#5  Well, in that case, I do seem to recall the Ukrainian government issuing AK-47's to average citizens.

Ukes pulling the same trick as the jihadis.

#4  Putin's random attacks on apartment blocks in Kyiv and Kharkiv were taking place long before Ukraine ever started attacking Russians in their own country. Hey, you start a war then the other side gets to fight back. Deal with it Russia.

#3  I have to wonder, were Ukrainian artillery batteries using those apartment buildings as cover?

Of course, the Ukrainians--since 2014--would NEVER shell civilian targets in Donbas or burn ethnic Russians alive in an office building in Odessa.

#2  All the Russian bombings of Ukrainian apartment buildings don't compare to the Ukrainians sinking yet another Russian warship. C'mon Putin get your act together.
