It's sad but you can't expect attacked countries to not fight back.
They committed a war crime. Take a moment to look at the photo gallery, they bombed civilian cars, civilian apartment complex, single family housing.
And they are doing this on the eve of a potential ceasefire. This is not "sad", it's malicious and counterproductive. This kind of attack does nothing to improve the balance of power of Ukraine, it's essentially state terrorism.
It's so sad, if only Russia could've averted this tragedy somehow.
They tried, for 8 years. The West collectively said "nah, fuck you and your peace deals" and continued to bomb Donbas.
Now y'all are celebrating war crimes with the one hand and clutching your pearls that Russia hits back at military equipment fired from within hospitals (another fucking war crime from Ukraine) with the other.
I hope the upcoming burst of the bubble puts the west down for real, I can't believe people like you are voting for the people in charge of the biggest military apparatus in human history.
Russia tried not attacking Ukraine for 8 years and then just had to do it? That does sound very Russian.
Friend, you're clutching your pearls over a single attack but Russian invasion has caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths. Give me a break.
If only the west hadn't provoked the whole conflict.
Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine
If you're worried about Ukrainians striking civilian infrastructure, i have some bad news about what Russia has been doing.
This must be that "whataboutism" I keep hearing liberals crying about
Ok one civilian killed, how many tactical targets did they hit? 337 shot down, how many drones did hit their target? sounds like this post shares only the absolute worst side of the story.
"The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down at least 91 drones in the region around Moscow and more than 240 drones directed at other targets across the country."
"The Ukrainian military said it had targeted Moscow’s oil refinery, which provides more than a third of the fuel consumed in the capital region, along with an oil production station in the Orel region. Neither claim could be independently verified."
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/world/europe/ukraine-russia-moscow-war-drones.html
"Ukraine's armed forces "struck a number of strategic objects of the Russian Federation involved in ensuring armed aggression against Ukraine," they said in a statement Tuesday.
The Russian military said it shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions. Three people were killed and 18 injured, and several residential buildings damaged, according to Russian officials."
NYT does not say whether a civilian was killed or soldier. They all leave that out. Like almost all Western newspapers. Which is why you got Daily Mail.
At least use an archive link if you're going to share the Daily Mail
Daily Mail (essentially trump/putin media)
i wouldnt be surprised if the russians attacked themselves so they could turn back on their ceasefire and make the ukrainians look like war crazed terrorists.
ill believe it fully when the ukrainians themselves claim the attack on a non biased platform. this is practically a heresay news source from the far right.
i wouldnt be surprised if the russians attacked themselves
The absolute state of libs. Put down the tinfoil.
Russians are at the same time desperate for a peace deal bc they're getting decimated but staging an elaborate and incredibly expensive attack to jettison the deal. ???? Boy am I not surprised your ruling class doesn't respect your intellect enough to pretend they're not robbing you blind.
Every time Ukraine suffers a big military loss, they start doing massive attacks on civilians to distract from that. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2025/03/11/retreat-ukrainian-brigades-appear-to-be-leaving-kursk/
edit: I guess basic facts of the situation makes people who've been guzzling propaganda for the past three years very upset
Every time Russia suffers a big military loss, they start doing massive attacks on civilians to distract from that.
FTFY
More correct is just “Russia is attacking civilians”
If Ukraine ran out of civilians they would start attacking civilians in another country
Sometimes I wonder how the fuck we as the world have been getting all of our shit stolen by people this delusional.
You're a fucking hair away from being a nazi ragging on about how immigrants are gonna come in and assault everybody and then move elsewhere when they're done, look in the mirror a little jfc. Hell, you're already using their asiatic horde script.
There is a comedic lack of self awareness or a comedic lack of historical knowledge in your comment
Somebody in here does have a lack of self awareness, but it's tragic more than it is funny. I'm past seeing the fun in yet another westerner frothing at the mouth.
Do illuminate me though, I'm sure such a brash and confident attitude can only come from ~~white mediocrity~~ reading a lot of history and political theory books and not just, like, vibes and half remembered headlines.
Imperialism doesn’t just end at one country it continues. Look at Occupied China, their 1930 border was a lot smaller than their 1949 border, and they added Tibet. In recent history they added HK and are looking towards Taiwan
You know it’s not about liberating Ukrainians because Russia hasn’t returned any land, if you are going to say that’s because Ukraine is still evil then why aren’t the liberated lands independent of both Russia and Ukraine?
