Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia made a "conscious choice" by launching a major attack on his country's energy infrastructure on Christmas Day.

 

Ukraine's air force said it had detected 184 missiles and drones, but many were shot down or missed their targets.

 

It said there were casualties from the strikes but gave no figures.

 

Moscow confirmed the attack and said its goal had been achieved.

Putin the genocidal war criminal dictator is also trying to punish Ukraine for celebrating Christmas on the 25th rather than the eastern date.

That's what happens when using western supplied missiles in Russia.

Would they have been less destructive had they been sent on a different day?

Huh? I distinctly remember posts on this very subforum claiming that Russia had run out of missiles. I guess someone got it wrong, Ukraine perhaps?

Should be strongly condemned the same on any and every day of the year. While I completely sympathize for Ukraine, the 25th is Just another day of the year, despite "holy-day" superstitious beliefs. The destruction and carnage are the same regardless of the date on the calendar and Putin couldn't care less.

But he got "Putin the genocidal war criminal dictator" part correct for certain.

I wonder what might be a "human" attack?

The world knows what a low-life Putin is .... I would hope the US or Ukraine special forces assassinate him very soon ....  he deserves no less.

Well Albert Einstein, you haven't exactly sussed out how to correctly reply to a post have you?

[spidermike007]

Everything about the despot dictator, serial killing madman named Putin is inhumane. The man does not have a decent bone in his body. Think about it, what has Russia done for the world in the last 20 years? What benefits has Russia offered the planet?

 

They are forlorn nation, a thieving criminal nation

Not everyone agrees with you. Remember the 'west' is only 13% of the world

If he'd have gone to the negotiation table back in 22 this could all have been avoided

You got it wrong (again): this is what happens when Russia fires North Korean supplied missiles into Ukraine.

This comment is textbook insanity and an example of blaming the victim, and it’s completely false and frankly, disrespectful.

Here are just a few points that make it completely insane:

 

1/ Russia is the aggressor in this conflict, having invaded Ukraine in February 2022. They have continued to launch missile attacks throughout the conflict. 

2/ Ukraine has been defending its territory and people against Russian aggression, and they have every right to use whatever means necessary to defend themselves.

3/ Western-supplied weapons have been provided to Ukraine for the purpose of defending against Russian aggression.

 

Lets hope you may regain your sanity in time to come.
