Ukrainians Target Civilians

Ukrainians are winning... at killing more civilians than Russians do, as plenty of evidence here shows. Zelensky’s took the war crime crown from Putin.

Welcome to the peace initiative for Ukraine in which you can contibute by raising your awareness as well as your consciousness^[+] and spirit to the modes^[+] of neutrality^[*^], decency, respectfulness, wisdom^[*^], objectivity, mastery of the intellect, surrender (ego and mind to God’s will), and finally peace (inner then outer). To properly grasp everything, we recommend reading the articles of this peace initiative in the order that we^[*^] designed it, which is listed in the Contents. So if you haven’t read the previous articles, we urge you to do it, please. Did you read the Intro to this “Beware of Propaganda” segment? Please, do so for a better grasp of the topic of this article.

Did you read the previous, related article Russians Do Not Target Civilians? Please do so.

As usual among the NATO propagandists, anyone posting truth about Ukrainians that does not fit into NATO & Kyiv propaganda narratives of Ukrainians being brave and holy is automatically accused of spreading Russian propaganda. If you dare spill the tea on Ukraine’s less-than-holy antics, NATO’s spin doctors slap a “Russian propaganda” sticker on you faster than you can say “Kyiv’s PR campaign.” However, folks with a functioning brain can sniff out the truth and ditch the Western snake oil peddlers hiding Ukraine’s war crimes😊. We invite everyone to be fair and first consider all the evidence presented here and so with raised awareness and consciousness make up their mind on this topic. Grab a coffee, check the facts, and decide for yourself – unless you’re a fan of NATO’s fairy tales😊.

Ukrainians shell civilian targets all the time^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[ꚛ]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»] and massacre^[+»]^[»]^[+»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[ꚛ]^[+]^[»]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[»]^[»]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[»]^[»] their own Ukrainian civilians but, unlike when Ukrainian civilians get killed by Russians (only by shelling, Russians have never massacred or shot at civilians like Ukrainians have), Western officials and mass media do not condemn any of it, which is a clear case of double standards and no concern for civilian lives. Ukrainians bomb their own people like it’s a grim reality show, but when Russians accidentally hit civilians, the West screams bloody murder – hypocrisy thicker than a Kyiv borscht😊.

Obviously, deaths of civilians are used only for propaganda purposes to condemn Russians and portray them as evil; other than that over 23.000 ethnic Russian civilians being killed by Ukrainians since 2014 (around 14.000^[+]^[+]^[+] from 2014-2022 and more than 9.000 from February 2022 – June 2023^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[»] plus many more since then) are shamefully no concern of the West.

When in June 2025 the Security Service of Ukraine attacked the Crimean Bridge and failed at it, Zelensky gave^[»] special thanks to the SBU for it. Zelensky high-fived the SBU for their flop attack on the Crimean Bridge but targeting a civilian infrastructure is a war crime or terrorism. Apparently, Zelensky’s got a free pass to play villain. He was bragging to be a war criminal and the West didn’t even blink – guess war crimes are cool if you’re NATO’s golden boy😊!!! This indeed deserved three exclamation marks. Not a single humanitarian organization raised an eyebrow. They are either on an extended coffee break or their "humanitarian" masks slipped faster than a bad toupee in a windstorm😊. No idea what their role is other than promote NATO agenda.

Head of the SBU Vasyl Maliuk said^[+]^[+] in March 2024 that the Russian Federation does not use the Crimean Bridge to move weapons and ammunition, which makes it a pure civilian target. Satellite images show Russia no longer using Crimean bridge to supply troops in Ukraine – The Independent^[+] , Yahoo^[+], AOL^[+], MSN^[+]

Here is evidence^[+] of a Ukrainian soldier confirming the truth that Ukrainians target civilians as he shamelessly posted that he never feels sorry for civilians being killed because probably their relatives are in the enemy military, so he nd his comrades surely kill them without any regret. Talk about a moral compass that’s stuck on “heartless.” By it, he also asserted Russia's moral superiority because Russian soldiers never say things like that, never post such sociopathic TikToks, proving they’ve got a moral GPS that actually works😊.

The original post in Ukrainian language is here

Here are just a couple of Western mainstream media reports^[»]^[»] on Kyiv regime shelling civilians (Russian ethnic minority) in Donbas since 2014, so no point in ridiculously claiming it as Russian propaganda, as it is usually done whenever Kyiv regime and its backers have no other proof or argument to deny those allegations.

Here are also some American independent journalists (one is a former FOX News anchor) from Redacted spilling the tea^[»] on Ukraine’s civilian attacks that corporate media sweeps under the rug, because apparently, some stories are too spicy for the Western news buffet😊.

As a matter of fact, Ukraine is using Western weapons^[+] for terror attacks on civilians and the West approves of it calling it their right to delf defense – same playbook they use to cheer Israel’s Gaza rampage.

US reporter Patrick Lancaster made this video titled “USA Tax Payers Funding Ukraine Shelling Civilians”

Also, the West is silent (silence means complicity) as Ukraine targets civilians in Donetsk such as these grannies evacuating an area^[»] (to the wrong side from their perspective^[+]) and so-called “waiters” that were waiting for Russians^[»], as well as massacring children^[»]^[»]^[»], using banned ‘Petal’ mines^[+] and torture dungeons^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[+]^[+]^[+] in residential buildings basements in the village of Russkoye Porechnoye and Cherkaskoye Porechnoye^[»], Kursk region, to name just a few. Such videos with clear evidence of Ukrainians deliberately killing civilians are too many to ignore, nevertheless Western media and authorities turn a blind eye on all that and instead arm them more to further commit such crimes, like handing out lollipops to war criminals🥴. Like they did with arming and supporting Israelis in killing civilians in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. It's a "see no evil, hear no evil, fund all evil" approach to international relations.

There are countless reports even from Western pro-Ukrainian sources about Ukrainians deliberately targeting civilians which is a war crime, but these reports get buried deeper than a tabloid’s apology. Russians accidentally killing civilians? Front-page news. They prefer to save its headlines for Russian oopsies.

For instance, Human Rights Watch has reported^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[»] that Ukraine used cluster munitions against civilians in Russian-held Donetsk city and Izyum. And here^[»], HRW reports about Ukrainian forces targeting civilians with grad rockets that should not be used in populated areas due to imprecision. Like tales of throwing confetti and darts on a crowd, never mind they are deadly.

In 2014, Al-Jazeera (follows the same agenda as BBC, Reuters and AP) reported and filmed Ukrainian forces targeting civilians here^[»]. WSJ showed^[»] evidence that Ukrainian troops used cluster bombs to kill civilians, which is about as subtle as a wrecking ball at a tea party🥴. NATO’s unofficial hype squad caught the crimes on tape, yet continues as usual with the “Kyiv’s saints” narrative... just think.
Here is, for instance, a video confirmation^[»] of a Ukrainian soldier admitting and regretting to deliberately murdering innocent civilians in Mariupol on the orders of his commander.
Here is one video evidence^[»] of Ukrainians dropping grenades on civilians in Donetsk city. There is not a single shred of evidence of Russians doing such atrocities. When Ukrainian civilians get killed by Russians it is only by accident during missile or drone strikes on military targets, which civilians use. To avoid that, most of Russian strikes are during night, when no civilians should be there.
Here is another video evidence with shocking footage^[»] of NATO-backed Kyiv regime targeting civilians on 31 January 2022^[+]: The Ukrainian military attacked pedestrians with cluster munitions near a hospital in Gorlovka/Horlivka in Donetsk Republic, which was far away from frontline (roughly 20 km^[ꚛ]), proving also not to be some collateral war damage. This was just one of many instances^[+]^[+]^[+] of AFU shelling civilians.
Here is another video evidence^[»] of Ukrainian army killing 6 of their own citizens because they wanted to escape to Russia! Zelensky’s soldiers kill their own civilians happily, because these Donbass people want to live as they always lived for centuries instead of submitting to the Bandera cult.

