At least 24 people were killed and more than 50 injured after a drone strike hit a café and hotel in the Black Sea coastal village of Khorly in Russia’s Kherson Region, according to regional authorities.

Governor Vladimir Saldo said the attack occurred shortly after midnight during New Year’s celebrations and involved three unmanned aerial vehicles, one of which allegedly carried an incendiary device that sparked a large fire.

The regional government released images showing extensive damage to the buildings.

Saldo told RT the sickening attack was comparable to the May 2014 Odessa massacre. At the time, Ukrainian ultra-nationalists who supported the then recent Western-backed coup in Kiev chased 42 anti-government protesters into the city’s Trade Unions House before setting the building on fire and burning all of them alive.



Kherson Region, which Moscow claims as part of Russia following referendums in 2022, has been a frequent target amid the ongoing conflict.

  1. NZ’s fingerprints are all over this
    We are helping fund these macabre atrocities directly aimed at innocent civilians
    We are implicated and just as responsible
    NZ must exit the coalition of the willing for a war that is already lost
    And stop inflicting unnecessary misery suffering and death
    This really is an appalling disgusting completely unnecessary and sickening act

      • This all starts to make sense when you realise that ALL parliaments are Church parliaments. This goes back to the 1215 Magna Carta, where the Roman Catholic Church was given the right to “free elections”, which became Westminster Parliament/House of Lords in 1225. New Zealand’s parliament is under the control of the Roman Catholic Church’s military orders – The Knights of Malta/Jesuits, who exert their authority through their appointed offices such as the Governor General and Chief Justice. It all goes back to the Roman Curia of the Holy Roman Empire as expressed through the United Nations.

          • Yes the Virgin Mary was blessed but she wasn’t an ELOHEEM
            Matthew 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
            49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
            Mary while an Israelite was a creation origin earth
            Catholic doctrine says Mary is believed to be the human mother of Jesus Christ who is both fully God and fully human
            Which is absolute hypocrisy
            Like everything else that comes out of the Catholic Church
            She was neither God nor a Lesser God (ELOHEEM)

        • World Governments are the Beast of Revelation 13:1
          Judeo Christianity is the Beast of Revelation 13:11
          Who both get their power from Satan the Devil that Old Serpent
          Revelation 12:9

      • NZ’s contribution is meager
        But the thing is that makes Us implicated and involved
        So it doesn’t really matter how much We are contributing
        We are just as responsible
        And there is absolutely no need for Us to be there

    • …committed by appalling disgusting and completely unnecessary and sickening individuals in the beehive.
      We The People are shouting at them but they don’t want to hear!

  2. The flight plan of a Ukrainian drone shot down in Novgorod Region early on Monday proves that its intended target was the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said
    https://www.rt.com/russia/630314-ukraine-drone-putin-residence/
    Western governments and Ukraine have openly rejected Russia’s claims about who was behind the alleged drone attacks on one of Vladimir Putin’s residences
    Ukraine and EU officials called the allegation a “deliberate distraction” and denied any involvement
    The West was asking for evidence
    Now they have got it

  3. Labour and National, both financing the scum committing what is, by any definition, a war crime. I stand against Neo Nazi Ukraine and with Russia.

  4. We should stay out of this, it’s none of our business.

    Russia is alleged to be good at GPS spoofing. Would be a shame if they caused one of our warships to crash into a reef somewhere.

    • When doing a reef survey, I would have thought it would be better to rely on sonar and actual eyes rather than GPS. Reefs grow and shrink. Probably part of the reason for the survey
