Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds more prisoners on Saturday as part of a major swap that amounted to a rare moment of cooperation in otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire. The exchange came hours after Kyiv came under a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack that left at least 15 people injured.

Officials said Russia attacked Ukraine with 14 ballistic missiles and 250 Shahed drones overnight while Ukrainian forces shot down six missiles and neutralized 245 drones — 128 drones were shot down and 117 were thwarted using electronic warfare.

The Kyiv City Military Administration said it was one of the biggest combined missile and drone attacks on the capital.

    Hiroshima and Nagasaki is one of the biggest war crimes. Would you support the usa getting nuked during iraq war or israel getting nuked because of the 57 years of occupation?

      I never said I supported it. That’s something you read into it.

      Bombing of civilians is a long established part of war. As was looting, pillaging and anything else that reminded the populace that war sucks.

      Gengis Khan doesn’t have as many descendents as he does because of consentual relations, for example. War is war.

      It’s not pretty. And none of that is me saying it’s okay.

      Find your villain elsewhere.

        If it was always part of wars and we should accept it why are you not applying this uncivilized and savage realities to russia?

          You keep putting words in my mouth and are clearly arguing in poor faith.

          I said no such thing and I’m done with you.

          Edit to add: people like you are why people leave lemmy or simply don’t post.
