Massive strike on Kyiv: Russia has been and remains terrorist state
Terrible nighttime attack on Ukrainian cities. Many were killed, including children. Heartfelt condolences to the families
Russia has no military reason to attack Ukrainian cities. No strikes on Kyiv, Lviv, Vinnytsia, or Poltava affect the frontline.
The only purpose of this is to intimidate the civilian population. This is what distinguishes a tactic of terror from deliberate killings: a killer aims to kill someone specific, whereas for a terrorist it doesn’t matter who they kill. On the contrary, it’s important that the victims are random — children, adults, women, men, civilians or soldiers — it doesn’t matter. No one should feel safe.
Russia has been and remains a terrorist state. In the history textbooks of any country, Putin and Putin’s Russia will be portrayed as a deranged nation — a gathering of maniacs with Russian passports, for whom terrorism has become a source of pride, and the “Russian world” has turned into a plague that brings only terror and the deaths of innocent people. An Arctic ISIS, devoted to the deity of Putin and shielded from accountability for murder.
In fact, today we have an answer to the question of whether Putin will stop waging war anytime soon: he will only stop if Ukraine and the world force him to. There is no other way.
