I think its a strategic mistake for Ukraine to be striking civilian buildings, despite the unfairness of what's happening to Ukraine. The reasoning for this view is that it could result in China and Iran claiming justification to provide even more support to Russia. This could only make matters worse for Ukraine and the rest of the world. Ukraine should focus on military objectives only.

As long as the West keeps dithering Putin will just continue. His constant threats of escalating and the use of nukes is all he has to deter the west from letting Ukraine do what it wants with the supplied western weapons. How many times has Putin told us not what to do incase of escalation and he’s done nothing that he said that he might do.
To be fair to the Ukrainian military, civilian structures that are hit by Ukrainian drones are of the fault of russian jamming of the drones. Whereas the russian military purposely targets Ukranian civilian structures in their attacks.
Ukraine targets civilians.
Question: Are there key bridges or railway lines that the Ukrainians could destroy, or at least damage, that would blunt the Russian’s ability to get supplies and/or troops into Donbas? If “YES “, is Ukraine attacking those bridges or railways? (Bill from Toronto)
Blinken is total wuss , that's being polite . U P S .
people is so NAIV
Zelenskey is a Jewish Messaih who killed Christians in the name of Ukraine.
Danny W Lindberg made this all possible with his Ukie love boy T-shirt he brought 👏👏
His claim that there are indiscriminate attacks on BOTH sides is SHEER NONSENSE.
The fact is that there is such action only on ONE side, that is, Putler and his orcs. Ukraine makes it a point not to hit civilians or civilian targets, unlike Putler who commits war crimes and genocide GALORE by targeting residential apartments, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, concert halls, railway stations, churches and even universities.
Ukraine in contrast targets military assets such as ammunition and fuel dumps, military and air bases, oil refineries and power plants. The latter two are designed to not just damage the Russian economy and reduce Putler's ability to prosecute this war, but to bring home to the Russian people the consequences of Putler's actions when they find their fuel and electricity supplies cut.
Now that China and Iran are providing military supplies to Putler, the US and the EU should remove ALL restrictions on the use of the munitions and missiles supplied to Ukraine.

What a load of BS " the west isn't in conflict with Russia at the moment ! So you don't call russian cyber attacks on the West WAR ? So you don't call russian sabatage attacks on western arms facilities WAR ? So you don't call russian meddling in Western Politics WAR ? No wonder Ukraine hasn't won yet !!!!!! SLAVA UKRAINI
Why isn't Ukrain using their invasion to flank the Russian invasion?
Seems they’ll be a wider conflict by Xmas.
Thise teenage countries are just a disaster for whole world
Russia will lose everything.
Ukraine is doing the best to defend herself! Bravo Ukraine!
Why is the west dilly dallying on providing effective support to Ukraine when China and Iran are providing military support to Russia. No limit should be placed on Ukraine otherwise it will continue to be disadvantaged and unable to repel the Russian invasion. If Russia sees that the support for Ukraine is total, then it will seek a negotiated settlement of the war. Russia cannot risk going to war with NATO because of the war

Read the book of revelation.
Great to see all our global communities making their contribution towards international cultural enrichment 😂
My understanding is that the missiles Ukraine would want to use are only compatible with the US military's gps systems.
It looks to me like Russia is blowing up some of their ammunition stocks that they probably already had stored in those buildings. Ukrainian soldiers probably found them, but I would say Russian attacks are marginal.
The prevarication of the West about long-range weapons inside Russian border is rank cowardice. There's nothing diplomatic about this. Putin is well aware that using nukes will mean the end of Russia and that he personally has a single weapon aimed at him 24/7. They know where he is.
