'Barbaric': Putin's Troops Level Government Building, Strike Residential Areas

[Townhall] Russian forces continued to hammer the city of Kharkiv in northeast Ukraine as Putin's unprovoked assault entered its sixth day on Tuesday, including a direct hit on a government building in the city's Freedom Square as attacks on non-military targets escalate.

In a video tweeted by Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmitry Kuleba that has been verified by NBC News and other outlets, a fireball erupts after a missile slams into the building. Kuleba's video includes footage of Ukraine's Emergency Service combing through what remains of the rubble while initial reports from those on the ground say there are multiple civilian casualties, including a child.

The attack on government and residential buildings in Kharkiv comes as Putin directs his troops to target residential centers and is coming under international scrutiny for his indiscriminate assaults on non-military targets. "It is not just a war," said Kharkiv's mayor of the Russian onslaught. "It is a murder of the Ukrainian people."

More than 10 civilians were killed and scores more injured by Russian attacks on Monday in Kharkiv and, as The Wall Street Journal noted, "an indication that Moscow may be shifting to a more destructive approach" as seen in attacks that hit two residential neighborhoods." Putin will also reportedly be shifting to night operations soon as he grows more frustrated with Ukraine's effectiveness against Russian forces.

#1 If he cannot control it, he will destroy it. Same methodology employed against the US economy by Biden and his cronies.

I'm missing the video of civilians by the side of the road throwing flower, cheering, hugging the 'liberators'.

#4 It is interesting to watch this story evolve. The other day, it was a missile attack on a public square. Today, the public square is a government building. Inquiring minds will wonder what sort of government activities were taking place there.

#7 Putin needs more dead civilians and infrastructure destroyed. He doesn't care, being the brutal dictator that he is. But Zelensky and the West do care, and the theory is this will bring them to the negotiation more quickly and willing to accept harsher terms. He may even pop a tac nuke (10-20kt) to add to the effects.

It worked for the US when up against the fanatic Japanese.

Power at work. Like it or not.
