This is not good news. Ukraine is spiralling out of control pretty fast. I hope this mayor can make a safe recovery. Very sad all the anti-semitism going on in Ukraine and also sad all the violence on all sides. I am still hoping Ukraine will be able to pull itself back together, but this is starting to look bleak.

JK2, "Kernes was shot while jogging, or taking a dip in a spring, according to conflicting media reports." Say whatttt?!! Those are two very different activities--sounds like a badly constructed cover-up to me!! At least make what he was doing when he got shot jive with the other account, lol.. Somebody needs to get their stories straight.

According to National news he was exercising. I would take it as jogging.
No matter what, violence is taking over the entire world. No person is safe,
unless they work for the U.S. Government under the our leader.
