From the wire:
“Russia has been kind until the last moment,
giving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his regime the opportunity to
think and show common sense…do not mistake our kindness for weakness”
said Alexander Makogonov, a spokesperson for the Russian Embassy. “On the
contrary, the Ukrainian authorities have preferred to overdo it. Notably
through this atrocious attack on a critical civil infrastructure object which
is the Crimean bridge.” he added.
Russia launched a wave of violent
airstrikes across Ukraine earlier this week, two days after an explosion
damaged a crucial bridge to Crimea and dealt a strategic blow to the Kremlin. Putin’s
recent military escalation in Ukraine comes as Russia contends with heavy
losses on the battlefield and low morale among troops.
A children’s playground in Kyiv was among the
sites hit by a rocket or missile. When asked to explain the destruction seen at
the playground, Makogonov said that those were the result of malfunctioning
Ukrainian air defense systems.`
From the high wire:
So Ukraine’s Volodymyr attacks a bridge
belonging to Putin the “warlord” and Russia’s Valdimirobitch retaliates by
bombing a kid’s playground?
