She added that large-scale Russian attacks have become a sad part of everyday life for Ukrainians.

“This night once again clearly showed me that Russian attacks on the Ukrainian population are aimed at wearing them down,” the minister said.

  1. It should be the assholes of this world to experience such attacks; the Trumps, Orbans, the members of the AfD, the fascists in America that support the mafia state, the other fascists in other countries, those who purchase mafia oil or help the mafia state in other ways. Better yet, send all of them into the middle of no-man’s land and watch them get wasted.

  2. Exactly, to your point, how can anyone in a decision making position without experiancing the situtation fully understand what policy to implement? If I did not have first hand knowledge, expertise and perform to the best of my abilities, Id be fired from my job. Also, Id have little confidence I was doing things correctly.

    • Right you are, Mike. I’ve learned that it seems only politicians can be useless oxygen thieves and make blunder after blunder with no consequences to fear. A case in point is the criminal in the White House.
