    On Reddit I see TONS of “Pro-Ukraine” war reporting video footage from Russian cell phones of the aftermath of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian targets including oil tankers, depositories and Wildberries commercial warehouses.

    On the other hand I haven’t seen a single video of Russian attacks from Ukrainian territory.

      What’s your point?

      We have seen plenty of videos from Russian strikes in the beginning of the war.

      But nowadays Russian strikes aren’t surprising and the war is not interesting to the Ukrainians anymore. It just makes them sad when more of their fellow citizens die. Why would you film a common event that just makes you sad? Do you film when your mom cries? Or when your dad falls, breaks his hip and is in a lot of pain?

        I’ve seen on my feed countless Russian infantry deaths from Ukrainian drone footage. Speaking of sadness, I saw a clip of a Russian soldier standing completely still, his face slowly filling the screen until it cuts off after the drone explodes the right in his face.

          I don’t think the quick and painless death of an invader, war criminal and hired murderer is sadder than the horrible deaths of a family of four in a burning half-collapsed flat in Kyiv.

          But you do you bro.

          Also the footage you described is drone footage from Ukraine, not cell phone footage from civilians.

              You did in your first comment, that’s what I was referring to

                I was referring to aftermath footage from Ukrainian Drone Strikes. Burning refineries and warehouses and such. Personal cell phone videos and the like. My bad for the confusion.

                  I’m not confused at all. You’re missing the point.

                  • I replied to your question about cell phone footage and the absence of that on the Ukrainian side.
                  • Then you replied to that with a comment about drone footage.
                  • Now I’m telling you that that’s not equivalent and doesn’t fit into the topic we are discussing.

          I saw a video of Russian soldiers shooting and killing a father, son, and their dog while they were just driving down the street.

            Where did you see this? Social media? If so which one? I’m only interested in the source, not the clip itself, given that I’ve only seen one side of the conflict on Reddit. My only source of information has been Reddit for a decade plus. I’ve never used Twitter / X.

            Maybe I should check it out.

              I saw it on Twitter in 2022 at the beginning of the invasion

              On telegram you can push play on Ukraine war footage and you won’t beat the rate of upload, it just doesn’t end. I’m constantly baffled by the “there’s no footage” group of people. There’s more war footage from the last 4 years than the rest of human history combined.