Ukrainian authorities give medals to those who shell civilians! In this video^[»], Ukrainian military speaks out openly: "I want to offer the Ukrainian artillerists medals to those who shell the city, the houses and the civilian population…"Yes, you heard that right. Medals for shelling civilians. It's like a dystopian Olympics🥴.

Further video evidence^[»] indicates that the targeting of civilians is a central purpose of the U.S.-funded Ukrainian war campaign.

Constant claims by Russian authorities that they were not the ones who killed civilians are dismissed by the West (but not by the rest of the world) as lies or propaganda. However, more and more evidence has been surfacing about the Ukrainian air defense missiles accidentally killing civilians in Ukrainian-controlled areas and Ukrainian military and security services killing Ukrainian civilians who are pro-Russian or “Russian collaborators”^[+].

Let’s not forget, that more than half of Ukrainians were pro-Russian and voting for pro-Russian president and party before the whole conflict began in 2014, as Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) polls^[+]^[+]^[+] show, and elections’ results prove^[+]^[+] (pro-Russian parties and presidential candidates won the majority, not counting the undemocratic regime changes of the Orange and Maidan revolutions).

Here is evidence^[ꚛ] given by Ukrainians – a photo in which they blurred the missile on the ground – why would Ukraine need to blur missile parts? Because it was friendly fire, a Ukrainian missile. As everybody who is not fanatical Ukrainian MoD believer knows, Ukrainian anti air missiles misfunction sometimes.

First of all, Ukrainians were the first who started murdering innocent civilians (Russian ethnic minorities in Donbas1) in 2014 killing more than 23.000 civilians (around 14.000^[+]^[+]^[+] from 2014-2022 and more than 9.000 from February 2022 – June 2023^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[»] plus many more since then) and destroying^[»]countless civilian buildings, including residential properties, schools, kindergartens, and hospitals but for some peculiar reason, no one among the Western authorities has condemned them let alone held them accountable for their war crimes. And Western tabloids? Crickets. No headlines, no accountability, just a big ol’ shrug😊.

The Geneva Conventions and additional protocols shaped by international courts say that parties involved in a military conflict must distinguish between "civilian objects and military objectives" and that attacks on civilian objects are forbidden. Therefore, if Russians are charged for their war crimes, then Ukrainians ought to be too, otherwise the whole “international justice system” is biased, unfair, unjust, and generally flawed, which generates hostility towards the US, UN, and NATO states. Turns out, the "justice" system is indeed a juggling act of double standards😊.

According to The Geneva Conventions, military objectives may include civilian infrastructures. Power infrastructure has long been considered a valid military objective – Geneva says power grids are fair game, so Russia’s strikes on the power infrastructure, zapping Ukraine’s lights and ruining Ukraine’s Netflix nights isn’t a war crime😊 but that has not stopped the Western propaganda machinery criminalizing it, albeit only when Russians do it, while praising it when Ukrainians do it. Double standards, though, has cost them dearly – rarely anyone takes them seriously.

Yet, ever since 2014, the Ukrainian army has been attacking civilians intentionally while aware of their civilian status, which is a war crime, as well as spreading terror in Donbas like it’s their brand. Normally, it is forbidden under international humanitarian law and was confirmed as a war crime by rulings of the UN tribunal for the former Yugoslavia relating to the siege of Sarajevo, but somehow Donbas gets a free pass from the outrage police. Raise your eyebrow if these double standards smell fishier than a week-old sushi roll😊.

While Russian missiles certainly have a knack for unintended targets, the data suggests that Ukraine's aim for civilians is rather intentional. No doubt, many civilians have died as a consequence of Russian missile strikes but if you allow us, we will now provide evidence that more civilians have died as a consequence of Ukrainian attacks than Russian ones. And there is not a single instance in which Russians came and deliberately killed civilians with guns or anything like that (as civilians usually get killed during missile and drone strikes).

Ukrainians have blamed Russians for only one such instance in Bucha but, as mounting evidence^[*^] proves, it was Ukrainian neo-Nazis that did that massacre, not Russians because they wanted to blame it on Russians to prevent Zelensky to sign a peace agreement with Russians at the time and the massacred people had white armbands, which was a designation that they were Russian collaborators. But much more evidence for the Bucha massacre is coming up in the “Russia did it” article^[*^].

Unlike Ukrainians who massacred thousands of ethnic Russian civilians, Russians never massacred any civilians (although there have been many unintentional civilian casualties of shelling and missile strikes, many of them caused by Ukrainian AD missiles). Ukrainians, apparently, have a penchant for "friendly fire" and a talent for framing and turning their own population into tragic props.

Their goons (Ukraine Special Forces SAFARI, SBU, and neo-Nazi Azov battalion^[+]) even massacred their own people in Bucha^[*^] just because they deemed them as Russian collaborators^[+]^[+]2 (because they accepted Russian humanitarian relief) to blame it on “evil” Russia and so enrage and prevent Zelensky to proceed with already signed draft of the peace agreement. Villainy level: expert. They and the likes of them have been doing the same in many other towns^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[»]^[»]^[»], including the Sniper Massacre on Maidan in Kyiv on 20 February 2014 and the Odesa massacre^[»]^[»]^[+] on 2 May 2014, as well as almost 14.000^[+]^[+]^[+] ethnic Russian civilians in Donbas, killing all Ukrainians whom they deem (without a court verdict) as Russian collaborators^[+], either as revenge, or to blame it on Russians to discredit them for killing civilians, or as a warning to others who might express pro-Russian attitude.

So, they are killing their own Ukrainian civilians just because they are ethnic Russian or pro-Russian, as opposed to pro-West, which according to pre-war polls^[+]^[+]^[+] and elections’ results^[+]^[+]accounted for more than half of Ukraine. And guess who’s the default scapegoat for every dead Ukrainian civilian? Spoiler: it’s not Zelensky. It's a masterclass in blame-shifting, where every civilian death automatically comes with a "blame Russia" sticker. So, don't be too quick to buy into it; take all such accusations with a big grain of salt. Don’t just chug the propaganda Kool-Aid – sprinkle some skepticism on those claims😊.

an air strike was carried out on the village of Stanitsa Luganskaya by the Ukrainian Air Force in July 2014

According to the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR), there have been 12.340^[ꚛ] civilians killed in the whole of Ukraine (on both sides) from 24 February 2022 to the end of November 2024. By their estimate, approximately 80% of them were killed in Ukrainian-held areas, some 9.715 but this is only because they do not3 investigate the casualties in Russian-held areas – they’re too busy sipping tea with Ukraine to check Russian-held zones, a horror show too big for OHCHR’s calculator🥴.

