    Listen, fuck Putin and Slava Ukraine your analysis is mostly sounds, but civilians are definitely getting hit and I wouldn’t generalize or gloss over the loss of life

    A bus being hit https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3peyykxd5o

    A school with children casualties https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/05/1167579

    But while this is a protracted war where civilians are still being hit, we can see how accurate both sides can be. Meanwhile Israel is carpet bombing and calling it precision strikes.

      I guess I meant the frequency of such things happening on either side, and their intent.

      But the problem with anything coming out of Russia or territories under Russian control is that you cannot implicitly trust what they report and have no way of checking for yourself. And I’m 100% convinced that - while something like this might indeed have happened - Russia will be happy to add layers of hyperbole.
