Russia Destroyed Its ‘Fine’ Reputation by Killing an Infant, a Child, and Mothers 

While political rhetoric in Washington claims that Russia "has been fine on Ukraine" and "hasn't been doing much," the reality written in blood on the ground tells a brutally different story. On the very same day those words were spoken, a Russian Shahed drone tore into a crowded central park in Nova Vodolaha, killing an infant in a stroller, a young girl, and their mothers—a tragic reminder that whitewashing an ongoing invasion isn't just false, but a profound insult to the innocent lives being erased.


In the Kharkiv Region, the Nova Vodolaha Central Park, Russian forces launched a drone strike directly into a central park crowded with families. An infant in a stroller was killed on the spot, along with two women. At least 14 other civilians were injured, including seven children who were in the park when the attack occurred.

Prior Recent Tragedy in Zaporizhzhia: This follows a devastating strike on Zaporizhzhia where guided aerial bombs tore through residential apartment buildings, killing 17 people—including three young children.

Across the country over the last 24–48 hours, Russian attacks—utilizing cruise missiles, ballistic strikes, and nearly 270 attack drones—inflicted widespread civilian casualties:

Kyiv & Kyiv Oblast: Russian strikes targeted the capital and surrounding region with ballistic missiles and suicide drones. At least two civilians were killed and 14 injured in residential quarters.

Western Regions (Rivne & Volyn): Drones struck western cities overnight. In the Rivne region, several women were wounded when residential infrastructure took direct hits.

Central & Southern Fronts: Shelling and drone strikes across Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa added dozens more to the casualty list.

Over October alone, relentless salvos across Ukraine have killed over 100 civilians and injured more than 400, with children repeatedly suffering the brunt of these strikes.

The physical destruction on the ground spans housing, energy grids, and community spaces:

Energy Grid Emergency: Russia launched 76 attacks against Ukraine's power grid in a single week. Overnight strikes cut off electricity and water supplies across parts of Vinnytsia, Volyn, and Rivne, leaving over 66,000 households without power.

Residential Destruction: In Zubra (Lviv region), drone fragments severely damaged 11 private homes. In Volyn, a drone strike ignited a massive fire that destroyed an industrial facility.

Public & Civil Sites: Strikes shattered schools, healthcare facilities, and public spaces, leaving emergency teams scrambling across multiple oblasts to clear debris and look for survivors.

This daily, terrifying reality on the ground highlights why whitewashing the conflict or claiming Russia is "not doing much" is such a painful insult to those enduring this violence.

It’s fair to wonder now what Trump regards as “Fair” behavior. Ukrainian American voters painfully have a clear image of what Trump and Putin support.

Trump Shocks the World by Falsely Claiming Russia Has been Fine on Ukraine 

President Donald Trump has again angered the global audience with lies and falsehoods about Russia’s heinous crimes against humanity and the Ukrainian nation the he was fed by its fuhrer Vladimir Putin.

Claiming that Russia has “been fine on Ukraine” while its missiles continue to hit civilian neighborhoods, and kill innocent and unarmed men, women and children is a clear form of political gaslighting, demanding that the global public reject the brutal reality they see with their own eyes.

This ludicrous statement made by Trump to reporters when asked about a potential trilateral summit with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping has sparked widespread outrage, confusion, and criticism, particularly among supporters of Ukraine and foreign policy analysts.

When asked about organizing a high-level summit with the leaders of Russia and China, Trump stated that the primary purpose of such a meeting would not be resolving the war in Ukraine, but rather discussing global nuclear disarmament. In explaining why Ukraine wasn’t the main focus, Trump remarked:

"I would do it, not so much for Ukraine, because Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much... They haven't been nearly what they could have been, and I appreciate that."

The American President went on to criticize Ukrainian leadership, suggest that Ukraine should find someone new to negotiate on its behalf, and defend recent policy decisions—including waiving certain sanctions and allowing Russian oil exports—despite ongoing Russian missile and drone strikes hitting Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.