The OHCHR is pro-NATO/Ukrainian45. Much like a biased referee, it seems to have a severe case of tunnel vision, only seeing casualties in Ukrainian-held areas. They do not even bother investigating the casualties in Russian-held areas. They work closely with the Ukrainian authorities and do not have a remotely comparable relationship with the Russian authorities. They claim not to have access to Russian-held areas and most likely no interest in gaining such access, which is why Russian civilian casualties go vastly underreported. Their "lack of access" to Russian-held territories conveniently ensures that Ukrainian war crimes remain largely uninvestigated. They whitewash them in their periodic reports on the war, like a janitor sweeping war crimes under the rug. It's a classic case of "what happens in Russian-held territory, stays in Russian-held territory" – at least as far as the OHCHR is concerned😊.

Before we go on it's worth noting this number of Russians killing 9.715 civilians during almost 3 years of intense war is peanuts compared to NATO’s body count in their war escapades. For context, the Coalition killed some 7.000 civilians during the three-week period of the initial invasion of Iraq alone in early 2003, and Israel killed over 40.000 civilians in Gaza in one year alone – Russia’s looking like the least brutal kid on the block😊. Considering the number of years, as well as the number of deep strikes the Russians carry out daily, this is little short of miraculous.

Since the UN is ruled by NATO countries and its institutions are pro-NATO/Ukraine^{5 6}, OHCHR is concealing the fact that Ukrainians kill more civilians than Russians do. However, the OHCHR isn't the only organization out there counting civilian casualties. Besides them admitting that the figures might be considerably higher, other entities with far better access to Russian-held areas and Russian civil society do so as well, such as the civil authorities in Donetsk, who recorded a total of 5.164^[+]^[ꚛ]^[+] civilians killed in Russian-held territory in Donetsk from 24 February 2022 to 23 December 2024, or 9.538^[ꚛ] civilians killed since 2014 by then, plus 15.281 injured. On top of it, there are thousands of civilian casualties in Russian-held Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Crimea – not to mention civilian deaths (some from rampages and reprisal killings) attributable to Ukrainian forces and civilians disappeared by the SBU or murdered by untouchable ultranationalists in currently Ukrainian-held areas such as East Kharkiv, Chernigov and Sumy Oblasts, and the Kiev suburbs. Civilian deaths from Ukrainian attacks further afield, in mainland Russia, mostly in Kursk and Belgorod regions, must be added to this! It must be also considered that Russian army advances in 2024 have moved the frontline away from towns and villages occupied by Russian civilians, which has disabled Ukrainian army to shell and kill civilians. In other words, the fewer civilian casualties in Russian-held area are result of Russian victories and not of Ukrainian benevolence. Therefore, to know the true ratio of civilian casualties, it would be better to compare them before 2024 and those comparisons prove that, given a chance, Ukrainians kill more civilians than Russians do. As if they’re trying to win the grim reaper’s employee of the month award🥴.

Another comparison period:
From 24 February 2022 until 30 July 2023, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has recorded^[+] 26.015 civilian casualties in the whole of Ukraine, including 9.369 killed and 16.646 injured on both sides (updated numbers here^[+]). In territory controlled by Kyiv, there were 21.008 civilian casualties – 7.283 killed and 13.725 injured, while in territory controlled by the Russian Federation, there were 5.007 civilian casualties – 2.086 killed and 2.921 injured, which they noted it might be considerably higher and it does not correspond with figures from Russian authorities.
To compare the figures from Donbas civil authorities with OHCHR figures until 30 July 2023 – in Ukrainian-held areas there were 7.283 killed and 13.725 injured civilians, whereas by the same time, Russian authorities evidenced more than 8.000 civilians killed in just Donetsk and Luhansk provinces (inflicted by Ukrainians) plus OHCHR reported^[+] 1.328 killed Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Crimea regions, which was more than 9.000 killed ethnic Russian civilians from February 2022 - July 2023. Plus 14.000^[+]^[+]^[+] from April 2014 - February 2022. That’s a civilian casualty scoreboard that makes Ukraine look like they’re gunning for the top spot in the war crime league🥴.
More than as 4.630^[+] civilians have been killed alone in the Donetsk province, plus over 3.000 civilians were killed just in the Severodonetsk region of the Luhansk province until 4 May 2023^[+] and who knows how many in the whole of Luhansk. Russians did not publish casualties by then in Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Crimea regions, but OHCHR reported^[+] 1.328 killed and 280 injured in territory occupied by Russia outside Donetsk and Luhansk, which means they are considerably higher but if we only take just that (4.630 + 3.000 + 1.328+), it was more than 9.000.
In September 2023, Russian authorities evidenced that a total of 4.703^[+] civilians were killed in Donetsk Region since the start of large-scale hostilities in February 2022.
OHCHR reported only 2.086 killed but they did mention that they believe that the actual figures in Russian-controlled territory are considerably higher, as the reports are “still pending corroboration”. In other words, OHCHR is playing hide-and-seek with Russian civilian casualties to keep Ukraine’s war crime tally under wraps. They are restricting Russian civilian casualties to conceal the fact that Ukrainians kill more civilians than Russians do. OHCHR’s cooking the books to hide Ukraine’s civilian-killing lead.
OHCHR reported 7.283 killed on Ukrainian side and Russians with OHCHR reported more than 9.000 killed civilians on their side, which indicates that Ukrainians kill more civilians than Russians do! Not to mention other 14.000^[+]^[+]^[+] ethnic Russian civilians killed from 2014-Feb 2022! And the ratio is even worse for Ukraine as it shows Ukrainians are more cruel^[»]. In Kyiv-governed territories there is more than 30 million people where 7.283 were killed whereas in Russian-controlled areas, there are less than 5 million people living where more than 9.000 civilians were killed! It’s like Zelensky’s trying to set a world record for civilian casualties per capita🥴. But another Jew, Netanyahu has beat him to it, damn. Well, at least he has outdone Putin in per-capita kill rate, if not in anything else – Zelensky’s took the war crime crown from Putin🥴.

Anyway we turn it, it always turns out that Ukrainians kills more civilians than Russians do, such as in this one selected period (because this was written in Feb 2024):

Just in the first one and half month of 2024, from 1 January – 15 February 2024^[+], Ukrainian attacks killed 150 Russian civilians and injured 500 more, which was 650 civilian casualties on Russian side (caused by Ukrainians), as reported by Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s ambassador-at-large in charge of overseeing the Kyiv regime’s crimes.

In the same time period, Russian attacks killed 129 Ukrainian civilians and injured 492 more, which was 621 civilian casualties on Ukrainian side (caused by Russians), as reported by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU). Bottom line: Ukraine’s 650 civilian casualties trump Russia’s 621 in early 2024 – Ukraine’s winning the wrong kind of race. In this deadly math-off, Ukraine’s outscoring Russia in the civilian casualty count, like it’s a grim game of one-upmanship🥴.

