A Ukrainian National Guard serviceman opened fire in a room at a machine building factory, killing five servicemen and injuring five others, local media have reported.

Artemiy Ryabchuk, 20, had been guarding the Pivdenmash factory in the city of Dnipro, around 240 miles southeast of the capital Kyiv, when he opened fire with a Kalashnikov assault rifle around 7 p.m. Thursday, Ukraine's internal affairs ministry said.

News outlet Syevodnya.ua reported that he took an AK-47 rifle and cartridges into a weapons room where 22 soldiers were and started shooting before fleeing.

A search for the suspect was launched in the Dnipropetrovsk region where he was later detained, Ukraine's Interior Ministry said.

A National Guard spokesman said the suspect had been with the service since last year and was "not part of a group of military personnel monitored by psychologists," news outlet Syevodnya.ua reported.

This is all fluff.

Biden is going to get declared a winner on Russia for coming to Ukraine’s aid.

Putin didn’t do anything.

To think U.S. soldiers are poised to go there. Reminds me of Afghanistan where enemies were mixed in with allies.

Afghanistan will be forgotten by the summer and Biden will be hailed as a diplomatic genius because he got Russia to back down by basically doing nothing.

0.2% of the population. Not every terroristic incident in the world can be tied back to Muslim people, contrary to the popular opinion around here.

“fool enough voters”

wrong thought — its not the votes that matter its who counts the votes. Happened in 2020.

But you know that.
