In retaliation for the terrorist attack against the Kerch Strait bridge, Russia has reportedly damaged an EU “mission” said to help organize security in Ukraine.
The EU Mission to Kyiv's windows were blasted out in Russia's missile strikes. The mission is right next to the Klitschko bridge. Curious to see how this is received in Brussels. @vonderleyen @JosepBorrellF pic.twitter.com/RUo6fT2t5P

While the Klitschko bridge (also known as the “Glass Bridge”) appeared to be the target, the EU, USG, and the war propaganda media will portray this as an attack on good-natured folks merely attempting to help Ukraine (the mission was established after the violent 2014 coup arranged by the neocon, Victoria Nuland, and the US state department).
Russia understands perfectly well what the purpose of a “mission” established in Ukraine to help a coup-installed government that includes neo-Nazi psychopaths is—to further integrate the economic and social basket case semi-country into the European Union and NATO, thus moving the threat closer to Russia.
The timing of the “collateral damage” to the “mission” is curious, considering:

If the bridge was indeed the target, the missile missed, as this video reveals:
The strike fell not on the “Klitschko bridge”, but a little further.

I believe, as stated in the tweet below, that the explosion was intended to send a message to the European Union about the role it plays in the war. The EU acted as an early enabler in arming Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
In March, Politico reported:
More than 25 nations have joined in purchasing and delivering weapons to support Ukraine’s war effort. The U.S. has sent billions of dollars in missiles, ammunition and other items to the front. The EU signed off on a €500 million ($551 million USD) package — a first for the 27-country European bloc — to help arm Ukraine. And both Finland and Germany have rewritten long-standing policy that barred exporting weapons into war zones. (Emphasis added.)

It would have been easy to take out the entire “mission” for its effort “to achieve a civilian security sector that is efficient, accountable, and enjoys the trust of the public,” according to the EUAM Ukraine website.
In September, the USG state department “committed an additional $457.5 million in civilian security assistance to enhance the efforts of Ukrainian law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to improve their operational capacity and save lives as they continue to help defend the Ukrainian people, their freedom, and their democracy from the Kremlin’s brutal war of aggression.”
Prior to that, in late March, the state department handed over $100 million in “civilian security assistance to enhance the capacity of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs,” according to this USG state department press statement.
It is a known fact or should be, that the main internal security apparatus of the Ukrainian state is the SBU (Sluzhba bezpeky Ukrayiny), or the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU). It is infested with neo-Nazis and violent ultranationalists that will not tolerate the kind of “democracy” EUAM claims to want for Ukraine.
Under Zelensky's watch, Ukraine's SBU has partnered with neo-Nazis from Azov and C14 to hunt down left-wing activists

In post-coup Ukraine, “internal security” is on par with that of its former mentor and collaborator, Nazi Germany, and the latter’s Gestapo. The SBU is busy at work eliminating the opponents of Zelenskyy’s authoritarian regime, the same as the Nazis did in Germany in the 1930s and early 40s.
As @dancohen3000 reported, exiled Ukrainian opposition figure @anatoliisharii said he faced a recent SBU assassination attempt after his friend was kidnapped.

Jason Melanovski writes:
The Kyiv Independent reported [in the last week of April] that “a hunt for alleged collaborators is underway in recaptured parts of the country.” The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) along with the national and local police, territorial defense units and the State Emergency Service, are leading the hunt for suspects.
In June, The Hard Worker Substack posted:
Perhaps most horrifying though, is that the intelligence agency of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), with their special forces unit referred to as the Alpha Group, perpetrated a large amount of human rights violations, aided by the volunteers from the numerous regiments and battalions of Ukraine, alongside the official Ukrainian military.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is, in itself, a creation by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) cooperates, and works alongside the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The Responsible Statecraft website notes the CIA “is operating in Kyiv and has been for some time, according to new reporting by the New York Times” (report locked behind corporate war propaganda paywall).
“The Ukrainian SBU security services has served as the enforcement arm of the officially authorized campaign of repression,” reports The Grayzone. “With training from the CIA and close coordination with Ukraine’s state-backed neo-Nazi paramilitaries, the SBU has spent the past weeks filling its vast archipelago of torture dungeons with political dissidents.”
The Ukrainian security service known as the SBU has served as the main enforcer of the post-Maidan government’s campaign of domestic political repression. Pro-Western monitors including the United Nations Office of the High Commission (UN OHCR) and Human Rights Watch have accused the SBU of systematically torturing political opponents and Ukrainian dissidents with near-total impunity.
The UN OHCR found in 2016 that “arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, torture and ill-treatment of such conflict-related detainees were common practice of SBU… A former Kharkiv SBU officer explained, ‘For the SBU, the law virtually does not exist as everything that is illegal can be either classified or explained by referring to state necessity.”
Yevhen Karas, the founder of the infamous neo-Nazi C14 unit, has detailed the close relationship his gang and other extreme right factions have enjoyed with the SBU. The SBU “informs not only us, but also Azov, the Right Sector, and so on,” Karas boasted in a 2017 interview.
The EU has hitched its wagon to neo-Nazis, sadists, torturers, and assassins. It showers this terror organization with praise:
EUAM is convinced that the SSU will with dignity master all challenges and prevent the enemy’s encroachments against the state of Ukraine by making best use of its 30-year experience in counterintelligence, counterterrorism and cybersecurity. The members of the Security Service, and in particular the Center for Special Operations “A”, destroy the enemy and capture invaders. The Departments for Counterintelligence and National Statehood Protection regularly detain Russian agents and saboteurs. SSU investigators record the crimes perpetrated by the invader and open criminal proceedings. Cybersecurity experts repel hacker and information attacks, initiate pressure on the aggressor’s infrastructure, and help to collect data on the movement of enemy’s equipment, subversive and reconnaissance groups.
Translation: the neo-Nazi-infested and CIA-controlled SBU aka SSU will continue to ferret out critics and political activists, described here as “Russian agents and saboteurs,” and torture and kill them. This is fully supported by unelected EU apparatchiks in Brussels and, without saying, Tony Blinken and his coterie of “humanitarian interventionists,” more accurately described as “liberal” neocons.
In a more perfect world, all of these characters, including Blinken, Biden, and Jake Sullivan, to name but a few would be brought before The Hague on crimes against humanity and enabling Nazi terrorism.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in that world.
