Russia fired cruise and ballistic missiles and Shahed-type drones at targets across Ukraine on Wednesday morning, authorities reported, killing at least three civilians and injuring 10 others, including a pregnant woman.
The attacks targeted at least three major cities, including the capital Kyiv, where the European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, was discussing military aid and financial support for Ukraine.
That Western help is desperately needed by Ukraine, which is struggling with ammunition and personnel shortages. Some long-term foreign funding is also in doubt as the war nears its two-year anniversary on Feb. 24.

While generally I like Newsmax, they are in the tank in their unquestioning and undying support for keeping the laundramat topped off. I woder if it is just another front org to suck in MAGA while skimming from the global largesse funding the whole scam.
“killing at least three civilians and injuring 10 others, including a pregnant woman.”

Sounds less volatile than most Democrat run cities in the US.
Yes, exactly. Try RAV instead.
Meanwhile, while Moscow is targeting civilians:
“Massive Explosion Reported Near Russian City That Is Home To Missile Production Plant”

Ships, oil refineries, and now this. Asymmetric warfare at its’ finest.
Yes, I wonder just how intense is the “fierce” and “heavy” fighting reported to be “all along the 1000 km front”, with the astounding numbers of casualties reportedly suffered by whichever side is the bad guy to the reporter. Aside from isolated campaigns like the Russian assault on Avdiivka right now, it looks more like a WWI style trench stalemate. Miserable to be sure, but not exactly Normandy or the battle of Kursk. Seems more like an artillery duel.

Luckily most were shot down. Those missiles cost Russia about half a billion dollars... The Russian taxpaying middle class are probably fed with their own deep-state constant warmongering and permanent forever wars.
40% of Russias entire national budget is now oriented towards war. Just imagine for one second... if America spent 40% of its national budget exclusively for war!! - taxpaying americains would start a revolution! :)
Yes, Ukrainians are now destroying Russia’s infrastructure with pin-point accuracy, bit by bit... every single day.... it’s getting spectacular.
Fortunately, this war gives the Western countries a chance to try their weapons in real-world conditions
And so far, those weapons are proving pretty damn good ... no wonder Russia (and its shills) are desperately trying to cut off more support for Ukraine!
However, sometime later it was revealed he was good friends with the Clintons.
What's with that? Did Ruddy pull a Drudge?
These attacks usually 3-5 days and become a campaign. Russia is pushing Ukraine hard with 2-3 weeks of weather. Ukraine is running out of soldiers in several sectors, argumenting the forward positions with cooks and drivers, then pulling their trained infantry back. Female casualties are rising too.
I remember pitching about how the battalion clerks, cooks, and support troops didn’t have to train... our battalion commander shut us all up when he said, “if we ever need the clerks and cooks, then it’s already gone too far.” Paratroopers that we were, understood all too well what he was saying.
“Those missiles cost Russia about half a billion dollars.”
Link please.

Being you’re a foreigner I’ll forgive you for being so free with our money. We could use it to take care of our own cities, but again, being a foreigner, why would you care how bad places like East Cleveland and Cairo or Camden get?
You are absolutely correct in your observation, that's why I particularly identify the Associated Presstitutes as the Author of the article.
Newsmax can't get any of their own people to put their name on such crap, which introduces your second comment about the leadership of Newsmax.
I woder if it is just another front org to suck in MAGA while skimming from the global largesse funding the whole scam.
I too generally like Newsmax, and have wondered the same.
I would say fewer casualties than ALL Democrat run cities if you include the Democrat Paid, Armed and Directed Illegal Alien Invaders, Murdering Innocent American Civilians every day.
Meanwhile, while American Prog Socialist Democrats, NeoCons and The Deep Swamp directs their Illegal Alien Invading Army to Murder Americans in American Democrat Cities Nationwide, their paid Ukrainian Nazis do the same to Ukrainians in Ukraine and Russians in Russia.
Just like in Froggy France your Legacy Citizens, Farmers with Tractors and Yellow Vests are Rebelling against your Nazi Frog Macron's Muslim Terrorist Kissing Tyranny.
But then you know that, you're posting from a Paris No-Go Zone.
I do know there will be changes at first Thaw.
As a natural born American son of natural born Americans for a few generations now, I am 100% certain sending them more money won’t solve the problems in Chicago, Cleveland, Camden, Gary or in any of the many other cities that have been in demonrat control for years and years.
There is simply no cost/benefit associated with sending them even more money.
Those problems, along with the wide open borders, are not problems the demonrats or the rinos have any real interest in solving, so why pretend otherwise? They like the chaos!
I know it and you probably know it, too.
“I know it and you probably know it, too.”
I wasn’t addressing you, but I’ll respond anyway. Yes, I know it, but better to waste the money on crooked Americans than some crooked foreigners.
