Yep, even the air raid sirens have stopped working. No electric, no water. Ukraine’s “blitzkrieg” was no match for Russia’s scorched earth.
Russia wont stop. Once the box was open, it cant be closed.
Apparently power was only out for an hour in most places.
And keep in mind, this “scorched earth” strategy is centered on Kharkiv and areas the Russians claimed they were “liberating.” IOW, they’re terrorizing the population they claim was on their side all along.
I am kind of wondering if and when Russia touches off an EMP over the Ukraine.
Would kinda be curious to see how well that would work.
Kiev water and power
Total war
Not like the two civil wars I’ve witnessed
Ukraine took a hit in Kherson and zero gain
They then hit further east and Russia withdrew
Freepers claim total victory as usual
I doubt it
Russia has soft pedaled this war outside the east
Kiev is barely hit with water and power rarely off
I think Russia has commited 20% of war power to this war and being under a micro scope of agit prop they’ve been soft by Russian standards
Uke have suffered serious troop losses and we equip and I think manage them
Their blood our cash
Ukes admit Kherson cost them 5x Russian casualties
For nothing
We shall see
Russia will counter or move on
If they binned Kiev like they did Grozny it’d be over in days
But ironically politics have them on that I think
Usually it’s us in that position though we sure reduced Baghdad more
Twice
USA tactics is historically to take urban cities and declare political victory while the foe runs to the hills or jungle to wait us out
Russia usually tries to grind down the enemies fighting capacity
Two mindsets
Full bore no political considerations and for Ukraine it’s hopeless
So we’ll see how far Russia pushes this limited war to accomplish their goal
The east
No nato
Maybe the cake boy oligarch ring purged
Odds sure favor them