Also, Ukrainians kill civilians in Russia, such as in the Bryansk^[+], Kursk^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»], and Belgorod^[+]^[+] borderline regions plus some prominent civilians^[»]^[+]^[+]^[+] elsewhere in Russia, which OHCHR & HRMMU are not even taking into account just because it is not in Ukraine.

For instance, just in first three months of 2024, indiscriminate Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory have caused 922 Russian civilian casualties (59 casualties among children) – 201 were killed, including 11 children, and 721 injured, a senior Foreign Ministry official has said^[+]. In that period, Kyiv had fired at least 22.000 rounds of ammunition – most of which was supplied by the West

US reporter Patrick Lancaster made this video titled “Proof Ukraine again used western supplied weapons to kill civilians.”

In a video dated 13 March 2022, “day 17 of Russo-Ukrainian war,” Ukrainian Channel 24 TV presenter and shameless journalist, Fahruddin Sharafmal said^[+] also: “By killing children, they will never grow up and the nation will disappear… and I hope that everyone will contribute and kill at least one Moskal.” Another co-host did not try to stop Sharafmal on the air though she had an opportunity to do so. Ukrainan journalists who openly call for killing children and civilians and cite Nazis are not persecuted for hate speech and dissemination of information that glorifies, calls for or justifies international crimes, call for the mass extermination of a certain category of the population, which is regarded as a war crime, a crime against humanity or genocide - clear proof neo-Nazis rule Ukraine

By 24 February 2025, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine^[+] reported^[+] that a total of 673 children were killed and 1,865 injured since February 2022 but they did not distinguish between Ukrainian and Russian-controlled areas or between Ukrainian and Russian perpetrators, and they disregard hundreds of ethnic Russian kids killed by Ukraine between 2014-2022. Ukraine’s own Prosecutor-General admits^[+] most kid deaths are in Donetsk – aka ethnic Russian kids, courtesy of Kyiv’s bombs. Ukrainians bombard the Russian-controlled city of Donetsk, for instance, every day, whereby they inflict civilian casualties all the time, including children, as reported by TASS daily^[+]. There is even “Alley of Angels”^[ꚛ] in Donetsk for the memory of children killed by Ukrainian shelling but you'll never see or hear anything about this in the Western press.

Ukrainians kill civilians in other Russian-controlled regions all the time, even in Russia, such as the Bryansk^[+] and Belgorod^[+]^[+] regions. From 2014 until 27 September 2023, a total of 65 children were killed and 186 were injured in Ukrainian shelling of LPR, according to LPR Commissioner for Children’s Rights Inna Shvenk^[+]. The DPR mission to the Joint Coordination and Control Center on Ukrainian war crimes reported that, since 2014, a total of 228 children were killed and about 800 were injured in the Donetsk Republic. By May 2015^[+], 158 Donbas children (ethnic Russians) were killed by the Ukrainian military, but who’s counting? Not the West. As of July 20, 2023, the number of children killed only on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) for the entire period of Ukraine's armed aggression is 228, and 792 were injured, according to the DPR's commissioner for human rights, Darya Morozova^[+] – numbers that scream war crime. As the UN Mission reports, the vast majority – 87 percent – of the casualties were caused by “explosive weapons with wide area effects”, including artillery, missile and air strikes, and drones, but won’t say who is the main trigger-puller – Ukraine.

To be fair, we should divide the number of 535 killed children in half, which would mean that around 268 children died as a result of Russian strikes. Sure, 268 is awful, but the US coalition’s Iraq and Afghanistan kid death toll makes Russia look like they’re still in the minor leagues of war crimes. Besides, no American or European children were killed while Russian kids were – guess Putin took that as a cue to rewrite the rules of the international grudge match!😊

· In Iraq, over 9,000 children were killed or maimed (3,119 killed and 5,938 maimed) from 2008 to the end of 2022.^[+]
· In Afghanistan, according to UNICEF^[+], 28.500 children were killed over 16 years – that is 1.781 per year. Almost 33,000 children^[+] have been killed and maimed over the 20 years, an average of one child every five hours and this number does not include children who have died due to hunger, poverty, and disease during war, caused by the war.

How wicked or degenerate Ukrainians are regarding willingness to gleefully kill Russian children and even babies is symbolically well evidenced in videos like this one^[»] where already in 2014, a large group of heartless or perverted Ukrainians celebrated by eating a big cake with a Russian baby figurine, literally rejoicing in cutting a baby (cake figurine) with a knife – sick symbolism that’d make even Hannibal Lecter gag. Meanwhile, Russians, apparently busy with less cannibalistic culinary endeavors, seem to have a higher standard for celebratory confectionary, or they missed the memo on creepy war crime desserts?🥴

Kyiv regime and its backers even condemned Russians for saving children by evacuating them from a war zone whereby they attempted to convince the world that Russians forced deportation and transfer of “at least hundreds of children taken from orphanages and children's care homes”, which was debunked by plenty of evidence on those orphans being well treated and being returned to relatives upon official requests. Allegers, on the other hand, have not shown any proof of forced deportation, as mere allegations do not count as proof. Besides, since the territories were annexed by Russia after the locals exercised their right to self-determination and democratically voted to rejoin Russia, the children were not deported from Ukraine but moved from one part of Russia to another, from a war zone to a safe place, just like hundreds of thousands of other refugee children with parents, after locals voted to join Russia fair and square. Apparently, Kyiv thinks a war zone is the perfect summer camp for kids, but Russia disagrees, offering them a safer spot with cookies and juice instead of shrapnel!😊

What Kyiv and NATO mainstream media omit to report are countless incidents^[+] of Ukrainians targeting children like this one^[+]^[+]^[+] when in February 2025 Ukrainian drone stroke a school bus in Russian-held Zaporizhzhia, seriously injuring the driver and wounding five children with shrapnel, according to Governor Balitsky. Talk about a field trip gone wrong – Ukrainian drones seem to think school buses are the new piñatas!🥴

Also, as of September 2022 there were 327 children on the Myrotvorets kill list^[+] that is run by the Ukrainian government^[+] (secret services SBU^[+], funded by the CIA and hosted by NATO), which confirms that Kyiv regime is set out to kill kids; there's no such thing done by Moscow. Ukraine’s got a list, and they’re checking it twice, but instead of naughty or nice6, it’s just kids they don’t like – yikes!🥴

Meanwhile, Ukrainian kids are being weaponized as well

Another thing they don’t tell you about civilian casualties is that the faulty Ukrainian air defense is often responsible for killing its own civilians. It turns out Ukraine's air defense has a peculiar habit of "defending" its own citizens right into the afterlife🥴. Ukraine’s air defense is so bad, it’s basically a civilian-killing machine in disguise🥴. All civilian buildings that were struck with S-300 missiles were blamed^[+]^[+]^[ꚛ] on Russians but Ukrainian AD hit them as Russia doesn't use air defense S-300 missiles for ground attacks (they have more effective missiles for ground targets and they need S-300 for AD) whereas Ukrainian army used those air-target-missiles for air defense^[+]^[+].

