Russia Bombs Celebrity Chef Jos Andrs Community Kitchen In Kharkiv

The kitchen was set up by World Central Kitchen, a charity that establishes feeding systems in disaster and war zones.

KHARKIV, Ukraine ― Russia’s bombardment of cities around Ukraine on Saturday included an explosion in Kharkiv that destroyed a community kitchen.

Associated Press journalists at the scene recorded the immediate aftermath of the apparent missile attack. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said three people were killed and 34 wounded by missile strikes Saturday in that city alone.

another donation. one of my personal fears since this war began is famine. putin is a megalomaniac who admires stalin and imo, would like to exceed his most infamous accomplishments. so I've been donating to this organization since it began.

war crimes. crimes against humanity. he will starve his own people too, do not doubt it. he will starve Europe if he can. he needs to be ended.



it's the 21st fucking century. so wrong.

though in Putin's case, I think he rather enjoys the cruelty and pain he causes. How can one oversized ego affect millions of people?

3. +1 his ends justify the means... This psycho sadist does not care if he kills every Ukrainian

and along the way kills all his troops. Power and control is all he understands.. What I fear is with this mindset he will have no problem shooting off some nukes while he sits in his bunker. Just so long as he wins and they loose at any cost. End of story.
How do you deal with a mad man like this?

Someone like Putin will never be happy, so he will continue on his mad journey of destruction. I am afraid that if he knows he is losing, he'll be inclined to just take everyone else with him. "If I can't win, then everyone must lose!" I don't think there is any limit to his madness.

The fact that history keeps repeating itself over and over again is truly terrifying.

through a Mr. Rogers like perspective - "Good people do bad things now and then", but now I'm starting to believe that there are truly bad people. They may do good things now and then, but they are still predominantly rotten to the core.

Then there are people who basically aren't particularly bad, but they unfortunately choose to follow people who are inherently evil, which feeds the evil and allows it to grow. Without these people the darkness would have no real power.

Yeah, definitely time for another cup of coffee!

7. This has been a genocidal "war" against civilians from the start.

No surprise that they would aim at groups providing food for civilians.

...may win a Ukrainian battle but he's going to lose his Ukrainian war...

...the World does not want to live or be in a Putin-world...

...the World will do whatever it takes to defeat him and Russia...

...sad to think we have to see and live through this today...
