Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu today gave the order to dramatically increase so-called shock and awe attacks on Ukraine.
He claimed Kremlin forces must 'exclude the possibility of the Kyiv regime inflicting massive rocket and artillery strikes on civilian infrastructure and residents of the Donbas and other regions,' according to reports in Moscow.
It followed an on-the-ground inspection by Putin's trusty defence minister - and a National Security Council meeting led by Vladimir Putin.
Shoigu 'gave instructions to further increase the actions of [military] groups in all operational areas', local reports stated.

There are relatively few bridges across the Dneiper between Kherson and Kyiv.
It seems odd that they are still standing?
“Shock and awe”??
In a conflict that has been going on since Feb.??
Kherson and Kiev are on the same side of the Dnieper. You don’t need to cross the river to travel from Kherson to Kiev.
If Russia pulls this stunt they will harden the resistance and achieve almost nothing!
Putin is calling up Hippies now ?
Remember; The same people who gave us COVID masks, experimental vaccines and transsexual celebrations are now tinkering with nuclear war.
Wait he stole that from George Bush , LOL
And while marcusmaxipad barks out corporate media talking points the Russians advance ever westward. Where is the “Ghost of Kiev” when you need him?
Tell Putin to leave Ukraine and go home.
While your posting pictures, Ukraine is getting lit up from Kharkiv to Odessa.
Why does Zelensky care? When its all said and done and the Ukraine has lost it all, Kelensky will be sitting off the coast of Monaco in his stolen Russian yacht sold to him by the US for a dollar.
——civilian infrastructure and residents ——
Aaahhh....... this is a defensive preparation for counter acting the massive efforts in progress to create a list of Russian war crimes in Ukraine. That would be destruction of nonmilitary targets.
The problem here is that the HIMARS targets taken out are actually all of a military nature. Ammo dumps/ware houses seem to be the primary targets. In at least one instance, an adjacent command HQ and personnel including a general and staff colonels was destroyed.
Shock and awe in Ukraine will be interpreted as de facto war crime
Everything that Russia does to Ukraine is an atrocity. Everything Ukraine does by way of response is legitimate self-defense.
