The Guardian (Live news feed):
"The strikes came as Ukraine celebrated Statehood Day for the first time. In a national message, the president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said: "Restless morning. Again – missile terror. We will not give up. We will not give up. Do not intimidate us. Ukraine is an independent, free, indivisible state. And it will always be like that.""
Putin is using the same method as Churchill and Roosevelt: terror bombing. Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima. Terror bombing is totally unjustifiable, a war crime (if it can be proven that unguided missiles didn't hit civilian targets by mistake). But this evil strategy can be effective, if the goal is to destroy the economy of large cities. It should not surprise Zelenskiy, because he knew what Russian orcs did to Grozny, but he still led Ukrainians to the butcher: Putin. Kremlin can now continue this missile terrorism until 2075 or longer, if Ukraine doesn't get superior air defense systems, at which point the Russians must either give up or (through proxy) attack US coasts and London.
As I have always said in this conflict: I'm an ethno-nationalist, so I hope ethnic Ukrainians kick out both woke imperial NATO and non-woke imperial Russia. I don't support Zelenskiy however, because he's a neoliberal, trying to turn Ukraine into sleazy California. However, if Zelenskiy wants support from cultural conservatives, then he should use his public hero status in California to convince the US entertainment industry that it should respect true diversity instead of spreading libertine wokeness. Zelenskiy is spending much of his time on social media and using other international platforms to increase public support for Ukraine. But he ignores cultural conservatives. Why on Earth should cultural conservatives support a neoliberal government in Ukraine? But if Zelenskiy proves that he's willing to protect conservative values against the cultural imperialism of US coasts, then rightwing people will naturally support his government, similar to how we already support ethnic Ukrainians who fight to defend their homeland.
