cluster munitions campaign targeting civilians update...

Russian missile attack on Kharkiv on Good Friday kills 1, injures 87

by Sonya Bandouil April 18, 2025 7:12 AM (Updated: April 18, 2025 12:37 PM)

A Russian missile strike on Kharkiv on the morning of April 18 killed one person and injured at least 87 others, including six children, authorities reported.

“According to preliminary information, the strikes on Kharkiv were carried out with ballistic missiles equipped with cluster munitions. That is why the affected areas are so extensive," Mayor Ihor Terekhov wrote.

The attack damaged at least 20 apartment buildings, 30 houses, and an educational institution. A fire broke out on the premises of an enterprise, covering an area of 450 square meters.

PARIS — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Friday that the Trump administration is ready to walk away from Ukraine ceasefire talks in the coming days if it becomes clear that a deal is impossible.

"We are now reaching a point where we need to decide and determine whether this is even possible or not," Rubio told reporters at the airport before leaving Paris, where he had traveled to coordinate with allies.

"I'm talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable over the next few weeks," he added. "If it is, we're in. If it's not, then we have other priorities to focus on."


Longest. 24 hours. Ever.

There’s no question Trump overloaded the wagon, but realistically he had no shot at it.

What is disturbing though is his pro Russian statements, and the way Putin made him look bad.

Rubio-“If our efforts to end the war in Ukraine fail within the next few days, we will inform President Trump that negotiations are no longer a viable option.”

Well, everyone in the Free World has already come to that conclusion Mario. Any negotiation or cease fire only applies to the Ukrainians. And you and your spineless boss won't do a thing about it.

Time for the Ukrainians to cut loose the US. Putin is making all the decisions for the White House now anyway, so why keep up the facade? They've had 30 days to stockpile long distance hardware now, and more than enough weaponry and support to handle the Russians in their current state, so it's time to use it.

Believe me, Shine Boy will do absolutely nothing. Force him to show how compromised he is by stopping US support and running away. Adding another percentage of the US voting demographic that realizes who their real President is.

This is what Ukraine will miss out on by changing the locks on Team Shine Boy -

quote:

Let’s recap the US peace efforts:

1. Parroted and supported Kremlin lines/demands.

2. Ceased military aid to Ukraine and cut off Intelligence feed.

3. Bullied & sought Zelensky’s removal

4. Tried to remove Russian sanctions.

5. Used extortion to [try to] secure a Minerals deal.

Gees, you'd almost think Putin was running the US negotiating effort. Oh... wait.

The US had all the leverage needed to force Russia to the table, and it gave it all away before negotiations even began.

Just following orders...

The situation is heating up for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Liman direction: the Russian Armed Forces are attacking with units of 10-12 fighters, having an advantage of 1:12, and with the current forces of the Ukrainian army "it is impossible to contain such an invasion." This was reported by battalion commander Yudzh from the 66th brigade.

According to him, the Russian army is using the weather and vegetation for camouflage, trying to gain a foothold on the right bank of the Black Stallion and threatening Liman and Borovaya. Ukrainian troops are trying to contain the offensive with kamikaze drones and artillery.

JUST IN! Bloomberg: U.S. Proposes Recognizing Russian Control Over Liberated Territories and Ukraine’s NATO Withdrawal in Exchange for Ceasefire

According to European officials cited by Bloomberg, the United States has presented a proposal in Paris aimed at ending the conflict, which includes recognition of Russia’s control over the territories it currently holds in Ukraine.

The proposal also calls for Ukraine to abandon its efforts to join NATO — a key demand voiced by Moscow since the beginning of the conflict.

In return, Washington is reportedly willing to consider a gradual easing of sanctions against Russia, provided a ceasefire is reached.

American representatives in Paris stated they aim to achieve a complete cessation of hostilities in Ukraine within the coming weeks.

Some Cold Hard Facts when it comes KIA. None of the BS estimates from ISW or other propaganda rags. Just the dead bodies being exchanged.

This solves the mystery as why there are no graves in Russia, they are all buried in Ukraine.

Seriously, you told us Russia has a 12:1 manpower advantage, a 10:1 artillery advantage, and Ukrainians are being killed at an over a 20:1 ratio.

How is Russia being stalemated? Who is stopping them? What are they using?

This is what happens when your army consists of 40 year olds you kidnap on the street. They have no experience and are getting killed like dogs.
