This resulted in three dead one-year-olds, five kids killed overall and another seven wounded. and a besieged capital cowering under his wrath. Kyiv is now the front line, and the cruelty has no ceiling, no limits and seemingly no end.WHAT DO YOU GIVE A KILLER FOR HIS BIRTHDAY? On Wednesday 7 October 2026, Vladimir Putin turned 74.