To understand how someone in Trump’s position frames or “cheers” a painful lie like this, analysts and observers highlight a few key drivers behind his perspective:

Transaction & Relative Restraint Framing: In Trump's misguided pro-Russian belief, Moscow has not unleashed its full potential military arsenal (such as non-conventional weapons or total tactical destruction of certain networks) or has shown what he perceives as tactical "restraint" in response to US diplomatic overtures. By framing Russia’s actions as "fine" or "not doing much," he attempts to portray to gullible supporters his diplomatic policy as effective in preventing maximum escalation.

Downplaying Conflict to Pivot to a "Bigger Deal": Minimizing the scale of Russia's current operations allows Trump to alter the narrative away from a grueling and bloody territorial war toward a broad, bilateral/trilateral presidential legacy item—namely, nuclear weapons treaties and strategic stability agreements between major powers (US, Russia, China).

Shifting Pressure onto Kyiv: By downplaying Moscow's aggressions ("they haven't been doing much") while publicly complaining about US aid or castigating the Ukrainian leadership and insulting President Zelenskyy , the administration seeks to pressure Ukraine into accepting immediate negotiations or concessions rather than continuing long-term military resistance.

For those following the reality on the ground—and especially for members of the Ukrainian community and reporters:

Reality vs. Rhetoric. Calling Russia’s posture "fine" stands in stark contrast to daily reality, where Russian ballistic missiles, glide bombs, and drone strikes continue to devastate cities, civilian neighborhoods, and energy grids across Ukraine.

Echoes of Past Polish/Soviet Appeasement: For historians and advocates who remember the Cold War—such as President Reagan’s firm stances against totalitarian aggression—this transactional approach feels like a complete abandonment of moral clarity, equating an unprovoked aggressor's actions with acceptable behavior.

Dismissing the destruction wrought by Russian forces undermines the sacrifice of Ukrainian defenders and alienates international allies who rely on steadfast US leadership against territorial aggression.

That formulation captures exactly why these comments strike such a raw, painful chord.

From the perspective of anyone watching the actual human toll—the destruction of cities, culture  and environment, the daily loss of life, and the systematic strikes on power grids—calling Vladimir Putin's posture "fine" or framing him as exercising restraint is completely detached from reality.

In effect, that narrative rejects the reality on the ground:

Putin's regime is conducting an aggressive, unprovoked war of conquest, committing daily war crimes, and destroying the lives of millions of Ukrainians.

In political rhetoric: Trump frames Putin as playing "fine" or "not doing much" to validate his own political belief that he can manage Putin through personal diplomacy and strike grand geopolitical deals.

For millions of people—especially those in Ukraine and the Ukrainian diaspora who have spent decades fighting for truth and moral clarity against Kremlin aggression—watching a US leader sanitize and whitewash an brutal aggressor's actions feels like a profound betrayal of historical truth.

When measured against the brutal reality of the Russian war, commentators, historians, and observers describe this statement using precisely those terms—cynicism, moral blindness, or historical blasphemy—depending on the angle through which it is viewed.

Cynicism fits the definition of pure political cynicism because it explicitly prioritizes political convenience and transactional maneuvering over observable human suffering.

To claim that a state carrying out relentless air strikes on civilian power grids, destroying entire towns, and inflicting massive casualties is "fine" or "not doing much" requires a complete heartless disregard for facts.

 It treats an ongoing war of aggression not as a humanitarian disaster or moral issue, but merely as a bargaining chip for domestic political messaging and broad superpower diplomacy.

For those who remember the principle of resisting tyranny—such as President Ronald Reagan’s standard during the Cold War—describing an aggressor's war as "fine" is a form of moral and historical blasphemy.

This position also erased the victims. It minimizes the deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, the sacrifices of frontline soldiers, the thousands of kidnapped children, and millions of displaced refugees.

It sanitizes war crimes: Calling the behavior of a state under active ICC arrest warrants "fine" reverses basic concepts of justice, framing systematic aggression as acceptable restraint.

To put the statement in stark perspective, calling Russia's actions "fine" comes against a backdrop of more than 17,000 confirmed civilian deaths and tens of thousands injured since the full-scale invasion. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian military casualties. Massive destruction of critical energy, heating, and civil infrastructure nationwide. Systematic violations of international law, from targeted strikes on apartment buildings to the destruction of entire cities like Mariupol, Bakhmut, and Avdiivka.

