Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

      Yeah but you see, he can’t, because NATO made him do it. NATO is weak and decadent by the way, but simultaneously strong enough to force Nice Guy Putin into doing things he wouldn’t have done otherwise.

      What I really mean to say is, the West is responsible for these bombings (I am very intelligent).

      But why have the US and West not been able to kick him out? Isn’t Russia a gas-station? Isn’t Putin weak? Isn’t the Russian army weak? Isn’t “the whole world” agaist Putin? Isn’t UA winning all the time, at any given time?

        They could if they got directly involved, but they’re not directly involved. The war is only between Russia and Ukraine. The West has only supplied Ukraine, they haven’t sent in any troops or heavy hitting weapons. NATO has half of the world’s GDP, 70% of its military expenditure, over half of the world’s nukes, and nearly a billion people. Direct involvement would be so rigged that Putin literally doesn’t stand a chance
