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.

All his jerk comments don't seem to help any of this. I wonder if he gets paid by the lie?
I guess there's some question in the grain-dead mind of ajerkyes about what JR meant when he called him a "jerk".
Probably, he meant that Theodor is a "jerk".
Nuance. 😉😂😂🤣🤣🤡🤡
Fixed it for ya, The Odor.
It’s pretty vobious (new word!) that you need a break from all that grain power. Too much of that is bad for you and it make you say really stupid things.
Going back to what JR did or not, is not going to help you in any way. JR is as dead as your brain.
Wow. That’s really disrespectful to Jim and his family and rather Slavnoxious. But it’s pretty vobious that the site founder meant that you act like a jerk.
My new tagline should be vobious.
Mine is now. 😁
Adorno's Drop a nuke on him!
Bikkuri:
ajerkyes self-actualized his bon mots in World’s post #147.
He couldn’t stop running his jerk mouth.
yawn... I'm an American. Not a Putinista or Ukrainista. Let them destroy each other without paying for 100s of thousands of dead men.
I don't have to wait to see how really good corruption is in Ukraine... I've got all I can handle here in the US. BY BOTH PARTIES.... The democrat/communist/anti-American party and the republican/gutless/spineless/clueless/happy loser party.
I've got some friendly advice that was given to me a long time ago... "If your at a poker table and you can't tell who the chump is.... it's you."
All we can do is educate and protect our families and hope that our children and children's children survive the coming decline of the American empire.
If Russia,China,Iran, North Korea or anyone destroyed DC/NYC/LA... it would be an improvement. The men in power see you and me as proles, pawns, tax paying cogs in the American taxpaying system gears. We are literally NOTHING to them.. a mere cost of business or rounding error in their destruction of our culture and the coming Foucault's Panopticon.
Smile, you're on candid camera.
Well said.
All the globalists love Zelenskyy.
All the anti-globalists oppose him.
Honestly, I’m kind of getting bored with TheOdor. Too predictable. You’re right - Zeepers are humorless and when they try being funny they either flop or come across as creepy and weird.
Truth.
Oh yeah, they’re pretty dull and they’re definitely deficient in the humor department.
I was kind of having fun just posting memes at him yesterday and watching him screech in response. I shouldn’t, but sometimes, I just can’t help it. It’s like turning a switch on and off.
😃😄😂🤣🤣🤣
Yikes 😳😳😳
What comment # was that?
And the 2025 Troll of the Year Award goes to…
What number suspension is this for a-dumbo? Probably the 17th, matching the same number of Zelensky’s state of emergency extensions.
