They must stop perching arms close to residential buildings

To be fair who else are they going to blame?

This showed Russian can strike Odessa even when the Russians military is not stationed in Snake Island

Let me know the number of women and children. Otherwise, this may have been a staging barracks.

It's a shame about Odesa. It used to be a nice place and it's one of the more easy Ukrainian words to say.

Judging by the damage to the apartment block it was probably hit by Ukrainian malfunctioning or intercepted anti-aircraft missile from S-300 system. These systems shouldn't be placed near high-rise buildings, but Ukrainian forces often use civilians as a human shield to protect these systems (Buk and S-300). Sometimes S-300 missiles are intercepted by Buk missiles due to lack of coordination between units. Similar cases already happened in Odessa and Kiev, but Zelenskyy regime keeps doing it.

May Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Andrey Sheptytsky, Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky and all Ukrainian saints, First Testament Prophets (Elijah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Amos etc), Jewish holy men and women, St Michael, Raphael and Gabriel and all the angels, intercede with the Almighty for the removal of Putin, Lavrov and his minions from power. May Ukraine be freed from Russian oppression.

I know how much help Ukraine needs to keep defending Russia, but there is only so much help one can give before it`s time to start thinking about having to stop due to low supplies, i`m just thinking logically. Slava Ukraine all the same.
