Yeah seeing it too
Dunno, but I heard the SSO Group of Ukraine blew up a bridge with enemy vehicles heading for Izyum 😁
Are the last 3 replies duplicated for anyone else?

Not sure where this Ukrainian report is from. Damage looks extensive. Anyone provide a translation?
I’d say the Ukrainians haven’t had the means to do that to date but may now with the extra military aid the USA and others are supplying. It’s clearly making a big difference and war is all about momentum.
Hope RU claims it And nobody objects to it.it’s probably full of Very interesting elements !,,,!
There is no benefit to them in doing that. I'd be talking about them hitting infrastructure that is vital to the Russians to prosecute the war.
Railways, oil depots, gas lines & bridges.
I am surprised they haven't had a go at the Crimean bridge given its importance to supply the Russians and the propaganda value destroying it would have.
And that is not even the latest model. The latest model has 7 knobs
It is not that well known but this ‘SHIP’ can operate under water, on water and on dry land. It’s probably most effective while on water!,,,,,,
Ukraine needs to concentrate on getting out from under these thugs influence- secure their borders and territory, dump out Russian agitators and move fully integrated into the western sphere- as per their aims anyhow. Let Moscow and co fester away in their shitehole kingdom. Western sanctions to continue as long as a Putin style regime maintains in Russia which could be decades/forever.
I would guess Ukraine have considered this but decided against it. Much better to retain the moral high ground and leave the Putin regime exposed as a bunch of homicidal maniacs who don't value human life.
I suppose one of the benefits of a strict authoritarian regime is that anyone even suspected of having Ukrainian sympathies is probably forced to relocate to some Siberian village in the middle of nowhere.
Also since Ukraine is actively defending itself from Russian advances I presume they're laser focused on fighting inside Ukraine and attacking targets which will actually help them militarily; rather than engaging in actions which would be likely to have mostly negative consequences for them both outside and inside Ukraine.
Not if it’s positioned (as it already is) as an existential fight for the Russian nation in the face of NATO aggression and expansion.
Because it would be completely idiotic. It serves no military purpose and will only galvanise support for Putin with the populace. The helicopter attack is obviously a false flag because even if ukraine wanted to harass civilians they aren't stupid enough to risk two helicopters to blow up some farm buildings as it serves no military purpose..
Poundland Hitler on the other hand has no qualms with blowing up his own people to galvanise support for him and has done so in the past.
Why would the Ukrainians carry out terrorist bombings in Moscow? What good would that actually do them in the grand scheme of things apart from lose them support with some nations?
Putin might be trying to set up a false flag operation
If Lithuanian report is anywhere near the truth - could be 400 sailors gone this morning. Turkish ship picking up c50 wouldn't be at odds with Russian statement.
Remember an American General Keane on Fox (yes, I know but their military coverage is actually very good) saying at the start of the illegal invasion that the conviction and morale of the Ukrainians to fight would be paramount. I guess he’s been in a few wars and knows exactly what he is talking about. He was spot on.
I am surprised we haven't seen terrorist bombings in Moscow yet. Surely not too difficult for Russian/ukrainians to pull off clandestine operations in Moscow.
The New York Times calling out Germany for talking a good game with Ukraine but acting for Russia.
The fox in the European democracy hen house
I'm hoping Putin gets to the 9th of May, has his pathetic parade and then pulls everything out of Ukraine saying something like, 'We really showed those Nazi's who's boss and have left them to their ruins.'
He'll then send an email to Zelensky 'All Russian troops pulled out of Ukraine... No need for you to enter Russia... we good?'
@Northernlily - Before he had liked to portray the image of an intelligent, calculating strong man.
Fixed that for ye.
I have to laugh at the Russians whinging at this. This is what happens in war, especially one that Russia kicked off. Its like they expect Ukraine to sit back and take the punishment without hitting back.
I suspect this is a false flag by Russia but tbh Ukraine has every right to hit back at Russia any way it can and its shown great restraint so far in mainly engaging with them on their own soil only.
Seriously can't see anyone in Ukraine hitting a few farm buildings. What would be the point? They NEED the goodwill from the West for the 'Good Guys'.
Bombing railways, military targets absolutely *strike up that slava Ukraini folk music*, but just to hit civilians when there will only be one winner in the barbarity war - I don't see it.
I don't think it has even dawned on the Russian public (yet) that the regime is losing the war, but you would imagine it will enter into the Russian consciousness soon enough. The very fact that we're nearly two months into the war and the regime has made very little progress in Ukraine simply has to start registering.
And it appears Ukrainian Helicopters have been conducted another incursion into Russia.
UPDATE: Pentagon spokesman John Kirby just said on CNN that the warship Moskva is still afloat but clearly damaged. He said it remains unclear whether the damage was caused by Ukraine missile attack. Russia claims that a fire onboard caused ammunition to explode.
