Russia launched a mass missile and drone attack on Kyiv overnight on June 23, killing at least nine people and injuring 33 others, including four children, local officials reported.

Kyiv Independent journalists heard explosions and kamikaze drones flying overhead from around 1 a.m. Louder explosions from ballistic missiles were heard an hour later, with the attack lasting around 3.5 hours in total.

The heaviest damage occurred in the Shevchenkivskyi district of the city, when a five-story building partially collapsed after being hit by a ballistic missile, Ukraine’s military reported. At least nine people died as a result, and more may be trapped under the rubble.

An 11-year-old girl was confirmed as the ninth victim of the strike, Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, said. Her mother’s body was recovered earlier from the rubble.

    If Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu could just stop being psychotic dictators driving us all towards destruction for two seconds, that would be great.

    Don’t forget a few weeks ago we allegedly agreed (at least publicly) to back away from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and let them fight it out in exchange for Putin saying he would be keeping Iran in line.

    Since then:

    1. Netenyahu narrowly avoided being voted out of power and immediately began bombing Iran within 24 hours.

    2. Trump decided he wanted to get in on kicking the hornets nest for some fucking reason, and now we’re under high alert for a counter attack (surprise), and U.S. counter terrorism is literally under the watch of a 22 year old grocer. It’s almost like they want us to be attacked, but they’re too dumb (or just don’t even care about trying) to make it look like a convincing spontaneous attack against the U.S.

    3. Putin has continued to bombard the shit out of civilians in Ukraine.

    Fuck these evil fucking fucks.
