Summary

Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Christmas Day, using 184 missiles and drones, resulting in power cuts across the country.

Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the attack, calling it “inhumane” and a “conscious choice” by Russia.

Despite the damage and casualties, Ukrainians remain resilient, celebrating Christmas amidst the crisis.

    Apparently Zelensky realizes that telling Israel to fuck off right now would be a bad idea what with him fighting an invading force.

    But I’m sure righteous indignation wouldn’t have any repercussions.

      Once again, does not take away the hypocrisy. But I’m sure, it’s alright. Right? Hypocrisy is normal, I suppose.

      It’s entirely normal to say, it’s okay to flatten an entire area, murder people in the name of self defense and then condemn when it happens to your own country.

        Yes, it is entirely normal to take a “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” approach in war. Even if the enemy is monstrous themselves.

        Or do you think the Allies would have beaten the Nazis if they said, “Stalin is a murderer and a ruthless autocrat. We shall not be working with him and we condemn his genocide in Ukraine?” Because I’m betting no.

          Once again, hypocrisy. Just because he’s fighting for his own country and is against Russia. Does not mean, everyone should just be okay with the hypocrisy.

          But, alright I see. It’s normal.

            I can’t speak for you, but I’d rather live a hypocrite than die at the hands of a Russian or North Korean soldier.

              Alright, well I agree with you. Would not want to die too. Still I stick to my opinion.

        It would only be hypocrite if Ukraine supports Israel.

        Afaik they are neutral and too busy with their own affairs.

        Who even says Ukraine doesn’t condemn Israel?

          Zelensky said that Israel has “right to defend itself” (while they’re the occupiers). I linked that somewhere in another comment.

            So that one statement implies support?

            Israel are occupiers, yes, but Hamas attacked territories which everyone agrees are solidly Israel, and not occupied Palestine. Which, on first glance, is a-ok until you recognise that the whole thing was 5% attacks on military targets and 95% war crimes.

            Oh, side note: Russia drew up the battle plan and trained Hamas to execute it. As far as Ukraine is concerned Hamas is a friend of their enemy, no different from Iran or North Korea.

            Also I really don’t vibe with you equating Palestinians and Hamas. Smells of hasbara.
