Russia's warplanes bombed Lviv and its missiles struck Kyiv and Kharkiv on Saturday, as Moscow followed through on a threat to launch more long-range attacks on Ukrainian cities after its Black Sea Fleet's flagship was sunk.

In besieged Mariupol, scene of the war's heaviest fighting and worst humanitarian catastrophe, Russian troops pressed recent advances, hoping to make up for their failure to capture Kyiv by seizing their first big prize of the war.

Moscow said its planes had struck a tank repair factory in the capital, where an explosion was heard and smoke seen in the southeastern Darnytskyi district. Kyiv's mayor said at least one person had died and medics were fighting to save others.

Ukraine requests that Russia use more force and less accuracy will be honored.

Noe one voice looking for peace or a ceasefire.

Oh hell no. Matter of fact, is it time for Pig Face Bidet to get up and stir it up some more again?

[EEGator]

I don’t even understand the endgame anymore….

[Renfrew]

“Moscow said its planes had struck a tank repair factory in the capital, “

Seven weeks into the war and they are just now targeting the place Ukraine repairs its tanks?

The Russian application of air power in this war remains a mystery to me.

Not one voice looking for peace or a ceasefire.

None are mentioned in this article.

[Navy Patriot]

Neither side explains their actions to me.

“(Not) one voice looking for peace or a ceasefire.”

Well, there were a few people looking for peace but Putin had them all arrested. More than a few have likely been executed by now.

Do you know what NSW is between industrialized nations? There are many more targets than you can hit in one day. Also some facilities you might find useful to keep for future use at one time, but won’t find them useful later.

Just maybe the invasion was a bad idea.

Brave Ukrainians are winning the war.

Really.

Once a city of 450,000, now only 120,000 people live there. At least 21,000 people have been killed in Mariupol, Mayor Vadym Boychenko said. Bodies were “carpeted through the streets.”

And now:

But shortages of weapons and supplies are threatening Mariupol's ability to resist Russian forces.

But don't worry, the righteous comedian/President is on it:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the city's fate is being discussed among the country's leaders: “The details cannot be made public now, but we are doing everything we can to save our people,” Zelenskyy said Friday.

Really your screenname is Vlad? At least you could have named yourself John.

You believe bombing and killing civilians is winning a war. Says a lot about Russia and you.

Meanwhile, Ukraine stopped the Kiev armored assault and has sunk 2 Russian navy ships, including The Moscow, one of only 3 Russian supercruiser ships.

Russia might want to consider consolidating Crimea or they may lose it.

[discostu]

Peace is easy, Russia goes home, war over.

[Steven Tyler]

Just guessing here:
Far more than 21,000 dead in the streets.
All of those “dead in the streets” were Uke soldiers dug in and in a defensive posture, with no fuel, ammo or food.

Poor guys should have surrendered

[windsorknot]

Curb your enthusiasm, Ivan.

[Vlad0]

Really your screenname is Vlad? At least you could have named yourself John.

Are you an anti-Slavic racist or something?

Vlad's about as common a name among Slavs of all nationalities as John is among British and Western European descended Americans.

You are proud to be a "minority Republican", I'm proud to be Vlad0. Nothing in it either way.

“Poor guys should have surrendered.”

Why. When you surrender you forfeit everything, and are at the tender mercies of the whims of your captors; when you surrender you have to trust your captors and place all your faith in them not to misbehave.

Good luck.

Better to fight and die than live on your knees before someone who just moments before was trying his damnedest to kill you.

I see the lowly FR Putinista cultists are out force today. Killing women and children always cheers them up.
