“Odesa cathedral severely damaged as Russia bombards port city”

Not the wording of the headline - they’re trying to do better now and not immediately blame the Russians for the Cathedral hit, as we all know there are PLENTY of other possibilities as to what happened.

At least 494 religious buildings in Ukraine have been destroyed, damaged, or looted as a result of the Russian invasion—and seizure of religious buildings for use as Russian military bases increases the scale of destruction of religious sites in Ukraine, reports the Institute for Religious Freedom.

The same people who blew up Nordstream, destroyed this cathedral.

“After Putin.”

It doesn’t work anymore, not here, and the same is quickly happening in the real world...they’re learning about the history of that part of the world.

Wasn’t the UOC banned by Zelensky because they are associated with Moscow? Why would Russia attack that church? More likely the Ukrainians accidentally bombed it.

“ Missiles against peaceful cities, against residential buildings, a cathedral . . . There can be no excuse for Russian evil,” Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted on Twitter.

Obviously not targeted by the Russians. But they were where remnants of Ukrainian ABM missile defense fell.

Yes there are other possible explanations, but the ”razor” still holds.

The simplest explanation is usually correct.

So in the midst of a rocket attack, the Ukrainians blow up a church, yup got it
