Russia's 10th mass missile strike on Ukraine kills civilians, hits critical infrastructure
Kiev Independent via Yahoo ^ | January 14th, 2023 | Daria Shulzhenko

Russia unleashed its 10th mass missile strike targeting Ukraine's critical infrastructure in the afternoon of Jan. 14.

The nationwide attack damaged critical infrastructure in several oblasts, according to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. The hits caused emergency blackouts in multiple regions.

The strike also hit a nine-story apartment building in Dnipro city, killing at least five people and injuring dozens, according to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Valentyn Reznichenko. Six children were among the wounded, the official said earlier.

Russia has repeatedly attacked Ukraine's critical infrastructure with hundreds of missiles and drones since Oct. 10, killing dozens of civilians and severely damaging the country's energy system.

Russia admitted that Ukraine's energy infrastructure is among its primary targets. According to the Geneva Conventions, targeting vital public infrastructure constitutes a war crime. (this is a lie)

Well that’s been the trend....I expect it will continue until Zelensky can read the handwriting on the wall.

“targeting vital public infrastructure constitutes a war crime”

Every nation in WW2 is guilty then, right?

Ukrainian girl who survived the Russian missile attack on her home in Dnipro waits for her rescuers several floors up.

The Russians are not going to topple the government in Kyiv. However, they can kill civilians and make them suffer until Zelensky makes concessions. Putin is probably willing to make Ukraine pay the price for the next ten years. Zelensky is going to have to think the long game. Maybe he’s preparing for an offensive in the Spring and take Crimea from the Russians to end the war.

There’s a good picture of a Ukrainian girl who survived the misdirected Ukrainian AD missile that fell on her home in Dnipro waiting for her rescuers several floors up on this thread.

Still true. The Russians are pouring in conscripts and Wagner convict troops and they are gaining only inches in the Donbass.

A nine-story apartment building is critical electrical infrastructure?

And THAT’s exactly what the pro-Kremlin crowd around here is supporting.

Apparently you’re dumb enough to believe Russia is targeting apartment buildings with very expensive munitions...even though there is no military value in doing so.

Russia is just trying to win the hearts and minds of the Ukrainian people, and that of the rest of the western world and even members of FR. After all, it’s Russia that is the victim here.

Its inevitable, and what happens when you use crappy russian missiles and cheap, inaccurate Iranian Shahed drones.

There’s a reason the Virgin asked us to pray for Russia.
