Every news outlet in the world (except the Russian ones) is trying to shed light on the terrible current events taking place in Ukraine. On February 24, Putin and his forces launched a large-scale invasion of his neighboring country. The enemy forces were not expecting any resistance from the local people or even the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was a huge mistake.
The invaders were soon greeted with a flame of vengeance with missiles, bullets and thousands of Molotov cocktails hitting their tanks and armored vehicles. After the first few clashes with enemies on every front, Putin decided that bombing military facilities such as airfields and barracks was not enough.
Shells and missiles began targeting civilian homes, administrative buildings, completely destroying entire city blocks. A state reached which they were either completely unlivable or extremely dangerous. And if you think to yourself: “Why are they killing civilians? Isn’t it against the Geneva Conventions?” Yes, yes it is, but they don’t care because no one is doing anything about it. Maybe they will all answer for their war crimes one day, but by then, Russian artillery, missiles, rockets and bombs will have destroyed dozens of towns, villages and cities throughout Ukraine.
To help those of you who don’t like to do research, we’ve prepared some before and after shots of Ukrainian cities destroyed by the Russians.
