  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Nine people have been killed in a Russian drone attack on a civilian minibus in north-eastern Ukraine, local officials say.

Regional military leaders said seven other people were injured in the attack on Saturday morning in Bilopillia, Sumy, as the minibus travelled to the regional capital close to Russia's border.

The report came just hours after Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks since 2022. No breakthrough was achieved, although a prisoner of war swap was agreed.

Volodymr Zelensky, Ukraine's president, said the attack was "a deliberate killing of civilians". Russia has not commented directly but state media reported forces had hit a "military staging area" in Sumy.

It amazes me how selective Western media can be.
Have they even reported about what the Russians found after they liberated Russian villages in the Kursk region?
War is full of tragedy. Some of it can be thought of as tragic mistakes but some events cannot be excused as such.