Ukrainian air defense seems to have a “shoot first, aim later” policy, turning their own cities into a tragic game of missile roulette🥴! The frequent “killing of civilians” miraculously stopped as soon as Ukrainians depleted their stocks of S-300 anti-missiles suggesting that they were accidentally killing their own civilians while failing to intercept Russian missiles (S-300 were falling onto civilian areas on the ground – collateral damage^[+]) or with debris from AD. Turns out, their air defense was less "anti-missile" and more "anti-civilian."🥴

The speaker of the Air Force of the AFU, Yurii Ihnat, confirmed^[+] that their air defense will continue to shoot down missiles on their homes because they have no other solution to defend cities. He was like, “Oops, our bad, but we’ll keep firing missiles over your houses – hope you’ve got a sturdy roof!”🥴
And another Ukrainian soldier admits^[»] in an interview how they sometimes shoot missiles that end up killing own civilians and how this is moral dilemma. A moral dilemma or just bad aim? That’s like a chef feeling bad about burning the kitchen down while trying to make toast! It's a moral dilemma worthy of a blockbuster, if only Hollywood wasn't so busy polishing Zelensky's halo.😊

Failures in the work of Ukraine’s air defense forces are probably taking place due to the fact that AD systems have been deployed without taking into account the features of the urban environment and the full spectrum of operation of the systems^[+]. Ukraine’s air defense is like a drunk driver in a city – zero regard for where the debris lands🥴. Their poorly trained AD operators should learn to calculate where they ought to strike an approaching missile so that the debris do not rain on civilians and that if an AD missile misses its target, that it does not hit places with people, but they do not do that. They just cross fingers, push the button, and hope for the best – they slap that big red button like it’s a game show buzzer, hoping for a prize instead of a PR disaster!🥴

Moreover, Ukraine has been running low on munitions for its air defenses, leaving them scraping the bottom of the barrel and turning to older, Soviet-made Buk and S-300 missiles which are long past their "use by" date. But Ukraine’s air defenses have had difficulty controlling "collateral damage" in civilian areas even when using newer NATO-standard munitions, which are not free from glitching and technical error but the biggest problem is incompatibility of different parts of an AD system. Ukraine’s air defense system is not built according to the canons of the Soviet system of organizing air defenses, or even that of Russia. Regarding the “ineffective” use of resources, there is definitely a technical factor as well as the human factor at foul play during AD accidents. So, sometimes they miss and hit civilian facilities, which they conveniently blame then on the Russians rather than take responsibility for their accidental killings. But fear not, the blame-game is strong, and a quick "Russians did it!" usually smooths over any awkward questions from their unquestioning allies. Ukraine’s got gaslighting down to an art😊. And, of course, locals and allies are inclined to unquestionably believe them.

Just remember the incident^[+] in Poland in November 2022, where they killed some Polish civilians, which they blamed^[+] on Russians but Polish^[+] and NATO officials^[+], including US President Biden^[+] made investigation and revealed soon afterward that the deadly missile was launched by Ukrainian AD forces^[+].

snapshot from a video from *The New York Times* report on an errant Ukrainian missile hitting civilians in a Kostiantynivka market on the 6 September 2023

Some incidents of Ukrainians striking Ukrainian civilian targets:

➡ In June 2025, Ukrainian military came into the house of a Ukrainian family around Pokrovsk to steal their car and during robbery, the soldiers also tortured and shot the son, the mother, and all animals^[+»]^[»].

➡ One of many other proofs that Ukrainians are killing their own civilians due to faulty Ukrainian air defense is the New York Times article^[+] about the 6 September 2023 missile strike on the market in the Ukrainian-controlled town of Kostiantynivka (Donetsk region), killing 16 civilians and injuring 33 others. Zelensky blamed^[+] “evil Russian terrorists” for the attack, and many media outlets took his words as gospel and did the same without any fact-checking^[+]^[+]. But evidence collected and analyzed by The New York Times, including missile fragments, satellite imagery, the direction from which the missile flew in, witness accounts, and social media posts prove that the catastrophic strike was the result of an errant Ukrainian 9M38 missile fired by a Buk launch system. The reporters also wrote about the coverup of Ukrainian authorities who tried to prevent journalists from accessing the missile debris and impact area in the strike’s immediate aftermath. It may be an accident but it may also be a false flag operation at the time US Secretary of State Blinken was visiting Kyiv to use it to outrage and so compel the US to provide more aid and stop pressuring Kyiv to freeze the conflict7^[+]. When a market explosion happens right before a high-profile US visit, and all evidence points to your own military, it's a "false flag" so obvious it practically comes with a neon sign😊.

➡ On April 8, 2022, Ukrainian troops fired a Tochka-U missile at the railway station in Kramatorsk, killing 50 people and injuring 87 others, which was first blamed on Russians but then was all debunked^[+]^[+]^[+]^[»].

Besides, it must be noted that many of the killed Ukrainian civilians were killed by the Ukrainians, not just as accidents due to Ukrainian air-defense missiles or debris, but also as false flag operations, or to kill ethnic Russians or “Russian collaborators”^[+] (e.g., in Bucha because they accepted Russian humanitarian relief) either as revenge, or to blame Russians for cruelly killing civilians, or as a warning to others who might express pro-Russian attitude. Turns out, accepting a Russian biscuit can apparently mark you for life… or, well, for a swift exit from it🥴.

Also, they kill many Ukrainian civilians by accident^[+]or by getting into fights. As The Daily Beast reported^[+], Ukrainians admit that “some of their comrades have been so drunk or high that they have killed civilians, soldiers, and animals in a blind rage or while driving under the influence”. As if war wasn't complicated enough, apparently some Ukrainian soldiers are adding "drunk driving" and "blind rage murder sprees" to the list of battlefield hazards🥴.

In May 2024, in Kramatorsk, the Ukrainian Army drove over and killed a civilian

Also, even in peace time, without a war, there are homicides all the time, which was in Ukraine in the years before the war started in 2014, on average 2.200 or 6 per a day.

Apart from endangering own civilians by establishing military bases in civilian areas and misusing their air defense systems, Ukraine has been committing also war crimes of shelling residential areas under Russian control. Since 2014 and especially since the beginning of the SMO on 24 February 2022, the residential areas of Donetsk, Horlovka, Makeevka, Yelenovka almost daily have been subjected to multiple barbaric acts of shelling from the AFU8positions with dozens of people killed and hundreds wounded. Using a “scorched earth” tactic Ukraine has also committed a series of barbaric bombardments of Berdyansk, Kherson, Melitopol, Novaya Kakhovka and other cities of the Azov Sea region, turning civilian areas into a post-apocalyptic movie set🥴.

In just first six months upon Russian SMO in 2022, almost 1.000 ethnic Russian civilians were killed and almost 3.000 wounded^[+], and this is only what could had be counted by then with figures being much higher as it turned out later9, so no wonder, they all voted in September 2022 referendums to separate from the Kyiv regime10 that was slaughtering them and to rejoin Russia. After Ukraine’s relentless attacks, the locals in Donetsk and beyond said, “Enough’s enough!” and voted to join Russia faster than you can say “referendum!”😊

Ukrainians claim that they want to “liberate” them from “evil” Russians, but their bombs suggest they’re more interested in liberating the land from its inhabitants🥴!