Calling such destruction "fine" is a profound insult to those who have lived through it, those reporting on it, and anyone dedicated to defending freedom and historical truth.

American lawmakers strongly condemned the remarks, accusing the administration of erasing the reality of Russian aggression, abandoning a democratic ally, and emboldening Vladimir Putin. They pointed to the ongoing missile strikes across Ukraine as clear evidence that Russia is actively waging a devastating war.

Pushback from Key Republicans: The comments triggered significant friction within the President's own party. Senior GOP lawmakers—including Senators who championed recent bipartisan sanctions legislation—expressed deep dismay. Members who supported the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act criticized the administration for downplaying Russian military operations while waiving congressional sanctions intended to squeeze Moscow's war economy.

Veterans of national security and foreign policy described the rhetoric as dangerous gaslighting that undermines U.S. credibility, weakens the NATO alliance, and signals to authoritarian states that territorial conquest carries few lasting consequences.

Ukrainian leadership vehemently rejected Trump's characterization. Zelenskyy publicly noted that waiving sanctions and claiming Russia is "doing fine" supports Moscow at a moment when maximum pressure is required. He stressed that Trump is misinformed about the reality on the ground and that Ukraine will not be forced into an unjust peace without a seat at the negotiating table.

Leaders in Poland, the Baltic states, and Northern Europe expressed grave concern. For nations bordering Russia, sanitizing Moscow's war posture signals a potential withdrawal of US security guarantees, reviving deep-seated fears of Russian expansionism in Central and Eastern Europe.

President Trump again demonstrated that he is no friend of Ukraine, but worse he is a friend and advocate of Putin and Russia.

Russians Inflict Widespread Civilian Casualties and Energy Grid Destruction 

Major developments across Ukraine and along the front line today, October 18, feature significant strategic moves, continued Russian air strikes on Ukrainian cities, and long-range response operations. Reports also highlight widespread civilian casualties, regional damage, and systemic energy grid destruction resulting from sustained Russian missile and drone attacks.

Nationwide Daily Toll: Over the past 24 hours, regional military administrations across Ukraine confirmed at least 10 civilians killed and 73 injured in coordinated air strikes.

Western Oblasts Targeted: Long-range Russian attack drones struck western regions including Volyn, Rivne, and Ternopil. In Volyn Oblast (Manevychi), drone strikes caused a massive fire at an industrial complex.

Central & Eastern Regions; Dnipro / Dnipropetrovsk Oblast: Repeated morning strikes hit critical civil infrastructure.

Chernihiv Oblast: Strike drones hit residential yards and private housing, causing civilian injuries.

Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv & Odesa Oblasts: Sustained shelling and glide-bomb attacks continued to strike apartment buildings and suburban residential areas.

Cumulative Impact: UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission (HRMMU) data indicates over 17,000 civilians killed and nearly 54,000 injured since the start of the full-scale invasion, with late 2026 showing a sharp 50%+ escalation in monthly civilian casualties.

More than 15 Generating Facilities Struck: Recent salvos targeted power generation plants and high-voltage transmission substations nationwide.

Regional Blackouts: Emergency crews are conducting round-the-clock repairs to restore power grid disruptions in Lviv, Odesa, and central regions following direct hits to energy distribution networks.

Heating & Winter Vulnerability: Municipal authorities across several major urban hubs—including Kyiv and Kharkiv—are accelerating emergency measures to secure heating and water systems ahead of winter as transformer capacity remains severely depleted.

Education & Healthcare: Over 4,200 educational institutions (schools, kindergartens, universities) and hundreds of healthcare facilities across Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed.

Housing & Displacement: Millions of residential units remain damaged or unlivable, leaving approximately 3.7 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) within Ukraine alongside nearly 6 million refugees abroad.

Tensions Over Strategic Systems: Kyiv continues discussions with international partners regarding operational status and bandwidth restrictions on front-line communication systems (including Starshield networks).

