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.

    Putin the war monger? Bro, Biden is literally funding genocide. The west calling Putin a warmonger is insanely hypocritical. It’s not Russia that is responsible for most of the violence in the middle east in the 21st century, America is.

        “The West” means America’s zone of influence. Otherwise known as Europe, NA, and parts of other continents. Why are you questioning the definition of a word? It’s just what the term means.

          i figured you mustve meant an actual specific person, since disagreeing with something doesnt suddenly make you a hypocrite if some guy you have nothing to do with in the same ~1 billion people group you were born into also does it

          is it actually hypocrisy that youre using a wrong definition for, then?

            Every American that gives a shit about Russias actions and is not very loudly against American imperialism, even though their own country regularly does far worse wars in the middle east, and is currently funding a genocide, is a hypocrite. Even if Russia were somehow worse than America, despite committing far fewer war crimes and crimes against humanity, Americans who care about Russia need to STFU. When you have a problem in your own home, you fix it, you don’t go around criticizing others. Americans need to fix our imperialism problem.

      This is dumbest way of avoiding addressing what’s happening in Ukraine. There’s a reason why whataboutism is a logical fallacy and not an actual valid argument.

        The same people who criticize Putin as a war monger have no issue with Biden funding genocide. That’s not a fallacy.

          That doesn’t change the fact that Putin is still a warmonger. An appeal to hypocrisy doesn’t disprove something.

            Compared to the actual problems in global politics, IE America and Israel, I don’t see how Putin is a warmonger. He has been fighting for the same critical, historically Russian territory since 2010. That’s not a warmonger. And it’s extra weird to call him that when there are actual warmongers waging wars right now. Like, even if you say Crimea shouldn’t belong to Russia, he’s clearly not starting wars for the sake of wars.

              This is most mind numbingly ignorant and brain damaged statement on this entire platform, and Lemmy is infested with brainless Marxists

                Can you even explain what Marxists believe? Or are you just using it as a slur for people smarter than you?
