Vladimir Putin has left Odesa "in flames" after launching a devastating post-ceasefire kamikaze drone attack that injured three people, including a young girl.

Dramatic footage taken by residents living in the southern Ukrainian city shows the orange glow of a massive explosion and shockwaves rocking local infrastructure following the worst done attack of the war so far, with more than a dozen civilian targets believed to have been hit this evening alone. The smouldering remains of several buildings can be seen as smoke rises high into the air and pressure can be heard batting at buildings in videos posted on Telegram as the attack hit the southern portion of the city. Photos posted online by locals show fires in what appear to be multiple separate locations lighting up massive columns of smoke, which could be seen from miles around.

(Ukraine needs to hit ALL of Russias oil refineries and destroy them to end this war)

Rubbish. That will escalate the war to no ends. The penis piano playing Zelenskyy didn’t have to launch a strike against Russia this morning when a cease-fire was taking place. Crooked nose Zelenskyy doesn’t want peace as Trump proposed to him. Trump and Putin are on the same wavelength trying to put an agreement together but the grifter is defying them.

'Everything is finished': Ukrainian troops relive retreat from Kursk

Ukrainian soldiers fighting in Russia's Kursk region have described scenes "like a horror movie" as they retreated from the front lines.

The BBC has received extensive accounts from Ukrainian troops, who recount a "catastrophic" withdrawal in the face of heavy fire, and columns of military equipment destroyed and constant attacks from swarms of Russian drones.

There was a ceasefire regarding energy infrastructure which Z immediately broke. If Ukraine doesn’t get rid of this little dictator, it will lose Odessa too.

“On March 18, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed that the first step toward peace would be a 30-day cessation of hostilities against ENERGY and infrastructure sectors.

Following the agreement, Russian military forces immediately SHOT DOWN seven of their own drones that were reportedly targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities linked to the defense industry in the Nikolayev region.

However, just hours after the Putin-Trump conversation, the Ukrainian regime launched a DRONE ATTACK on oil facilities in the village of Kavkazskaya in Russia’s Krasnodar region on the night of March 19. UAV debris damaged a pipeline between fuel storage tanks.”

“Heaviest of war” and three injuries? Something doesn’t sound right.

Let’s kill as many people and do as much destruction before a ceasefire.

Ask General Milley. That “3 day” BS you are always quoting is his quote. Stop lying.

Putin did accept the deal and shot down seven Russian drones that had just been launched. Winston Z broke the ceasefire shortly thereafter.

I was wondering when Putin was going to take the gloves off.

Add me to the list.

Zelensky’s Presidential term expired. When will the generals escort him to the brig? They can negotiate a peace.

Zelensky should not have attacked Russia yesterday. I think he has no interest in peace. It would stop the Dem gravy train dead in its tracks.

Eurohomos don’t want Trump to end this war and get credit for it at any price.

Of course not! Kiev was never a goal. It will take Putin at most till the end of summer to totally reclaim the Russian territory that was the goal, the four Russian oblasts of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia.

Putin could have taken Kiev in 2022 had he not fallen for Z’s Istanbul treachery. After the peace was negotiated, Putin VOLUNTARILY withdrew his forces from Kiev’s doorstep as part of the deal. Then the mop headed warmonger showed up and strangled the peace in its crib.

You surely remember. I’ve explained this to you umpteen times since April of 2022. You know, what is now universally accepted by all but the few bitter ender Uke Globohomo cheerleaders.

Zelensky is done if there is no war. Europe might be also. Dangerous game they play.

Bolsheviks like Putin want war and their political opponents dead. Always have. Always will.

Kyiv was a feint that wiped out Putin’s VDV in Hostomel.
