Evil Vladimir Putin suffered a huge blow after Ukraine launched dramatic strikes on the dictator's oil refineries, defence plants, a military airfield, and radar facilities.
These huge hits came after Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to move closer to Russia after "provocative" threats of war with the US came from Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev. In a dramatic dawn strike, a huge fireball explosion hit military-linked Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery in Samara region with mushroom-shaped flames rising into the sky.

Another key oil refinery in Ryazan - crucial for supplies to capital city Moscow - was also in flames. Fires were reported to have been raging close to a military airfield at Primorsko-Akhtarsk, in Krasnodar region, used for Putin drone strikes on Ukraine.
A “major hit” was reported on a Russian air defence radar company near Feodosia in Putin-occupied Crimea - military unit 66571. There were giant “balls” covering radio-technical stations - one the size of a nine storey building.
Fires were recorded at the facility in the Tepe-Oba mountain range. One woman died in drone strikes on the Electropribor plant in Penza city, making special-purpose telecommunication and cryptographic equipment for Putin’s war machine.
Eight giant explosions were heard over the city followed by flames at the plant which was struck by long range Ukrainian drones. A defence-related radar plant in the city was also hit for the second time in three days, according to reports.
Ukraine also hit targets in Rostov region leading to one death, according to reports. The Ukrainian strikes on military-linked targets were in stark contrast to Putin’s assault on Kyiv on Thursday - one of the worst of the war.
A total of 31 people were killed including five children after Russia slammed a £2 million Iskander missile into a residential tower block Kyiv.

“...one is Trump himself.”
How many have succeeded when they go against him?
Mafia, judges, democrats, republicans, media, sports teams, New York, prosecutors, Iran, tariffs, border, Musk, Fox news, ?
“Russian oil refineries are back on the menu.”
Russia exports crude oil as ships are designed to take only one type of bulk hydrocarbon.
The Chinese and Indians have their own refineries.
You do know that your constant mantra about “the neocons” has reached the point where you are stark raving mad.
DJT and Tulsi Gabbard are no such thing.
You are just tossing around labels that you know people here don’t like.
President Trump is everything to this country and you are zip.
Whoa! She blowed up real good.
LOL!
Zeepers quacking about “blood lust”...
I feel like both sides are scorpions and we are the frog trying to decide which one to give a ride over the river.
I think thats the next step. A surge of weapons into Ukraine.
Penza is about 300 miles NE of Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Novokuybyshevsk is on the Volga near Samara.
It is about 400 miles ENE of Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The zeepers are lot like Jehovah’s Witnesses - get their foot in the door, and then you have to listen to their starry-eyed preaching.
“Zelya’s Witnesses”
Neither one.
We just have to get Bolton's neocons to stop playing "Let's You And Him Fight!" with the diminishing Ukie bodies.
When is YouCrayne going to get out of their defensive positions, go on offense
and take their territory back from Ruzzia?
“When is YouCrayne going to get out of their defensive positions, go on offense and take their territory back from Ruzzia?”
Actually, they were about to do that in the Kherson region, but then the Russians got wind of those plans, being made by NATO ‘advisors’ there, and one might say Russia ‘canceled’ those plans. After that, Zelensky said all high-level meetings will be in underground locations.
“The zeepers are lot like Jehovah’s Witnesses - get their foot in the door, and then you have to listen to their starry-eyed preaching.”
Admit it, it’s fun to see them being wrong with their claims and predictions (like we can stop a Mach 10 missile, LOL!), non-stop.
You just love posting the UK’s anti-Russia propaganda all day every day. Ukraine is on its last legs and will require NATO manpower if this continues. Is that what you want?
They likely won’t. They’ll just continue to hit Russia inside it. Again. And again. And again. And again until Russia starts crumbling and is unable to keep up any meaningful war effort. I see Trump ramping up drone production to a million a year and guiding every one into Russia for Putin and their people to enjoy. Maybe add water supply infrastructure to the refinery attacks. Food transportation and production facilities. Electrical grids and turn out their lights. Anything that makes medicines and medical supplies. Etc. Maybe 2 million drones a year to send into Russia?
And allow the invader to take the country?
Not just take the country but erase it as a nation and the cultural identity of its people. That’s as Nazi as it gets.
Yet somehow Ukrainians defending their own borders, language and culture against a patently Nazi invasion by Putin’s regime is a “Neocon” plot. That is a genuinely intectually disabled arguement and there is simply no reasoning with folks with such fevered day dreams and fantasies.
“Another key oil refinery in Ryazan - crucial for supplies to capital city Moscow - was also in flames.”
Russia tends to move things in bulk by rail. The refined products probably came into the Moscow by railcar.
Railcars will simply bring in refined products from other oil refineries.
“It’s a war.”
That’s the problem. Eventually the gloves come off.
* Dresden
* Hiroshima
* Sherman’s march to the sea
I have been wondering how long Russia’s critical infrastructure would be forbidden as targets. To date, the war has been very asymmetrical. Russia gets to bomb anything it wants in Ukraine. But the in-Russia targets for Ukraine have been very constrained by (I think) politics. Russia’s supply lines and production of stuff to keep the war going has been pretty much untouched until now.
“Maybe add water supply infrastructure to the refinery attacks. Food transportation and production facilities. Electrical grids and turn out their lights. Anything that makes medicines and medical supplies.”
Except for possibly the electrical grid, doing so would be war crimes I believe.
