Air raid sirens in Lviv, Kyiv and other cities as Russia vows to increase airstrikes

Loud blasts were heard in Kyiv, Lviv and other cities after Ukraine claimed responsibility for an attack on a Russian warship. Russia's defence ministry said on Friday it had struck a military target on the edge of Kyiv overnight with cruise missiles and promised more strikes against the Ukrainian capital in response to Ukrainian attacks on Russian targets.

In retaliation to what? The Kremlin said a fire sunk the ship, not Ukrainians.

So which is it? Ukrain sunk the ship and you are retaliating, or was it a fire?

[lovecanada]

They poke the bear now. God bless Ukraine.

He is using innocent people as human shield.

For honest independent news I recommend Patrick Lancaster, also Scott Ritter and Richard Medhurst do great truthful analyses!

"If you attack us while we invade your country, we will get really upset!" 🙄

This is a Canadian news channel fully funded by no other than the Government of Canada. This channel can't make it without Government funding. I hope everyone knows exactly what I'm saying.

I thought Ukraine was winning the war. That is what the news told us a while back. You mean, that isn't true?

[joannafreedom]

if the flag wasn't there I'd think it was Balitmore.

It wasn't a Ukranian missile... It is a Special Ship Fire Operation

Sometimes there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. To each their own

[TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

Wow. CBC's got reporters on the ground and even pronouncing Kiev correctly. I'm impressed.

"It wasn't a Ukrainian missile that sunk our flagship.. It just caught on fire. And now we will move all our vessels further away from the coast and increase the bombing because our random accidental fire. "

Sounds like an American Republican

[Jessica-lhiu]

That’s what they deserve. They are not sincere to stop the war, nor they seek to have peace. The leader cannot commit to what he said.

[PopularesVox]

Kremlin "Well they sunk our war ship, so I guess we have no choice but to attack their missile plant in Kyiv. Russian commander "Yes, Tsar Putin I'll immediately stop shelling civilian areas and see to it right away"

[Mike-rfph]

They're not increasing strikes because the ship been sunk silly.. they said they'll increase strikes few days before if residential areas inside their border will continue to be attacked

[hxxro]

I pray that they never go the atomic bomb route.
