Russia Sends Missiles Into Capitol City of Kyiv |
![]() Associated Press: Russia shattered weeks of relative calm in the Ukrainian capital with long-range missiles fired toward Kyiv early Sunday, an apparent Kremlin show-of-force as Western leaders meet in Europe to strengthen their military and economic support of Ukraine. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the missiles hit at least two residential buildings, and killed one person and injured six others, including a 7-year-old girl and her mother. Associated Press journalists saw emergency workers battling flames and rescuing civilians from the buildings. The strikes also damaged a nearby kindergarten, where a crater pocked the courtyard. U.S. President Joe Biden called the attacks “barbarism” after he arrived in Germany for a Group of Seven summit (Associated Press). CNN: The Ukrainian State Emergency Service said the fire was caused by “enemy shelling” and was over an area of 300 square meters, in “a 9-storey residential building with partial destruction of the 7th, 9th and 9th floors.” The same neighborhood was hit by a missile strike in early May, and was also targeted in March (CNN). |

He is the good guy protecting that nation from itself. It couldn't be he wanted the land, wanted Nuckels back on Ukrainian soil under his control. Now he is expending his nuclear capabilities into Belarus....but remember, he is only protecting his own country! Aha!
