Luckily no casualties, the majority of inhabitants are already left.
I am so sorry - I wish I could offer something besides condolences and prayers. Did you and your father leave Kharkov?

Yes, we've moved to the neighboring region. Did not want to go to the Western Ukraine. The prices to rent an apartment skyrocketed there. It is telling that Poland, Slovakia, Romania, etc. are letting our refugees in and putting them in relatively good conditions, but our own countrymen from Western Ukraine frequently behave like rats and taking advantage of our suffering.

Ukrainian government sources so far say it "likely" has happened.

The Azov regiment is that one actual far-right part of the Ukranian armed forces. The other Ukranian news report on this relied on that regiment.

Not saying it didn't happen.

It's why I wait days before I believe any report like this is true.

I wish I could honestly say that I'm shocked. But I'm not.
It seems that there are always disgusting people who take every opportunity to exploit every selfish advantage possible at the expense of others.
There are no words to describe how disturbing and tragic this behaviour is...

How's this for stunning perspective...
Julian Lennon is now just about 20 years older than his father John was when he was killed.
Julian is 59 years old.
John was 40 when he died.
Amazing.

That's a huge psychological coup by Ukrainians. A ship like that can't be replaced. I bet the Russian navy will stay well off the Ukrainian coast from now on.

Already the Russian naval posture in the Black Sea appears to be changing, according to that senior U.S. defense official...

Four or five Russian ships began heading south, away from the Ukrainian coast, after the fire on the Moskva
