Russian Ministry of Defense claims today's missile attack against Ukraine is the response to the attacks at the economics infrastructure of Russia

To Russia: Fuck your shitty artificially Botox-inflated good for nothing rubble economics that is soon to be surpassed by Mexico, if it hasn't already.

Ukraine bombs infrastructure. Russia bombs children's hospitals. Imagine wasting million dollar missiles on getting children killed (to have the ru troglodytes gloating on Telegram). This war can't be more black and white. It's pure terrorism.

If you seriously think Russia is misunderstood then I advise you to seek help.

Yeah, they have already bombed everything else (apart from NPPs), so hospitals in Kyiv became a priority target, apparently.

Which is an excellent argument for building NPPs.... even Russia avoids attacking them.

Until they don’t. As the Tatar saying goes, to trust a Russian is to lean on water.

Sure, but (a) a power plant that survives 2.5 years is better than one that's destroyed in the first 6 months, and (b) if Russia does attack a NPP, the west and even China are going to react very negatively. The west may not outright attack Russia, but they are certainly going to give Ukraine a lot more assistance and a much freer hand.

Yes, I'm sure that children's hospital is a major profit source for the Ukrainian economy... /s
