    A Ukrainian drone attack on Monday hit the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk in the Tatarstan region, more than 600 miles from the Ukrainian border, and killed at least 13 people, including a child, and wounded 75.

    Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova said that *the strike hit industrial sites *and residential buildings, and Rustam Minnikhanov, the head of the Republic of Tatarstan, said nine of the dead were killed when a drone hit a hostel.

    Russian strikes also hit Ukraine, and at least 24 people were injured by a glide bomb attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia, according to The Associated Press. Russia typically responds to Ukrainian drone attacks that cause significant civilian casualties by launching major missile attacks on Ukrainian cities.

    Yes it was definitely intentional to slime 9 randos in the hostel and not the 3 refineries next to it… /s

    It however was entirely intentional for Russia to use the failed intercept of a Ukrainian drone targeting Russian oil export industry to justify a cruise missile targeting Ukrainian residential infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia.

      Russia typically responds to Ukrainian drone attacks that cause significant civilian casualties by launching major missile attacks on Ukrainian cities.

      So your response is to admit that Ukraine is typically doing it first, but still somehow come down on their side instead of just the rational human response of “war crimes are bad specifically because they lead to reprisals, and everyone needs to stop doing them but especially the side doing them first.”

        Holy fuck do you not have any reading comprehension that is a direct quote from the in my opinion heavily biased article posted by OP. I guess expecting basic comprehension was a leap too far.

        war crimes are bad specifically because they lead to reprisals, and everyone needs to stop doing them but especially the side doing them first

        Something tells me you do not believe that statement
