It was a ballistic double tap by Russia in Kyiv.

The strike in the same place.

It's believed the war criminals fired 6 Iskander-M ballistics at the capital city of Ukraine.

There are injuries reported in the Darnytskyi district.
May Russians have the winter they wished The UK and Ukraine to have. #RussiaUkraineWar #Karma
For a change, I'm loving TV in Russia tonight.

OK, it's not "Swan Lake" time yet, but in Bryansk region they are interrupting programming to warn "Missile Danger - if possible go down to the basement or take shelter in a room without windows."

In Sumy there are multiple injuries after a drone smashed into a road.

No air raid warning, and the footage is terrifying.

Ukraine's 1st Dep Foreign Min shows another reason why Russia postponed the meeting in Budapest.

Serhiy Kyslytsya explains it would be a touch awkward for Russians to appear in Budapest on the anniversary of the massacre there to suppress democracy!
It's Day 1336 of Russia's full invasion, but that only started because the world didn't provide a deterrent almost 12 years ago when Putin first tested the west's response by invading Crimea

The west failed the test. Are we about to fail the biggest exam too?

The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism.

This is a sentence I never thought I’d write when I got a degree in professional writing for journalism.
Not your decision to make, fat man.
I like the saying "Swung on, and missed." Classic baseball saying, makes me chuckle for some reason. #BlueJays #MLB
Donald Trump is using his DOJ to target anyone he thinks has wronged him or stands in the way of his agenda. It doesn’t matter if there’s a real case—if you’re a threat, you’re a target.

Today it’s Tish James. Tomorrow? Who knows.

Fascism in real time.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.
Last night, russia attacked Ukraine with over 50+ missiles and ~500 drones.
Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Odesa, and Kirovohrad oblasts came under attack. At least 5 people have been killed and 10 more injured.

Russia is masking its failed summer offensive with terror attacks on Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.

We keep supporting Ukraine as long as needed: finalizing the next sanctions package, ensuring financing, providing weapons.

Russia will not stop until forced to.
Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

"Christianity has morphed into an identity group, untethered from much Christian teaching. It has become another tribal association jockeying for power and pursuing grievances.

The problem is when religions devolve into identitarian movements, bad things happen."

Day 1319 of this appalling and needless war in Europe.

Every single one of those days I've been here to bring you the real news and analyse, all fact checked.

It is possible to report accurately and still know Russia is the illegal aggressor and Ukraine fighting for freedom.
I don't know if there can be (exremist) religion and social democracy, if religion does not believe in reality and reality-based solutions for governing large swaths of differing peoples?
It is why religious countries have a single leader and not a Senate/Parliament. Many Religions don't share power
"...There may be no other."
&
"... you fear that the disbelievers may attack you, verily, the disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies."

Secular Government is an other, in the ways of reality and laws, having half the population as your "enemies" does not make a country.
