Russia launched six hypersonic missiles able to evade air defences in the early hours of Thursday morning as it unleashed its largest missile barrage against Ukraine in three weeks.

Critical infrastructure and residential buildings in 10 regions had been hit, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said. At least six people were killed in a missile strike on a residential area in the western Lviv region, 440 miles (700km) from the frontline, according to emergency services. Three buildings were destroyed by fire after the strike and rescue workers were combing through rubble looking for more possible victims.

“The occupiers can only terrorise civilians. That’s all they can do. But it won’t help them. They won’t avoid responsibility for everything they have done,” Zelenskiy said in a statement.

Heard about this attack on the radio a couple hours ago. The missiles appear to have been launched in the early morning, likely around 4-6 a.m. Kyiv time on March 9th.

Here's another article link concerning the attacks:

The madman Putin must be stopped and Ukraine must win. The genocide of Ukrainians must be stopped.

No one, not a gambler, alcoholic, junkie, tweaker, druggie, etc, will change things until things hurt so much that they have nothing to lose when changing.

Sadly, the Russian people aren't there yet, and more Ukrainians will die.
