Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

      Yes, stupid people use the wrong word, all the time

      I assumed that was an insult directed at me.

      Were you calling the UN and everyone that signed the Geneva Convention stupid instead?

      Even the “misinformation” claim, clearly the UN and Geneva Convention have a definition that’s different than yours, are you saying the Geneva Convention is misinformation?

      You’re free to disagree as a personal opinion, but that’s like me insisting an apple is a yellow fruit from South America that you need to peel before eating…

      It doesn’t change the definition everyone has agreed on.

          Then if what you’re saying is true, then I’m sure you can link an article from the past 74 years where some internationally respected human rights organization (or really anyone) has pointed it out by now…

          Like, seriously.

          The Geneva convention has been a thing for 74 years, I’m sure someone else would have noticed by now.

          Did you read this somewhere? Or is this something you’ve “discovered” on your own?

          And even if that is true, you understand that doesn’t make it ok, and still means Israel is flagrantly breaking the Geneva Convention?
