Two drone videos show several destroyed Russian vehicles along E40 highway In the first, a row of around ten destroyed tanks and other armoured vehicles can be seen lined bumper-to-bumper down the middle of a short stretch of road

The second shows destroyed or abandoned Russian vehicles more scattered Kyiv's forces have ambushed Russia's vast invading forces to great success Moscow has seen thousands of items of military hardware destroyed in Ukraine

The footage comes after the Kremlin pulled all of its forces out of the Kyiv region

The wreckage of an obliterated Russian convoy lying along a Ukrainian highway west of Kyiv has been captured on video by a drone, after Vladimir Putin's forces fully retreated from the region.

President Volodymyr Zelensky's forces ambushed the tanks as they travelled down the highway - a tactic Kyiv has employed to great success across the country to repel Vladimir Putin's vast numbers of slow-moving military hardware.

Two aerial videos show several rusting wreckages of the tanks and other military vehicles on the E40 highway, a main road that runs into Kyiv from the west.

The footage emerged as Russia completed the pullout of 24,000 troops from Kyiv and Chernihiv in preparation for an expected major offensive in the Donbas.

Putin's soldiers have been sent to Belarus and Russia to resupply and reorganise before the heavy onslaught in Ukraine's east,

Residents in the Donbas have been told to evacuate now ahead of the impending manoeuvre, as Zelensky warned that Moscow is now marshalling reinforcements and trying to push deeper into the country's east, where the Kremlin has said its goal is to 'liberate' the region.

'The fate of our land and of our people is being decided. We know what we are fighting for. Zelensky said

Meanwhile, British intelligence sources claimed last night Ukraine could ‘break’ the Russian army if it was given enough weapons from Western allies.

The weaponry sought by the Ukrainians has been compiled into a shopping list and submitted to allies. It is believed to include aircraft, tanks, armoured vehicles, long range artillery, anti-ship missiles and air defence systems.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba today repeated calls for NATO members to provide Kyiv with all the military equipment it needs to fight Russia, demanding ‘weapons, weapons and weapons.’

Yesterday, the Czech Republic became the first NATO member to supply tanks to Ukraine and now Britain is considering following suit.

Waiting for all the Pootie fans to tell me this was part of Putin's brilliant plan to tie down Ukraines army.

Lots fewer Russian soldiers and equipment will be making it to Donbass. Which has extensive coal deposits. Plus Pooty needs Donbass to complete his corridor from Russia to Crimea, Odessa, the Black Sea.

So Pooty Poot is making two energy grabs in this war. Oil and gas drilling in the Black Sea and Donbass coal deposits. Pooty is the least green politician on this planet. I have never heard of windmills and solar being used in Russia. Just about all Russian oil and gas is extracted in harsh semi-arctic regions. This raises the cost of extracting them and equipment maintenance. Black Sea oil and gas deposits are just off shore and from a warm region, so is a major prize.

No one’s “asking” for a bloodbath, but much of the blood that flows will be Russian. A core of generals could end this madness by ending Putin.

And all this time I thought the road to hell was filled with good intentions. Turns out it’s filled with blown up T-72’s.

Standing by for the "Ukrainian Propaganda" bleating by our resident Russians - 5, 4, 3, 2...

By the way, armored vehicles rust enthusiastically after they have burned. I used to see long rows of rusted out and ruined vehicles in the Sinai desert in the late '80s, detritus left over from the various Arab-Israeli fights - and almost always Soviet stuff.

I hope both sides lose, the globalists and the neo-Stalinists.

“Two aerial videos show several rusting wreckages ...”


The rust color is what happens to metal when it burns in intense heat.

Lord send a 10 megaton Russian hypersonic missile, a direct hit into Vlad’s Ural Mountains lair and fallout shelter. Then nuke it from orbit, just to be sure.

Painting is what George Bush does best. Which is really sad.

AS I have pointed out before...it’s got to be tough when you are fighting a war against an opponent who is armed with your own stuff, and trained by you. What ever you have, they have the exact same. Whatever tactic you have, they know it too.

I have been reading since the beginning of this family feud that the Russians are loosing. Considering the history of the means and methods used by the bear nation, people have seen nothing. Strangely, the US is the one now using proxies to get their regime change.. come hell or high water. There are no good sides on the road to the New World Order.

Now do what the small minds do best call, me a Putinista. That is the depth of the cheerleaders for the latest blood letting mentality. Ukraine has been killing each other off for the past 8+ years.. keep it up and the new world order will flood that land with refugees..
