CNN — A Russian strike against a military educational facility in central Ukraine killed 47 people and injured at least 206 others, according to Ukrainian officials, in one of the deadliest single attacks since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said preliminary information indicated two ballistic missiles hit the facility in the city of Poltava and a nearby hospital on Tuesday morning.

“We say again and again to everyone in the world who has the power to stop this terror: air defense systems and missiles are needed in Ukraine, not somewhere in a warehouse,” Zelensky said in a statement.

There never was going to be a deal. That is political bullhockey. To keep giving Ukraine Billions. Even going out the door Biden-Harris is giving ‘green, illegal, an Ukraine money while we worry if we can feed and clothe our kids. In my case my grands, as their parents are to ill educated to do so or lazy. Not from lack of a decent education. Covid, COVID did it. TRUMP did it, BS.

How can this report and any of the details be verified? Merely wondering if there was verification.

“since the start of Moscow’s FULL-SCALE INVASION in February 2022”

Dog whistle to other Leftists, translated it means “I’m with you, bro, I’m down for the greater cause”.

By the way, it was 80,000 Russian troops that entered Ukraine back then. I looked up Germany’s “full scale invasion” of Poland, roughly the size and population of Ukraine. Germany sent in 1.5 million troops. Now that is a “Full Scale Invasion” (not to mention the Soviet troops coming in at the same time from the East).

Zelensky, you have always had the power to stop this, but, instead, you wanted the money and power for a time in your despicable life.

How much money have you and your friends squirreled away?

“military educational facility” - pilot training?

The first thing he does - after any/every incident - is start begging. Yet - despite all the billions - the situation keeps getting worse.

This is how a war run by grifters, pols globaloids works.

Russia, meanwhile, just moved its border a little to the left/west, and is now using the situation to suck NATO and the US dry.

This war benefits only the globalists. Ever wonder why Pope Francis has never made a serious effort to mediate a peace between these two ostensible Christian nations? Pope John Paul II would not have rested until the killing was stopped.

Oh, is this like when gazan “medical professionals” claimed that they were not harboring hamas terrorists beneath the hospital? I call BS on “educational facility”. That could be a military training depot.

Ukraine’s credibility is below water. They have to dig themselves out with months of non-lying.

Russia claims the target was: “The 179th training center of the Army Signal Corps of Ukraine” and that the troops were mustering for deployment.

Otherwise, I heard there was a war going on there....

That’s been the plan all along. “Aggressive Attrition” Putin kills the vast majority of Ukes, not with rifles or tanks.

Putin will mass offensive units behind fortified positions, forcing Z to mass defensive forces in these little mini Stalingrads EVERYWHERE in Donbas. The Ukes deploy to the high rises. (Honest to goodness, I think Nikita had this secondary purpose in mind when he started building them. He KNEW Germany and a bunch of its NATO allies would attack Russia here AGAIN. He was right!) The Ukes deploy defensively to the high rises, coal mines, landfills, slag heaps, etc. using them as defensive citadels. The Russians FAB, drone, artillery and Iskander these sitting ducks unmercifully.

As LBJ said, “They’re like jackasses caught in a hail storm. They have to just stand there and take it”.

Better to be a Russian bot than a neo-Nazi Washington troll.

Z is sending more to the slaughterhouse! A twenty truck convoy got Iskandered on the road leading from Kursk back to the main front the other night. I assumed they were fleeing the pocket. Most likely, Z was sending them IN!!

There WAS a deal. The Istanbul Deal.

But that deal was worthless. The main party involved was not represented at the negotiations. The main entity showed up when BlackRock sent its mop headed, warmongering goon in to quash the peace.

Sounds like possible droners. Nothing terrifies a Russian grunt like a fpv drone.
