>Which is why a simultaneous targetted assassinations of Putin, his key government supporters, and the oligarchs is needed.

It's ironic that while Ukrainian supporters like you dream about terrorist attacks, Putin himself doesn't order strikes against Kiev government.

Russia literally tried to annex all of Ukraine. How is that not an attack on the government?

You are hopelessly wrong.

I'm not sure I'd describe it as hopelessly wrong. He is intentionally spreading disinformation here, and has been for quite some time.

It's Putin who dreams of terrorist attacks. He attacks civilian targets, schools, hospitals, and residential areas almost constantly. To terrorize Ukrainians. Ukraine targets only military targets. Even after years of suffering Russia's terrorism.

And Putin has ordered multiple attempts to assassinate various presidents of Ukraine, including Zelensky. Putin as commander of this brutal war is absolutely a valid target.

Putin absolutely orders attacks on Kyiv, and he would take out the Ukrainian government if he could. The Russians just lack the capacity to do so.

It’s so funny all those Russia ‘supporters’ are unable to at least cover themselves with the proper correct spelling of Kyiv, they must write it as Russia does, wrongly. It’s so easily visible now, since the rest of the world respects Ukrainian choice to have their name written properly.

Bonus: now it’s so noticeable, the time zones in Linux. When I’m interacting with some old distros, it was Europe/Kiev, now it’s Europe/Kyiv. Mostly only Russians and their ‘supporters’ (usually just bots from the suburbs of St Petersburg) continue to write Kiev. Plus some people who are not interested in the topic, like at all. Or those who happen to read what Russians distribute. Next time you see Kiev anywhere, pay your attention at what narrative that person is pushing.
