Uh Ukraine has provided evidence. It’s right there in the photos. PLUS Russia said it was right on target.
Too bad Ukraine doesn’t have the wherewithal to take out a few square miles of downtown Moscow. And the leadership along with it.
“Uh Ukraine has provided evidence. It’s right there in the photos.”
I didn’t see any bodies in the photos, much less 22 of them. Plus, Ukraine said it shot down 90% of the incoming, so perhaps Ukraine shouldn’t be shooting down missiles over populated areas.
Again you show your ignorance of Russian military equipment. The S300 Surface-to-Air Missile that the Russians have been using in many of these attacks in a ground attack mode is notoriously inaccurate in this mode. Circular Error Probability for this missile in this mode is estimated by open sources to be in excess of 500 meters.
These attacks are not precision strikes against military targets. They are strikes against area targets in the hope that they will hit something important. And if they don’t, they will kill a few Ukranians which is just as well for the Russians.
That is about the dumbest most idiotic thing I’ve read about war. Don’t shoot down the attackers missiles. Unless you’re saying Russian missiles are complete junk and never hit their targets and by shooting them down Ukraine actually helps them hit their targets. Is that what you’re saying?
“The S300 Surface-to-Air Missile that the Russians have been using in many of these attacks in a ground attack mode is notoriously inaccurate in this mode.”
Link please.

It’s fine to shoot them down, but don’t go crying to the Western media when you choose to intercept them in populated areas.
Why not? If they weren’t shot over populated areas they wouldn’t land on them.
Plus this is war why wouldn’t they use the evidence of russian missiles murdering civilians? I know I would if I was in their situation. Just like Russia would if Ukraine ever attacks Russia mainland and kills civilians.
Typical Soviet whataboutism. Yawn.
It's no longer the Soviet Union. If you are going to be libelous, at least get in the right decade.
Either way, you have fun supporting an anti-christian, Nazi loving regime that slaughtered it's own citizens in the Donbas. You are on the wrong side of history.
“Why not? If they weren’t shot over populated areas they wouldn’t land on them.”
Easy solution is to separate military facilities from civilian facilities - but then the Ukrainians wouldn’t get these headlines.
By the way, do you guys know that 9 civilians were killed in Donetsk shelling into residential areas this morning? I doubt it (standard media blackout when they take a side), which is why it is in Ukraine’s interest to attack and terrorize Russia-supporting civilians (they are never held accountable), but it is not in Russia’s interest to do the opposite as they have to deal with a hostile media.
Ukraine operates like Hamas and Hezbollah, using human shields in hospitals, schools, office buildings, apartment buildings, etc. Even the UN has called them out on it. It’s pretty serious war crimes.
So the Ukrainians should just let the Muscovote missiles land in populated areas?
How about the Muscovites just stop shooting their missiles into Ukraine and go home? That's a far better solution.
“So the Ukrainians should just let the Muscovote missiles land in populated areas?”
No, they should keep their military facilities SEPARATED from civilian facilities.
Whataboutism: the idea that when you attack somebody for something, if they point out that you do the exact same thing, in spades, that somehow that is unfair. The recipient of the criticism is supposed to genuflect, and say nothing about you doing the same thing and worse.

Thanks for the information. You are still wrong.
