Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned a Russian missile strike that he said killed two people, including a child, in a Zaporizhzhia apartment building on Sunday.
“Tonight, the Russian army shelled Zaporizhzhia with S-300 missiles. They hit a house, an apartment building. Three people were inside. A man, a woman and a child — a girl, her name was Iryna, she would have turned 11 this year. She died. The man died too,” Zelensky said in an address to Ukrainians, adding that the woman is in critical condition.
“This is how the terrorist state spends this Palm Sunday. This is how Russia puts itself in even greater isolation from the world, from humanity. Every bright Christian holiday teaches us that we may not know how, but we must be sure that evil will lose,” Zelensky said.

Not sure what he’s complaining about. Apartments buildings get hit pretty regularly in this war killing both Ukrainian and Russian civilians.
Bet Z didn’t even go to church. Does he ever dress up?
Stop fighting NATO’s proxy war and the missile attacks will end. Problem solved.
It is just not fair for the Rooskies to use missiles, only the US led Ukes can do that.
What nonsense! This war started with Russia attacking, not Ukraine. The Russians go home and this war ends. Problem solved.
He’s such a bore.
So what Russian apartment buildings have been hit by the Ukrainians?
No. The war started in 2014 when the US sponsored a coup against the elected government and installed the Nazis that are currently in power.
Could that apartment building possibly been the site of some sort of weaponry??
“S-300 missiles”
Why are the Russians using anti-aircraft missiles on buildings?
This sounds like the incident where an anti-aircraft missile was shot by Ukraine and unfortunately killed several Polish people.
If the missile was correctly identified (in both incidences) you can bet it was a stray missile.
I don’t think either side is targeting random apartment buildings on purpose.
Don’t tell people facts, they’ll get upset.
The war started with eight years of artillery shelling of ethnic Russian civilians in the Donbas by the murderers headquartered in Kiev. Those Donbas civilians voted for autonomy from Kiev and were murdered for their choice.
Russia LIBERATED eastern Ukraine from the killers. People in Donbas want it to STAY THAT WAY with Russia defending their alignment with Russia.
This is exactly why the American Revolution was fought - to allow those governed to CHOOSE THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT.
What blatant Russian propaganda. While there was US support, the uprising in 2014 was a popular movement against a corrupt Yanukovych who bowed to Russian pressure and reneged on a EU-Ukrainian deal and sought to link Ukraine with Russia. The Russians, and their sycophants, are exaggerating the US influence. Additionally, Yanukovych was removed by the democratically elected parliament. At worst, this was a internal constitutional problem among the Ukrainians, and was not threat to the Russians. Finally, Poroshenko and Zelensky were installed by popular elections, not by a coup. Russia does not get to dictate internal Ukrainian politics. The war started when Russia invaded to grab land that they had always coveted. The excuses that they offer are just that, excuses.
Just repeating this Russian propaganda does not make it true. There was no eight years of shelling of the civilian population. Even the statistics that the so-called Donbas republics do not support this claim. This has been shown to be lie many times. Why are you repeating it?
Russia has been using s-300s for ground attack at least nine months now. They were using them heavily for ground targets months ago, less so now. They had a huge amount of s-300s in storage - less so cruise missiles - so it made sense.
S-300 has a very large warhead for a SAM and a guidance system that can be adapted for ground targets, which is why they decided to use it for ground attacks. Original variant was 220 lbs, modern ones are 315 lbs.
“I am so sick of Russia and Zelensky”
Absent Russia starting a war in 2014 Zelensky would still be a relatively obscure C-level celeb from Ukraine.
Will Z have to delay his LGBI pride parade now?
blame the russians or trump?

Locations of CIA recruitment efforts focused on human agents which have access to closed-door conversations of world leaders
Russia’s Wagner Group tried to obtain weapons from a NATO member: Turkey. Also, some of the internal future plans of Wagner are apparently known to US intelligence
Details of sensitive satellite technology used to track Russian forces, namely the “LAPIS time-series video” - described as an advanced satellite system, which up until now has been a closely guarded secret
Ukraine battlefield assessments prepared by the Pentagon
The Guardian: “One slide suggested that a small contingent of less than a hundred special operations personnel from NATO members France, America, Britain, and Latvia were already active in Ukraine.”
Descriptions of intelligence collection activities by the CIA, NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, law enforcement agencies and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)
One Feb. 23 review of the battlefield situation in Ukraine’s Donbas forecasts a “grinding campaign of attrition” by Russia that “is likely heading toward a stalemate, thwarting Moscow’s goal to capture the entire region in 2023.”
WaPo: “The U.S. intelligence community has penetrated the Russian military and its commanders so deeply that it can warn Ukraine in advance of attacks and reliably assess the strengths and weaknesses of Russian forces.”
WaPo: “A single page in the leaked trove reveals that the U.S. intelligence community knew the Russian Ministry of Defense had transmitted plans to strike Ukrainian troop positions in two locations on a certain date in February and that Russian military planners were preparing strikes on a dozen energy facilities and an equal number of bridges in Ukraine.”
WaPo: A summary of analysis from the CIA’s World Intelligence Review, a daily publication for senior policymakers, says that Beijing is likely to view attacks by Ukraine deep inside Russian territory as “an opportunity to cast NATO as the aggressor,” and that China could increase its support to Russia if it felt the attacks were “significant.”
Ukraine’s robust Soviet-era air defenses — which have thus far minimized the participation of Russian aircraft - could run out of ammunition in next several weeks.
A purported CIA intelligence update — claims Israel’s Mossad supported protests against Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Supreme Court reform scheme.
One report says internal discussions show that South Korean officials are wary of requests to hand over artillery shells to the United States to replenish American stockpiles, out of concern they’d end up in Ukraine.
Another report says that Ukrainian Air Defense is in peril if it’s not reinforced by Western allies
