Okay, two months ago some missile (possibly Russian) fell near a children's hospital and zero children died in that sad incident. It is impossible to remain silent in the face of such a horrific war crime by Russia, so let's talk about it again. Grin
Ok, I got your point. You would be more happy if there was 50 or 100 children killed. And FYI, there was at least 2 casualties confirmed, including one doctor, I'm not even talking about injured ones.
OK, let's say it was Ukrainian rocket,how it didn't killed dozens of children? Or implying that that hospital was empty, or it wasn't even hospital building. I don't get your flawed logic.
The fact that you continue to chew over this episode from two months ago with a tenacity worthy of a better cause clearly shows that this is not a typical event and cannot be extended to the entire manner of Russia's military operations in Ukraine.

If I show you a recent video of Ukrainian soldiers torturing Russian prisoners captured in the Kursk region with electric current, does that mean that all Ukrainian soldiers are war criminals? I don't think so. But some Ukrainians do commit war crimes. Probably some Russians, too. That is inevitable in armed conflicts of this scale and intensity.

I cannot validate your claim, it may or may have not ever happened.

However, there is a pattern by Ruzzia of hitting civilians, there is a pattern in hitting schools and hospitals and shopping centres - it is not a one off. There is one guy called Andrew Perpetua. Him plus his reduced team has probably seen more videos of the war than anyone else. This person has stated many times that Ruzzians are systematically hitting civilian vehicles with drones, clearly not carrying anything but ordinary people for target practice in Kherson.

Iran reportedly has sent short range ballistics missiles to Ruzzia, in significant quantities. The US should accept the use of the same weapons for military targets in Ruzzia to make an equivalent non-escalatory move (now is no longer escalation).

The Kursk offensive, which I thought would reach a consolidation phase, is actually progressing towards the west of the current positions, to gain the territory south of the Seim River. Changes are now slower as Ruzzia, after loosing 1200 km2 of land decided to divert troop there. There are some signs of Ruzzia mobilising without actually announcing a mobilisation for obvious reasons.  No hurry, as the Ruzzians cannot resupply there - or just do it minimally. There is however massive drone activity in road from Kursk (city) to the area and often the equipment gets destroyed before reaching the front. Ukraine is serious about this front.

In the east, Ukraine was able to re-gain a locality (Niu York) and there are reinforcements being sent to the Donbas. Some other news in the are are less promising for Ukraine, but there is a reduction in the advance speed to the usual snail pace.

The other day I saw a guy comparing a snail crawling towards Ukraine for a year vs the Ruzzians invading for a year. Guess who covered more distance.