If you think Ukraine is the aggressor in this then how much ground combat has happened in Russia? I’m sure your unbiased/non-western sources are full of battles taking place around Moscow and Saint Petersburg
Look at Occupied China
🤡 Occupied by whom, other than the Chinese people themselves? You know that Chiang Kai-shek was a fascist who the peasantry chased off the mainland and exiled to an island, right? The only reason they didn’t Luigi him is the US intervened, to protect a fascist.
they added Tibet
I’m pretty sure virtually all of the Tibetan people are happy to no longer be suffering under theocratic feudalism. Happy to no longer be illiterate serfs and slaves, suffering depredation under a god-king. I doubt many of them are sad that CIA asset Dalai “suck my tongue” Lama is in exile.
In recent history they added HK
Because the UK’s 99 year lease to subjugate Hong Kong ended, yes. A lease which had been forced upon Imperial China at gunpoint during the century of humiliation. Hong Kong reintegration after the lease expired was a foregone conclusion.
If you think Ukraine is the aggressor in this then how much ground combat has happened in Russia? I’m sure your unbiased/non-western sources are full of battles taking place around Moscow and Saint Petersburg
I don’t know where you’re going with this straw man. No one claiming that Russia didn’t invade Ukraine.
well I recommend you learn about the Chinese civil war, that will clear up your misunderstandings
And
So you can acknowledge Russia is imperialist so you must know my original post was correct
Wow. I’m kinda shocked by this news. Ukraine on the offensive? Why?
Negotiations in Saudi right now. Ukraine probably wants to show they are willing to bomb cities just like Russia if they do not get a good deal.
How come when Russia drops bombs it's a military target (or something meters away from one) but when Ukraine drops bombs it's always schools, apartments, and shopping malls?
Didn't Russia bomb a building with "children" painted in front of it once
Neo liberals: This is just Russian propaganda!!!!! We must continue giving more guns bombs tanks and military ordinance to the Ukraine to defend democracy which we don’y…. I mean definitely still do have here in the United states because of……. I mean DESPITE… Malignant Russian actors who perpetrated the DNC leaks 9 years ago and DEFINITELY NOT wall street corporate military and prison industry profiteers who own both political parties and collude to manipulate the American people and maintain their fascist neo-feudalistic state at all costs!!!!!
Of course world news is filled with neo libs who think the solution to the issues is just to vote harder and that democracy in the usa wasn't obviously compromised decades ago. Man you guys are so delulu.
👏 a well deserved clap back👏
Just like 9/11
Turns out imperialism is bad regardless of it being US or Russian
Did you respond to the wrong comment?
Nope.
9/11 is a direct response to US imperialism in the middle east and tied directly with our abandonment of the mujahideen following supporting them throughout the Soviet Afghan war.
Our abandonment before their government stabilized is responsible for the rise of the Taliban and the influence of Bin Laden.
Ukraine targeting civilian centers like this is exactly the same kind of clap back against imperialist greed for land and resources.
Imperialism and authoritarian behavior historically always meets bloody resistance; see also Hamas in Palestine.
This is what always happens when we stop arming/funding right-wing extremist groups. They make things a million times worse.
Zelenskyy would rather start WW3 than hold elections. Completely psychotic.
How can you all contort yourself into a pretzel to somehow make Zelensky the bad guy? It’s like you forgot who and how this was started.
Which portion of your country would you give up to an invading country?
texas and florida
edit: better yet, all the red states from the last election
Fair enough.
nothing about this or ukraine's situation is fair.
nato is a threat to russia, ukraine was fooled into thinking that they could join nato so the russians responded like how americans responded to cuba or mexico, or agentina, or chile when they tried to join the russians or peru or bolivia or paraguay when they try to join china.
russia and nato are dominant powers for now and like all dominant powers in the past; they get to dictate what other countries can and can't do; it's all totally unfair and contortions aren't needed to understand this fact.
They gave up their entire country to the west when they allowed the US to overthrow their government in the 2014 Maidan Coup. Then they let NATO place troop & missile deployments at the Russian border, in violation of multiple different agreements (Zelenskyy said he supported these agreements to get elected), and now Russia understandably wants a large buffer zone to prevent this from happening again (and protect the ethnic Russians who were being targeted by the Ukrainian far-right).
News flash: no one who refuses to hold elections, and who bans opposition parties & media, is ever the good guy.
But I understand that y’all want this proxy war to continue til the last Ukrainian, and don’t understand how dangerous it is to escalate with a nuclear superpower. Not sure how the drone attacks are supposed to convince them they don’t need a buffer zone, but that’s the level of strategizing we’ve come to expect from the Ukrainian government.
