Until today, there have been no confirmed reports of Storm Shadows being deployed since November last year.

VLADIMIR Putin's officers have been killed in droves in the first British-made Storm Shadow strike in months, reports claim.

Bombshell footage showed the damage in Donetsk amid claims of “massive casualties among Russian officers” and the “crippling” of a mad Vlad fighting force.

If confirmed, it would be the first use of the British-supplied missiles in months.

Red-faced Russian authorities admitted only that a woman had died and three people were wounded, including a teenager.

A building collapsed in the combined missile and drone strikes, with fire spreading to nearby shops, according to Russian reports.

And both Russian and Ukrainian sources revealed Britain's state-of-the-art Storm Shadow missiles were involved in the major strike.

Ukrainian sources said the strike was on the Donetsk Research Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals - a military target used by Russian occupiers.

Ukrainian channel Supernova+ said the strike was on “the headquarters of the 8th combined arms army of the Russian Armed Forces”.

The report revealed: “The building is penetrated to the basement. [The dead] are being taken out in batches.”

And journalist Ivan Yakovina said: “Clear results of the recent Nato summit - cruise missiles supplied by the UK and France today destroyed the headquarters of the 8th Combined Arms Army in Donetsk and a massive depot with an oil terminal in Luhansk.

There were massive casualties among Russian officers at the HQ.

“They were confident that Ukraine no longer had the means to strike at such depth, so they didn’t even bother to go down to the shelter during the alert."

Occupied Ukraine. Where years before the Russian Invasion, ethnic Russians were being killed, shelled, and physically and culturally oppressed by their Ukrainian Government.

Which never happened.

Obviously, this neutral and factual account demonstrates Ukraine is sailing towards a victory soon and everything claiming otherwise is just Russia propaganda.

[Red6]

It didn't happen except according to Swiss and UN observers that reported on it and Congressional hearings in the US that discussed this topic and wanted to have the units involved banned from receiving any US financial and hardware assistance (long before this war ever happened), which was passed but then never really enforced.

It doesn't matter - even if presented by actual accounts of people that were on the ground (and not Russians) you'll just claim it's Russian propaganda, but when you read garbage like this article, you'll believe it whole heartedly.

You lost all objectivity a long time ago.

Fixed it.

Invading Russian forces using Ukrainian civilians as human shields.

Which never happened.

After 24 February 2022, the Donbass War in 2014-2022 was memory holed, by extensive order.

You pro-ukraine child-molesting, human trafficking, democrat money laundering, idiots should have won this war according to all your propaganda. In any other war in the history of the world all these “wins” would have won the war by now.

[nikos1121]

This war is a travesty. Hearing news from either side makes me sick. War is a waste. Putin is an idiot.

[montag813]

Sun UK has the most ridiculous headlines.

[marcusmaximus]

Col. Ruslan Goryachkin, acting commander of Russian forces in Donetsk confirmed killed in the strike.

[DownInFlames]

… and the killing just goes on. At what point does Putin say enough?

[Netz]

True or not, Soviet...oops, I mean Russian doctrine calls for the capture of territory at ANY price. The soldiers in all conflicts, since before 1905 know they are cannon fodder. Putin, like all Czars of Russia have no problem losing men and material in order to capture the objective. Remember the submarine “Kursk” sinking? NATO offered help to rescue stranded men but the Russkies took four days to find the submarine and rejected all help. Who cares? Putin, Stalin, Nicholas II? It is a long tradition of seeing the Russian man or woman as an animal.

Complete nonsense. There was no violence in Donbas until Putin’s paid gangsters and the Russian army started it in 2014.

Not my job. You go do it.

[marcusmaximus]

He’s on your side. Have a talk with him.

[pierrem15]

With 1/5 of the population of Russiastan and niggling Western military aid the Ukrainians have fought the orcs of the "2nd army of the world" to a standstill.

That's big win.

Petey's got to get the morning mugasm somehow, and mucus doesn't like to share his Special Storm Shadow Sock.
