>>15731792Ukraine kind of fucked themselves by deliberately appropriating schools, hospitals, churches, shopping malls and just residential areas in general into forward bases and barracks.
Russia generally avoided bombing such targets early on unless they had direct confirmation that people where using them as bases. But it has happened so frequently they don't care anymore.
War is hell, and the rules to minimize casualties for non-combatants have been ignored and here we are.
>>15737614Hell no, the EU has been on the cusp of a secession crisis since Brexit. Now financially speaking, the entire union is practically held together by France, Italy, and Germany to cover the poor nations in it like Greece, Romania, Poland and Slovakia. Ukraine is poorer than any other nation in the EU right now, and has well over 40,000,000 people. They just can't afford it.
Plus they don't need Ukranian membership to gain access to the vast natural resources Ukraine has either, since the EU is still primarily an economic union.
