Russia’s military has suffered a third mass casualty High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) attack in a week, according to local reports.
Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels reported Wednesday that Kyiv’s military targeted a large group of Russian servicemen with U.S.-supplied HIMARS during a military awards ceremony in the village of Yelenovka, in Ukraine’s Donetsk region.
A Russian Telegram user who claimed to be an employee of a branch of the Russian special services said that 19 Russian troops, including three officers, were killed, and a further 12 were injured in the attack. Ukraine hasn’t claimed responsibility. (excerpt)
That’s hilarious in a morbid way. Russia is not even close to losing. The war is lopsided against the Ukranians...they are no match for Russia. Best hope is for American government to quit forcing war and allow Russia and Ukraine to make peace. Which would have to includereal commitments to stop threatening Russia and for Russia to give back most of the land they’ve taken.
