Russia claimed Friday to have already destroyed four of the long-range rocket systems sent to Ukraine by the US — but Kyiv says Moscow is lying.

The Russian Defense Ministry said Friday that four US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) had been destroyed in the fighting since July 5, all in the Ukrainian province of Donetsk, part of the Donbas region that has seen the heaviest fighting of the war.

Russian Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov told reporters the four rocket launchers and one support vehicle had been taken out by “high precision weapons,” according to Russian state-run news outlet TASS.

“Their are many other reasons.”

None of them rational. All emotion.

“Those countries were only invaded and temporarily occupied as part of a war for our existence.”

Both countries remain occupied 75 years after the war is over.

"Both countries remain occupied 75 years after the war is over."

So you're saying that Germany and Japan are still occupied by the U.S.A. And anyone seeing this comment can see my previous comment that you are replying to.

Yes

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You're on the same side as Joe and Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Willard Romney and every other New World Order gangster you could name, and you are so corrupt that doesn't even bother you.

Go watch some more TV "news."

More ad hominem attacks and guilt by association. The Ukrainian people have a right of self-defense and self-determination. That fact that Soros, et alii also support them does not change this. There is simply no excuse for the Russian invasion nor any excuse for those who support it.

The Ukrainian people have a right of self-defense and self-determination.

More Liberal World Order self-serving nonsense.

They didn't get "self-determination" when Soros and Company staged a proxy-coup to remove a democratically elected President from office.

The Russian-speaking populations of Donetsk and Luhansk haven't had "self-defense" while being shelled and slaughtered for the past eight years.

Such convenient, virtue-signaling selective outrage you have.

They didn't get "self-determination" when Soros and Company staged a proxy-coup to remove a democratically elected President from office.

Yanukovych was removed by the democratically elected parliament after he left the country following a popular uprising after he had attempted to sell-out the country to the Russians. In any case, there have been two free elections since then. The excuse of a "coup" is getting old and is irrelevant to the present government in Kyiv.

The Russian-speaking populations of Donetsk and Luhansk haven't had "self-defense" while being shelled and slaughtered for the past eight years.

Oh, stop with the Russian talking points. There was shelling on both sides against military targets after the Russian invasion in 2014. Most of the civilian casualties have been caused by leftover mines, not artillery. There has been no indiscriminate slaughter of civilian populations. For one, Ukraine does not have the long-range artillery to do so even if it had wanted. You are just embarrassing yourself with these blatant attempts to justify Russian aggression.
