KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Russia launched an intense series of night-time air attacks sending drones and missiles toward places across Ukraine, and targeting the southern port city of Odesa for a second night in a row, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Russian emergency officials in Crimea said that over 2,200 people were evacuated from four villages because of a fire at a military facility. The fire also caused the closure of an important highway, according to Sergey Aksyonov, the Russia-appointed head of the region, which was annexed in 2014.

He did not specific a cause for the fire at the facility in Kirovsky district, which came two days after an attack on a bridge linking Russia to the peninsula that the Kremlin has blamed on Ukraine.

Russia keeps launching cruise missiles at civilian areas, most of them get shot down. A few get through the defenses, killing civilians and damaging infrastructure. Last night Ukraine reported 14 Russian cruise missiles and 23 Iranian drones were shot down.

Russia is not "ramping up the war", they're just fighting as poorly as they did in the beginning.

Everyone except the Russians have forgotten the old Mongol tactic-lead the invating enemy deep into your vast territory and then pick him off slowly and starve him until he can barely make it home again.

Ukrainians would rather die than be a vasal to evil putin/russia
———-
Is that why the current demographics show 18 million plus have fled the country?

“ Defiance “ to the last man is a great Hollywood theme, but in reality insures total defeat. The Ukies are spent, a total welfare nation…. No future.

One thing that I mentioned is that the clowns who say how the Russians are going all wrong never say how to do right.

“ Get Ukraine EVERYTHING they need to defeat evil putin/russia!”

Absolutely not - because what they need are US land forces.

*******
Ideology, not sovereignty, is the key. An intervention MIGHT be justified if Putin was Marxist/LGBT and Zelensky was acting like Trump; but the international left would then be supporting Putin.

russia cannot compete in the long term against US and European production.

Sure, Brandon.

Let's see what other lies we've heard from you and your like-minded friends......

-Russia running out of missiles
-Putin dying from cancer
-All Russian soldiers go AWOL
-Russia losing a general a week
-Ukraine destroys 30 out of 20 missiles fired

So Russia controls 20% of former Ukraine and has captured the major cities of Bakhmut & Mariupol, all while suffering from these maladies and fighting the best the US and NATO can muster.

WOW! Just imagine how the Ruskies could perform without all this drama and these tragedies!

We get it!

I agree no US forces at all. However, I do not agree that that is what they need.

Get them everything they need to defeat and oust putin/russia from Ukraine themselves.

Ukraine needs a new weapon to fight RuZZia. I propose the Dollar Gun. It shoots shells filled with American dollar bills that carpet the battlefield with Money. Russians see this—leave their foxhole to pick up the free money and can be shot! Whole cities can be covered with cash and the Rizzians leave their lines to pick up cash! Next we shot Levi Bombs will fill the battlefield with treasured levi pants. American Money will will the war for Freedom.