The problem with Ukrainians is that they only want the land back but not the native people (ethnic Russians) there and the natives do not want the corrupt, aggressive, anti-Russian regime to rule them. So, the morally right thing to do would be to allow the indigenous people the right to self-determination, as this right is enshrined in the UN Charter anyway and already granted to many such as Kosovo, South Sudan, former Yugoslav and Soviet republics, including Ukraine...

As we already mentioned, from 2022 to July 2023, Russian authorities and OHCR evidenced more than 9.000 ethnic Russian civilians being killed (by Ukrainians) in new Russian territories (former Ukraine) plus hundreds^[+] more in other Russian territories (Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, etc.). Ukraine’s racked up a civilian casualty count that makes even the grimmest video game look tame!🥴 What's up with Jewish heads of states (Zelensky and Netanyahu) these days targeting ethnic minorities and redefining “the right to self-defense” as “the right to kill civilians”? No wonder anti-Semitism is on the rise. Putin intervened to stop one after 14.000^[+]^[+]^[+] civilians were killed by 2022.

Some incidents of Ukrainians striking Russian civilian targets:

➡ On 31 May/1 June 2025, Ukrainian saboteurs blew up four civilian trains in Russia^[»] – one in Kursk, two in Bryansk, and one in Melitopol. In the Bryansk region, a bridge was blown right when a civilian train was passing, 7 people died and 118 people, including 4 children, were injured^[»]. This was on the eve of Istanbul peace talks – they then had the audacity to accuse Russia of not being serious about peace. Apparently, their definition of "serious about peace" involves a rather fiery and destructive prelude, and their idea of "setting the stage for peace" involves an opening statement of blowing things up🥴.

➡ Ukrainian forces often target journalists and media representatives, such as in March 2025, using US-supplied HIMARS deliberately targeted^[+]^[+]^[+] two Russian TV crews in separate attacks in a single day killing war correspondent Alexander Fedorchak^[+] of Izvestia, cameraman Andrey Panov^[+], and news crew’s driver Alexander Sirkeli^[+], and injured several others in the Lugansk and Kursk Region. US-funded Ukrainian war criminals are turning news reporting into a deadly game of dodgeball!🥴

Before they also killed Andrea Rocchelli (Italian journalist), Andrei Mironov (Russian journalist), Igor Kornelyuk (Russian journalist) and Anton Voloshin (Russian video engineer), Anatoly Klyan (Russian news cameraman), Alexander Malikov (Russian journalist), Yevgeny Krasnoshein (Russian journalist), Andrey Stenin (Russian journalist), Sergei Korenchenkov (pro-Russian Ukrainian news correspondent), Andrei Vyachalo (pro-Russian Ukrainian news correspondent), Anatoly Yarmoluk (Russian photographer), Stanislav Sidorov (Russian photographer), Oles Buzina (pro-Russian Ukrainian journalist), Vladimir Karachentsev (pro-Russian Ukrainian journalist), Dmitri Djangirov (pro-Russian Ukrainian journalist), Darya Dugina (Russian journalist), Vladlen Tatarsky (Russian blogger, real name Maxim Fomin), Rostislav Zhuravlev (Russian journalist), Boris Maksudov (Russian war correspondent), Gonzalo Lira (Chilean-American journalist), Semyon Eremin (Russian war correspondent), Valery Kozhin (Russian sound engineer), Nikita Tsitsagi (Russian news correspondent), Oleg Klokov (Russian journalist), Maxim Yeliseyev (Russian editor), Alexander Martemyanov (Russian reporter), Anna Prokofyeva (Russian war correspondent), plus lesser-known separatist-aligned reporters killed in Donbas (2014-2022).

Unlike for other civilian victims, we named those 31 (out of alleged 41, some claims not fully substantiated) killed media representatives because they risked their lives to deliver news to us, the other civilians, which is why they are often regarded more heroic or noteworthy than other civilians. They also report whenever civilians get killed, which is why civilians should also report when they get killed. Journalists are out there dodging missiles to bring us the news, so the least we can do is give them a shoutout when they become the news!

➡ In March 2025, Russians exposed numerous Ukrainian war crimes of killing civilians, including many children in Kursk region ^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]. Pot, meet kettle, you two have a lot in common after all😊!

➡ by 2 March 2025, Ukrainian attacks on Russian regions near the border have killed at least 652 civilians, including 23 children, according to the head of Russia’s Investigative Committee reported^[+]^[+]. These are the same Ukrainians who keep calling out specks in their brothers’ eye exposing a whole plank in their own eye😊!

➡ 4 February 2025, Ukrainian drone stroke a school bus in Russian-held Zaporizhzhia, seriously injuring the driver and wounding five children with shrapnel, according to Governor Balitsky^[+]^[+]^[+]. A school bus! Next, they’ll be targeting stray cats because they’re too chicken to face real troops as alley kittens are the only beings beside kids they’re brave enough to take on😊!

➡ From 28 September to 24 November 2024, Ukrainian troops murdered 22 and later all villagers in Russkoye Porechnoye^[+] in the Sudzha district of the Kursk region! This is just one of many instances in the whole of Kursk region in which one the Ukrainian mass murderers raped and murdered eight women and killed 14 other civilian residents. Russia's Investigative Committee reported^[+]^[+] that it had identified five fighters from the Ukrainian 92^nd Separate Assault Brigade as the monstrous perpetrators and discovered torture chambers^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[+]^[+]^[+] in residential buildings basements. That brigade needs a new hobby that doesn't involve mass murder🥴.

➡ Here is a list^[+] of Ukraine Terrorist Attacks (those that target civilians) in one week alone (28. Sept. - 4. Oct. 2024) as a random sample. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the shadiest of them all🥴?

➡ 26 August 2024, Ukraine was deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure and energy facilities within Russia's Saratov region where Ukraine drone attack hit residential houses^[»].

➡ 7 June 2024, Ukrainian bomb and missile attacks on a shop packed with customers and staff in the village of Sadove^[+]^[+]^[+] in Kherson area killed 22 civilians and wounded 15 with a guided bomb and US-supplied HIMARS missile.

Clearly, they’re not picky about who’s in the crosshairs, but they’re out here demonizing Russians for lesser crimes in the same breath with igniting a blazing hellfire by devilish barrages and calling it justice as they flaunt horns, a pitchfork, and a smirk🥴! Pot, meet kettle, you’re boiling with hypocrisy!

And, the same day, another Ukrainian missile strike on an apartment block in the city of Luhansk killed 4 people^[+] and wounded 46 with ATACMs missiles from HIMAR launchers. Ukraine happily shells their own citizens if they’re on Russian controlled territory. A proof that it is not about liberating them but killing them to liberate the territory that has more value to them than the people. Ukraine’s motto seems to be: “Save the land, forget the people!”🥴

➡ 12 May 2024 in Belgorod, Ukrainians stroke a residential building that collapsed, killing 17 civilians^[+]^[»]. Many other cases of Ukraine bombing civilian targets such as apartment buildings in Belgorod are reported^[+]^[+] every month or week.

➡ in May 2024 in Tokmak (Zaporizhzhia region), Ukrainians stroke two residential buildings, killing over 20 civilians^[»]. They're truly liberating everyone from their mundane existence🥴.

