Ukraine conflict: Scores feared dead after Russia attack on Mykolaiv barracks

Scores of Ukrainian soldiers are feared to have been killed after an attack on a military barracks on Friday.

About 200 soldiers were sleeping in the barracks when three Russian missiles hit the base on the northern edge of Mykolaiv, a source told the BBC. Some 57 injured people were being treated in hospitals, another source said.

There are no official casualty figures.

Rescue workers crawling over giant piles of rubble found a survivor on Saturday - 30 hours after the attack.

The man was carried down the steep mountain of rubble in a stretcher and taken away by ambulance towards the city centre.

However, the temperature in Mykolaiv last night was minus 6C and it's feared there may not be many more survivors.

Vitaly Kim, head of the regional administration, blamed Russians for hitting "sleeping soldiers with a rocket in a cowardly manner".

"At least 50 bodies have been recovered, but we do not know how many others are in the rubble," a soldier named Maxim was quoted as saying by AFP news agency.

Every new tragedy is an unnecessary loss.
Zelensky is a pin-up, not a leader.

Self-defense is not illegal. The Palestinians, for example, are within their rights to defend themselves.

9. Overshadowing the arguments in Paragraph 8 above is the undeniable fact that the Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact of 1928, as definitively interpreted by the International
Tribunal at Nuremberg in 1948, has abolished forever the idea of acquisition of territory by military conquest. No matter who was the aggressor, international borders cannot change by the process of war. Resort to war is itself illegal, and while self-defense is of course legal, a successful campaign of self-defense cannot extend so far as to constitute a new war of aggression all of its own. And if it does, the land taken may at best be temporarily occupied, but cannot be annexed.

Totally incorrect. Why ? Because many Ukrainians see themselves as pro-Russian. Hundreds of thousands have moved to Russia and Belarus as refugees.
It's NATO's limited proxy war against Russia .

What does that mean?? If a country attacks you and you fight back, you are in a war . You are not acting illegally. It is Putin, Hitler, Bush and others who are acting illegally. Do you even try to think before you write a post defending Putin? What was the price for your integrity?

You should concentrate before blowing your mouth;

I guess this explains why he's finally ready to give up tilting at windmills.
How many of your people do you sacrifice before you start to care ?

If only there was such a country to defend, eh?

Have you considered joining the defense of Narnia from the White Witch?

Perhaps Gondor needs you to help them fight off Sauron.
