A high-rise apartment block in Kyiv was hit by a devastating missile this morning as fighting continues to rage in the capital between Russian attackers and Ukrainian forces. Emergency services said the number of victims from the attack in the Zhuliany district was 'being specified' and that an evacuation was underway. Images show the tower block with a hole covering at least five floors blasted into the side and rubble strewn across the street below.

It comes as a barrage of cruise missiles have also been launched by Russian forces against Ukrainian military facilities.

They don’t care. They’re Russian. But, two jet transports downed full of paratroopers. Russian mothers might care.

The FoxNes Generals say insider sources claiming Russian claims of precision armament not panning out. Their cruise misilles are not accurate enough for military value but only useful as terror weapons.

The claims of hypersonic anti ship killers accuracy by Russia has been put into serioius doubt and deeper dives into that area will be initiated.

If the Ukrainians are smart, they will broadcast the names of russians dead or captured in Ukraine by air or internet, and let the Russian population see what Putin is doing to their loved ones.

Why advertise the deaths? War always brings death, destruction and misery. Putin and Zelensky knew ahead people would die if they didn’t settle their differences....as well Biden and all the other nation leaders.

I don’t know any nation leader that goes to war without knowing their will be destruction and death. That’s why it’s avoided if at all possible.

Well every nation that goes to war people want an accountability. ...except of course when we go to war with other countries. It always seems somehow we’re justified.

Also sadly is seeing how many are fighting and using armament they aren’t accustomed to firing. Lots of mishaps for that.

Saw one Ukraine soldier that said he’d only ever fired 16 rounds since being in the Military. He was guarding Kiev.

This is going to get really nasty once the citizens start fighting.....there’s no way they can tell the paramilitary groups from Russians. A lot of life will be lost for that.

It’s a shame those 300 young paratroopers were downed and didn’t get to illustrate their professionalism against citizens.

Ya hate to see it.

The trail is typical for SAM.

Should be enough justification to send in US troops.

Gee, when the Ukrainians started parking their tanks next to these buildings, it was exactly for this purpose, and I posted it before this happened.

Also, the free weapons thing has gangs, drunks, and criminals go “Chicago” on each other, and the innocent residents.

Find the video of the incident. The trail is typical for heavier surface to air missile.

It's the same group of people who also state Trump is still President, Biden was never sworn in and has never set foot in the White House, the Biden we keep seeing on TV is a body double, the military is and has been in control of the US government since Trump "signed the insurrection act", Galactics from outer space have provided us with technology to impose a "Quantum Financial System", and other assorted insane nonsense.

Yes, I saw the video..S-300?
Saw the AA fire from outskirts, and time stamped vid’s less than a minute, IIRC, later, apartment building hit.

Aside from the AA launch video, the Huge smoke trail discounts the popular narrative, does it not?
