A Russian missile strike on port infrastructure in Odesa in southern Ukraine killed eight people and wounded 27, Ukraine’s emergency service said Saturday, as a a Kremlin envoy was set to travel to Florida for talks on a U.S.-proposed plan to end the nearly four-year war,
The discussions are part of the Trump administration's monthslong push for peace that also included meetings with Ukrainian and European officials in Berlin earlier this week. Ukraine's chief negotiator said late Friday that his delegation had completed separate meetings in the U.S. with American and European partners.
Meanwhile, European Union leaders agreed on Friday to provide a massive interest-free loan to Ukraine to meet its military and economic needs for the next two years.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said much will depend on the U.S. posture after discussions with the Russians.
Speaking at a press conference in Kyiv with Portuguese Prime Minister Luís Montenegro, Zelenskyy said that "the key question remains how the United States responds after consultations with the Russians. At this point, I honestly don’t know, but I will know later today."
Some of those wounded in Odesa were on a bus at the center of the strike late Friday, the emergency service said in a Telegram post. Trucks caught fire in the parking lot and cars were also damaged.
The port was struck with ballistic missiles, said Oleh Kiper, the head of the Odesa region.
Moscow did not immediately acknowledge reports of the attack. The Russian Defense Ministry said Saturday that over the previous day, it had struck unspecified "transport and storage infrastructure used by the Ukrainian armed forces," along with energy facilities and those supplying Kyiv's war effort.

Let’s take a look at what’s happening.
The globalists are faced with advancing their cause of globalism against the will of the people of the world.
Some people don’t oppose globalism, but this is only because they don’t know what it is.
Just like with communism, which is highly associated with globalism.
Both globalism and communism try to pretend they don’t exist.
Many of the countries you named are in fact part of the globalist coalition.
I think what might be making it difficult for you to focus is the fact that globalists are like cancer, or like viruses. They infiltrate their host, which is in a normal state before they infiltrate, and once they’re inside the globalists try to look like everyone else.
But globalists are not like everyone else. And at this point they’ve infiltrated every country, and every institution within each country. But they’re low IQ—remember this.
Given the state of infiltration, it’s hard to know who’s normal and who’s working for the globalists. We even have such infiltrators on this website, believe it or not.
“Globalization is the exchange of goods, services, and capital across national borders.”
No, you’re wrong. You’re trying to redefine globalism so normal people will accept it. See my above post #202 on globalism.

CORRECTION: NATIONALISTS OPPOSE PUTIN
Globalization is the exchange of goods, services, and capital across national borders. Trade agreements with two or more nations establishes terms for exchanging goods and services beneficial to all parties.
Ukraine attempted to create a free-market economy where prices are set by supply and demand and are affected by competition.
PUTIN STOPPED UKRAINE FROM ENTERING TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH THE EU WHICH LED TO PUTIN’S INVASION OF UKRAINE
Just off the top of my head nations that OPPOSE Putin’s invasion of Ukraine:
Germany, France Czechoslovakia, Austria, Poland, Japan, Georgia, Estonia [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTUXd-YMPyE], Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Switzerland has imposed economic sanctions against Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine, marking a significant shift from its traditional neutrality; Netherlands, Albania, Slovakia, Romania, Moldova, Hungary, Ireland, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, U.S. of A. etc, etc. ** Please pardon exclusion of nations that I have missed.
Also, consider Russian leaders that also OPPOSE Putin:Kara-Murza, Yashin, Navalnaya.

ACTUALLY, PUTIN IS THE ULTIATE GLOBALIST that desires to take over one nation at a time.

Globalization is the denial of the people’s right to exchange goods, services and capital.
This explains President Trump’s war against the globalists.
Some of them are not so obvious. But I can tell when they’ve read my deep state file.
Screw EU, screw Russia, and screw Ukraine. They need to take their cultist beliefs somewhere else.
Amen! 👏👏👏
I wish the eastern Euro mafia would go infest some other site. We’re not buying what they’re selling.
It is true, many Freepers belong to Mensa.
However, the intent of Ukraine is to survice as a nation not erase the Russian Federation.
A sovereign nation has the right to exchange: goods, services and capital without being invaded.
I very rarely read her spammy cut & paste word salads, but I saw reasonisfaith’s reply to one of the comments on that post and decided to read it.
Great balls of fire! That’s not what one expects to see on FR. It’s even outright defending globalism. Is the other dreck she posts as bad as that? I guess I’ll have to read the spam more often, as much as I despise it.
I guess The Jerk Troll got sent back down to The Toddler Table, where he can throw tantrums and vomit verbal abuse all his widdle heart desires... 😂😂😂
Revenue Mom [hat-tip to Jane Long] has lost her little abuse troll/pal ajerkyes.
She is saddened - while her precious AFU gets stomped into the ground.
Sounds like Little Zelya made a BIG mistake having his terror goons send drones after The Putin’s residence.
Too clever by half...
Does a sovereign individual have rights?
