[quote Igotjelly]@Alexandra2001 100% not defending, simply pointing out that linguistically it doesn’t read strictly as ‘for children’ in terms of intended to kill children.[/quote]
And yet it was intended to kill children, because it was aimed at children.

Well indeed, just think there is so much false info out there without adding to it.

What is not fake news of course is that the Russians are acting like absolute barbarians.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 08/04/2022 14:55

Stop defending these monsters, either way, its irrelevant.

I'm just making a linguistic point, and there is no need to have a go at me for that.

Didn't realise you can decide what is relevant or not, to be posted.

I see the Daily Mail (I know I know) are reporting and. Have pictures of Putin at Zhirinovsky’s funeral. Clearly not in a bunker then.

PestorPeston · 08/04/2022 15:03

What the writing on the bomb shows is how extremely influenced the Russian soldiers are by propaganda.
"We are bombing fleeing Ukrainian citizens (including children) in retaliation for the horrors that ghastly nazi azov bastards (ie all Ukrainians) have done to our children (who happen to live in eastern Ukraine)".
They have certainly been spun a tale.

One minute video on why the west needs to stop importing Russian oil

I agree (using my admittedly now very rusty Russian) with those that have corrected the translation. It doesn't make the missile and its intended target any less contemptible and is in no way justifying it Confused

@PestorPeston

The Ukrainians wanted to claim borscht as theirs and only theirs and didn’t want to share with others. This, says Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, is “xenophobia, extremism and nazism.” From Ukraine World

I'm making borscht, to a Ukrainian recipe, I am responsible for WW3 and a fascist.

Jeez. The MFA twitter account is like a parody.

I think I'll make borscht this weekend and post pics on Twitter

Re the meaning of ‘For the Children’ being payback for the children rather than intended to hit children.

Thank you for the detail. I appreciate knowing this fact even if, as has been pointed out, that doesn’t mean children wouldn’t have been hit by it.

@RedToothBrush

Liberal Nazis. The West is going to be taken over by liberal nazis.

Quote from a Russian Government Official by TASS

What does that even mean? It's just a meaningless word salad, as well as illogical Confused

prettybird · 08/04/2022 15:25

Picture didn't re-post in the quote - it's the full quote from Tass that is an illogical, meaningless word salad, designed to obfuscate Confused

BBC reporting 50 deaths now

Fifty people are now thought to have died after Kramatorsk train station was hit by rockets, according to the region's governor.

Writing on Telegram, Pavlo Kyrylenko said as well as the 38 people who died at the train station, 12 others who were wounded at the scene later died in hospital.

He said 98 people in total were taken to hospital after the attack. Of the 98, 16 were children, 46 were women and 36 were men.

He added that he expected more people to seek medical help within the coming days.

I know Sunak has a few conflict of interest problems, liberal nazi is a bit extreme though.

Natsku · 08/04/2022 16:06

Liberal Nazis eh? hmmmm

More cyber attacks - Finnish ministries of defence and foreign affairs websites were hit earlier today, at the exact same time Zelensky was speaking to Parliament so rather coincidental, and the savings accounts of one of the main banks here (can't access my account but there was nothing much in there anyway)

I also heard Russian planes have been invading Finland's airspace today too.

We are at such a pivotal moment...re Finland And NATO!
Surely now is the time to get in

Igotjelly · 08/04/2022 17:02

That’ll all just be because Finland have dared utter the NATO word 🙄

www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-it-would-have-rebalance-if-finland-sweden-join-nato-2022-04-07/

Russia says it will rebalance by taking measures in Western Europe. Hmmmm....is Marine Le Pen still going to leave Nato if elected, which risk is higher if news coming out of France over the last 48 hours is correct. I suspect that is not what Picksy is talking about, but I could not help but notice the coincidental events.

MagicFox · 08/04/2022 17:24

Russia has also defined the sanctions against the west as international aggression. What is it they're doing?!

I thought Finland have said they will be applying to join by the end of May.
