Nearly 1,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in one day in Ukraine, Kyiv has claimed, marking the deadliest day for Vladimir Putin since his troops invaded eight months ago.
Ukrainian forces have been making gains across Russian-occupied areas, with fighting intensifying in the country's east and in the southern city of Kherson.
-snip-
And in yet another example of his forces' incompetence, video shows panic-stricken Russian soldiers fleeing a Ukrainian attack on an armoured vehicle - only for it to flip over and fling the troops into the air.
Footage, apparently from Kherson, shows Russian soldiers running towards an armoured vehicle as Ukrainian missiles rain down on them.
The soldiers scramble on top of the armoured vehicle and are seen smiling as they speed off down a road away from the attack.
But the vehicle then veers to the right and into a ditch, causing the troopers- no longer smiling - to scream in fear.
The driver quickly steers to the left, but the speeding vehicle flips over - flinging the troops on to the road below them. The video then cuts out.
It comes as as Russia tries to round up as many men as possible and quickly push them to the front lines, regardless of skill, training and equipment.

This is mere hours after Zelenskyy said, “Kherson? Nah, it’s a Russian trap.”
And our country is BORROWING MORE MONEY to get involved in foreign wars. $31,000,000,000,000 in debt and going up faster than a speeding bullet.
31T and counting.....
Right on schedule of your intent is to break the system so you can make a new one based on “equity”.
Russian TV channels went off the air in Kherson city today. Ukrainian TV channels are back. Wha happen?
It will all be over by Christmas! The Russians Ran out of Rockets and shells months ago. Their loses are 200% Now using boys and girls to fight. Ukraine will no longer need fertilizer, so many Russian have been killed their blood will make the crops grow. Wait till England enters the fight and sends her ships, planes and men! The Americans own the night with their night fighting goggles—Russians have no chance! They will be beaten like the Viet Cong and the Afghans! They have no chance. The 101 Airborne alone could take on the whole Russian Army and send them packing. The Enslaved people of the Donbass will greet the Anglo-Americans with US flags as liberators! One American Soldier—woke and better trained— can beat twenty Ignorant poorly equip Russian draftees Poorly lead, they will surrender in hopes of going to America. Shanking in his boots Putin will not dare to launch even One nuke! All over by Christmas—Maybe.
“Russian TV channels went off the air in Kherson city today. Ukrainian TV channels are back. Wha happen?”
Barbarian Putin is depending on the low IQ score Russians to keep his game in play. His game of invading Ukraine. For no good reason//// What does Pooty the ultra-narcissist care about 60000 Russians he sent to their deaths in Ukraine?
Vanity is all, same as in the Bible
Rubles no longer accepted in Kherson city, too. Worst annexation ever.
Very sadly, I feel you are correct. Neither country can afford the loss of people and property this war is causing.
The video is revealing. It sounds like Allahu Akbar people scrambling. And the video shows an APC driving over obvious mines in the road. Are they that blind? Drunk on Vodka maybe?
Ukrainian army is surrounded and cut off; 65K will either surrender or be annihilated. Ukraine will NEVER be able to mount an offensive. The Russian are retreating as a trick to surround the Ukrainians. The Kharkiv offensive has failed! Russia didnt want the land it retreated from anyway. Zelensky is going to flee in two weeks. Bakhmut is surrounded. Kiev was just a feint.The attacks on the Kherson bridge as just pin pricks.
“And as a bonus, Putin had the shakes and the twisty-legs again today in Sochi. Time for another deer antler blood transfusion while he’s there.”
This diseased and cancerous puke. Nikolai Patrushev has been sick of this wasteoid dunce for at least 10 years. Let Patrushev take over and send Putin into permanent gay exile in Sochi
The Washington Post noted there are "power outages continuing in the Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions," and others. The Post listed some of the below regions impacted by large-scale power outages and water supply disruptions:
Kyiv region: Russian strikes damaged buildings, and rescuers are searching for victims, the regional police said. Attacks left 80 percent of the capital without water and are likely to cause sustained power outages, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Kharkiv: Two strikes hit critical infrastructure facilities in the eastern city, causing problems with the water supply and affecting the public transit network, the mayor said.
Zaporizhzhia region: An infrastructure facility was struck by rockets, the local governor said, prompting warnings from officials in the southern region that energy supplies there could also be affected.
Cherkasy region: Some of the region lost power after air attacks on infrastructure facilities, the military administrator said.
DTEK—the Ukrainian energy giant that provides a significant share of the country's energy supply—is running out of equipment to fix the widespread power outages the country has experienced under fire by invading Russian forces.
On Monday, officials with Ukraine's largest privately operated energy company announced it has depleted its stores of equipment following a series of attacks on the country's energy and water infrastructure over the past month. On Monday, Russian forces deployed at least 50 missiles targeting the country's electrical grid and water supplies, leaving swaths of the country without power as winter approaches.
While DTEK Executive Director Dmytro Sakharuk said Monday the company was able to purchase some equipment to offset the losses, the cost of the equipment is "now measured in hundreds of millions of dollars," with some outages estimated to last well into Tuesday.
Usual bullshit from Daily Mail))..
Putin surrendered the Black Sea to Ukraine and Turkey today. Embarrassing.
Putin going backwards in Ukraine for months. Digging defense trenches. Embarrassing.
My tolerance for the pro-Ukrainian nonsense is gone. I hope Russia wins.
Putin is trying to destroy the edifices and structures of Ukraine, but the Ukriane soldiers are not running away or losing as fast as Putin’s army of conscripts.
Kiev has to lie to keep the gravy train a rollin’.
