Ukrainian forces hit a Russian military logistics base with over 30 strikes in the Russian-occupied southern city of Melitopol on Sunday, the city's exiled mayor said. A Russian-installed official confirmed that strikes had hit the city.
"At 3 o'clock (0000 GMT) and 5 o'clock (0200 GMT), there were over 30 strikes on a single military base," Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov, who is currently on Ukraine-controlled territory, said on Telegram.
The military aerial logistics base has been "taken out of action" and other resistance activity caused a Russian armoured train carrying ammunition to derail on Saturday near Melitopol, Fedorov said.

Russia’s RIA news agency reported that Ukraine had hit the Aviamistechko area of Melitopol where the city’s airport is located, but did not specify what had been hit.
RIA cited local Russian-appointed official Vladimir Rogov as saying that around 16-18 Ukrainian MLRS rockets had hit Melitopol in two strikes at 0300 and 0445 Moscow time (1200 GMT and 0145 GMT).

So why are FReepers supporting Putin and his invasion? The problems in the USA have nothing to do with Ukraine, but making sure Russia gets defeated there will protect us from a larger war in Europe.
Trying to blame Ukraine for the problems we have here that are created by corrupt Democrats doesn't make sense. Cheering for the Russians makes even less sense.
Armored train was hit as well as a railway bridge that was a key Russian resupply route to Kherson. Perfect timing to cut off the cannon fodder reinforcements being sent to try to save Kherson for Putin.
Today after the Melitopol hit, Russian aligned troops are panicking and moving into Kherson city from the outskirts and Ukraine continues to advance.
Putin was really stupid by putting Buryats, Dagestanis, Chechens, DPR conscripts and Syrians in charge of defending Kherson. Did he really think they care about his twisted ambitions?
Try making sense the next time you post.
Nice shooting by the Ukies, btw! F@%K ’em up and kick ‘em out!
Your posting that suggests supporting Ukraine is wrong because George Soros supports Ukraine is just plain dumb.
I am sorry you can't understand such a simple concept, that's sad.
We've saved Europe twice from wars in their backyard so maybe you can tell me why NATO nations have steadfastly refused to pay for their own defense?
General Patton was a “globohomo” and Soros-lover according to the Putinistas.
My position on Ukraine is pretty simple. Not our circus, not our monkeys. I’d rather see our troops on our border not Russia’s. You can join Ukraine’s foreign fighters if you feel the need.
I thought this is the group the Russians refused entry to Russia and they got trapped in Ukraine without support, thought this was just a mop-up operation.
Ukraine killed another Russian general in the Melitopol strike.
Also, Putin’s general in temporarily occupied Nova Kakhovka near Kherson just went radio silent because he knows he’s screwed.
Ukraine’s drive right now on Nova Kakhovka to take back the Kherson region is brilliant. Just freaking awesome. Enjoy the show!
Unfortunately, I think you are right. We are being played for chumps and used as a resource for their wealth. The world is shifting beneath our feet. The US control (military and financial) of the world we be lost in less than 4 years of BiteMe
I actually agree with most of your assessment, and it looks bad. But why dwell in being a doomist and fatalist? Instead you can cheer for the anti-Vlad forces, who are the Ukrainians. NYRK!
Sez it all!! I am Ukie all the way. It sucks that I have to align with Biden and the kinda pansies of the EU, but this is just the way it is.
:)
Great General Patton lines there, about the Russians, that I was not aware of. He read his history books. My father was a diesel mechanic under General Patton as he swept through France. My father kept the diesel locomotives running. Patton’s train supply lines, to keep his - Allies battles victorious.
Amazing!
Your question has nothing to do with the situation in Ukraine, but the answer is simple, none of the Democrats or Republicans before Trump insisted that they pay their share. Why would some European government pay if they didn't have to?
