Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds more prisoners on Saturday as part of a major swap that amounted to a rare moment of cooperation in otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire. The exchange came hours after Kyiv came under a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack that left at least 15 people injured.

Officials said Russia attacked Ukraine with 14 ballistic missiles and 250 Shahed drones overnight while Ukrainian forces shot down six missiles and neutralized 245 drones — 128 drones were shot down and 117 were thwarted using electronic warfare.

The Kyiv City Military Administration said it was one of the biggest combined missile and drone attacks on the capital.

      Still, 3 killed civilians just in Kyiv and the surrounding area. Likely more in total, but that’s the latest local news I’ve seen.

      I’d feel bad. But not if it was just the Kremlin and other government buildings while they’re occupied.

      Should you be killed for what your government does?
      I don’t think anyone wants to play that game.

        They may not, but it’s part of the war.

        London was bombed. Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Go to Europe and hear how things were more beautiful before the war/bombing.

        Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

        That said, I see Ukrainians as fighting for their survival and I dont fault them in the slightest.

        This really doesnt hold up for very long if you think about it. You cant just let countries keep doing shit like this. “Should germans have been killed for their countries military actions” No, technically not, but they had to die anyways in order to stop the war machine. Russia can only continue fighting because it has the support of the population.