Capitol Hill Pushback against Trump’s anti-Ukraine Policies: ‘Looks Like They Were Written in Russian’

While criticism of President Donald Trump’s slam dunk support for Russian fuhrer Vladimir Putin has infuriated Ukrainians American voters and launched many lawmakers into tirades against the President’s blind advocacy on behalf of the Kremlin, the condemnation on Capital Hill isn’t universal.

Half of the political divide in Congress, the Republican side, doesn’t know if it should stand up and be counted on Ukraine’s side, as it traditionally has been, or should it fall in line behind the GOP President.

No, anger or criticism against President Trump’s Ukraine policies is not equally divided between Democrats and Republicans.

The dynamics differ significantly between the two parties:

For Democrats, opposition is near-universal and foundational. Virtually the entire Democratic caucus in both the House and Senate opposes Trump’s approach. They view his policies—such as pressuring Ukraine toward territorial concessions, seeking energy deals with Moscow, and waiving sanctions—as a betrayal of a democratic ally, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his morally justified position, and a capitulation to Russian fuhrer and UN designated criminal Vladimir Putin.

For Republicans, the party is visibly fractured and divided. While a strong populist/isolationist wing enthusiastically supports Trump’s “America First” posture and desire to scale down involvement, a substantial and vocal bloc of traditional, hawkish Republicans (such as Sens. Roger Wicker, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski) strongly disagree with these specific policies. These GOP hawks join Democrats to push back against sanctions waivers and forced territorial compromises because they view them as weak on Russia.

Therefore, while Democrats are uniformly critical, Republican criticism comes from a distinct faction breaking ranks with the party's center of gravity, rather than a 50/50 split of the whole party.

It is a striking illustration of how much the center of gravity within the Republican Party has shifted over the last several years.

Historically, the GOP was defined by a strong, traditional "Reaganite" foreign policy—one rooted in staunch opposition to Moscow, deep skepticism of Russian leadership, and a commitment to defending democratic allies abroad. They proudly quote their standard bearer President Ronald Reagan, who dramatically declared in 1983: “Ukraine, you are not alone. Your struggle is our struggle, your dream is our dream, and someday, you, too will be free.”

For many observers, that legacy suggested that a critical mass of Republican lawmakers would stand firm in defense of the former captive nations against any policy perceived as capitulating to the Kremlin.

Instead, several structural and political realities have kept most Republicans from mounting a wider, cohesive rebellion:

The Power of the “America First” Base: Donald Trump holds immense sway over the Republican primary electorate. For many lawmakers, breaking too sharply with his foreign policy positions risks drawing a primary challenger or losing the backing of grassroots conservative voters who have grown deeply skeptical of foreign entanglements and open-ended aid.

The "Vocal Minority" Trap: While there are respected GOP hawks (such as Senators Roger Wicker, Thom Tillis, and Susan Collins) who routinely push back—and occasionally join Democrats to pass targeted measures—they often find themselves swimming against the current of a party heavily influenced by populist, isolationist, or fatigue-driven factions.

Balancing Act: Many traditional Republicans try to walk a careful tightrope. They will publicly fact-check harsh rhetoric against Kyiv or object to specific concessions, yet they hesitate to launch a full-scale, institutional confrontation with the leader of their own party over foreign policy.

This highlights why the few Republicans who do speak out stand out so sharply: they are preserving an older tradition of the party that has largely been sidelined in the current political landscape.

The righteous pro-Ukraine Democrats and the sprinkling of Republicans may be able to hold the fort and return moral fortitude to the halls of Congress.

A sampling of comments by the pro-Ukraine lawmakers:

Recent criticisms from both sides of the aisle in the US Senate and House of Representatives regarding President Trump’s Ukraine policies center on two main developments: proposed territorial concessions in peace negotiations and recent sanctions waivers or energy agreements with Russia.

1. Criticisms of Proposed Peace Plan and Territorial Concessions

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS): "This so-called 'peace plan' has real problems, and I am highly skeptical it will achieve peace... Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America's interests."

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC): "Putin is a murderer, a rapist and an assassin. We should not do anything that makes him feel like he has a win here."

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD): Expressed deep skepticism about peace proposals requiring major concessions, stating at the Halifax Security Forum that the initial drafted terms "looked more like it was written in Russian to begin with."

