      Except Zelenskyy specifically said that Ukraine WON’T target civilian aircraft. He said that there are going to be more and more drones in Russian airspace which will, naturally, make flying in that airspace riskier and more prone to collisions. He doesn’t want Ukraine to get blamed if a civilian aircraft flies into one of the many drones swarming Russian airspace, or if it gets hit by all the Russian AA firing on those drones. Since when is pointing out that warzones are dangerous, terrorism?

        He won’t. He’ll just have a million of “convenient” reasons why Russian terrorism is good, because it’s a terrorism against “bad west” and fascists and liberals. Like all of those ml bots always do.

        Shooting civilian airplanes is terrorism. No amount of whinging will save you.

          Russia has downed at least two civilian aircraft in recent years.

          Way to prove a point.

          You don’t even have to read the article, it’s right here in the summary. Where does it say they will target civilian planes?

            Netanyahu insists three IDF doesn’t target civilians.

            There’s a lesson to learn about taking leaders of governments’ words at face value that y’all refuse to learn.

            I don’t think Ukraine is targeting or planning to target civilian aircraft, but it’s incredibly stupid to base that conclusion on “he said he won’t do it”.
