No doubt there is more to come.
Oh my! Attacked with multiple weapons? That’s unexpected. Are they at war with each other or something?
Somehow, I suspect you are right.
Sort of, Putin interrupted Zelensky's Piano Concert.
>> Putin interrupted Zelensky’s Piano Concert.
That bastid! He should be ashamed. I heard that poor Ukie penist (sp?) only has one eye!
Thinking about it, I believe you are correct, ... however, I don't want to be thinking about it.
LMAO
OK you two, I’m “trying to munch on some chips :)
Not very successful. LOL
My very nice neighbors, a couple from Ukraine, have suddenly isolated themselves, haven’t left home for a couple of days. Unusual for them, they are usually in and out a few times a day.
They do have a daughter in the southern part of Ukraine, went to see her last year. Fighting seems to still be in the north.
Russia is matching the nu.ber of days and drones or Himars fired by Ukraine into Russia and towards Moscow.
On the 23d Russia took out the big aircraft factorues in Kiev seriously reducing Uke drone production.
On this the 24th, Russia has effectively absorbed a majority of Uke ADA. Not much is getting shot down today.
Ukraine managed to poke the bear, and the bear is going to really take a huge zone... ostensively to push Uke drones out of range of Moscow... but I think Putin has just removed the gloves. They are going after the Bandara boys , AZOV, & Nazis... brits, french, poles and the old Nazi’s german grandchildren fighting in Ukraine.
Ukes published 180 prisoners had been counted as executed by Rusdia, who in turn had a SF comnander announce they take Mercenary prisoners... the implication that Brit,US and French were wiped out in three engagements the oast 12 days.
Russia still needs to launch about 1800 more drones to match Zelinskis post peace talk offensive.
“Russia is matching the nu.ber of days and drones or Himars fired by Ukraine into Russia and towards Moscow.”
Bingo! They are trying to present the argument as a one-sided view that Russia is attacking the Ukraine and has no interest in peace while, hiding what the Ukraine did to prompt that attack.
So; I am suffering from Cognitive Dissonance here. Over 400,000 dead Ukrainians in this war; but, a major attack by the Russians injures 10 people. Somebody is Lying.
Target Putin
So - the Ukraine attacks deep into Russia with hundreds of drones and Russia retaliates.....and the beat goes on...
Surprise like this is in the same category, and by the same liars, as doofs who look at a winter storm and scream global warming.
Yeah, right.
It is a war. Also, that was weather.
The real kicker here... Ukraine started a drobe abd missile campaign which startsd on 5-6 May co inuing unabated until 22 May. This Zelinski attempt to borh disrupt Istanbul 2.0 and May Victory parade in Moscow.
Russia has only hit them 2 nights, and about 12 more to go. Russian did not do much to Kiev since their 30/38 pause on air operations. Nearly two months of drone and missle stocks saved up.
Russian primary drone and missile targeting js focused on Ukraine drone and missile facilities with MAJOR SUCCESS 2 days in a row.
The Russians are rumored to soon begin a summer offensive. They have 540k soldiers in Ukraine. They threatened two 100k groups to join the SMO, and then Ukraine and their EUro patrons started publishi g how Russia is on the ropes, militarily depleated, and on the verge of collaspe.... the press is sayi g Ukrainian artillery superiority is swamping Russian forces with supdrior rates of fire and number of gun tubes. Now Russia is threatening to commit 500k troops.
Russian reserves are 600k which rotate in and out of the lines; no such rest for Ukraine since March. Russia has another 350k js various stages of their 6-8 combat training, which is augmented with 30 days at the front as part of their training as units led by combat veteran NCOs and officers.
When Russia starts firing Oresnik missiles it willbe literally the beginning of the end of the Zelinski regime. The one fired in Oct 24 has inert dumb metal payloads, which some sat the metal melted at speed and descent... the real damage will be HE payloads. 6 x 6 = 36 independently targeted missile delivered bombs.
So the gloves are coming off.
