-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.

“Maybe western leaders should have attempted to avoid the war”
Winston Churchill said in 1948: If we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

The fact they’re targeting areas hundreds of miles away with precision cruise missiles belies their targeting intentions. Compare and contrast with UKR use of PGMs hitting Russian ammo dumps, command posts and transportation links. Civilians are not the UKR’s targets. Whereas they are specifically the Russians’ targets. Bucha writ large for the world to see.
When ATACMSs start obliterating Moscow’s C&C centers maybe then there will be a change in Russia’s strategic thinking and targeting priorities. Until then the Street-Thug-at Large will continue to attack the weak and helpless.
Glad to know you sympathized with Hirohito and Hitler, as well as Putin.
You’re an anti American disgrace.
I believe it’s a mixture. BTW, I see Seversk is now essentially in the hands of the RF. Bakhmut is next. The Biden Neocons claim that they are “weakening” Russia by drawing this awful war out. What they are actually doing is prolonging the slaughter of the UFA and destroying the EU’s economies and the social bonds of the countries in Europe. The Biden administration is pure evil, at home and abroad.
“You are defending a Ukrainian dictatorship installed by the USA/NWO/DS in 2014.”
WRONG!
Corrected for you: “You are defending the Ukrainian nation 2014.
“In 2014 Ukraine faced the greatest threat to its national security since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Months of popular protest swept pro-Russian Pres. Viktor Yanukovych from office in February, he was replaced by a pro-Western interim government.
As the interim government attempted to deal with a reeling economy, heavily armed pro-Russian separatists seized government buildings in Crimea with the support of Russian troops, declared independence from the central government in Kiev.
Then Russia “annexed” Crimea in March 2014, broadly criticized as a gross violation of international law, and separatist activities tried spreading into eastern Ukraine.

War is really bad.
It should be avoided whenever possible.
Pointing out that it’s bad is kinda like posting “water is wet”. Good reminder, though.
Guess you fantasize about me posting about lockdowns the same way you dream of Putin and gay statues.
In all cases you live in a fantasy world.
And btw you America hating creep, vaccine lockdowns have absolutely zero to do with the war in Ukraine.
You’re just messed up.
They begged for it.
+1
Only if you are an insensitive jerk is
People blown up in an office in their own country, synonymous with water is wet.
Nihilism is not a good thing.
But maybe someday you’ll be murdered, God forbid, and people will walk by and say “water is wet”.
Oh yeah I forgot that you Putin gay boys think everyone forced him to invade Ukraine.
He’s Biden’s plaything.
You people are messed in the head.
Don’t worry Chicago will take care of it’s own destruction.
I’m a bit at odds with these situations... Combatants on the defensive hiding among civilians, I won’t go as far as saying using them as human shields, but if your staging in a civilian area, and you get whacked, and a few civilians are collateral, well I gotta say half of that is on you...
