Russian Armed Forces deliver massive strike on strategic targets across Ukraine

Russia launched a barrage of missiles and drones targeting energy and military-industrial facilities across Ukraine in the early hours of May 8.

The strikes reportedly targeted five Ukrainian regions – Poltava, Kirovograd, Lvov, Ivano-Frankovsk, and Vinnitsa – as well as part of the Zaporozhye region currently under the Kiev regime’s control. Air defense systems were also operating in Kiev and the capital’s environs.

Russian air assets are attacking across the entirety of Ukraine with impunity. This is where Germany was in the spring of ‘45. On the battle lines the Russian mass forces causing the Ukes to concentrate reserves opposite them. With the Ukes concentrated, the Russians maul them with artillery, FABs, drones and assorted missiles. Once the summer offensive starts, the collapse will happen within sixty days.

Surely Ukraine must be a smoking hole by now..................

There are two truths here. First, the collapse of Ukraine is inevitable forcing them to the table to negotiate. Second is that you are still a tool.

Kyiv in 3 days!

I believe you have to go back into ancient history for an example of a military debacle this bad.The example I suggest would be the HMFIC of Tangut calling Genghis Khan a plastic man and the fallout from that.

They are probably running out of targets to hit. Any weapons-related factory has likely been it hit long ago. Any power plants they intended to hit have been destroyed long ago

Now its likely a case of playing whack-a-mole with hidden arms depots, heretofore undetected air-defense sites, and small drone factories.

Similar to the US/NATO in Serbia. Bridges and government buildings that were deemed insignificant at the start were later bombed because there was literally nothing else to hit, and political and PR demands required that the bombing continue no matter what it was

Did the Ruzzians say how many strategic hospitals, apartments, and orphanages they destroyed?

Putin may brag that he has won. But when he looks around he will have to contemplate just what has he won? Many Russians as well as Ukrainians, the best of a generation are maimed or dead, he has shown the world his conventional forces are an outdated paper tiger, what is left of Ukraine will hate Russia passionately and he now has to worry that China will one day soon will try to seize its rich Far Eastern Pacific possessions and the treasure house of Siberia.

It is a smoking hole. Have you been watching the videos? The Ukrainians are being pounded into submission all along the front lines. There’s nothing left standing when the Russians finally move into a town or city. The last video I watched showed over a dozen dead Ukrainians left behind by their brothers in arms. It was sad to see that. Another recent video showed a squad of Ukrainian soldiers that was made up of mostly women. I don’t know how much of their military is made up of women but these were front line troops, not support troops operating in the rear

A tool bringing truth to a dishonest propaganda filled conflict that didn't need to be provoked into happening to begin with. But that is not what the Deep State wanted. They wanted a proxy war with Russia, and they intentionally are keeping it going to bolster Joseph Robinette Biden for his reelection.

This is not about saving "Democracy" in Ukraine. You can't save what never was to begin with. Furthermore though, they do not care about Ukrainians as peoples. They are expendable, just as we are, and you would know this if you paid actual attention.

“Did the Ruzzians say how many strategic hospitals, apartments, and orphanages they destroyed?”

This is the kind of comment that tells you someone knows their side is losing. I don’t have a side, I just want it to end.

[jerod]

Sputnik... A very reliable news oranization.

[MinorityRepublican]

I predict that the war will end in 2025. Russia gets to hold on to the occupied territories of Ukraine but NATO troops will arrive in Kyiv to make sure that Zelensky government does not fall.

[Deo volente]

I guess we’d better send another $60 billion over there, pronto. That should take care of it. Stand with Ukraine!

[devere]

Is this propaganda straight from the Kremlin?

[PIF]

I don’t have a side, I just want it to end.

Kyiv in 3 days!

Is that you General Milley?

[Jumper]

Russia does not recognize Zelinski after 21 May, and rumors out if DC are his replacement is being selected. The Ukrainians know this war will last until Zelinski is removed, hence the attempt to kill him by his staff officers.

Only the Furher himself sees victory. Z-man the visionary wirh 4 new homes.

Is August 2021 ancient history?

All this goes down exactly one day after the day Steven Seagal visits with Vladimir Putin to celebrate Russian culture and his friendship with Putin. Seagal claims Russian citizenship. Remember the old days when prominent people in all walks of U.S. life would work undercover for the CIA? It was kind of expected of them. Hmm.
