Ukraine says it destroyed Russian military convoy outside of Kyiv
Times of Israel ^ | 2/27/2022 | JOSHUA DAVIDOVICH

Ukraine says it has managed to destroy a column of Russian armored vehicles in the city of Bucha, just outside of Kyiv.

“On the approaches to Kyiv, in the town of Bucha, more than 100 units of enemy equipment were destroyed,” a Ukrainian government account posts on Telegram, along with videos of burning or charred tanks and other armored vehicles.

Regional officials earlier reported buildings and houses on fire in the town, which lies between the key airfield of Gostomel and Kyiv.

Elsewhere, a local journalist reports what he says is a video of two Russian helicopters being shot down.

If all these reports are real, it appears that this is a major military defeat for Russia.

If true, Putin will agree to a cease fire in the next 72 hours while he'll still get "favorable terms". After that, the reaction he'll get from the Ukrainians would be "nuts".

As the costs and casualties increase and Ukraine continues to fight hard and remain unconquered, Putin is losing the support of the Russian people and within the political establishment of Russia. IMHO Putin will be deposed within months. Comrade Xi is taking close notice. Taiwan owes Ukraine a huge debt.

“Looks like some A-10s went off on them. That was more than a Javelin attack??”

Indeed. That suburban street looks like it was complete hell for a time.

I assume some of those destroyed vehicles are from the Ukrainian side and a major battle was fought there.

“Huge queues gather in front of ATMs in Moscow and other Russian cities.”

If they’re in line, that means the ATMs are still working.

The Moscow bank run: a queue for a Tinkoff ATM in the Liga shopping center in Khimki. There are about 70 people in line. Eyewitnesses say the money in the ATM runs out within 40 minutes.

мир is not in the Russian vocabulary.


мир (mir) has a double meaning: in context ‘peace’ or ‘world’.

Todays shoulder fired anti armor weapons are very powerful, easy to use, and difficult to detect. When camouflaged, you won’t see these troops until it’s late.

The first guy they are looking at seems to be wearing a Ukraine uniform.


Uniform worn and language spoken are not an indication of which side a soldier is on in the Ukraine presently.

...for the first few in line, the remainder are hoping and praying that the ATMs don’t run out of cash before they get there....or get disabled under orders by bank IT.

Annoyance. Puerto Rico survived 2 years without ATMS...because they had no power.

Russia does not have total air superiority in Ukraine. They did in Syria

The rebels in Syria had no air force to contest them.

LOL. Are you from Kazan, Russia? It won’t be long until oil rich areas of Russia start making noise about independence. Guaranteed. Putin has stupidly launched forces here he can not control.
