Look at these.
With all due respect mate, I am British, I do understand the toll of the Blitz. I'm just conscious of the fact that Ukraine has basically been suffering the same conditions for far longer, as pointed out by the other reply. That isn't an attempt to downplay what Britain suffered, but rather to properly recognise the severity of what Ukraine is suffering. I'm sure I don't need to send photos of the damage done by Russia.
Look at the dates. Most of those are from 1940. The most intense of the attacks happened in a span of 6-9 months.
The war in Ukraine has been going on for 3 years now. Russia drops significantly larger bombs on Ukraine. Even important historical buildings are being levelled.
(Not to minimize what the British had to endure btw, war does a horrible number on you regardless)
