Overnight, the Russian army launched 477 drones and 60 missiles of various types, according to the Ukrainian air force; 249 were shot down, while 226 were likely lost due to electronic jamming.
In January 2024, Putin again made statements which suggested, according to the Institute for the Study of War, that his “maximalist objectives in Ukraine” remained unchanged, “which are tantamount to full Ukrainian and Western surrender”. He again called for the overthrow of the Ukrainian government.
It’s not that I didn’t know any of these, it’s just that you just provided sources that debunk your own arguments.
Just few weeks ago Putin said in a speech (rough translation):
Russia is where Russian soldiers foot stepped.
Which is like, one of most fascist things I’ve ever heard. I’ll even provide Russian source:
I think your implication that a strike on Russian oil infrastructure that kills a civilian working there is equivalent to a strike on a Ukrainian apartment building is wack.
I was searching through RIA Novosty feed (ew) for some solid 10 minutes to find at least one mention of someone getting killed in Ukrainian strike at Russian oil bases. They didn’t even bother making up any casualties despite never providing any sources in their Telegram channel and sometimes writing some wildest shit Russian propaganda has to offer.
So even that point is extremely wrong even if one was to play devil’s advocate and say that strike on apartment complex and strike on oil industry (that literally fuels the invasion) are equal. That person just constructed a narrative where Ukraine is to blame for being invaded.
Did you read these articles yourself?

Not to mention Russian denial of the very existence of Ukrainian identity and statehood, which he also did in that same speech.
Man, just read these sources, because you’re repeating Taco Don’s rhetoric about “kids fighting in a sandbox”.
I guess it’s cool to kill civilians when they’re roughnecks?
Strange that you would pretend ignorance up front

I’ve heard Americans say the same about Middle Eastern casualties weighed against Israelis.
Certain people’s lives simply don’t matter.
