Summary

A Russian missile strike hit a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, where U.S., U.K., and Ukrainian humanitarian volunteers were staying. They survived, but four others were killed, and over 30 were injured.

Zelensky condemned the attack and urged continued pressure on Russia. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for peace talks, pausing U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing after a dispute with Zelensky.

Critics fear Russia now has leverage in negotiations, as Europe struggles to fill the gap left by reduced American support.

Trump will say it's Zelensky's fault because he wouldn't agree to his terms

[-] TheObviousSolution@kbin.melroy.org 126 points 4 months ago

Trump is probably happy these particular people were killed. They were probably the same sort of journalists he's banning from press conferences.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 21 points 4 months ago

he will also just 'fake it', as he does many other things, so long as he can advance ~~his~~ putin's agenda.

[-] towerful@programming.dev 18 points 4 months ago

Or say that Zelensky attacked the hotel in a false flag in order to pressure for support

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 4 points 4 months ago

While I can see that being used, I don't think this was intentional or big enough.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Zelenskyy doesn’t need to stage any false flags.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

No I agree, I thought it was Russia that would say Zelensky did a false flag

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

putin likes to use other people to do it for them, so he doesnt get the blame entirely. these are GANG/mafia methods MO.

Yes, and I’m very scared how many people mistake his attempts at appeasement as “peace”. What can be done? People are actually buying that Zelensky doesn’t “want peace”.

[-] TheObviousSolution@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 4 months ago

One is a leader defending their country against an invasion. The other is a leader threatening several other countries with tariffs and the slight threat of invasion. It's clear who wants peace, those people are just in a cult whose capacity for logical leaps will never stop until the whole cult is history.

You’re right. I just wish there was a way to change that narrative. I’m worried that too many people buy into it. I’m worried that too many people are buying into the whole “I just want bloodshed to stop” sayings.

"Check out was at 10AM. They shouldn't have been there, stupid humanitarians." - Trump, maybe

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I mean he didn't say die but in his speech he already said about the economy/tariff situation that, and I quote, "there'll be a little disturbance, but we're ok with that". immediately made me think of this quote.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

A bit of artistic licensing

"Some of you may die, and that's exactly how I want it."

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 62 points 4 months ago

trump is a gutless traitor, a demented rapist, and more incompetent than a bag of shit.

Will no one rid me of this demented rapist traitor?

[-] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Dont forget convicted felon.
From an outsider its extremely baffling that one president resigned from office after they found out he was fucking his secretary but this guys laundry list of actual real harm done is so long it would be like santas list from a cartoon christmas movie, and yet...
Voted him in when everyone was fully aware of everything.

I just cannot comprehend the USA

I'm sure this is somehow Biden's fault. If not his fault, then it's Zelensky's. Or immigrants. Or DEI. Or Wokeness. Or trans athletes. Or Hillary's. Or....

Trump helping to get Americans killed. He just doesn't care. Must have caught that from his wife.

[-] burgersc12@mander.xyz 6 points 4 months ago

I don't think Krasnov has ever cared about anyone but himself...

[-] 0xD@infosec.pub 20 points 4 months ago

Trump is pushing for peace talks

What the fuck is this reporting?!

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 6 points 4 months ago

It's accurate, it's just not informative enough.

Trump is pushing for peace, as in: Do everything Putin wants and you can have peace! Simple!

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Including, apparently, overthrowing Zelenskyy and installing a puppet.

EU needs to just suck it up and add Ukraine however necessary. Russia can't fight them all.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

NewsWeek has always been a fascist rag.

Edit: the only reason it is well known is that propagandists paid to have it placed in every hotel room in the USA. Same as the Gideon Bible.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

Putin testing his lapdog Trump if he will bite back to his owner.

[-] margaritox@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

I was on a Viber call with my cousin when this missile was flying towards my hometown, where she lives now. We were both crying as she was getting the notifications saying how many seconds are left until it hits.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Comparing our reaction to this to the sinking of the Lusitania will be interesting.

[-] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 months ago

Russia is trying Israel's moves. Hospitals and journalist families next!

One of three possibilities.

  1. Orange Krasnov & Tulsi
  2. Pissed off Ukrainian
  3. The fucking Muscovites got lucky.
[-] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

You forgot:

  • Meteorite mistaken for missile
[-] SirDankbud@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

I hope some of those US citizens includes the people Trump sent to Ukraine to chat with Zelensky's opposition.

[-] sommerset@thelemmy.club 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

This guy simply don't understand, these cheap propaganda tricks simply don't work anymore

[-] zenitsu@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sure vatnik. As if propaganda is required to show that Russian invaders are subhuman scum.
