Ukraine Hits Russian-Held City Deep Behind Front as Talk of Counteroffensive Grows (Melitopol)

Ukraine struck a railway depot and knocked out power in the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol deep behind the front line on Wednesday amid growing talk from Kyiv of a counterassault against Russian forces worn out by a failed winter offensive.

Unverified images on the internet showed explosions lighting up the night sky with streaks of contrails in Melitopol, base of the Russian-controlled administration in Zaporizhzhia, one of five Ukrainian provinces Russia claims to have annexed.

Ukraine's exiled mayor of the city confirmed there were explosions there. Russia's state TASS news agency, citing Moscow-installed officials, said a railway depot was damaged and power knocked out to the city and nearby villages.

Melitopol, with a pre-war population of around 150,000, is a railway logisitics hub for Russian forces in southern Ukraine and part of the land bridge linking Russia to the occupied Crimea peninsula.

Most UKE Alpha men will die before this ends. In 2 generations UKE Alpha male DNA will dilute, UKE will become predominately effeminate men.

This is what happened in Germany following WW2. Today German men stand down or phone record immigrants molesting, raping and trafficking their women.

Melitopol is between the Kakhovka reservoir of the Dnipro river to the north, and the Molochnyi estuary to the south. Retaking Melitopol would split the Russian occupation in half.

That is not likely as it is so obvious. The catch is, Russia has not won and Ukraine has not lost, so anything could happen.

Another railroad was hit in Crimea a few days ago. Seems to be a strategic campaign afoot here.

Watch the weather - no offensive until good weather and dry ground.

What “happened”, FRiend, is that Ukraine is still Ukraine. Russia’s fake and Potemkin army does all it can: murder, destroy and steal. It’s a buffoonery and a fool’s errand thinking KGB Putin can win for MAGA. He’s seeks our destruction every bit as much as his America hating partners in the Democrat party.
