More than 10,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022, with about half of recent deaths occurring far behind the front lines, the U.N. Human Rights Office said on Tuesday.
The contrast between the war in Ukraine and the war in the Middle East is stark and depressing.
As much as I hate to say it, Ukraine and Russia are demonstrating how a modern war should be fought. It’s ideologically messy, morally ambiguous, heavily propagandized, but at least it’s not one side dedicating all of their efforts to killing civilians because they can’t be bothered to find fighters to fight.
Ah yes, russia famously not dedicating their efforts to kill civilians by checks notes repeatedly bombing theaters, markets and apartment buildings. Gtfo.
It’s neither ideologically messy nor is it morally ambiguous - quite the opposite. It’s one of the most black and white conflicts of recent times. Russia invaded Ukraine in an ethnic war and marketed it as some kind of liberation. Russia is in the wrong and must fuck off.

Somehow still managed to kill fewer civilians in 1.5 years than Israel killed in 2 months.
I guess the real argument that is if Russia should be condemned for killing civilians, then so should Israel.
You can’t excuse one and not the other.
