Summary

A Russian missile strike hit a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, where U.S., U.K., and Ukrainian humanitarian volunteers were staying. They survived, but four others were killed, and over 30 were injured.

Zelensky condemned the attack and urged continued pressure on Russia. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for peace talks, pausing U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing after a dispute with Zelensky.

Critics fear Russia now has leverage in negotiations, as Europe struggles to fill the gap left by reduced American support.

        he will also just ‘fake it’, as he does many other things, so long as he can advance his putin’s agenda.

      Yes, and I’m very scared how many people mistake his attempts at appeasement as “peace”. What can be done? People are actually buying that Zelensky doesn’t “want peace”.

        One is a leader defending their country against an invasion. The other is a leader threatening several other countries with tariffs and the slight threat of invasion. It’s clear who wants peace, those people are just in a cult whose capacity for logical leaps will never stop until the whole cult is history.

          You’re right. I just wish there was a way to change that narrative. I’m worried that too many people buy into it. I’m worried that too many people are buying into the whole “I just want bloodshed to stop” sayings.

        Not really a false flag but I still place some blame on Zelenskyy.

        Foreign mercenaries and instructors from NATO countries are often accommodated in hotels. In Krivoy Rog hotel facilities were being turned into deployment sites for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

        Last year, SBU actually arrested a man and said man was sentenced for 8 years because he stated that there were a lot of military personnel in the hotels of Kharkiv which was confirmed.

          Oh, sorry. Of course. It’s not a false flag.
          But it’s zelenskys fault that Russia invaded, and that russia fired missiles on a civilian targe t.
          Or, it’s a military target? Without children and civilians? And no volunteer aid organisations staying there? Just purely military.
          No, I presume there were military personnel sheltering there as well, amongst the children and foreign citizens.
          There weren’t military personnel there? No, there were. It was a command post!

          Fuck off.

          Russia attacked US citizens

    I’m sure this is somehow Biden’s fault. If not his fault, then it’s Zelensky’s. Or immigrants. Or DEI. Or Wokeness. Or trans athletes. Or Hillary’s. Or…

    I was on a Viber call with my cousin when this missile was flying towards my hometown, where she lives now. We were both crying as she was getting the notifications saying how many seconds are left until it hits.

      It’s accurate, it’s just not informative enough.

      Trump is pushing for peace, as in: Do everything Putin wants and you can have peace! Simple!

        Including, apparently, overthrowing Zelenskyy and installing a puppet.

        EU needs to just suck it up and add Ukraine however necessary. Russia can’t fight them all.

    I hope some of those US citizens includes the people Trump sent to Ukraine to chat with Zelensky’s opposition.