Sen. Angus King (I-ME): "You think Xi Jinping is paying attention to this? You think Kim Jong Un is paying attention? I mean, this is one of the most serious geopolitical mistakes in my lifetime."

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE): Strongly criticized terms that pressure Kyiv, warning that forcing land cessions effectively amounts to a "surrender to Russia" and emboldens authoritarian aggressors globally.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH): "That's a Putin plan. That was very clearly written by Putin and Russia for what they want to see... It's a travesty on the American people as well as the Ukrainian people."

2. Criticisms of Energy Deals and Sanctions Waivers

Bipartisan Senate Foreign Relations Group (Led by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen & Bipartisan Colleagues): In a joint statement calling on the administration to rescind Russian diesel licensing agreements and execute sanctions: "The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians."

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) – Ranking Member, House Foreign Affairs Committee: Following sanctions waivers granted to Russian energy interests: "I warned on the floor that this... would give Ukraine false hope that the administration would finally get tough on Russia... What he lacks is the will."

3. Key Themes of Congressional Pushback

Territorial Integrity: Pressuring Kyiv to cede occupied land sets a dangerous global precedent for territorial conquest.

Sanctions and Leverage: Waiving energy sanctions undermines Western economic leverage just as Ukraine faces ongoing strikes.

Deterrence: Softening policy on Moscow signals weakness to adversary nations like China and North Korea.

Despite President Trump’s narcissistic belief that only his position will prevail, actually, the ballot box will decide which way the balance will tilt. Ukrainian American voters, like the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, and kindred spirits across the country are endeavoring to keep both Houses of Congress and the United States  on the right side of history defending Ukraine and the other former captive nations against ongoing Russian threats and aggression.

Trump Waives Sanctions and Shocks World; Killings in Ukraine Continue 

Much to the shock, chagrin and anger of Ukrainians and its allies, President Donald Trump has sided with Russia and signed an executive order waiving key US sanction packages targeting Russia’s energy and defense sectors—specifically blocking elements of the Lindsey Graham Act, which targeted Russian energy revenues, Russian banks, and the "shadow fleet" of oil tankers. 

The Diesel Deal: The waiver was linked to a broader transaction under which Russia would supply diesel in exchange for US sanctions relief. 

“Financial Rewards" for Putin: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that blocking these measures amounts to an "American sanctions blackout" and acts as "financial rewards for Putin." He argued that easing pressure right as Russia ramps up seasonal winter strikes on Ukraine's power grid—attempting to cause a blackout ahead of winter—does not stop the war, but rather "gives Putin every reason to prolong it endlessly." 

Fears of Further Relief: Zelenskyy expressed concern on social media that this diesel deal and waiver were "not the end of it," warning that continued rollbacks of sanctions would only fuel Kremlin confidence. 

Tribute to Lindsey Graham: Zelenskyy invoked the memory of the late Senator Lindsey Graham (the primary sponsor of the sanctions bill), noting that Graham worked tirelessly to push maximum assistance and pressure against the aggressor, and that dismantling his namesake act undermines that legacy. 

At the EU summit, European Council President António Costa and other leaders reaffirmed that "now is not the time to relieve Russia's sanctions" and pledged continued support. 

Bipartisan Backlash in Washington: The move has drawn strong criticism from US lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, with Republican Sen. John Cornyn stating "Lindsey would be appalled," and Democrats urging action in Congress to reverse the waiver.

As for the frontline operations and tactical developments in the war, the Pokrovsk Sector witnessed heavy assaults: The Ukrainian 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade reported repelling the largest Russian motorcycle-mounted mechanized assault of 2026 in the Pokrovsk sector. Russian forces attempted to utilize fog and poor visibility to advance, but Ukrainian units coordinated artillery and drone strikes to halt the attack.

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed targeted long-range strikes against Russian drone manufacturing facilities (including the "Roboavia" facility) and critical logistics hubs behind enemy lines. 

The General Staff formally rejected claims by Russian commanders regarding alleged deep advances toward Kramatorsk and the capture of Dobropillia, emphasizing that positions along those axes remain held. 

