Russia launched its largest air attack of the war on Ukraine overnight, setting the main government building on fire in central Kyiv and killing at least four people, including an infant, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the drone and missile barrage killed four people and caused damage across the north, south and east of the country, including the cities of Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih and Odesa, as well as in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions.
"Such killings now, when real diplomacy could have already begun long ago, are a deliberate crime and a prolongation of the war," Zelenskiy said in a post on X, issuing a fresh appeal

So, this makes two consecutive large-scale attacks on Ukraine that remain unanswered. Most assuredly, Putie awaits a response from the Ukrainians before deciding how to further amp up his blitzkrieg. Wonder what it will be. The Ukrainians know - don't underestimate them. Putie, best you have your security team start checking under the toilet seat before your daily sit-down, pal. Meanwhile, do the Europeans have the slightest clue.

There are two leaders in this Russian -Ukraine fiasco that have no wish for peace.
If the occupants of these countries get tired of losing their people to war they had better step in .

It has been going on for 11 years and THIS is "The largest strike" ever? Killing only 4 people? Showing that Russia has exercised real restraint, they could have been doing this, or much worse, every single day since day ONE. Zelensky's term expired in March of 2024... he didn't step down, refused to hold an election, outlawed any opposition parties... Trump met with Putin, then met ...yet again...with Zelensky, in response, Zelensky launched the "Largest ever attacks into Russia", instead of accepting a cease fire offer, or taking any "next step" towards ending the war.

My "give a damn" meter on this whole fiasco isn't budging a hair anymore!!!
As long as there are two massively egotistical "leaders" involved who don't care how many innocent people have to die to stroke their egos, the ONLY thing that is going to end this war quickly are a few nukes!!!

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain negotiated "peace in our time" with Adolph Hitler, to only take a piece of Czechoslovakia, and that would be the end of it.
Or not.... and there was no peace until Hitler was dead and Germany lay in defeated ruins.
Do we want to repeat history, or stop it before it goes that far this time?

Re #6, provide Ukraine with the weapons and other materials to fight as hard as THEY ARE willing. No US troops, but max support for whatever defensive efforts they can mount. Aircraft, missiles, etc.
We either stop this there, or fight it, bigger, later.
Look at the last time a megalomaniac decided that the whole of Europe was 'ripe for picking'. Small payments now, or big payments later. Allegedly we "learned this" in 1939 to 1945.

Well Trump went out of his way to try to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine. To date that did not work, and no doubt Trump knows now where he stands with that effort. As long as Putin and Russia want their war with Ukraine to continue there will not be peace.

You done a great job destroying your country Volodymyr.
Do you have any electricity?
Do you have a single flush toilet?
Do your citizens have to boil their drinking water?
How much will it cost Ukraine to rebuild their infrastructure? Who will pay for that? Hint: NOT the USA!

Have to believe that Z has ordered the assassination of Putin.
The assassins have yet to be successful.

Don’t worry about rebuilding, Volodomir. That’s already covered by contracted rebuilders. It’s part of the deal. What was it General Smedley Butler said? War is a Racket.

While some are determined to see the Russia/Ukraine conflict as reminiscent of WW2, most recognize it more as Vietnam, with the same justifications used to escalate participation.

No...poster #1...Europe is not sharp with war...unless it's backed by America...so this latest attempt by Putin to grab more land before a cease fire will be considered is in play....it's obvious what he's doing...it's meant to demoralize Ukraine into giving up more land in a cease fire agreement....the europeans have convinced the Z man he can win back his land...

No #3, this maybe the culmination of something centuries in the making. The Russian heartlands are just too inviting to the criminally insane bankers, elites and neocons.
#6 We learned FA from WWII and what we think we learned just wasn't so. It's always propaganda and the law of unintended consequences through it all the bankers and elites keep us in a perpetual state of turmoil. We are living a bloody Shakespearian tragedy!

If you don't believe the lessons of WW2, you are living in a fantasy land....not a Shakespeare play.

VERY wrong, #12. In Vietnam the people didn't fight very much for their freedom. In Ukraine ONLY Ukrainians and some American and Brits have done the fighting. Ukraine has NOT asked for US troops.
I know one American who went to fight in Ukraine on his own account.
HUGE difference when the people in a country are doing THEIR OWN fighting, only asking for weapons.
