    Congratulations to Putin for launching 635 drones and 38 missiles to kill some completely arbitrary 4-year-old and two random people in their 70s right before Christmas. He has brought the Russian empire to its absolute peak, no doubt.

    Why is it ‘massive’ in quotes? It was massive, wasn’t it? Sounds as if they doubt it was massive.

        Do you mind elaborating, please? I really did not read the article, so I might be totally wrong on commenting right away. It’s just not the first time I see things like that from BBC. Which disappoints me quite a lot, since that’s literally the only news outlet I watch and have some respect for. Yet, since 2022, I started paying closer attention at how wrong they were with covering Ukraine, sometimes literally giving Russian shills some platform. I have no record of that at the moment, it’s buried in the pre-musk Twitter of mine, but I remember that disappointment I had quite very clearly. That’s why I thought ‘oh no, are you at it again?’

        So, wasn’t the attack quite large? I do live in Ukraine with my family, by the way, and we’re having electricity for like 3 hours today. So, I assume this attack was quite massive, wasn’t it? Literally, I had very little time to learn today.

          From the previous version of the article (archive):

          Russia carried out a “massive” overnight attack on several Ukrainian cities, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said, a day after he warned of strikes over the Christmas period.
          At least three people were killed, according to Ukrainian officials, including a four-year-old child, while energy infrastructure was also targeted, leaving several regions without power.
          Zelensky said “people simply want to be with their families, at home, and safe” in the run-up to Christmas, and said the strikes sent “an extremely clear signal about Russia’s priorities” despite ongoing peace talks.
          He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin “still cannot accept that he must stop killing. And that means that the world is not putting enough pressure on Russia”.

          I wish you, your family and friends all the strength you need to get through this difficult time.
