Russian strike hits busy suburban shopping centre in Kharkiv, Ukraine

Russian missiles have pounded Kharkiv, striking a busy suburban shopping centre and a central park.

Ihor Terekhov, Kharkiv’s mayor, confirmed that the missile strike on a large DIY store had killed two people. He also said that four people were missing and 24 people had been wounded.

“Judging by everything, the attack was aimed at the shopping centre, where there were many people. This is pure terrorism,” he said.

And don't forget- it's not a war, it's a special military operation.

Why hasn’t the UN or other humanitarian organizations condemned these actions of deliberate attacks against civilian populations.

[accessit]

Why are the ICJ, the ICC and the South Africam government quite about this. Are Ukraine civilians less important than Palestinias?

RuZZia is just jealous because of all the shovels in there

As a dedicated do-it-yourselfer, this cuts deep. This could be my local Lowe's or Home Depot, quite easily.

We could suggest "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" but the Ukrainians have shewn themselves to be better than that.

Without asking the Ukrainians, the presidents sold the security of Ukraine
On December 5, 1994, at the summit of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), President Leonid Kuchma signed the international treaty "On the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons" with the leaders of the USA, Russia and Great Britain. China and France voted.
At that time, Ukraine had the third largest nuclear potential among all countries in the world, and undertook to become a nuclear-free country. By 1996, it had fulfilled its obligations and destroyed 2, 000 strategic nuclear warheads inherited from the USSR.
For their part, the USA, Russia and Great Britain undertook to respect the independence, sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine, to refrain from using force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, as well as from economic pressure that could violate its sovereignt

Sympathy for the innocent victims who died because of human hatred and envy.🙏🙏🙏

Ukraine is collapsing, Zelensky should have taken that deal, staying neutral looks like a grand option in hindsight. Bojo and the rest have left Ukraine to the wolves at this point. Nato lost this battle.

[springbloom]

In fact, the official report is that it was two S300 missiles. Now, who keeps hitting civilians with S300s 🤔

[richardmarsden]

Must be awful for U.S. led Nato to realise that not only are Russia's nuclear strike capabilities more powerful, but their conventional strike abilities are more potent too. Took 26 months with Ukraine to ram the point home.

America: if the same double standards were applied.
Ukraine shouldn't use people as human sheilds. Good self-defense, Russia

[sun-pg]

Gave russia an inch and now it tries to take it all😅
