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.

      Trump is probably happy these particular people were killed. They were probably the same sort of journalists he’s banning from press conferences.

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

        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.

          Zelenskyy doesn’t need to stage any false flags.

      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.

    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.

    Trump helping to get Americans killed. He just doesn’t care. Must have caught that from his wife.

    Comparing our reaction to this to the sinking of the Lusitania will be interesting.

      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.
