Arabiya News ^ | 4/28/22 | Tuqa Khalid

Posted on 04/28/2022 1:12:23 PM PDT by JonPreston

Russia hit Kiev with missile strikes during the visit of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Ukraine's officials said on Thursday, adding that the strikes hit residential areas, leading to a fire and causing three casualties.

“Missile strikes in the downtown of Kiev during the official visit of @antonioguterres. The day before he was sitting at a long table in the Kremlin, and today explosions are above his head. Postcard from Moscow? Recall why Russia still takes a seat on the UN Security Council?” the Presidency’s office tweeted.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said: “Russia… [struck] Kiev with cruise missiles right when UN Secretary General @antonioguterres and Bulgarian PM @KirilPetkov visit our capital. By this heinous act of barbarism Russia demonstrates once again its attitude towards Ukraine, Europe and the world.”

This is not good, it could sway public opinion to Putin's side. /s

“Russia hit Kiev with missile strikes during the visit of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres”

Nothing says you want peace more than trying to assassinate the UNSG.

LBJ did something like this in June 1966 when Kosygin was on a state visit to Hanoi, A very big attack on the pol storage complex was approved. The blasts shook buildings in downtown Hanoi and the Soviets stayed in their shelter bunker for several hours.

Then in ‘67 LBJ welcomed Kosygin to New
Jersey.

Did you expect the Ukrainian officials to keep it a secret as a favor for Pidor Putin?

Weird how the russkies only seem to bomb retirement homes, residential neighborhoods, shopping malls, etc...according to the Ukes, the russkies never seem to aim at or hit any military targets, do they?

If the UN ceased to exist tomorrow, peace would be much closer.

Russkies deliberately target residential zones. It’s not a conspiracy, but a well known fact. They fired missiles into apartments in Odessa just a week ago in retaliation for Ukraine bombing military depots. There were no Ukrainian military targets anywhere the cruise missiles hit. Killed an entire family except the husband.

I think the Brits did something similar, attacking Berlin in the middle of the nazi partys 10th anniversary celebrations. 1943 as I recall.

Russia is going after the decision makers who have allowed numerous attacks on Russian soil.
