The strikes come as President Donald Trump intensifies his efforts to find peace for Russia and Ukraine.

krainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said 23 people were killed in the Russian strikes on Kyiv on Thursday, August 28, including four children. Eight other people remain unaccounted for. Why It Matters

The Russian strikes on Ukraine come as President Donald Trump pushes for peace in Ukraine, urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet Zelensky and agree on a settlement that ends the war after his recent summits with the two leaders.

The Russian attacks risk stoking Trump’s anger. He has threatened to take firmer action against Russia, likely in the form of secondary tariffs against its trading partners if it does not make peace with Ukraine quickly. What To Know

Zelensky said in a post on X that rescue operations at the site of a residential building that was hit, where all but one of the confirmed fatalities occurred, were now complete.

“The youngest girl was not even three years old,” he said.

Zelensky said 53 people had been wounded in the strikes, which had also damaged buildings belonging to the European Union and the British Council.

    Yeah, newsweek.

    Where’s CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo? Radio silence because there’s nothing good to say, or we get some kind of opinion piece trying to paint Ukraine’s losses as wins and Zelensky as some hero.

    The copium among you people is palpable. You’re incapable of recognizing when you’ve been taken for a ride or believed something that isn’t true.

    Propaganda works both ways. If you have trouble accepting this, then it’s probably because you’ve fallen for it without realizing it and can’t admit it.

      ???

      • CNN has an entire section on the frontpage for Ukraine.
      • CBS is reporting on Trumps apparent doubts that a meeting between Putin and Zelensky will happen soon.
      • ABC has two stories on Ukraine on the front page, one regarding Ukraine’s counterintelligence efforts regarding the assassination of a lawmaker and one on Trumps doubts regarding a meeting.
      • MSNBC seems very intent on reporting on every fart Trump does or does not let out, they have a World section but honestly there’s very little in there anyway.
      • NYT has an entire section on the war on the front page
      • WaPo seems to have the least. You need to go to their World section to find an article from yesterday on families who lived in Kursk when Ukraine invaded there, mentioning that Ukrainian soldiers generally treated them well and how much of an embarrassment that invasion was for Putin.

      But all of this I can hardly describe as radio silence. Besides, it’s only US media. I can assure you that there’s plenty of articles in European media too.

          Tired of arguing with you people.

          That doesn’t mean he’s correct or has a point, which he doesn’t.

          But hey man, you do you. Let people waste your time.

            He’s 100% correct, and his point was to demonstrate that you were wrong. Which you were.

            Hope that helps!
