At least 7 Ukrainians dead — including 5-year-old girl — in Russian drone attack ahead of cease-fire talks
NY Post ^ | 3/23/2025 | Ronny Reyes

At least seven people are dead, including a 5-year-old girl, after Russia launched nearly 150 drones across Ukraine overnight — just a day before cease-fire talks are set to resume, officials said.

The Kremlin fired 147 explosive drones early Sunday across the Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Odesa and Donetsk regions, with the Ukrainian military able to shoot down or deflect 122 of the UAVs.

One of the drones that made it through Ukraine’s defenses hit the capital city of Kyiv, killing three people; including the little girl, her father and an 80-year-old woman, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

Another 10 people were injured in the blast, according to the city’s military administration.

The attack saw sirens blaring in the capital for more than five hours as Russian drones were blown out of the sky, with the debris falling onto residential buildings.

Four other people were killed in the attack on the Donetsk region, including three who were blown up in a single strike in the frontline town of Dobropillya, regional Gov. Vadym Filashkin said.

Ok, so now the NYP is pulling propaganda duty.

Figures.

They’d actually be defined as ‘journalists’ if they reported the truth about the chances of a ‘ceasefire’ that the costumed warrior doesn’t want.

Illegal aliens murdered more innocent Americans in NYC this weekend than were killed in this war zone that is none of America's business.

I suspect this was a deflected Drone that went off course and struck an
Apartment Complex. Unfortunate, but War Continues.

it is unfortunate They talk about the African Einsteins but in reality, any one of these Ukrainians could have been an Einstein. Terrible to see such good stock being thrown down the toilet. This is why we don’t have forever wars.

Some interesting facts about their war.

Z doesn’t want it to stop. He’s quite happy being a rich dictator of a country that is being subsidized by other countries at mass trillions. And it’s got worth tht russia is counting on.

Economic interests were also a motive for Russia’s attack on Ukraine and its annexation of the southeast. Control of lithium deposits in the Donbas and Ukraine’s grain wealth would give Russia a “monopoly on the world market”. In 2022, Russian General Vladimir Ovchinsky confirmed that the “Russian special operation” aimed to seize Ukrainian lithium deposits.

The US government estimates that Russia’s economic losses from the war and Western sanctions will amount to around $1.3 trillion by 2025, and Russia’s direct financial spending on the invasion is estimated at $250 billion (as of late 2024) – costs that Russia could not have foreseen. According to a study published in mid-2022 by Canadian think tank SecDev, Russia seized energy reserves, metals and minerals worth at least $12.4 trillion in the Donbas, including 41 coal fields (63 percent of Ukraine’s coal reserves), 27 natural gas fields, 9 oil fields, 6 iron ore deposits, two titanium ore deposits, a strontium deposit, a uranium deposit, a gold deposit and a large limestone quarry. The total value of raw material stocks in Ukraine is estimated at over $26 trillion. The value of lithium and rare earths in Ukraine is estimated at $11.5 trillion. In January 2024, the Russian occupation government in Donetsk Oblast granted the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources permission to mine lithium in the Shevchenko deposit near Kurakhovo, which is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of US dollars.

The Russian elite, especially Russian generals, had invested assets and property in Ukraine for money laundering purposes before the invasion.

There were over 145 drones sent in and they killed less than 10 people. But it was just enough to get some attention.

I wouldn’t put it past Z to drone his own people for worth gain. He has a history of trying to be a drama queen and a few lives for his country’s trillons would be a feather in his cap along with his personal purse strings.

Has anyone come with an article that says the Russians admitted to the attack and where it came from. I found nothing. So who sent them?

War is bad. Don’t get into one you don’t have to.

Note to US, don’t let the State Department or USAID get you into one under any circumstances.

Yup, and our special envoy Steve Witkoff, "feels" Putin wants peace.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism on Sunday ahead of high-stakes talks in Saudi Arabia to end the war in Ukraine and said he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to end the three-year-old conflict.

"I feel that he wants peace," Witkoff told Fox News.
