A single 98 year old out walks artillery? Jesus, the Russians are SO bad at this.

I mean to be fair, artillery isn't exactly meant to be mobile

I don't think they were targeting a 98 year old civilian. If they start shooting civilians people get upset

She said the war that now Russia is waging against her country is nothing like World War Two.

"Houses are burning and trees are being uprooted," she said.

I really hope there's something very wrong with the translation of her statement because... as far as my limited WW2 knowledge goes, by 1941 Ukraine was held by the Germans and by 1943 the USSR was attacking Kiev.
