On the night of 3 April, a swarm of Russian drones attacked Kharkiv, in Ukraine’s northeast.

The country’s second-largest city has been targeted almost incessantly since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

But this time was worse than usual, because, when rescue workers arrived at the scene, there was a second strike. Three of them were killed.

The following Friday, it happened again when Russian missiles hit Zaporizhzhia, a major city in Ukraine’s southeast.

Rescuers and journalists rushed to the scene, and then two more missiles hit.

In total, four people were killed and more than 20 were wounded, including two local journalists.

    Yeah, they do. Some more than others.

    The idea that all war happens outside of international law and is always breaking the Geneva conventions is false.

    It’s something war criminals and their appeasers pretend, to excuse their own actions. Kind of like those rapists who say all of us would rape people if we could get away with it. No, no we wouldn’t.

      You can safely bet the orange rapist thinks that way.
