The attacks began on a July weekend and have continued for a month, stretching from Moscow and St. Petersburg, to cities in the south, and eastward to the Ural Mountains. The targets weren’t oil refineries, maritime hubs or arms plants hit by other Ukrainian strikes, but warehouses that bring the convenience of online shopping across the breadth of Russia.
Ukraine’s drones have pummeled the giant depots belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s biggest online retailer, burning billions of dollars’ worth of merchandise and bringing the war home to the broad public.
The attacks on about 20 Wildberries facilities have underlined Kyiv’s ability to strike far and wide inside Russia and posed a new challenge to President Vladimir Putin nearly 4½ years into his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
They have badly shaken the empire built by Tatyana Kim, the country’s richest female entrepreneur, whose fortune has been estimated at $8.1 billion.
But when a russian missile hits an appartment building, that’s somehow fine because reasons, right?
No that’s obviously not fine and worse.
Do Ukraine use thermobaric bombs (ones that make your lungs implode)? Or cluster mines? or MOABs Or many things that go against the geneva convention.
Because that’s that Russia does. IRL Mordor
Yes, we precisely agree. Russia is doing awful things and Ukraine borderline ones.
Then, that line was already crossed broadly by Russia a good while ago, so there’s no borderline anymore. THEY started an invasion, THEY started bombing houses, THEY kidnapped kids to brainwash them. But now that Ukraine is finally fighting back and hitting where it hurts, it’s suddenly “a dangerous borderline”?
Wtf friend, it’s not suddenly a dangerous borderline, it always has been a borderline, which Russia crossed long ago, it’s not the point. Russia is bad, Russia is the aggressor, but it doesnt mean Ukraine can do borderline things without me calling it borderline.
