-At least 20 dead, including three children, and 90 hurt after three Russian rockets struck city of Vinnytsya

-Office block was badly damaged in Thursday morning attack, which also torched vehicles in nearby car park

-Zelensky called strike 'terrorism', saying there are no military targets in city which is 450 mm the miles from the front

-It is the sixth Russian strike in a little over two weeks to hit a purely civilian target, with scores of people killed

At least 20 people - including three children - are dead and 90 wounded after Russian rockets hit another Ukrainian city in Putin's latest atrocity against civilians.

Three missiles slammed into a nine-storey office block in the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsya - 450 miles from the Donbas frontline - around 10.50am, partially destroying the building, damaging nearby residential structures, and demolishing a medical centre, emergency services said. Four more missiles were shot down in the area.

'Unfortunately, there is probably no chance of finding anyone who survived (under the rubble),' stated a senior regional emergency service official.

President Zelensky branded Russia 'a terrorist country' as he condemned the attack, which comes off the back of at least six similar strikes in a little over two weeks targeting purely civilian areas across the country.

'Every day, Russia destroys the civilian population, kills Ukrainian children, directs rockets at civilian objects where there is nothing military.

'What is this, if not an open act of terrorism? Inhumans. A killer country. A terrorist country.'

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Russia of committing 'another war crime'.

Ukraine says Putin's men are taking an 'operation pause' before pushing on with their offensive, but that has not stopped them raining down death from a distance.

Thank you. Have you noticed they actually attack the United States involvement in WW2?
I’ve had them say Russia and Germany should divide up Europe, like in ww2.
Maybe they are useful idiots but they sure hate America.

It is not a civil war. Ukraine is an independent country. I have family and friends in the Donbas. I care about them. They want to defend their country from the 2014 invasion as well as the later one.

Why don’t you take your own advice. If it is not your circus, then stay off of Ukraine threads.

Once again, then get out and go to the utopia of Putin’s peaceful Russia.

You can spend your time there fantasizing about gay statues, US atrocities, and whatever else turns on America haters.

Three missiles hit. Ukraine says they shot down 4 missiles.

-Zelensky called strike ‘terrorism’, saying there are no military targets in city which is 450 mm the miles from the front

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Air_Force

The Ukrainian Air Force (Ukrainian: Повітряні Сили України, romanized: Povitryani Syly Ukrayiny) is the air force of Ukraine and one of the five branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[5] Its headquarters are in the city of Vinnytsia. When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, many aircraft were left in Ukrainian territory. Ever since, the Ukrainian Air Force has been downsizing and upgrading its forces. The main inventory of the air force still consists of Soviet-made aircraft. As of 2007, 36,300 personnel and 225 aircraft were in service in the Ukrainian Air Force and Air Defense forces.[6][7]

Because these people are immoral, and while they might be in their 40’s to 70’s their outbursts are as silly and insensitive as any loud arrogant and ignorant child.

The news story is about innocents blown up in an office building and they rush to justify it, tell you they don’t care, it’s just like what America does, etc.

IOW they are A holes.

You again?
So when did you crawl out of your pro lockdown, pro “vaccine” dictatorship stink-hole?
Putin has his faults, but he is a far better human than the depraved, “shower with his own daughter” Dementia Joe will ever be.

Some of the Russian trolls are Russian. And even the ones who are not Russian spout the exact same phrases as Moscow’s pro-Putin talking heads.

--- "THIS IS AN INVASION OF A SOVEREIGN NATION!"

It seems obvious that you are emotional over this, writing in capital letters. Some on this topic disagree with you, in one way or another.

But to be fair to opinions on this and other threads like it, once one establishes a rule or definition, one should abide by it. "Invasion of a sovereign nation...."

Burning US treasure and American lives for decades, our own government has invaded quite a number of other sovereign nations. To what ends? To what outcomes?

Those who say the Ukraine/Russia "special military operation" is unjustified might well recall our good old American "police actions" and "kinetic" responses and more. "Bombs away" has been American policy in invading sovereign nations aplenty.

How did our invasion of Afghanistan work out long term? How did NATO's bombing of Serbia work out long term? How did destroying Libya work out so far? So many "sovereign nation" nations to discuss, should you wish to do so. Or do rules and definitions change depending on some as yet unspecified rule of debate?

Huh? We went out of our way to kill as many civilians as possible. Nuking and firebombing cities.

Early in WWII we didn’t. Then the Axis powers started moving factories and warehouses into residential areas. It took until 1944 for us to bomb civilians and even then there was a destroying military infrastructure element to it.

When the Japanese refused to surrender we thought we could “horrify” the citizens into pressuring the government for peace by firebombing Tokyo. Didn’t work. If you read the Japanese editorials and communications at that time, they were prepared to sacrifice their entire society.

"Why don’t you take your own advice. If it is not your circus, then stay off of Ukraine threads."

Because Forever War fanatics like you will gladly spend all of America's blood and treasure overseas to fight this stupid war to make our leftist establishment rich. The Forever War and foreign "aid" are just blood fueled moneymaking schemes for the globalist left. That is why.

The way they fought at Okinawa to the last man and sacrificed their civilians, pretty much told us how an invasion of Japan was going to go. The die was cast.

“Putin is in Moscow right now?”

Don’t know! Putin may be hiding in his underground city bunker in Ural mountains or dacha in Sochi taking his baths in antler blood.

Good grief! I didn’t see the Jews in carpet bombing of Donetsk and Novaya Kahovka by Ukraine yesterday.

Poor string of excuses for American mass murders you have going on there.
Nobody has the right to drop nuclear weapons on innocent women, children and old folks in any city, just because its the easiest way to win a war.
