Russian forces have been employing a tactic of striking crowded areas in Kharkiv over the weekend, aimed at maximizing civilian casualties and instilling fear and chaos. Today, they struck a hardware store, with two confirmed fatalities. A large number of people are reported missing and injured. The fire has engulfed an area of about 15,000 square meters.

What the fck is wrong with this world if it still isn't doing everything possible to ensure Ukraine's victory and protect innocent people?

@iryna The puppet master pulls the russian strings, in the tragedy of "The last pretending monarchs."
Heads off a hydra anyone? Anyone?

@iryna

«This world» doesn't care about protecting innocent people.
«This world» wants to sell and utilize their old weapons, tech and so on. So they could give more money to their military lobby.
Also «this world» wants to buy gas, oil and other natural resources with a huge discounts.

Believe me or not, but if «this world» really wanted, the war wouldn't have even started.

@iryna what do you think it would need to actually win? :( because I can't really see putin backing down on anything you throw at him. Please don't get me wrong on this, I'm absolutely not saying to give up or try to downplay any actions of your people! It's just horrible what happens.

@fabiscafe @iryna

Ukraine's defensive response and the sanctions need to be painful enough for Russia for Putin to be forced to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

We need to get Ukraine everything they need to protect their cities and inflict damage on Russian attackers. Including damaging Russian military buildups outside Ukraine as needed.

@darwinwoodka What's painful enough for a person that pushes his peoples kids to die in war as if its nothing?

@fabiscafe

Making it hurt enough in Moscow and St Petersburg.

Putin isn't sending "his" kids or those of people he cares about. He's also using his war to do a bit of ethnic cleansing of his own country.

@iryna the narrative is that Russian forces have credible claims to nuclear weapons capacity, so gradual force escalation is necessary to contain the war to a single zone - instead of killing everyone on earth.
