Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of bombing a boarding school in the Russian-occupied town of Sudzha, Kursk region, killing at least four civilians.

He claimed Moscow was targeting “even their own civilians.”

However, Russian officials blamed Ukraine for the attack, saying the missile came from Ukrainian territory and calling it a “crime.”

Sudzha has been under Ukrainian control since Kyiv’s forces crossed into Kursk last August.

    I recently saw several reports on the population of Donetsk & Luhansk. Seems that polls were falsified from the start of the invasion there, and also that right now a big majority of citizens (75%) in that region, wish to join Ukraine again. They now dislike their RuZ liberators. Anyone, seen something like this too?

    Edit: This info would probably have impact for the future border RF<> U.A. negotiations. The Krimm shows similar trends, but I imagine most know that already.

      I am an Italian teacher for war refugees and I got several people from the occupied territories. You know what? They speak Russian but they hate Russia with a passion, tried to switch to Ukrainian as much as possible and rallied for Ukraine.

      It was obvious for anyone with half a brain that the referendums were sham back then. It makes no sense to hold these after the fact that you send unidentified militia there except for trying to legitimize a scheme.

      They now dislike their Rus liberators.

      I’m actually more surprised people still speak Ukrainian there, I would have thought Russia put Russians there but I guess they either don’t want to go to these villages either (only the Krim) or they needed them elsewhere.

        Yes sure., But I was talking about the Polls, before the referendums, and a recent one since the illegal annexation.
