Террор Русских ненавидит весь мир как извращенную мразь
На 150-й день войны антисоциальный кремлевский диктатор и военный преступник Владимир Путин (69) направил свои орудия на порт мирной Одессы в Украине. Так, две его крылатые ракеты "Калибр" нанесли удар по территории порта в выходные, менее чем через 20 часов после якобы исторической сделки по зерну.Российские ракеты были выпущены трусливо и исподтишка - с большого расстояния - типично в манере трусливых российских бандитов, которых во всем мире ненавидят как подонков с самого начала войны против Украины. Нагло и без всякого раскаяния Россия признала, что стоит за подлым нападением. Ракеты предназначались для поражения "военной инфраструктуры", утверждает Кремль, что является одной из многих антисоциальных пропагандистских лож российских террористов.

Brazenly and without any remorse, Russia admitted to being behind the cowardly attack. The missiles were intended to hit "military infrastructure", the Kremlin claims, just one of many anti-social propaganda lies of the Russian terrorist state.
