Summary
Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Christmas Day, using 184 missiles and drones, resulting in power cuts across the country.
Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the attack, calling it “inhumane” and a “conscious choice” by Russia.
Despite the damage and casualties, Ukrainians remain resilient, celebrating Christmas amidst the crisis.
Sure, but whataboutism doesn’t change the gravity if this situation.
Genuine question; What is whataboutism on what I said?
I didn’t see your comment till just now. Sorry you got down voted. People are dumb for down voting you because you asked a question. I saw an answer, so have an upvote friend :)
No worries, I don’t keep myself busy with up/downvote system. I actually disabled it a long while ago. Especially since it means nothing on Lemmy (as far as I know).
People downvote me because they don’t agree with my opinion, that’s all.
People down vote you because you act like someone without empathy.
Zelensky said something about X You said “well he didn’t do anything about Y”
That’s whataboutism. You may have meant it honestly, but ultimately what that kind of argument does is attempt to reduce zelenskys response to this action by comparing it to how he may have done something not as good in a different situation.
Thanks. I wasn’t certain what I meant.
My point is; he condemns Russia but encouraged Israel to do the same thing (and worse) to Palestinians. That’s in my opinion, bullshit.
But that’s my opinion and opinions differ.
Not really, not at all actually.
See Iran, Qatar and Russian supported proxy groups reignited the Palestine-Israel conflict to derail a Israeli-Saudi peace deal (that would have benefited the Palestine Authority).

Zelensky: Israel has ‘indisputable’ right to defend itself from terror and yet no word of him about what Israel is doing now against Palestinians. It’s all in the name of self-defense, I suppose.
Your source is from the day of the attack and is worthless is this context.
