Russia fired more than 20 cruise missiles at targets in Ukraine on Saturday, killing at least one person in the capital Kyiv and injuring more than a dozen in what one official described as "terror on New Year's Eve."

Moscow's second major missile attack in three days badly damaged a hotel south of Kyiv's center and a residential building in another district. A Japanese journalist was among the wounded and taken to hospital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

Russia has been attacking vital infrastructure in Ukraine since October with barrages of missile and drones, causing sweeping power blackouts and other outages for millions of people as the cold weather bites.

Russia is out of missiles.

And Kyiv is surrendering because of no electricity any day now, right?

I’m still confused about how the capital of Ukraine went from Kiev to Kyiv during this whole affair.

Its goal was to persuade English-language media and organizations to exclusively use Kyiv (derived from the Ukrainian language name Київ) instead of Kiev (derived from the Russian language name Киев) as the name of the Ukrainian capital.

Explosions Shake Ukrainian Capital After Missile Warnings

Kyiv population, with all the bombings, is almost back to pre-invasion numbers.

Klitschko: Kyiv's population returns to pre-war level

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko told German magazine Spiegel on Dec. 30 that around 3.6 million people currently live in the Ukrainian capital, as many as before Russia's invasion in February. Among them are 300,000 refugees who fled to Kyiv from other regions of the country.

“The city is full,” Klitschko said. The population estimate was made primarily using data on active mobile phone users in the capital.

In March, less than one million people remained in Kyiv, according to Klitschko. By July, three months after the liberation of occupied Kyiv Oblast, including the suburbs of Irpin and Bucha near the capital, this figure had reached 2.5 million. At the same time a year ago, Klitschko had stated that up to 4.6 million people lived in Kyiv.

You needn't Qualify your posts as far as I am concerned, however, if want to bend to Uke GloboHomoNazi Trolls, be my guest.

Seems it is an analysis by Mike Whitney, published by Ron Unz, and is a source of information relevant to current events in Ukraine.

As with any predictions, we can easily wait and see.

Sorry I'm slow in responding, you've gotten some good replies.

I would say it's because Prog Socialist Democrats control the words, to control the language, to control the discussion, to control the Population.

And this is done worldwide.

And not to mention the thousands upon thousands of Russian Generals and Colonels who were killed decapitating their military leadership, or, so I was told by the ZeeBots here on FreeRepublic.

Kiev is surrendering to Zelensky so he’s sharing what the Russians give him.
