Russia launched a wave of attacks on Ukraine on Tuesday, killing at least six people in overnight strikes that hit city buildings and energy infrastructure, while a Ukrainian attack in southern Russia killed three people and damaged homes, authorities said.
The large-scale attacks come during a renewed U.S. push to end the war that has raged for nearly four years and talks about a U.S.-brokered peace plan.

So sick and tired of these god damned nazis. Doesn't matter, the European war machine has started slowly grinding their gears again, as slow and rusty as they may churn, but there's money involved there now, and it won't shut off overnight even if "peace" is reached.
The genie is out of the lamp, can't be put back in, we won't be asleep by the time they go after their next victim. Russia needs to be taken out permanently.
