One accident vs hundreds of russian warheads killing civilians constantly because they started a war. And you take the side of the Russians because one accident must mean that Ukraine is constantly killing their own on purpose?
So now when more innocents are killed, you gloss over the fact that Russians are killing innocents daily, you gloss over that it could have been an accident, you gloss over the fact that these accidents only happen because Russia is invading the country so they need missiles to defend themselves, and you arrive at "they kill their own people on purpose"
You have a disgusting, warped view on the world.
Hey, just thought I'd update this.
With news coming out that there wasn't a valid military target in the area that would justify an attack of this scale (and the lack of Russian confirmation of a successful hit on a Ukrainian general), I was wrong. This does seem like an indiscriminate attack on a marginally relevant target that doesn't follow the principles of proportional response to minimize civilian casualties and Russia is fucked for authorizing this strike.
I'd really hate to tell you about all the civilians killed in the War on Donbas, then...
Oh cool the last time Russia invaded Ukraine, wow, great, good topic to use when defending the current invasion of Ukraine 👍
Now THAT'S a warped worldview lol
