Russian missiles strike Ukrainian military range near Poland, killing dozens.

At least 35 people were killed and 134 injured early Sunday when a barrage of Russian missiles slammed into a military facility in western Ukraine about 15 miles from the border with Poland, bringing the fighting ever closer to NATO’s borders.

The strike came a day after the Kremlin warned that it viewed Western weapons shipments as “legitimate targets,” heightening the possibility of a direct conflict with the West. It left more than 134 people injured, the regional governor, Maksym Kozytskyi, said on Telegram.

On Sunday, Russia’s Ministry of Defense issued a statement that was at odds with the Ukrainian account and threatened more such attacks. “At these facilities, the Kyiv regime deployed a training center for foreign mercenaries before being sent to the areas of hostilities against Russian military personnel, as well as a storage base for weapons and equipment coming from foreign countries,” the statement said.

. . .

NATO troops have for years deployed to the military facility, also known as the International Peacekeeping and Security Center, for training alongside Ukrainian troops, with Americans on-site as recently as February.

2. It's just a matter of time before one the Russian misiles

go astray and hit something in a NATO country.

3. I'm sure of that, too, doc03.

That's just prolonging the confrontation that could possibly save a lot of lives NOW.