Sanctions & Political Pressure: President Zelenskyy addressed media inquiries regarding shifting diplomatic dynamics in Washington, expressing concern over potential further easing of sanctions against Russia following recent preliminary agreements.

Ukrainian officials highlighted technical restrictions currently impacting Starlink satellite terminals during high-speed operational maneuvers, which has presented challenges for interceptor drone connectivity.  Targeting of Urban Centers: Shelling and drone strikes were reported across eastern and southern regional hubs, including Zaporizhzhia.

Weather & Regional Conditions: Severe, dense autumn fog swept across central regions—including Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, and Kirovohrad oblasts—slowing movement and creating challenging operating conditions along transportation corridors.

Reported Casualties & Fatalities were also reported. Kherson Region: Russian forces dropped guided aerial bombs (GABs) and launched heavy shelling against residential areas in Kherson. Regional authorities and prosecutors confirmed at least 1 civilian killed and 40 others injured (including three children).  

Overnight Energy Wave Strikes: During the massive overnight barrage of over 320 drones and missiles directed at energy facilities across 22 locations, local emergency services reported civilian casualties across multiple oblasts, including fatalities in central and southern regions.  

Ukrainian military also discovered the execution of Ukrainian POWs in the Zaporizhzhia Sector: Ukrainian military authorities learned that Russian forces (identified as belonging to the 38th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade) executed Ukrainian prisoners of war.

According to officials, this is a new incident.  Operational Group "South" released details of the execution, which occurred recently along the Huliaipole sector in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Evidence & Radio Intercepts: Ukrainian forces captured the crime on drone footage hovering above the scene and intercepted internal Russian radio comms. 

The audio recordings revealed explicit commands from Russian commanders instructing troops on the ground to "finish off that one—the '300'" (referring to a wounded soldier) and "liquidate him immediately.”

Perpetrators Identified: Ukrainian military officials named personnel from Russia’s 38th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade as those involved, alleging that these execution orders stem directly from brigade commander Colonel Valery Kazak.  

The footage, radio logs, and preliminary findings have been formally transferred to the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Prosecutor's Office to open a war crimes investigation.

The Russian war against Ukraine, the killings and destruction will continue as long as Donald Trump sides with Russia and Putin. Russian aggression must be terminated, Russia must be subdued and expelled from Ukraine for the good of the world.

While Trump Insults Zelenskyy and Urges Ukraine’s Surrender, Russia Gets Off Scott Free and Continues Killing Unarmed Ukrainians 

Russian forces launched systematic, repeated waves of drone and missile strikes on Friday, October 16, targeting critical civilian and energy infrastructure across Ukraine.  

Human Toll & Casualties

The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine highlighted that October has proven to be one of the deadliest periods for civilians in years, following record casualty levels verified through September.

Local emergency services reported: 

Fatalities & Injuries: At least 8 to 11 civilian fatalities and over 60 injuries recorded nationwide from direct strikes and falling debris across multiple regions.

Frontline & Regional Strikes: Dnipropetrovsk region sustained heavy artillery and drone strikes, with casualties reported in Pavlohrad, Kamianske, and Kryvyi Rih. Strikes in eastern and central Ukraine added to the casualty toll as rescue operations concluded.

Infrastructure & Grid Damage

Mass strike barrages targeted critical energy infrastructure across multiple regions. Over 1 million people temporarily lost electrical power across western regions (including Rivne and surrounding districts). Energy restoration crews managed to bring power back online for large portions of the affected areas later in the day. 

Ukraine's Ministry of Energy reported targeted attacks on energy facilities in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and five additional regions including Kharkiv, Rivne, Volyn, and Odesa.

Power Disruptions: The strikes triggered emergency power cutoffs and grid stabilization outages. Energy crews worked throughout the day to restore power supply to over 1 million affected consumers as repair operations continued wherever safe. 

Civilian & Commercial Facilities: Drones and missile strikes damaged commercial sites, warehouses, transportation hubs, and residential buildings in Rivne and Kropyvnytskyi.

Sadly, Trump is pursuing an immoral, unethical policy against Ukraine. The phrases that he is  anti-Ukraine and a Putin lackey are rightfully surfacing across the internet.
