Jochen Actually this CNN video supports my observations that ordinary Ukrainians simply can't understand the "geo-political" reasons why Russia is attacking them. The sooner this stops the better.
All these "barbaric" assaults on civilians are part and parcel of Russian methods and they write it off to collateral damage. In any case, Russian missiles /rockets are not designed for precision, but to make it up in sheer numbers. PS: I personally have considerable knowledge of Soviet munition platforms and their tactics, which I can't really disclose over a public forum, but there is no way I hold a brief for the Russians or swallow their propaganda.
