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
In the linked article no one suggests attacks on civilians. Rather it reads as a way to avoid unnecessary casulties.
What a clickbait headline.
Sure but that’s a threat and a weak cover. The logistics of covering Russian airspace with so many drones that a civilian aircraft would just happen into one is ridiculous. This is an incredibly common tactic.
Yeah this is what he actually said…
bro, you gotta learn to read imperialese. this is imperial speak to say we’re going to kill civilians. didn’t you learn form the “enhanced interrogation” scandal from the gringo fascist empire?
It’s actually closer to Irans playbook, making the Strait unnavigable. Notice that he explicitly called out insurers in the speech. He wants to exercise political control over the Russian airspace and he’s using drones to do it. “Too risky to travel” means no travel. That’s not killing civilians.
It should also be completely fair to say, “hey… this is an active war zone. You probably shouldn’t fly here.” At a certain point, the risk is something that the airliner chose to accept. It’s not that Ukraine would target them. It’s that you’re in a fucking war zone, know the risks. Be glad you even got a warning for what should be common sense.
The sky above all of Russia is a bit different to a narrow (relatively) strait of water.
Sure, but why at all mention insurers then?
I’m not saying approach is effective, Just that it seems like that would be the approach. Why else would he assume insurers give a shit?
If you can’t get the cargo and plane insured for the trip, aren’t you going to factor in the increased risk profile before you take off?
That dynamic seems familiar, doesn’t it? Again, the strait.
How do “russian airspace will become completely unsafe” und “do not threaten civilian aviation” together?
War is dangerous. Ukraine has been attacked and is fighting back. They’re warning people that the area they are fighting in is dangerous and they don’t want anyone to get hurt.
Do you assume Ukraine should prioritize commercial airline safety over their own sovereignty and their own commercial airlines, which have consistently been in danger for years?
There is not a safe way to conduct war. I’m sure Zelensky would prefer to stop the fighting, but that option currently means the death of Ukraine entirely.
Civilian Aircraft wont be deliberately targeted, but there will be so many munitions flying arround unnanounced they would be wise to re-route
soooooooooo, i didn’t punch you, your face intercepted my fist kind of mental gymnastics?
Gotta be honest if you’re dumb enough to walk straight through the middle of an active fistfight and happen to get punched in the face, that’s your fault.
Are you trying to double-down on the Zionist rhetoric? Genuine question, this is the same thing Israelis say about Palestinians.
you’re kinda victim blaming civilians being terrorized in a warzone
Normal civilians don’t get on planes and then fly those planes into warzones.
What if you live there? What if you need to get somewhere, because your work demands it, or because your family needs you?
glad to know i can punch you and it will be your fault, will do if i have the chance
Hey look, another tankie removing all context for the purposes of justifying violence. How original!
i think the copium is destroying your last living brain cell. you were the one arguing for justified violence.
Well that’s just an outright and blatant lie.
But .ml needs to hate Ukraine, what are the supposed to do, listen to facts?
listening to facts are the reason why anyone who reads will understand why ukraine is in the wrong.
the american congress banned weapons going to ukraine back in 2018 because of its neo nazi proclivities; how are you almost a decade slower than congress?!!!
It’s almost like they are the ones who hate/ignore facts. Or more honestly just wanting to troll and stir up drama since that’s the majority of their comments
