The Kremlin really do everything in their power to be as evil as possible. I know this is ‘just’ a building and that thousands have lost their lives, including one more civilian this time, but why bomb a UNESCO Heritage Site?…

They want to deliberately erase Ukrainian culture and replace it with their own.
Its funny because their cultures and heritage are so intertwined its pretty much the same.
Well except for russia being devoid of any culture anymore. Its a slimy, gray, smelly blob of sad.
Ereasing a culture huh?, This reminds a certain person
Just one? Off the top of my head there's Hitler, Mao, Taliban if you don't want to limit to just individuals, Turkey in 1960s, CCP with what they're doing to Uyghurs.
So in just the last week the Kremlin terrorists have attacked food, hospital sites, and an apartment building.
Building is nothing. Human lives is everything. Even one death is more than enough for our bloody "leader" to rot in hell.
Sincerely yours, Russian fellow.
You are right about that. I would add that non-human lives are also valuable. I especially believe animal suffering is terrible, ours and others. We are enough to help humankind and also repair injustices to and help other beings.
What I wanted to comment is that I felt this image intensely because it is kind of symbolic. It represents the beauty we are capable of, the way we can be brought together by beliefs and dreams, all destroyed by greediness, selfishness, and unnecessary violence. It is tragic. It is not the value of the building itself, which is debatable, but this I explained.
Sorry if my English is weird.
Pathetic
Russia is such a bucket-crab.
*Odesa
Very sad. I have been to Odessa often before the 2022 war, and the city was spared major attacks for so long. But I guess that's over now :(
If the world ever goes to war on Russia, let this be a reminder of how low the bar stands when we're shoving their own medicine down their throats
They dont make that link. They have been using cluster ammo for 18 months now but cry since Ukraine has started to use it as well. Pathetic little mindset these people have.
The cluster munition attack with the highest known civilian casualties occurred on April 8, 2022, when Russia launched a Tochka-U ballistic missile equipped with a cluster munition warhead at a crowded train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk as hundreds of people were trying to leave the area. A detailed Human Rights Watch investigation found that the attack killed at least 58 civilians and injured over 100 others.
Barbaric
I don't really see how this strategically advances any goals. I'm willing to bet it's a mistake by one side or the other rather than any intent. The target has no value or purpose and makes no sense. Maybe as terror or something but ehhhh
Are there any images of the missile debris floating around the various telegrams? Would be interested in seeing exactly what weapon it was.
Destroying the Ukrainian culture could be one as Poutine's propaganda is saying that Ukraine is not a real country with a real history but a part of Russia that needs to be recovered.
Nah that makes no sense mate.
What doesn't make sense to you?
Mainly the part where an attack intended to destroy the building would be very easy but this is just mild damage. I mean that in the sense of it not being catastrophic rather than implying that this occurring to a religious building isn't upsetting, it's not a pleasant thing. The point being that when they intend to actually blow stuff up there's usually very little left over of the targets, which leads me to believe this wasn't the target.
Which is why I'm interested in seeing what hit it. I'm surprised there are no photos of the missile debris so far, there are in almost every single other attack as it's the information that validates a lot of information for international eyes.
Can we just nuke them already. There is no need for Russia in a civilised world
Can we just get rid of TheBlue22 already. There is no need for people calling for nukes in a civilised world
Civilised... right
