targets which are the only ones they can still reliably hit. This usually means civilians. It’s how they boost morale internally after a major defeat and create a distraction for the international audience while showing their sponsors that they are “still in the fight”.

        Absolutely true! Russians never bomb civilians or target civilians in any way! Its the Ukrainian air defense that is causing civilian casualties!

          yes, as was confirmed by the washington post:

          https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/29/ukraine-russia-missile-barrage-power/

          Ihnat, the air force spokesman, said that it was unclear what exactly the Russians were targeting, as some missiles were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense, and damage was caused by falling fragments.

          “When certain objects get hit, you can conclude that they were trying to aim for it,” Ihnat said. “But there are also things like debris.”

          “If a flying rocket is hit, this is a large mass of metal, burning rocket fuel and so forth,” he said. “And the explosives can also still be undetonated. So when the debris of this rocket falls down, it can still have serious consequences on the ground. The work of air defense, even when it’s successful, can still have serious consequences.”

            Yes like I said, it’s completely their fault, they shouldn’t resist. And they shouldn’t put their army bases into schools, hospitals, nurseries in every city and village and it’s completely fair for the Russians to destroy them.

            But my heart goes to the tragically murdered Russians. Russia should take revenge for Ukraine attacking them!

              Ok, I want you to head back to kindergarten and play with the crayons, you’ll find that there’s a whole world of colours in there, a hell of a lot more than just black and white.

              Ukraine puts their installations inside and near schools and hospitals and residential areas, you tool. Russia doesn’t purposefully target civilians, for the most part.
