Russia is trying to turn Kherson into a “city of death” as President Putin’s forces lay mines in buildings and sewers across the city, Kyiv said today.
Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to President Zelensky, said Russia hoped to stall the Ukrainian advance in the city, then shell it from the other side of the Dnipro river.
“RF [Russia] wants to turn Kherson into a ‘city of death’. The Russian military mines everything they can: apartments, sewers. Artillery on the left bank plans to turn the city into ruins,” Podolyak tweeted. “This is what [the] ‘Russian world’ looks like: came, robbed, celebrated, killed ‘witnesses’, left ruins and left.”

Whatever is happening in Ukraine, to each side, it’s real war, people get killed and infrastructure will get destroyed.
It’s crazy that otherwise average people resort to killing each other to settle their differences.

Like that’s never happened in war before. Ukrainians had to clear their own mines so those grain shipments could happen.
Russians claim that these people voted 99% to be a part of Russia and love Putin. They also say now they’re going to kill as much of them as they can to “de-nazify and de-satanize”.
Putinistas are enthusiastically showing their support for both of these claims.
Russia...
Everybody’s good neighbor
