KYIV (Reuters) -Russia said on Saturday its forces would step up military operations in Ukraine in "all operational areas" as Moscow's rockets and missiles pounded cities in strikes that Kyiv says have killed dozens in recent days.

Rockets hit the northeastern town of Chuhuiv in Kharkiv region overnight, killing three people including a 70-year-old woman and wounding three others, regional governor Oleh Synehubov said.

"Three people lost their lives, why? What for? Because Putin went mad?" said Raisa Shapoval, 83, a distraught resident sitting in the ruins of her home.

To the south, more than 50 Russian Grad rockets pounded the city of Nikopol, on the Dnipro River, killing two people who were found in the rubble, the region's governor Valentyn Reznichenko said.

Ukraine says at least 40 people have been killed in such attacks on urban areas in the last three days. Russia says it has been hitting military targets.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered military units to intensify their operations to prevent Ukrainian strikes on eastern Ukraine and other areas held by Russia, where he said Kyiv could hit civilian infrastructure or residents.

Ukraine says they are going to raise a million man army to take back Kherson, and Russia says they are going to increase operations on all fronts.

We're about to see, for those who are blind, who exactly is full of sh!t.

Yep, it sounds as if Russia is ready to actually start fighting. The rest of the ‘war’ should conclude quickly.

The ZSU already has 750,000 under arms.

Ukraine should trade those yellow and blue flags in for those white French surrender flags and return our billions.

“The ZSU already has 750,000 under arms.”

Then taking Kherson should be a walk in the park.

The Russian Duma today instituted laws that effectively nationalized the defense industry. Employees are forced to work overtime and on demand as required. The problem is that some weapons require imports that are no longer available

Russian wages have declined and inflation is continuing to rise. The Russian economy is in dire straits and will only worsen.

Russia is being contained from Japan to Israel, to Turkey, to Finland and Norway. The UK air forces have contained Russian air. The world has surrounded Russia

In effect, although some battles may be won, Russia is lost.

Why?

American rockets are currently raising hell and destruction with very selective important Russian targets. Many nations are currently containing Russian activity all over the world.

Unless and until Russia can cut off the head of the Ukrainian snake, knocking down apartment buildings in Kiev isn’t going to make any difference. For a nation purported to be good in murdering opponents, it’s a surprise they didn’t neutralize Zelensky before they tried to invade back in February.

Their stated objective is the demilitarization of Ukraine.

That means killing Ukrainian soldiers wherever they are.

Including where they hide in schools, hospitals and apartment buildings.

Russia will continue murdering women and children, with support from certain Americans.

"The ZSU already has 750,000 under arms."

I wonder how many of that number are female draftees?

I'm afraid the bullsh!t-master revealed himself a long time ago. His days are numbered, thank goodness.
