In what can only be described as a case of “Russians being Russians,” explosions and missile strikes have rocked cities in southern Ukraine. This incident has left the entire world wondering: what did these poor cities ever do to deserve this?
The eastern city of Slovyansk was hit the hardest, with at least two people being killed and 29 others injured in the process. We can only imagine the faces of the Russian officials responsible for this debacle when they realized they hit the wrong city. “Oops, did we do that?” they must have thought.
In response to this ridiculous chain of events, Ukrainian officials have decided to fight fire with humor. They have renamed the affected cities to hilarious names like “Make Russia Great Again,” “No, We Don’t Want Your Vodka,” and “Putin Go Home.” They have also taken to social media to share memes and jokes about the whole fiasco, proving once again that laughter is the best medicine.
Meanwhile, the Russians are trying to cover up their mistake by blaming it on a faulty GPS system. “We thought we were target practicing in Siberia,” one official sheepishly admitted. We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but Siberia doesn’t have cities, guys.
All in all, this whole situation is one huge joke (except for the unfortunate casualties, of course), and we can only hope that it won’t escalate to something more serious. Until then, we’ll just sit back and enjoy the comedic relief provided by our Ukrainian friends.
