Moscow takes its tactic of hitting cities and suppressing Ukraine's population to a deadly new level.

Homes, a maternity hospital, a shopping center, and a metro station were hit as part of the attacks. The attack may have been linked to the destruction of a Russian landing ship in Crimea.

    If you compare Ukraine to Palestine there have been almost 3 times less civilian deaths, 20 times less child death. That’s not percentages but pure death numbers. Ukraine has 25 times the population size of Palestine.

    In percentages israel had killed 50,000% more Palestinian children and about 6000% more Palestinian civilians than Russia has done in Ukraine.

    If Russia was really purely targeting densely populated Ukrainian cities, the civilian death count in Ukraine would be looking a whole lot worse.

    Targeting civilians has never been an effective way to deter an enemy, it just makes them angrier.

      Really? So 14,000 civilians killed and twice as many wounded isn’t good enough for you? Bombing hospitals, schools, shopping malls, markets? And those are just the confirmed numbers from the UN. Real numbers are probably into 6 figures. Yeah, Putin’s just a decent guy spreading merriment I see.
