At least 11 people were killed in an overnight Russian missile strike on the central Ukrainian town of Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, regional officials announced Tuesday.

Four people were killed in an apartment building in the town and another seven in a warehouse, according to the region’s governor. The town’s mayor, Oleksandr Vilkul, said that 28 people were injured in the strike.

“Russian killers continue their war against residential buildings, ordinary cities and people,” Zelensky said on Telegram on Tuesday.

The strikes come as Ukraine begins a long-awaited counteroffensive in the south and east of the country. The Ukrainian military has claimed minor victories in the offensive so far, including capturing over a half-dozen villages.

While this is yet another Russian war crime targeting civilians, calling Kryvie Rih a “town” is a little weird. It’s a city of a million people.

Well yes, dumbass, this is what happens in war when you continue to listen to Joe Biden’s MIC handlers and refuse to negotiate for peace.

If this is the case, every US President including Trump is guilty of war crimes.

The Western dupes who are slurping up this propaganda don't know that.

The mental picture they have is the Evil Russians targeting Vlod's Aunt Bee in Mayberry in their frustration over the elusive zElensky.

—”So send a few drones and attack some points in putins home town”

Ten minutes from one of Putin’s houses.

It appears this was a warning as the drones didn’t carry explosives.
A nice way of pointing out where Russia should deploy its best anti-drone units.

The photos do not show blast damage and the one picture of a crashed drone looked free of any blast damage.
Maybe next time.

“Rublyovka, a patchwork of elite gated communities in the forests west of Moscow that once boasted some of the world’s highest real estate prices, is home to much of Russia’s political, business and cultural elite.”

The drone strikes last week in Moscow brought the war in Ukraine to the streets of the capital, embarrassing Putin’s government. Pro-war Russian bloggers sharply criticized government officials, and the chief of the Russian paramilitary Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, accused Russia’s military leaders of failing to defend the country against the unmanned aircraft.

“Why the f*** are you allowing these drones to hit Moscow?” he said. “The fact that they are flying to Rublyovka to your home, to hell with that! Let your houses burn.”

“The fact that they are flying to Rublyovka, to your home, to hell with it! Let your houses burn,” he said, referring to an upscale area of Moscow popular with Russian oligarchs. “And what do ordinary people do when drones with explosives crash into their windows?”

My one and only sent me a message about this. Six separate missiles aimed at residential areas and in the middle of the night. Typical Russian terror tactics.

This is a Western website. If you want to rail against the west maybe look for something in Cyrillic?
