Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They also destroyed a huge missile stockpile that was in the middle of the city, and which is still burning and throwing rockets around. The whole district was evacuated.

This was Thursday, and the article is 3 days old.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And there's currently another combined attack going on with multiple types of missiles and drones. Literally as I'm writing this.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Yes, all part of the "40 days and 40 nights" campaign Zelenskyj announced about a week ago.
There was much speculation about if the Flamingo missile worked and if Ukraine was even making them.
But now they are in action. They are both being made and they work. 👍 😎

Only 30? Ukrainians make it sound as if they live in Gaza with how much they go on about Russian aggression.

[–] master_of_unlocking@piefed.zip 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How many people have to die before it’s ok to care about it? Is Gaza the baseline?

[+] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world -38 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If you want to compare the civilian deaths in Gaza’s genocide to military deaths in Ukraine’s war, you can. It’s dishonest, but you can.

My perspective is that the Ukrainians brought this upon themselves, first by overthrowing their democracy, second by failing to abide by the Minsk agreements, and lastly by threatening Russia by attempting to join NATO and claiming that they have the right to obtain nuclear weapons.

Each one on its own is insane, but together it’s hard to have any sympathy for Ukraine when their government has chosen to escalate at every opportunity.

[–] Vergissmeinnicht@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

first by overthrowing their democracy

They didn't. They legally removed a Russian agent that was passing a series of very antidemocratic laws.

threatening Russia by attempting to join NATO

Joining a defensive alliance is only a threat to an aggressor, so thanks for your admission I guess.

and claiming that they have the right to obtain nuclear weapons.

They wouldn't have of Russia hadn't invaded

It's all 100% on Russia.

But you know that already. That's the worst part. You're not misinformed, you're a liar.

[+] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world -29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This is bad counter-propaganda, as you’re lying about the basic facts. Also, you totally skipped over the Minsk Agreement, which Ukraine agreed to and then refused to enforce. They had a peace agreement and then decided to ignore it and escalate. That proves they were acting in bad faith the whole time.

Also, it was a given that Russia would invade as soon as Ukraine tried to use NATO to continue breaking the Minsk Agreement. NATO is an aggressive military alliance that has sought to encircle Russia since the USSR collapsed, and allowing a NATO country to emerge within bombing range of Moscow was a non-starter. Again, Ukraine never wanted peace. They wanted and chose escalation.

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 23 hours ago

Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons in exchange for sovereignty and the freedom to choose their alliances.

You really should just create a new username on Lemmy.ml. they'd love you there. Fit right in.

NATO is an aggressive military alliance that has sought to encircle Russia since the USSR collapsed

Again, only aggressive if Russia has territorial ambitions on its neighbours. Otherwise completely benign. The fact that you consider it aggressive betrays the fact that you know Russia has had territorial ambitions against its neighbours from the start. Making everything else useless verbal diarrhea.

It also betrays your imperialist way of thinking, denying Russia's neighbours their sovereign right to join whichever military alliance they choose.

You:

Also you:

[–] Cyv_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're the one who brought up gaza.

Russia invaded. Russia is welcome to fuck off whenever they're tired of throwing soldiers into the meat grinder. I have all the sympathy for the people in Ukraine who are fighting off Putin's war of aggression.

Lastly, eat shit.

[+] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world -23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

“Putin’s war.”

You’re an idiot. This is a US proxy war started by Washington and targeting Russia. Ukraine is just a vassal of empire and their fate is decided by their imperial backers.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

The fact remained that Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, and now invaded east Ukraine. No matter what you believe in, the fact never change.

[–] doben@lemmy.ml -4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That might be facts, but that’s not the whole story. History did not begin with the invasion. That narrative is not dissimilar to trying to pinpoint the Palestinian genocide to the singular event of Oct 7. There‘s precursors and reasons for what happened and ignoring them does in fact distort the picture heavily.

You’re thinking through an Us vs Them mentality, a bogeyman, and by that start to dismiss any narrative that contradicts ours. Of course, you can ignore them, or discredit anyone that works to take this conflict seriously. Or, careful, you yourself start taking „the other side“, „the enemy“ seriously, for example that Russia as sovereign regional power might be having legitimate interests and red lines, but also take seriously what the other involved parties say and do. For example, on our side: censorship, repression, fueling the war, prolonging the war, avoiding diplomacy, weaken asylum for Ukrainians, that fled the war, so they can be directly deported back into the meat grinder. On our side opposing narratives are systemically oppressed, for example by sanctioning journalists into absolute inability to live, like Hüseyin Doğru (who got sanctioned for his Palestine coverage with counterfactual reasoning in regards to Russia) or Jacques Baud. A recent court ruling now also actively criminalizes the reproduction/sharing of sanctioned content (like from RT, even if factual), so it‘s not enough to censor the media of the enemy in order to force you to only feed on one side. No, now individuals that share information from the other side’s perspective, can be jailed for up to five years. Opposing narratives in regards to the barbarian Israeli state is oppresed in Germany and the UK, already. But ignoring the roles of NATO in the making and maintenance of this war, ignoring the US‘ involvement in the coup, ignoring the fascist currents in the Ukrainian military and government, ignoring the forced subscription of their own citizens … ah whatever … you‘ve got to realize that this is not a game, right?

Also, how does it compute for you, that our side is complicit in the Palestinian genocide and fascist Israel‘s Lebensraum expansion and Apartheid regime, but on the Ukrainian issue suddenly we‘re the good guys or have no involvement or interests? That‘s straight up dumb.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 0 points 17 hours ago

That narrative is not dissimilar to trying to pinpoint the Palestinian genocide to the singular event of Oct 7.

Ohh do you want to include the event where it all started with when the Arab nation trying to chase the jews out and prevent them to set up Israel, which lead to a war that the Arab nation regreted to this day and also the annexation of Palestine to this day? Because no i don't want to do that. I look at the current event as see who're the bastard that did the annexation as of now, to look far back mean to muddy the opinion, because history is complicated, and people who play that card is meant to complicate thing and soften the opinion against them. If NATO is the one causing this war, why did Russia not giving back Crimea after the conflict calm down? Why did they continue to invade and takeover someone else land when Ukraine haven't even yet enter the alliance? Or do you believe Russia is still the rightful owner of Ukraine due to the Soviet Onion and they're merely taking back?

ignoring the fascist currents in the Ukrainian military and government

What does that have to do with the invasion? Are you really believe this is a "military operation" to get rid of Nazi? This is like saying Iraq deserved to be invade because of terrorist.

ignoring the forced subscription of their own citizens

And what caused this? What do you have to say about Putin's conscription of his own citizen?

Also, "our side"? That is your side, not "our side" because i don't stand with whatever government you have if you think "our side" are pro-israel. I'm not playing a game, i'm stating an opinion on who's wrong.

[–] encelado748@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

Ignoring how disgusting it is to minimize the deaths of the victims in a war of imperial aggression, the Russia war against Ukraine caused up to 8 times the number of dead of the genocide in Gaza after October 7th.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Gaza has no air defenses, ukraine has
