Ukraine Strike Hits Party of Russian Elites at Donbas Palace Hotel: Reports
Newsweek ^ | Jan. 1, 2024 | Jon Jackson

Posted on 01/01/2024 5:28:31 PM PST by canuck_conservative

Denis Pushilin, the head of the Donetsk region, wrote on Telegram that the city of Donetsk was subjected to heavy strikes on New Year's Eve, while a statement from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the assault on the city a "terrorist act" and alleged Kyiv's forces had targeted civilian infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsaplienko reported in a Telegram post that members of the Russian "elite" based in occupied Donetsk were attending a New Year's dinner with guests from Moscow at the time of the attack...

Pro-Ukrainian X user (((Tendar))) wrote that "accurate readings on what the casualties are" for the hotel attack are not currently available, "but pro-Russian regime channels have been quite upset."...

"Earlier tonight, the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] struck a hotel in occupied #Donetsk where a party was being attended by Russian officers, journalists, other VIPs and some professional escorts," OSINT (Uri)'s X post said. "Local in occupied #Donetsk: 'A military commander was killed in Donetsk, and there are wounded journalists. The information is being clarified. The year started terribly...' It is reported that a 'high profile journalist (propagandist)' also died in the strike."...

“Location probably given to Ukraine by some locals ...”


I’m sure there are some who want AZOV to come back and resume what they were doing to the people of Donbass and Mariupol etc. before 2022.

But if AZOV et al. had popular support, the secession of Donetsk and Luhansk would have never happened.

Donetsk residents have been subject to Kiev Regime shelling since 2014.

“Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsaplienko reported in a Telegram post”

Such is the state of “reporting” from Ukraine.

Russia’s own Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the attack, and even sounded quite upset

Are you saying it didn’t happen?

You are serious?
Russian troops under the front of unmarked little green men made the annex possible.
But you know that

Yes, they are Russian murderers, rapists, war criminals, torturers. I say this as someone whose Russian grandmother left Russia when the Commies took over and never looked back.

The sickest about psychopaths like you is that you don't even care how many more Ukrainians are going to die or how much more territory Ukraine will lose when Russia responds to all this.

You are demonically-consumed with hatred toward Russia and Russians. It defines your sick existence.

Same thing since 2014.

They deny that it is happening, then declare that it is good that it is. (just like Leftists, deny and celebrate things at the same time)
