Comment on Zelensky slams Russia after three generations killed in drone strike

  I think it’s important to note that Russia, the State, uses the Crimean bridge just as often as the local Russian People, possibly even more so due to the current situation. I would be extremely surprised if an ordinary citizen didn’t have to go through at least 1 security checkpoint to get anywhere close to that bridge. Whereas a residential building is…well, just that: a place where ordinary people live their ordinary lives. Ukraine “does not get a pass just because they are the ones who have been invaded.” Ukraine gets a pass because they are not actively aiming at civilian targets.

  Ukraine is making the war more difficult for themselves to avoid wasting innocent lives; Russia doesn’t value their own innocents, much less those on the other side of the border

    This is what western media makes us believe.

      Look, buddy, I’m no fan of western journalism either, but there’s a big difference between being skeptical/aware of its biases (me) and deciding that everything they say is the exact opposite of truth (you).

      No, Ukraine is not made up of only the “Good Guys” and Russia is not only the “Bad Guys” like some CoD game from 2005. But just take a step back and look at the goals of each participant: one is trying to defend their homes and people while the other is trying to gobble up more territory simply because they think they deserve it more than the current owners

  Less access to Ukraine also means less Russian people will die.