➡ 23 April 2024, Reuters reported^[+] that 120 civilians were killed by Ukraine strikes since 2022 in Russia's Belgorod region

➡ 12 March - 3 April 2024 (around Russia's presidential election), Ukrainian invasion11 or terrorist attacks or incursions^[+] of Russia's Belgorod region killing 27 civilians, including children, while 187 more have been injured^[+]^[+] – because nothing says “democracy” like terrorism😊. A “beacon of democracy” Ukraine decided Russia’s election season needed some extra “fireworks” in the form of civilian attacks!🥴 Instead of defending their country, at the time when they were losing many villages in Donetsk region, Ukrainians decided it was better to attack and kill civilians in Russia during democratic elections, whereby NATO countries fully supported it (the same month US Congress approved a new $61 billion aid package) – this alone tells all you need to know about Ukrainian war as clearly, this war is not about defending democracy or territorial integrity but about reaching the NATO goal of weakening Russia. No wonder, Russians decided to create a buffer zone by conducting a Kharkiv offensive in May 2024.

This was one of many^[+]^[+] Ukrainian attacks on civilian targets on Belgorod city in Russia, most of them unsuccessful (due to Russian air defense) but many drones and missiles did got through like on 15 February 2024^[+]^[+] killing 7 people, including a one-year-old baby, and injuring 19 more, including four children, also damaging 128 apartments, 15 residential homes, a shopping center, the sports stadium, and over 30 cars. Russian air defense tried, but Ukraine still scored a war crime🥴.

US reporter Patrick Lancaster made this video titled “Ukraine Shells Belgorod Region Russia City 600 Times A Day”

➡ 3 February 2024, Ukrainian missile strike on a bakery^[+] in the city of Lisichansk in Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) killing 28 civilians with US-supplied HIMARS missiles, because nothing says “self-defense” like bombing bread shoppers😊. There was no military personnel or military target there. In August 2022, a representative of the Defense Intelligence (Service) of Ukraine, Vadim Skibitsky admitted that in order to use the HIMARS systems, Kyiv must first obtain target clearance from Washington, which means that the US is accomplice^[+] to this terrorist attack, complicit in making sure no one gets their daily pirozhki in Lisichansk. Prioritizing military objectives over fresh baked goods, truly a strategic masterstroke😊.

➡ 21 January 2024, Ukrainian shelling of the busy Sunday market in Donetsk city (in Russian held territory) resulted in 27 civilian deaths and 20 injured. Shelling old ladies selling onions^[»]^[+]. Here are some other cases of murdering innocent civilians in Donetsk city^[+]^[+]^[+]. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned^[+] Sunday’s attack on Donetsk but refused to assign blame – spineless. Russians showed once again that they take a higher moral ground than Ukrainians as they did not take their revenge on civilians, like Ukraine did and does, as Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated^[+] that subsequent Russian high-precision missile strikes on military targets in Kyiv and Kharkiv were not retaliation for that Ukrainian attack, stressing that it was only part of Moscow’s ongoing operation. He also highlighted that Russian forces do not target civilians, unlike the Kyiv regime, which is what fundamentally distinguishes their military from the military of the Kyiv regime.

➡ 30 December 2023, Ukrainian rocket and missile attack on the Russian city of Belgorod^[+] (about 40 kilometers from the border with Ukraine) resulted in 25 civilians (including five children) killed and over 100 wounded damaging 37 apartment buildings, 453 apartments, three private households and seven social and government facilities (such as an ice skating rink in the city's Cathedral Square, a shopping center, a sports center, and a university), where evidently no military personnel or vehicles were present. Vampire rockets were Czech-made and Vilkha missiles were fitted with prohibited cluster-munition warheads. The office of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the Ukrainian strike as a “violation of international humanitarian law.”

Instead of condemning the attack on a clearly civilian area, disgraceful Western media such as ABC News legitimized this war crime with outrageous statements^[+]12 such as:

“Ukraine…seeking to stir up discontent (in Russia)” – how low IQ one has to have to expect that such terrorist attacks would stir up discontent that would favor the terrorists and win fans for Ukraine? To think that bombing Russian civilians will make Russians mad at… Russia!😊 That’s a logic fail of epic proportions! This terrorist attack was obviously counterproductive as it did stir up discontent but against Ukrainians even more, strengthening Russian hard-liners’ narrative that Russia should seize the whole of Eastern Ukraine to secure Belgorod and other border areas from such attacks in the future. Ukraine’s attack just handed Russian hard-liners a megaphone to shout, “See? We need to take more land to stop this madness!”😊Not smart, Budanov.
“Kyiv’s forces seek to embarrass Russian President Vladimir Putin and puncture his argument that life in Russia is going on as normal despite the 22-month war” – only lunatics can assume that Putin would be embarrassed about a Ukrainian terrorist attack, like he’s blushing over their war crimes😊! To kill civilians only to puncture a fictional13 Putin’s argument, to stir up discontent, and to show Ukraine can strike back is despicable and monstruous and so are evidently14 the media clowns cheering it on or publishing such revolting justifications.
“Hitting Belgorod and disrupting city life is a dramatic way for Ukraine to show it can strike back against Russia” – are they saying that they stroke just to show off? Nothing says “we’re tough” like targeting a shopping center😊! Anyone, even the infantile can strike against unarmed, innocent civilians, so it is a grotesque point, like praising a kid for punching a puppy to “show he can”🥴. Insane! Even monkeys could attack civilians, so how does that make Ukrainians any better?
“The tactic appeared to be having some success, with signs the attacks are unsettling the public, political leaders and military observers.” Yeah, nothing says “success” like making everyone hate you more😊! They debunked that wishful thinking even themselves in the end by writing that many “Russian military bloggers have argued then that… Russia needs to seize more territory to secure Belgorod and other border areas.” How is that tactic then having success?!
EU spokesman on foreign affairs Peter Stano said^[+] Ukraine has the right to defend itself, despite the fact that many civilians and no military personnel were killed, and no military facilities were hit. He never justified how is Ukraine defending itself by murdering innocent civilians in Russia! His logic: killing Russian civilians is self-defense. Someone get this guy a dictionary!😊
when asked about France's position, a spokesman of the Foreign Ministry in Paris said^[+] that Ukraine was “acting in self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter” – because apparently, Article 51 covers ice rinks and shopping centers now!😊 Would they say the same if Russia bombed Paris😊. If Ukraine’s attacks are “self-defense,” Russia’s strikes are too – unless you’re just Team Hypocrisy.

