With the reporting online, you'd think Russia has fired every missile it has.
Claim's of explosions in Kiev and dnipro
Definitely the biggest attack so far , either they have launched what they have or they have more missles than most believed they actually had
I've heard reported on here that 120 missiles and a few hypersonic ones where launched over 2 hours ago.
But begs the question, the earlier explosion allegedly an ammo dump etc..., was there any air alert?
Not good,
Hopefully we get a high rate of interceptions.
...
So Russia attack Kyiv, which has the most successful AA success rate in all of Ukraine, not a military target. Imagine if Russia wasn't a terrorist state and choose actual military targets instead or civilian ones.
It's how Russia operate they hammer the civilian populations until the civilians say.enough is enough we are the ones suffering and we want this to end
Oh I understand that, but even Russia has to see it's ineffective in Ukraine. I doubt you could break Ukranians even under full occupation.
As horrible it is to say, Russia are probably playing into Ukraine's hand. Waste their missiles on Kyiv while the actual Ukrainian army group up and ready for an offensive.
All they have to do is keep up the attacks and show the government can't protect them, who do you think the population will vent their frustration on,it won't be Moscow its who's in front of them ,the Ukrainan government ,
It's happened time and time again across the world,
Really, did it happen in Vietnam, did the Irish quit after years and years of being pounded, no and it won’t happen in Ukraine.
It didn't work on the British in ww2, the Japanese or Germany with bombing from the air and they were bombing in the thousands on some air raids. The Russians should be trying to hit ammo dumps or troop build ups. They should be disrupting the Ukrainian military but they are wasting their resources on civilian targets which they should never be going after. But if tonight is a massive air stikes etc. this is done even semi correctly against the Ukrainian counter offensive will be a major headache for the Ukrainians. This is what possibly might stop the counter offensive.
Looks like it worked wonders in Kiev overnight
The Russians only do semi correctly at best and it won’t slow the counteroffensive at all. I reckon that Ukraine are taking their time and it has the Russians rattled.
What?
No it dosen't, if anything it increases peoples hatred towards the perpetrators, hardens resistance, and can even get people to rally around a previously disliked or unpopular government.
There often seems to be a racist/xenaphobic attitude towards mass civilian attacks ie: If it happens to us "we will never surrender" (Blitz Sprit), but they are weak and can't take it.
Got a giggle out of this.
About time,and hopefully be there soon,they should have had those 8 months ago
Love to disappoint you.
Try to disappoint me all you like. I deal in reality, not make believe. Doesn't matter how I or anyone else feels about it.
What's the point of a referendum when Russia has displaced the indigenous population with planters?
Are you the same Kermit that posts mainly in the fantasy Island section on the weather board?
Was expecting terrible news this morning. Pleasantly surprised.
A referendum???????? . Are you out of your mind ? OK then .I will go along with your idea re the referendum on the condition that Putin repatriates all the UKr he forcefully removed , directly or indirectly from UKr occupied territory, that the Tarters are allowed to return from past ‘genocides’ of them and that some ‘ discount is calculated for the UKr killed since 1991.
what do you think Putin is at in ‘shifting/rearranging’ the population around the place , in his scorched earth policy where villages, towns, cities are raised to the ground, etc, etc and repopulating same with people from Moscovy and especially those from the East - being promised a BETTER life!!!!!
It seems Russia got exactly what they wanted - a massive arms depot which judging by the footage - possibly ends notions of a counter offensive. The Ukranians will dress it up as something else but the video and pictures speak for themselves. It was a massive arms dump. A very serious development. What could be even more serious for the Ukranians is how much US gear we're talking?
Ukraine has to prove it can do what it takes to hold US support- if they've lost a massive payload that won't go down well.
The longer they drag their heals with this offensive the more exposed their stockpiles becomes to attack. I hope they've not missed their chance pandering to outside political pressure.
I appreciate its a fine line though, keeping your friends supplying you happy while also doing what you feel is right for your country.
Why would they put ammo in a chemical plant that produce explosives?
Come off it, have you seen the footage of that explosion? That was an arms dump - not a "chemical plant that produces explosives". The weapons were lighting the sky for 3 hours.
Do you believe a "chemical plant that produces explosives" would not have been levelled literally at the start of the war??
There is a serious point to be made about corruption in Ukraine. A non-condusive environment to keeping secrets to say the least.
Can you post a link to the footage you mention as I'm only seeing reports of Ukraine air defenses taking down the majority of the missiles launched by the moskovytes and a picture of another civilian apartment block after being largely demolished?
Why would Ukraine store a large portion of their counteroffensive weapons in one place?
I find it hard to believe that the Ukrainian military would be inclined to replicate the Russian's habit of stockpiling ammo and equipment in large concentrations. That led to several of their dumps being blown up last autumn. Something blew and there was a big fire, but what?
Seemingly it was a train carrying ammo etc.
