#50,
The TV news reported Russia bombing a Ukraine church. It showed a video of a church that looked as if were in the process of being demolished more than having been bombed. That’s the only evidence of Russian attack that was shown. Being that Russia is mostly Christian itself, why would they bomb a church? Aren’t there military and key infrastructure targets instead? I’m missing something.
“Aren’t there military and key infrastructure targets instead? I’m missing something.”
YES! YOU ARE CORRECT. THERE ARE MILITARY TARGETS. HOWEVER PUTIN TARGETS VILLAGES. PUTIN IS COMMITTING UKRAINIAN GENOCIDE AS WELL AS ATTEMPTING TO DESTROY UKRAINIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE.
“You Will Know Them by Their Fruits.”
Matthew 7:15-20.
The ONLY think you are missing that Putin is TRULY EVIL.
I. WORSE than destroying the ancient cathedral, the ‘POOREST OF THE POOR’ WILL STARVE.

At least one person has been killed and 20 injured in a Russian airstrike on the Spaso-Preobrazhensky in Odesa, Ukraine on Sunday. A corner of the building was destroyed, leaving openings and rubble scattered across the floors and spilling onto the streets of Odesa’s city centre. Footage from inside of the country’s largest church building was captured shortly after the attack. The institution was consecrated in 1809. Additionally, the missile attacks also destroyed six houses and apartment buildings, and left 14 people hospitalized, Oleh Kiper, governor of southern Ukraine’s Odesa region confirmed. “We still find the likelihood of further missile strikes to be very high,” Natalia Humeniuk, a military command south spokesperson said on Sunday. The strike on Ukraine’s port comes as part of a barrage of attacks from Russia, which have taken place almost daily in the last week.

IV. OCCUPIED ZAPORIZHZHIA nuclear power plant
1. The Russian occupiers are going to put power unit No. 4 of the Zaporizhzhia NPP into a “hot shutdown” state.
2. At the same time, they are deliberately not putting power unit No. 5 into a “cold shutdown”.
Why would Russia blow up a major dam, stupidly cutting off water to Crimea, or threaten to blow up a major nuclear power plant which would probably send radioactive fallout to Russia and their ally Belarus. If the news is accurate, why would they bomb a warehouse storing 60,000 tons of grain scheduled to be sent to China. Aggression is stupid, and these are the results.
