Another attempt on Sternenko's life, for the fourth time, I guess?
- gotta look on the bight side. he's alive, will recover, and it's been a very good day of fundraising for the sternenko fund
  Also some traitor will spend the a long time in a Ukrainian prison after having failed in her mission.
  
  Yeah, people like this woman show the true face of Russia and pro-Russian people. The important thing is that Sternenko is alive, and the traitor will rot in prison.

  Really wish we could bring back cruel and unusual punishments for people like this.
  
  cant believe this needs to be said, but please dont donate to the fund of a neonazi organizer and convicted murderer.
Crazy video. Man, you can get video of everything today. Glad he's ok, he's a true patriot.
- 4th time he's escaped death
"Activist/volunteer" makes it sound like he's distributing medicine or rescuing pets.
He's building drones to be used as weapons for the Ukrainian military.
To be honest he is a legitimate military target just like a munitions factory on either side. This is actually an improvement over the usual Russian barbarism.
I am glad he is okay and can keep helping the cause but the framing seems almost disingenuous.
- Whether he is a legitimate military target is disputable, because the whole war russia started is illegitimate. Although granted, at least he isn't a medic or a child.
- Yeah only sources i can find reporting on this right now are ukraine ones so their description of him will be fairly warm.
  Still they're not wrong. he is a volunteer, and he is an activist. Whether putting drones in the hands of the AFU makes him a legitimate target or not is largely moot. It's a good thing he survived, and it's a good thing a traitor failed and will rot in prison
- “Activist/volunteer” makes it sound like he’s distributing medicine or rescuing pets.
  Not really. I thought it meant he was just vocal in his opposition to the invasion.
Violent neonazi Sternenko? The guy that built up the right sector in Odessa just before the trade union building fire/murders? That Sternenko? Fuck him, hope he dies soon.
