Those TOS-1 MLRS with thermobaric warheads (which Russia used in Syria) have reportedly moved into Ukraine toward its second largest city,Kharkiv.
The Russian assault on Kharkiv failed. They have encircled the city, and the assault forces have apparently moved on to reinforce the attack on Kiev.
Some bombardment of besieged Kharkiv has begun, including the destruction of a gas pipeline, which many residents rely on for heat during the Winter.
Some sources have reported that Russia intends to try to induce panic to drive a surrender of the city, and set an example for the rest to capitulate.
Using such weapons against civilian populations would be a clear violation of the laws of war. Violators should be hung as war criminals, including Putin, if he ordered it.
The Russians are claiming they captured an entire Ukrainian regiment near Kharkiv that was operating the Buk M-1 air defense systems, 451 soldiers (302nd Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment)
Also, the Russian Defense Minister came out and said he was given fresh orders and that the orders are to continue to attack in all directions
Aren’t all the civilians armed and fighting back against the Russians?
It is also reported that the RAF has loaded up and may have used their MAOB thermobaric bombs.
Regardless, the crowd here demands photographic evidence, else it did not happen ; most of them have no idea what it is like to be in an active war zone.
I like to ask them where are all the photos of the hundreds of murders and shootings in cities like Chicago or Baltimore. So maybe they are fake too, absent a photograph?
