Russian troops launched an airstrike on a Ukrainian military base just 15 miles east of the Polish border, officials said Sunday, in what appeared to be the westernmost attack of the war, according to a report.

Regional governor Maksym Kozytskyy said at least 35 people were killed and 134 were wounded, according to an update Sunday Reuters reported. It was initially reported that at least nine people were killed in the attack and 57 wounded.

NATO sometimes conducts joint military exercises with Ukraine at the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security training base in Yavoriv and U.S. and other foreign troops had been at the base before the invasion, according to Reuters. Poland is a member of NATO.

Things get broken, people get killed. The call it “war” for a reason.

Hypothetically, and I am speaking hypothetically here, what would happen if Russian ordnance struck Poland? Would Poland counter attack while most of Russia's military is bogged down in Ukraine? Would China move to seize the Northern Resource Zone? Could Poland actually take Moscow? Would Kaliningrad invade Poland for the Rodina?

Russia “launched an air strike on the International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security,”, head of the Lviv regional administration, Maxim Kozitsky, said on his verified Facebook page.

The military base in Yavoriv, located some 40 kilometres (25 miles) northwest of Lviv, was a training centre for Ukrainian forces with foreign instructors, including from the United States and Canada.

It was also a hub for joint exercises of Ukrainians soldier with NATO allies. Foreign troops left Ukraine shortly before Russian launched an invasion of its neighbour on February 24.

NATO would probably not mind sacrificing Poland for the greater good.

Base naming straight out of 1984.

NATO has been subverted. It’s now another branch of the New World Order pushing one-world government.

To remind those who seem to believe destruction and death are shocking or unheard of in war (especially if Russia does it) that - as Ben Shapiro might say - war facts don’t care about their feelings.
(That’s assuming such a claim to be real in the first place.)

True, the EU has voted to punish Poland and Hungary because of their hate for the conservative leadership that does not promote homo values in these two countries. Elections are coming up so the people will be punished so that they vote how EU wants them to.

US does the same dirty tactics.
