Explosions rock Kyiv again as Russians rain fire on Ukraine
AP News ^ | April 28, 2022 | DAVID KEYTON and INNA VARENYTSIA

Russia pounded targets from practically one end of Ukraine to the other Thursday, including Kyiv, bombarding the city while the head of the United Nations was visiting in the boldest attack on the capital since Moscow’s forces retreated weeks ago.

Several people were wounded in the attack on Kyiv, including one who lost a leg and others who were trapped in the rubble when two buildings were hit, rescue officials said.

The bombardment came barely an hour after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a news conference with U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, who said Ukraine has become “an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain.” A spokesperson said Guterres and his team were safe.

Meanwhile, explosions were reported across the country, in Polonne in the west, Chernihiv near the border with Belarus, and Fastiv, a large railway hub southwest of the capital.

“an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain.”

I hear there’s wonderful things happening in Africa right now.
Syria is a Utopia as well.

Did the Russians plug the leak which was betraying their strike targets to the Ukrianians, or are they still hitting empty location which the targets already evacuated?

Watch the Putinistas now rain down hatred on the UN instead of saying anything about the barbarity of indiscriminate shelling of civilians.

They all have stiffies now, I bet.

Did anyone really think the Russians were going to ignore all the non-Ukrainian fighting personnel, equipment, and intel?

Seriously, though, I’m not a particularly young man and my whole life, every single English language book and publication spelled that city “Kiev” until this BS war started. The hivemind is real.

Very little hard news about the war front. It doesn’t follow the narrative.

Americans have become The Borg, resistance is futile.

Even on FR things have devolved into name calling and binary arguments. As if all thoughts and decisions are either A or B. There are no other options.

I post the entire headline without changes (including spelling), so FR’s Search function will help prevent duplicate threads, however you have a valid point.

“notice Russia is using only missiles”

That’s a very expensive, limited resource and risky.

And yet there were civilian casualties. And Guterres is also a civilian.
