Days after deadly missile strike on Ukrainian cafe, grief and a search for answers

U.N. and local investigators searched for answers on Saturday at the site of a Russian missile strike on a small Ukrainian village that days earlier turned its sole cafe to rubble and killed nearly 52 people gathered for a dead soldier’s wake, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other top officials in Kyiv. Local residents that same day began laying their lost friends to rest.

Representatives from the United Nations Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) spent much of the day speaking with local residents and survivors in Hroza, in the northeastern Kharkiv region, according to a statement shared with the Associated Press.

“My initial conversations with local residents and survivors indicate that virtually all those killed were civilians and that the target itself, a busy village cafe and store, was also clearly civilian,” Danielle Bell, who led the team that visited Hroza on Saturday, was cited as saying in the U.N. statement.

“What happened here is yet another tragic reminder of the deadly impact Russia’s invasion has had on Ukraine’s civilians,” Bell added.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

HROZA, Ukraine (AP) — U.N. and local investigators searched for answers on Saturday at the site of a Russian missile strike on a small Ukrainian village that days earlier turned its sole cafe to rubble and killed nearly 52 people gathered for a dead soldier’s wake, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other top officials in Kyiv.

Representatives from the United Nations Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) spent much of the day speaking with local residents and survivors in Hroza, in the northeastern Kharkiv region, according to a statement shared with the Associated Press.

The village cafe was obliterated and whole families perished after the missile strike on Thursday cut short a wake for Andriy Kozyr, a soldier from Hroza who died last winter fighting Russia’s invading forces in eastern Ukraine.

Before the couple was laid to rest, Tarannyk approached each casket in turn and silently said her goodbyes, gently stroking the dark green velvet fabric covering the coffins.

But guerrilla forces loyal to Kyiv have for months operated behind enemy lines, killing pro-Moscow officials, blowing up bridges and helping the Ukrainian military by identifying key targets.

Four people were injured by broken glass as Russian missiles struck the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk overnight, the regional prosecutor’s office reported Saturday.

I’ve always been morbidly interested in how generational hatred begins and gets transmitted through generations, sometimes without even getting additional exposure to the hated thing.

Anyways though, this, this right here, is how you create it. Prime example.

Everyone there may as well be a character in Romeo & Juliet now, unless they can put a mammoth amount of work in to self-heal all that anger. Which is pretty rare without help.

I'd say parents, politicians, pastors and propaganda.

It’s not a who as much as a what and a how. And large scale propaganda is only as old as literacy.

Propaganda was previously spread orally, and still doesn’t require reading - political rallies and people talking on television, for instance. As far as how, by spreading blame and hate, of course. Claiming the other side is out to harm your side and ascribing all problems to them.

I don’t think that fully gets to the deeply personal nature of it. Some people are just that simple, admittedly, but people generally don’t fully believe all the things they believe, in my experience.

Sure, people like this usually have a lot of cognitive dissonance and have no fully thought out their beliefs or why. The attitudes are ingrained emotionally and speak to some primitive tribal instincts.
