It doesn't matter if Ukraine did. This shit needs to stop in the news. Russia is the aggressor, and if Ukraine blows up putlers house it would be absolutely ok
it's like punching someone and being surprised when they punch back
I said almost exactly this two days ago.
I don't know why anyone is treating this as some sort of a "Ukraine bad" moment, or treating the claims as if they have any legitimacy.
If the US tries to invade someone else, I won't blame them for bombing the WH or marred-a-Lego. It's 100% deserved.
Honestly it would carry at least 0.00000000001% legitimacy as a complaint if Russia hadn't been, from the start, targeting houses, apartments, schools, hospitals, literal fucking nuclear power facilities...
Exactly, since I first heard this in the news I was like "no one should care"
Funny that at one point, people would have assumed Putin could be lying and he's make Trump look foolish. Now people knew he was lying and that trump was a fool, so neither has had reputational damage. Sad funny, but still.
Why would that be bad?
Complaining about it makes Russia look pathetic.
"waaaaaah we couldn't stop a bunch of drones from attacking dear leader's palace after years of war and bombing civilians"
-A bunch of crybaby rapists who don't like when victims fight back.
Putin is a liar and a clown.
