Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed on Tuesday that Ukraine would escalate its drone attacks inside Russia and warned that "safe days" are over for civilian aircraft in Russian airspace. "Today, we want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, and everyone who still
Russia does…
That’s not justification for killing more civilians that’s psychotic.
If airlines care about not losing planes and people they will stop flying over Russia so it would have the ideal result of shutting down flights there. Ethically it’s a bit fucked but it’s likely an effective way to apply more pressure. And it’s not like Russia can’t just stop all of this.
I need you to understand the line you are choosing to cross here. You are now openly, in front of everybody, shrugging and vaguely justifying open mass terror against civilians.
No you’re right, I think I was speaking partly out of exhaustion from this whole mess, I’d rather they just stopped.
Russia tried to prevent the war with the Minsk agreements. Angela Merkel admitted that it was a ruse to arm Ukraine. What is Russia supposed to do now? It was fooled plenty of times already.

I was talking more about them being concerned about possibly losing their property and thus profits, not that they had any moral compass. I’m not sure what the US has to do with it though, these companies are owned by people from all sorts of countries.

Well, that includes Russians.
Yes it does. It includes both Russian civilians and Ukrainian civilians
No idea why I’ve been downvoted. Deliberately killing any civilians is a war crime. End of point.
Because your original comment says “well Russia does it …” kindof seems like you’re implying an “eye for an eye” situation is just here. If your comment was focusing on Russian civilian death, too, it doesn’t really seem like it, kinda more like you’re trying to act like Russia kills way more Ukrainian civilians and that makes it ok that Ukraine can kill Russian civilians, because “well Russia does it too …”
If that wasn’t your intention then I apologize but you must see how it comes off that way.
I guess I’ve been misundestood. English does that to me time to time. What I meant is, there is no justification for attacking on civilians no matter which side you are on, that includes Russian civilians. Definitely didn’t want to mean eye for an eye. That’s terrible.
Thanks for the heads up.
Well hey, your English has me convinced! I’d much rather give tips on English than explain why killing civilians, no matter who, is bad 😅 rock on friend !
Of course, having arguments over this shouldn’t happen in the first place but sadly it happens, so I understand and appreciate your concern. Cheers!
