Putin disaster as 'entire Russian command obliterated' in devastating Ukraine strike
Express UK ^ | 2/8/2025 | John Varga

Ukraine is reported to have wiped out the entire command of Russia's 35th Brigade in a deadly missile strike.

The attack was carried out using HIMARS missiles on the brigade's headquarters in the eastern town of Selydove.

The town was captured by the Russians in October last year and lies just 11 miles northwest of the strategically important city of Pokrovsk.

The attack was filmed by Ukrainian drones hovering close to the building, housing the headquarters.

In a video posted to social media, a huge ball of flames rises from a building after the impact of the missiles.

Thick black smoke then billows skywards from the stricken building, where the brigade's command was reportedly billeted.

Later Russian military bloggers claimed that brigade's command had been killed in the attack.

One wrote: "Our brigade is in mourning. Our commanders have passed away. The commanders of our 35th brigade. All at once. The entire headquarters."

Russia thought the war would be over in a week. Russia is getting its ass kicked and will be forced to leave once Ukraine gives the mineral rights to Trump.

But if the MIC is all about permanent war, then why did they allow Biden to withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021?

The Trump Administration had already started the drawdown. Biden and his henchmen just screwed it all up, making it an unnecessary nightmare for many.

” If America had good leadership, we could have brought the two sides to the negotiating table”

Silliness, we planned, created and started the war. It would be rather odd for DC to rush in to stop it when we deliberately launched it.

Great thread guys... so many reports. Toresk is gone. Taken several weeks ago, but the final Uke meat wave counter attack was cleaned up 3 days ago. Aircraft operationing in close air support getting shot down makes you realize that Uke’s are losing so badly now that fighter bombers are everywhere; dropping FABs and clearing the way to encircle Kursk and the 50k ckerks and jerks being herded into Kursk as Zenlinski somehow believes he can trade 450 km in Kursk for all the Russian occupied lands.

Mark Miley’s 3 days to capture Kiev mantra so off repeated and mis-attributed to Putin; hahaha, it’ll be 3 years and 1.1m dead Uke’s to 176k dead Russians, and the final 400k Uke’s or 8 months from now and Russia will be at the gates of Kiev.
Hence, Trump’s frantic attempts to get save Biden’s face.

So, what you are saying is that during a war, people outside of the area don’t really know what is going on?

Wow. That is shocking.

But the thought of a lot of Russians being killed is still music to my ears.

Fabricating a story about a mythical Ukrainian ace fighter pilot, based on commercial game software, did not happen due to the 'fog of war', nor did Zelensky's attempts to draw the world into WWIII by lying and claiming the missile his troops fired into Poland came from Russia.

The media used to attribute stories to sources, then it was to 'whistleblowers' and later, 'persons who know' and now they are just saying 'neither RUssia nor Ukraine confirmed the story'. Soon they won't even pretend to source it because they just get paid no matter what they write.

“RE: What a stupid senseless debacle this war is.

I’ve said this from the very beginning. If America had good leadership, we could have brought the two sides to the negotiating table. A million lives would have been saved and millions more would not be displaced and families would not be grieving.”

Instead we had Mr. Magoo and his feckless sycophants.

"But the thought of a lot of Russians being killed is still music to my ears."

I guess as I've gotten older I've gotten a lot more selective about the people I would like to see extinguished.
