Russia Violates Holiday Ceasefire With Deadly Drone Strikes Across Ukraine

Source: Kyiv Post

Despite a US-brokered three-day ceasefire intended for May 9–11, Russian forces continued aerial assaults across Ukraine. On Saturday evening, May 9, a drone strike on a high-rise residential building in Kharkiv injured at least five people, including two 8-year-old boys who suffered acute stress reactions. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, drone strikes killed a 46-year-old woman and injured an 87-year-old.

A fragile three-day humanitarian ceasefire was marred by continued Russian aggression as drone strikes claimed lives and injured children in several Ukrainian regions on Saturday, May 9.

The ceasefire, brokered by the United States to facilitate a large-scale exchange of 1,000 prisoners from each side, was officially in effect when the attacks occurred.

Less than 24 hours into the cease fire. Putin only wanted his parade. Well, he got it but now I hope Ukraine rains down hell on Moscow. How many times must it be said? You cannot trust the Kremlin, ever, ever, ever. They lie about everything and have no morals or honor. They are completely void of any decency.

This administration won't say or do anything about it. Hopefully the coup rumors are true and someone takes out Putin.

Thousands of drones should be directed at military, energy and infrastructure targets within the Moscow circle. Enough of this bullshit. No more kowtowing (leave that for Witkoff) to Putin. Even though parts of it already are, turn all of Russia into a third world country.

IMO, Ukraine needs to announce that it will begin to respond reciprocally to attacks on civilian targets. Enough is fucking enough.

Enough already! Give Putin all and more of what he has been throwing at Ukraine. I'm just as angry.
