And when Russia inevitably retaliates we'll be reading headlines about unprovoked escalation by Russia.
Russia's been bombing Ukrainian schools and hospitals, if Russia does retaliate I don't think a drone attack on war planes is sufficient to call it "provoked".
If you want to look at what bombing schools and hospitals actually looks like then look no further than Gaza and the genocide western regimes are openly supporting.
Good way to use an ongoing genocide, to justify the deeds of your personal favorite imperial power.
I'm not justifying anything. I'm pointing out what actual attacks on civilians look like. There is zero evidence that Russia engages in systemic attacks on civilians in the war. In fact, civilian casualties in Ukraine are far lower than pretty much any modern war. Yet, here you are regurgitating propaganda for your favorite empire.
And there is plenty of evidence from fucking Amnesty (an unofficial arm of the UK government) that Ukraine overwhelmingly uses schools and hospitals to set up military equipment and host personnel.

Standard US-taught tactics. It's no coincidence that Israel accuses others of using human shields while doing the same thing as Ukraine: using civilian infrastructure to launch military operations.
