The UK Defense Minister said yesterday that providing Ukraine with advanced anti-aircraft systems was directly linked to Russia's decision to bomb civilian infrastructure which is a war crime in violation of multiple treaties.

If NATO and the West didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.

From the briefing (https://www.nato.int/kosovo/press/p990525b.htm) by NATO Spokesperson Jamie Shea. Brussels, 25 May 1999:

Q: If you say that the [Yugoslav] army has a lot of generators, then why are you depriving the country of 70% not only of electricity, but also of water supply, because, according to you, [NATO] attacks only military facilities.

A: Unfortunately, command and control systems also depend on electricity. If Milosevic really wants his citizens to have water and electricity, all he has to do is accept NATO’s terms and we will stop this campaign. Until he does, we will continue to attack targets that supply his army with electricity. If it has consequences for the population, it is his [Milosevich’s] problem. Water and electricity are being used against the people of Serbia, we have shut them off for good or for a long time for the sake of the 1.6 million Kosovars who have been driven from their homes and whose lives have been significantly damaged. Not everyone will like this difference, but for me it is fundamental.”

How many countless videos do we have of the Eukrainian Nazi’s shelling citizens, no Russian military in site.

⚡️ Ukrenergo - Ukraine’s energy company- declares emergency; 50% of the energy infrastructure of Ukraine entirely destroyed as a result of further Russian strikes this morning. (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/10426)

Ukrenergo is an electricity transmission system operator in Ukraine and the sole operator of the country’s high-voltage transmission lines. It is 100% owned by Ukrainian government.
