Summary

A Russian missile strike hit a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, where U.S., U.K., and Ukrainian humanitarian volunteers were staying. They survived, but four others were killed, and over 30 were injured.

Zelensky condemned the attack and urged continued pressure on Russia. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for peace talks, pausing U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing after a dispute with Zelensky.

Critics fear Russia now has leverage in negotiations, as Europe struggles to fill the gap left by reduced American support.

    Trump will say it’s Zelensky’s fault because he wouldn’t agree to his terms

      Yes, and I’m very scared how many people mistake his attempts at appeasement as “peace”. What can be done? People are actually buying that Zelensky doesn’t “want peace”.

    There used to be a time when Republicans would lose their shit when US citizens were murdered by Russia.

    Now they’ll applaud it

      russia also switched tactics in the 80s to primarly use propaganda"to destroy from within", they also saw trump in the 80s as a useful tool to further thier agenda.

      Dont forget convicted felon.
      From an outsider its extremely baffling that one president resigned from office after they found out he was fucking his secretary but this guys laundry list of actual real harm done is so long it would be like santas list from a cartoon christmas movie, and yet…
      Voted him in when everyone was fully aware of everything.

      I just cannot comprehend the USA

        It’s all about media consumption. That’s the key.

        Propaganda works, that’s why evil billionaires buy it. That’s why every democracy is under attack. It’s easy to do now.

        Media literacy - understanding how words and symbols create our world - is so far off from being as understood as, say, American football.

    I don’t even know what to say. I asked my dad what the fuck was so bad about his life? He hasn’t worked for 30 years. He’s collected every government benefit they offer. He even said, when arguing about the stock market, the market has been unprecedentedly rising for 20+ years. What the fuck are you mad about? You have everything except maybe extreme wealth and never leave the fucking house.

      No what we need is Americans to finally get a spine and topple their dictator. The world and US’ future can’t wait for year long courts that will likely result in nothing actionable anyway.

      I don’t know, if in my country the government started to fire public employees just because a billionaire is on a ketamine overdose, there will be rioting in the street and the parliament will be set on fire. Instead all I’m seeing is “leopards ate my face” news pieces where they interview some fired federal employee that voted for Trump

      Trump will blame someone else rather than his best friend Putin

      The problem is Trump doesn’t care about soldiers, Americans, or people other than himself. Maybe Congress could be pressured to act, though.

      Lol how do you think the aftermath of Pearl Harbour would have gone if someone like Trump was in power instead of FDR? He is the commander in chief. Nothing will happen.

      It could potentially stop Americans from sleepwalking into the decline of their country, perhaps. Maybe even generate the political will to get rid of Trump. But none of that is even close to happening. The easy road off this path hasn’t been available since last November. The path out of this mess now necessary leads through suffering.

        trump is obssessed with hitler, so he would probably join hitler in his war effort, also because alot of nazi elements came from USA segregationist/racist policies too.

    I was on a Viber call with my cousin when this missile was flying towards my hometown, where she lives now. We were both crying as she was getting the notifications saying how many seconds are left until it hits.

      Hospitals, schools, residential areas, journalists, aid workers… Russia has been doing this since the beginning of the war.

      Den Haag had already sent agents to Ukraine to determine if war crimes happened within the first year. The international court has a warrant for the arrest of Putin.

    I hope some of those US citizens includes the people Trump sent to Ukraine to chat with Zelensky’s opposition.
