Ukraine ‘kills up to 400 troops’ IN RUSSIA as HIMARS strike wipes out column in devastating attack on Putin’s doorstep

A DEVASTATING Ukrainian blitz has reportedly left up to 400 of Vladimir Putin's troops dead in a huge HIMARS missile strike.

Shocking images show an entire military column packed with soldiers in the Russian region of Kursk moments after it was blasted - with bodies pilling up on the road and inside of the burnt out service trucks.

Around 14 burnt out military vehicles all loaded with weapons and ammunition were struck in the blast.

The horrific convoy of exploded trucks covers well over 100ft of road.

Footage taken from locals driving past shows several trucks flipped on their side as others were left crushed with their wheels sent flying off.

The shocked civilians can be heard saying: "How many men?"

Why would cluster munitions make it off limits? This is an emergency military operation. A small proportion of dud cluster bombs are an acceptable risk for military movements.

And the Russian civilians are probably clueless. There was a civilian Russian video yesterday of a civilian vehicle moving over a couple of lines of mines laid across a road. And by a wrecked civvie car that had probably run across one earlier.

There was a video out earlier today of Ukrainian vehicles on a highway similarly bunched up.

Convoy discipline isnt, apparently, just a Russian problem.

It’s time to recognize the inherent rights of the Kursk People’s Republic to chart its own future - with a referendum on whether to join Ukraine. Ukraine should also offer citizenship to the residents of the Republic.

Wait till the Ghost of Kiev shows up in his F16, he will show those anti-nazis a thing or two.

That’s the plan of Schwab, Soros, and their globalist ilk: Wipe out white Christians. Inbred, low-IQ muzzies are easy to control.

The Ukrainians are going down in blaze of glory!

Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Starin' down the bullet
Let me make my final stand

Not as inept as the US troops who had to pay Taliban a ton of money and leave loads of equipment so they would allow them to run away from Kabul.

How much ground will Ukraine hold in Kursk when this is all over? NONE. ZIP. ZERO. ZILCH. NADA. All while burning off some of its best remaining troops and resources.

People that aren’t cowards would rather scorch the earth and die than surrender. Even if the fight seems hopeless you inflict as much pain on the enemy as possible and die as a warrior. Not a damn sniffling surrendermonkey watching your enemy take everything.

Your roll over defeatist attitude is why the Nazis almost conquered Europe

Ukrainian soldiers are being deceived into giving their lives for nothing. I understand some may die on scorched earth but they do so for SOMETHING. NATO just wants the war to continue until their are no Ukrainians left to fight -the territory of the Ukraine will not be preserved for her people, who are now refugees or are missing 3 generations of men who died in this war. You can call it cowardice to want a people to survive, but Darwin would disagree. You're safe at home behind your keyboard advocating for the wasting of lives for absolutely nothing.

Zelensky was supposed to care about the public and Putin’s hits on the power grid/heat/water/light was intended to drive him to negotiate for the good of his people.

Suck it up. Stop whining.

 As the Ukraine loses, you people expose yourself more - you used to hide your avarice.

You're not an altruist - you're paid to keep the grift/dying going.

“You can call it cowardice to want a people to survive, but Darwin would disagree”

We are not animals and have a higher calling than mere survival with least resistance.

Living as a slave is not life and real men cannot do it for even a moment. If my time comes to make that choice I would rather sacrifice myself and inflict maximum pain on the enemy rather than live as a slave.

To surrender I could never live with myself and there are clearly enough men in Ukraine that feel the same way. The Russians have not advanced their line beyond walking distance in several years and will eventually crack harder than they already did in Afganistan.

LIBERTY OR DEATH
