Explosions have been heard on the outskirts of the western Ukrainian city of Lviv after Russian forces launched an attack on a military base just 12 miles from the Polish border, killing at least nine people and injuring dozens more.
According to Ukrainian sources, Vladimir Putin's forces had launched a missile strike on the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security, also known as Yavoriv military complex, just before 6am this morning.
Initial reports suggested the base had been targeted by eight missiles, but Maksym Kozytskyi, Governor of the region later confirmed 30 cruise missiles had been fired, killing 35 people and injuring 134.

More fear porn? 12 miles outside NATO is not the same as 12 miles inside NATO.
The place is a hub for weapon delivery and a legitimate target.

Biden and the Poles have been playing a dangerous game...or rather, Biden has been playing a dangerous game with the Poles, with the conflicting leaked stories of the US giving fighter planes to them (or the Poles asking for them?). This will do nothing but make them targets.
Sure. If you have no soul, like Pooty-poot.
At some point Russian troops are going to start running low on ammo and weapons, they can’t replace what they are using. At that point the “turkey shoot” will shift into high gear.
More Daily Mail propaganda?:)
Propaganda at its finest…. Hit a legitimate military target, but les make the headline about a city full of refugees…
If the Russians are @ Lviv, they’re not losing.
put plutonium in his toothpaste,
—
polonium not plutonium *which would kill anyone within 600 feet at least.
“If the Russians are @ Lviv, they’re not losing.”
Russian troops are not at Lviv, the base was hit by cruise missiles.
Russians were never losing and are not going to lose, at least not a fight one on one.
UKraine can resist and even engage in asymmetrical warfare, but alone, they cannot stop Russia if Russia decides they want to take the country.
Literally a single bombing run by Russia’s TU’s can flatten any Ukrainian city.
It is beyond clear at present, that Russia is showing restraint, and trying not to just level UKraine.
Ukrainians can resist and make the victory costly, but on their own, it’s just a matter of time until the end game…
Can’t replace what they are using? Russia used to export hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition to the US until Biden banned it. Do you think that production ability just vanished last August or maybe it shifted to increased production for the Russian military? Hmmm?
I thought Pootie-poot’s forces were “bogged down” and “not advancing”?
Define “legitimate” please.
Since when is invading a sovereign country without legal cause “legitimate”?
Thanks in advance.

Russia has a big problem delivering supplies of any type at distances much beyond 60 miles forward of their closest supply depots.
According to legend, Russia invaded Eastern Ukraine in 2014. Why all the hassle now? Casus belli was the Ukrainian attempt to reclaim LDNR as they declared independence.
