Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Shit. USGS has this as a magnitude 8. Initial event depth is a 33 km, given the type of faults there this seems a bit unlikely (might be shallower).
