Missile strikes reported in Kyiv
CNN reporting explosions near Kyiv are missile strikes.
CNN reporting artillery heard from its location in Belogrod in Russia, about 25 miles from border. Artillery fired from close to the border could hit close to Kharkiv in Ukraine. Russian 155 mm cannons have about a 20 mile range. If they are located close to the border they could reach outskirts of Kharkiv. Russian artillery near border cannot yet reach Kyiv, which is why the capital is getting missile strikes.
The inevitable editor of my high school paper inevitably became the editor of my college paper. While Hungary revolted, the newsroom AP machine mesmerized me. Ukraine is an unspeakably sad repeat. Only the names and means of news delivery have been changed. Stalin's spirit was still fresh in '56. Putin is as twisted. Two years later the Kremlin put Hungarian reformist Imre Nagy in an unmarked grave. Now freedom irritates Hungary. Inevitably, the editor became a longtime New York Times reporter.
