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.

Note the “V” on the side of these vehicles. They are part of the second wave Putin ordered into battle, came in via Belarus
Boy, if THAT isn’t a target rich environment…….🍻
“Zelensky is rushing to talks with Russia in Belarus folks.”
What makes you think that Zelensky is rushing to the talks. If Putin was winning, he would not offer to talk. Looks like both sides realize that no outcome is inevitable.
A Russian T-90 and 2S3 Acacia SPG got stuck in a field near #Sumy and were abandoned by their crew. If recovered, they would be operational.
“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.”
They worked very well in 1945, also, with weaker weapons and weaker armor; the principle is just the same.
That guy has the biggest set of balls!
Really, though, as close as it is to his body, it’s not gonna matter if it’s at arms length or not if it goes off.😮
“Me, my wife, and son live in Cheboksary, RU and this isn’t a game to be laughing about! The good people of Russia don’t deserve the misery that’s being brought down on them.”
Hitler had public opinion behind him during his rise and days in power.
Little Pukin has/had public opinion behind him. No sympathy from me.
Kill EVERY invader who is on Ukrainian land!!!
Putin wouldn’t DARE play poker with Donald Trump.
She can bat her long pretty eyelashes at a Russian soldier and catch him off guard right before she blows his brains out.
I wonder if Putin's Generals are telling him that?
Ukraine says a lot, but they’re also meeting with Russia on the Belarus border, a country openly siding with Russia, not their Polish border or anywhere else, that also says a lot.
You miss the significance here. The meeting is not in Minsk. The Minsk protocols that favored Russia are gone. Putin has lost. Putin has lost Donbas. His DNR fairy tale proven false. Crimea, too. If Russians in Kharkiv don’t want to associate with Putinist Russia and it’s crazies then certainly Crimeans do not want either.
If all these reports are real, it appears that this is a major military defeat for Russia.
It’s not just a military defeat. It’s a national humiliation. Russia is literally the laughing stock of the world right now. Tomorrow the UN will pile on that with a near unanimous rejection of Putinist Russia. People love an underdog and Ukraine is punching way above its weight.
FOX Radio news claimed that Zelensky wants to meet in either Warsaw or Istanbul.
Doesn’t anyone ever go to Geneva anymore?
London or Kyiv works, too.
NO need to ping them. They know Putin has lost. Russia is the laughing stock of the world. The other table at the restaurant last night was talking randomly about the Ukrainian driver offering to tow a Russian tank video.
Putin’s republic fairy tale in Donbas has been proven false. If “Russians” in Kharkiv don’t want Putins “protection” than neither do the “Russians” in Donetsk. Putin has lost and soon Crimea will be Ukrainian land again.
Why would Putin pull out of Crimea?
I wonder if Putin’s Generals are telling him that?
They are either in line at the ATM or getting ready to be shot. Russia doesn’t seem to be doing anything tactically at the moment.
Could be...time will tell. When Russia starts to withdraw without achieving their obvious objective, I’ll agree with you...but don’t see that happening yet.
Putin isn’t going not going to have a choice on Donbas and Crimea. The people will throw him out. Would you want to be ruled by Putin’s crazies now given an option. Of course not. Nobody would. This isn’t 2014 and the world has changed.
It looks to me like Putin is about done. He wants to cut his deal with Zelensky and go home. This was a military operation not an invasion. If Putin wanted to be in Kiev his tanks would be sitting in the square. Hes been very restrained. Stop listening to the MSM.
