Ukraine's parliament canceled a session on Friday as security was tightened after Russia deployed a new ballistic missile that threatens to escalate the nearly three-year war.

Three Ukrainian lawmakers confirmed that the parliamentary session previously scheduled was canceled due to the ongoing threat of Russian missile attacks targeting government buildings in the city center.

Not only is the parliament closed, “there was also recommendation to limit the work of all commercial offices and NGOs that remain in that perimeter, and local residents were warned of the increased threat,” said lawmaker Mykyta Poturaiev, who added this is not the first time such a threat has been received.

Who escalated what? I laugh at this story and have zero respect for Ukraine’s parliament. They are all weak puppets that US taxpayers are being ripped off to fund.

The funny part is that it was the Biden admin that escalated the war. ABC seems to have ignored that fact.

Russia escalated the war? No, that was a tit for tat situation. The Ruskies firing this missile likely would not have happened if the Ukes had not fired the US and British missiles to inside Russia.

Will the Biden and Starmer regimes try to out due the Ruskies by trying something even bolder (stupider) yet? The Zeepers here probably are hoping they do. Sane people are not.

The Biden/Harris regime will go down as the worst in US history. Trump will start fixing this and people will feel so good about it they will elect another democrat president in 4 - 8 years. Count on it.

Within about 200 miles of the frontlines military targets should be separated a safe distance from civilian facilities.

That may not be possible in the case of bridges.

Generators might be used to power Ukrainian armament factories so the Ukrainian power plants & grid are only used for civilian purposes.

“the Ukes had not fired the US and British missiles to inside Russia”

The Russians have long used Iranian drones to attack targets in Ukraine.

As long as the US and British missiles are used for Ukrainian defensive purposes, then Russians shouldn’t feel justified to complain.

The US and British missiles should not make Putin look incapable of protecting Russian civilians. They should not be used in the Kursk region of Russia while Ukrainian troops are on Russian soil.

They are the elected government that was in place when martial law suspended elections.
