LVIV, Ukraine — At least 35 people were killed and 134 people injured when a Russian airstrike hit a military base in western Ukraine about 20 miles from the Polish border, Ukrainian officials said Sunday.
“The airstrike was carried out from the Black and Azov seas,” Lviv regional administration head Maksym Kozytskiy, said in a Telegram post, which confirmed the number of dead an injured. He added that around 30 missiles had hit the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security in Yavoriv.

Imagine that - an airbase being attacked during a war. How could that have happened?
Obama does not even care.
Brandon does not even know.- it’s a weekend. He is transfusing in the basement.
It’s not just any military base. It’s the International Center For Peacekeeping And Security...where NATO and the U.S. have trained Ukrainian forces. Also of note is that the missile came from a Russian ship
Maybe was a weapons stash from the Poland border being brought in. They said they are tracking these weapons given by US and they are targets. That close to the border makes me wonder. But of course the ukraines will say it’s a peaceful building or area..

Col Macgregor:”We’re in a very Dangerous Position Right Now”

NATO troops having once visited there really means nothing. Does that mean NATO has consecrated it?
If it’s in ukraine then it’s gonna be a target for russia. We have no business in there.
Yep, a negotiated surrender and agreement would save lives.
No NATO forces there — all NATO instructors left Ukraine on Feb 24. Or so they say.
Per Russian Ministry of Defense about 180 “volunteers” were killed in this strike.

You’re probably right. They should disperse those weapons asap. Maybe bring them in individually on Toyota pickup trucks.
“Yep, a negotiated surrender and agreement would save lives.”
Yes, I hope Putin realizes he has lost and surrenders soon.
The thing is that the media is trying to block russian media and reports of what they say is happening. The media is pumping out info saying how good and strong the ukraine is and how they are winning this war and russia is losing. If that’s true then russia will simply sit back and bomb the crap out of them. They could have done this from the start. Sit home and drop bombs and flatten the places and then go in with troops.. They are collecting things as they go. Putin is after intel also. Maybe info on biden family and things perhaps..
“ Putin is after intel also. Maybe info on biden family and things perhaps..”
Perhaps ….
“NATO countries, including the United States, have not done so due to concerns that the moves could seriously escalate the conflict with Russia.”
Putin hit targets inside the Ukraine borders. And he did it for a reason. If you don’t want to be a target, get outside the borders and don’t try to assist either side. The above statement I posted is absolutely correct. Putin’s committed and he doesn’t dare back down now. Anyone that wants to play the game and be in the dugout is fair game. This is Putin’s way of saying it.
Another point is that they are talking about a no fly zone. Putin does not have to send aircraft into the area as displayed by this attack. So telling Putin not to fly into airspace over a war zone is worthless. We’re back to, “Stop or I’ll say stop again.”
Additionally, Putin is using Tsirkon missiles that travel at mach 8. For a missile to be vulnerable after it is fired it has to be under mach 6. Tsirkon, by NATO named SS-N-33, is a scramjet-powered, vertically launched maneuvering weapon said to reach a speed of Mach 8 (eight times the speed of sound), or 9,800 km/h. Such speed means it can’t be intercepted by any existing missile defense systems and the odds of hitting it with an aircraft are very low. Plus trying to take out 30 of them is not good odds either.
By putting aircraft into the air to do so, constitutes an act of war and they are now open for attack on their soil from Russia and it becomes open season possibly leading to a nuclear conflict. Everyone loses that one.

There would be no war at all if Russia had not attacked.
There are many radar blips across the border with NATO members.
Hungary scrambled fighters twice on Friday because of radar contacts. They found nothing.
But you can be Russia is covering the borders with drones so they can intercept arms shipments.
Russia doesn’t have any business there, either. But it wants to control Ukraine so it can blackmail all the countries in Europe.
Is this the Ukrainian deep state obama and soros installed in 2014.