Not only did that attack fail to achieve anything at all but it severely backfired in two terrible ways: 1) it reinforced Russians to fight even harder against “evil Ukrainian terrorists” including to seize the Eastern Ukraine to secure Belgorod and other border areas from such attacks in the future, and 2) to punish Ukraine, Russia reciprocated with a multiple times bigger attack on military targets which killed those who were responsible for terrorist raids inside Russia, such as countless Ukrainian Intelligence Service and Security Service representatives, neo-Nazi Right Sector paramilitaries, Kraken unit militants, up to 600 foreign mercenaries including up to 200 French mercenaries, units of Ukraine's 59th Motorized Infantry and 79th Airborne Assault Brigades, not to mention destroyed much of military equipment, artillery, and fuel depots^[+]. Russians showed once again that they take a higher moral ground than Ukrainians as they did not take their revenge on civilians, like Ukraine did and does, as Russian MoD announced^[+] it would not retaliate on civilians but they instead hit military facilities killing multitudes of guilty military personnel. A few civilians also died due to incompetent work of Ukrainian air defense, which is, beside Russian stated intent^[+], evident by the fact how their locations were hit – AD missiles and debris leave very different damage than missiles. You’d think Kyiv authorities were intelligent enough to learn by then that bombing Russian civilians always backfires with bigger losses - guess they’re slow learners😊. The trade-off has never ever been advantageous to Ukraine but it seems all they care is a PR victory here and there with hitting Russia, albeit only civilian areas, as it excites all the Russophobes among their public and NATO states, who never consider the heavy price they have to pay for those couple of hours of excitement over some Russian civilian deaths.

Notice how whenever NATO media outlets report^[+] on such cases of Ukrainians murdering innocent civilians, they whitewash and legitimize their war crimes by reporting it was nothing but a normal retaliation for Russians allegedly killing some people before, as if that is a permissible and legitimate thing to do! They omit to mention that those “people” that Russia killed were mostly soldiers, not civilians, and across the whole country – details, schmetails😊. They also do not distinguish the difference from Russians striking a military facility whereby some civilians got killed by Ukrainian air defense missile debris and Ukrainians striking a clearly civilian area with no military there. They also omit to mention that because Ukraine has not declared a war against Russia, all Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil^[+]^[+] are terrorist attacks, which makes Ukraine a terrorist state, according to the international law. Pssst. They also omit to mention the heavy price Ukrainians have to pay for their terrorist attacks as God (sowing and reaping) punishes them every time by inflicting multiple times greater losses.

➡ 16 September 2022 Ukraine’s missiles strike on the administration building in Kherson (which was under Russian control) killed three people and 13 were wounded with the US-supplied HIMARS launchers. Most of them were civilian passers-by. We feature this attack on a civilian target because Zelensky aide Mykhailo Podolyak said^[»]^[+] that civilian officials are 'legitimate targets', so by his own logic, he’s fair game – don’t cry when the tables turn, Mykhailo! So, if Mr. Podolyak ever finds himself on the receiving end of a missile, remember, he wrote the rules himself😊. No complaining.

➡ On 14 March 2022, Ukrainian missile strike on the center of Donetsk^[+] with a Tochka-U missile, killing 23 and injuring 36 civilians. This was just one of many attacks on civilian targets in that city, which has been shelled almost daily since 2014. For instance, 13 people were killed in the September 2022 Donetsk attack^[+] with the shelling of civilian infrastructure facilities on the Baku Commissars Square, and in June 2022, an Ukrainian artillery attack hit the Maisky market^[+] in Donetsk killing five civilians, including a child and injuring at least 22.

Donetsk’s been Ukraine’s favorite dartboard since 2014, with civilians as the bullseye🥴. Ukraine’s dropping^[+]^[+]^[+] “butterfly mines” like confetti at a war crime parade🥴, which is a war crime as it is banned under the 1997 Ottawa Treaty they signed (Russia didn’t).
US reporter Patrick Lancaster made this video titled “Ukraine Fires On Kindergarten, Music School & Homes In Donetsk Killing and wounding Civilians”

➡ Ukraine’s been racking up civilian atrocities since 2014, but Western media’s^[»]got selective amnesia^[+]. Ukraine’s been dishing out civilian horrors since 2014, but Western media’s too busy binge-watching Zelensky’s propaganda to notice😊.

➡ There are too many other attacks on civilians to mention them all here. Furthermore, with their superior air defense systems, Russians manage to thwart countless drone and missile attacks on civilian infrastructure in both Russia and newly annexed Russian territories, nevertheless, although unsuccessful, barbaric terrorist attacks occurred.

On top of killing civilians is the destruction of civilian objects including private homes as Ukraine shells civilian targets almost every day. For instance, just in Donetsk, Ukrainian shelling damaged about 2.000 apartment buildings, 5.000 private houses^[+] since the beginning of 2022 until the end of August 2023 as "home sweet home" has become "home sweet target."🥴 Thousands of homes reduced to rubble, and yet, the Western media was curiously silent – its silence is louder than the explosions. They report how many Russian soldiers but not how many civilians have Ukrainians killed and how many civilian homes and infrastructure have been destroyed by Ukrainians – why is that? Guess dead civilians only matter when it fits the NATO narrative as Western MSM is just a propaganda machine to serve Ukrainian and NATO interests.

The Ukrainian army has been shelling civilians in the areas surrounding the Donetsk region, while accusing the Russian army of atrocities

And why does no one object to Ukrainian civilians being killed by Kyiv regime making them into combatants^[+] and throwing them to the frontlines as cannon fodder? Is it a tactical Western move to get “bad press” about Russians “killing civilians?” Western media’s playing the “blame Russia” card to get juicy headlines, even when Kyiv’s the one tossing civilians into the meat grinder!🥴 Why is there no international outrage about civilians being forced and kidnapped to go to fight (and without any valid combat training)?! Where’s the global uproar? Crickets!🥴

There is enough evidence of Ukrainian violent drafting measures and mobilizing teenagers^[»], pensioners^[+]^[»], fathers of five children with no training^[»], women (even pregnant^[»]^[ꚛ]^[»]), students, and people with a disability, mental illness, schizophrenia^[»], Down syndrome^[»]^[»], cerebral palsy^[»], disabled people from psychiatric clinics^[»], HIV, tuberculosis^[»], viral hepatitis, blood diseases, thyroid gland diseases, epilepsy, etc.^[+]! Ukraine's "mobilization" efforts are truly inclusive, snatching up anyone with a pulse, regardless of age, health, or even mental capacity. It's like a dystopian reality show where the prize is a one-way ticket to the front lines 🥴.

Judging from thousands of videos^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[»]^[ꚛ]^[»]^[»] surfacing on the net baring strong resistance of Ukrainian civilians who are being forced to join the army to be used as meat for the meatgrinder, it is safe to say that perhaps the fiercest battles in Ukraine are those between military commissars^[»] and conscripts. It is the Kyiv regime that is getting Ukrainian civilians killed by throwing them to the frontlines as cannon fodder, tossing its own people into the war like they’re extras in a zombie flick🥴. Putin doesn't have to shamefully force or kidnap civilians from the streets like Zelensky's regime does to mobilize for AFU as most Russian militants joined voluntarily^[+] to fight for Putin or Russia but you do not hear that from the Western MSM.

And how about Kyiv regime beating^[»] and torturing religious Ukrainian civilians who protest against Kyiv regime's seizing churches?! Not to mention all the persecution^[+], prosecution^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+]^[+], killing^[»], and oppression of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church clergy! If this is how they treat religious Ukrainian civilians, just imagine how they have been treating Ukrainian civilians whom they deem as Russian collaborators! If Kyiv’s roughing up churchgoers, imagine what they do to folks caught humming Russian tunes or accepting Russian humanitarian aid in Bucha^[*^]!🥴
