Kyiv suffers night of hell as Putin launches 'record number of Iskander-M missiles' at Ukraine
Daily Mail ^ | 5/24/2025 | WILL STEWART and CIARAN FOREMAN

Kyiv endured a night of hell as Vladimir Putin unleashed new terror on the Ukrainian capital.

Apocalyptic scenes unfolded during more than seven hours of bombardment which saw missiles and drones hit until 5.10am today.

Explosions and fires broke out across the capital city - as a senior Moscow military figure and hardline politician insisted Putin's aim is to unite Russia, Ukraine and Belarus into a single state.

No “good guys” in that conflict.

Finally the truth comes out.

“Massive” attack wounds ten. Either not massive at all or successfully avoided collateral damage. Either way, not consistent with Brit rag scare headlines.

Best to always keep in mind that the Brits and France both have nuclear weapons, and only the non-proliferation treaty prevents them from shipping some to Ukraine for Ukraine to use as desired.

That treaty has an exit clause. Notification of all signatories and the UN and then a 3-month delay terminates a country’s involvement in that treaty.

The fact that England and France have not executed this clause suggests they’re not really aligned with Ukraine.

Now we know Russia has an achievable war aim.

Ukraine still does not.

Please note I didn't say either side was "the good guys".

Avoid foreign entanglements.

“as a senior Moscow military figure and hardline politician insisted Putin’s aim is to unite Russia, Ukraine and Belarus into a single state.”

OK, great. Who is this senior Moscow military figure, exactly what did he say, word for exact word, that implied this single state statement? And what day did he actually say this?

That’s the problem I have with propaganda. Comments will be made that may or may not be true, that may be taken out of context, or just simply made up.

Three years of war has shown that it is not achievable. Even if the Russians were able to take the entire country, something highly doubtful, that would not end the conflict. The Ukrainians have had the taste of freedom and will not accept Russian domination peacefully. Russia would only have won for themselves a protracted insurgency, not a united country.

Correct. Add to that, the average Ukrainians now hate Russia with a passion. They didn't deserve any of this.

Good going, Vlad and his Frussians in here.

Wait, I thought Putin died of cancer, after being humiliated by the destruction of a plane/car/boat, and Russia was on the brink because their economy tanked and inflation. News that Russia continues to fight is unpossible according to the daily Mail previous articles.

Real situation: Russia will not lose unless the West is willing to engage in WW3 and Ukraine can keep fighting until the US gives up on them and cuts the funding. In the meantime the meat grinder continues and the war pigs pad their bank accounts.

Russian came clean. Said it right there. They want Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia to be a single country. First big step to recreating the “Soviet Union”.

Well, the Uk gov’mt is knee deep in sex trafficking, especially if anyone in the DeepState or anywhere in the EU wants access to a child not imported across the Mexico border. That makes them worse.

What a great way to unite two peoples into one happy nation, bombing their cities into dust.

In Odessa the French and British are reporting a new Russian drone which is twice as big and much faster than anything previously known was used as five of them and two lancet missiles hit a French bulk carrier with 155mm, and 7 British M777s onboard destroyed. This is the second ship in two weeks, the first being a Brit bulk carrier destroyed in the harbors around Odessa.

Last month the Ukrainians reported new types of drones. All indications are that Russia has released at least six new drone types in the past month, all of which surpass anything else currently in use in Ukraine.

Russian SF are no longer taking NATO volunteers or merc’s prisioner in sector of the front as official policy; they are calling on all Russian SF to execute all merc’s who come to Ukraine to kill Russians. About a week ago this unit defeated several groups of NATO country merc’s and the only prisioners they took were Canadian in their reports; at the time I thought it strange no American or French or Brit’s were capturedd when they made up the bulk of the units.

Russia is committing up to a half million new soldiers to the fighting this summer.

Ukriane says no new talks with Russia until November, after Russia said no new talks until October. Zelinski is never to be outdone, is he? Maybe the Russians will announce they will be happy to meet in Novembrer and Zelinski still won’t negotiate.

Russia still has 4 new blastic missiles yet to be fired in Ukraine as testing and circumstances dictate. I am sure some of the city sieges are going to be shortened by the use of HE missiles in concentration on UAF positions.
