Zelenskiy Accuses Russia Of 'Terrorism' As Deadly Strikes In Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya Continue

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that Russia's latest attack on civilian targets in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya that killed 14 people and left scores wounded, including children, was an act of "terrorism at state level," which proved that it is impossible to negotiate with Russia.

"The constant terrorism against the civilian population is Russia's obvious rejection of real negotiations," Zelenskiy said in a video message late on October 9. "Terrorism at the state level is one of the worst international crimes."

Ukrainian officials in Zaporizhzhya said that nine rockets fired by Russian forces overnight on October 8-9 killed 14 people in two apartment buildings and dozens of private homes and wounded 70, including 11 children. Russian Missiles Bring Death And Destruction To Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya

Fresh Russian shelling of Zaporizhzhya destroyed an apartment building the following night, causing injuries, regional Governor Oleksandr Starukh said early on October 10.

The nearby Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant is located southwest of the city in territory Moscow seized early in the war.

"It was a deliberate blow. The one who gave the order and those who carried it out knew where to hit," Zelenskiy said in his video message.

Zelenskiy's statement came shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin himself blamed Ukrainian intelligence for the recent attack on the 18-kilometer bridge linking Moscow-annexed Crimea with mainland Russia, calling it an "act of terrorism." Live Briefing: Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine

Putin and the head of Russia’s Investigative Committee have blamed, without evidence, the attack on the $3.6-billion bridge over the Kerch Strait on Ukrainian special forces.

Russian forces also shelled the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolayiv overnight, launching 10 S-300 missiles, said the head of Mykolayiv's regional military administration, Vitaly Kim. .

The world is getting galvanized behind Ukraine. The one-time-zone country has been pushing back the evil eleven-time-zone country and the world likes a tough little fighter getting the best of a big bully. Meanwhile in Russia a lot more people are leaving than just the prima ballerinas.

You know Hamas and Hezbollah place military hardware in playgrounds. The Ukrainians seemed to have studied their tactics. Noting that it helps win PR wars on western television screens. I haven’t scene Ukraine’s version of Hezbollah’s Green Helmet Guy yet though. But I’m sure he is primed

Who exactly is this ‘world’ you speak of. Most Africans and Asians couldn’t care less. They see that wars between whitey seems to get the emotions going, but black on black or brown on brown invokes a shrug or two.

I have African relatives. They say what I told you. If Ukraine and Russia were peopled by dark skinned people, it would hardly make the news

You mean like the one American brigade that simply drove all the way to Baghdad. Putin must have decided he could drive all the way to Kiev with limited forces but more than the Americans had taking Baghdad. The Americans did it even though outnumbered. The Russians got torn to pieces even with local firepower superiority.

Ukrainians are not islamofascists. They value the lived of their children.

Try again.

It appears that ballerinas in both Russia and Ukraine are against Russia’s invasion. Thank you for supporting that point.

There is video of the site. No ukrainian equipment.

Russia indiscriminately attacks civilians in this war time and again.

But after all Russia is going to Russia.

“S-300 is an anti-aircraft weapon...”


This is true.

And more than a bit questionable against certain aircraft and well trained pilots.

Israeli F-16’s have had a number of S-300’s missiles launched at them, from both Syrian and Russian controlled systems, and have been able to fly their missions and get home.

Maybe not so odd, as there were so many missiles fired at the planes, the one confirmed exception was in February 2018, when as many as 50 missiles (including the S-300) were launched from various Syrian based systems, and an Israeli F-16 was actually hit by an S-200.

The crew were able to get back to Israel, and eject in Israeli airspace.

A number of Russian and Syrian manned S-300 missiles have been fired at Israeli planes since 2018, without any more take downs.

***Ukraine bombs a legitiamate military target.

Russia response: Bomb a playground.. ***

Guess you missed all the petal mines the Ukrainians have littered parks, playgrounds, and streets with in the territories. Have you seen what picking up a brightly colored “butterfly” does?

> civilian Crimea bridge

Bridges are legitimate military targets. It’s difficult to consider apartment buildings direct equivalents for the sake of retaliation. What’s the military purpose?

Yes will it be Ukrainian? Or will it be American? As far as Americans know, our guys aren’t there.
