On Monday, Russia launched one of its heaviest missile and drone barrages across Ukraine in an attack seen as retaliation for the Ukrainian invasion of Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
According to Ukrainian officials, over 100 Russian missiles and drones were fired at 15 Ukrainian regions, an area that makes up more than half of the country. The Russian Defense Ministry said it was targeting energy infrastructure that supported the Ukrainian military.
“This morning, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a massive strike by airborne and sea-launched long-range precision weapons and attack unmanned aerial vehicles at critical energy infrastructure of the Ukrainian military-industrial sector. All the designated targets were destroyed,” the ministry said in a statement, according to TASS.
Four people were reported killed in the attacks, and more than a dozen were injured. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal called the Russians “terrorists” and urged Kyiv’s Western backers to allow the use of long-range NATO missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia.
“In order to stop the barbaric shelling of Ukrainian cities, it is necessary to destroy the place from which the Russian missiles are launched,” Shmyhal said. “We count on the support of our allies and will definitely make Russia pay.”
Also on Monday, Ukraine launched drone attacks against seven Russian regions. The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 20 Ukrainian drones. “On-duty air defenses intercepted and destroyed 20 fixed-wing drones. Nine of them were shot down over the Saratov Region, two over each of the Belgorod, Bryansk and Tula Regions, as well as one over each over the Oryol and Ryazan Regions,” the ministry said.
The governor of Saratov said drone debris hit residential buildings, wounding at least four people. Ukraine has stepped up its drone attacks inside Russia as it’s pushing hard for the US and NATO to lift restrictions on the use of Western missiles.
Ukraine has been using US-provided weapons in its attack on Kursk, which marks a significant escalation of the proxy war. The US says it won’t allow long-range strikes with US missiles, but Ukrainian officials believe that policy could change.
At least, Ukraine has no volcanos. They predict something quite awful is about to happen in Italy. If their prediction is correct, soon we will forget about all other news.
I sense serious irony in your post Mikhailovich!…
(I'm not sure he was being ironic. I think he believes that.)
He's not necessarily wrong for once.
By his calendar, Krakatoa erupted in 1961.
If Campi Flegrei goes off then Italy can mask invading greece or albania again
and failing again because thats a good meme even in Ukraine
Putin's patience has ended. The war could have ended in 2022, but that result was thrown aside by the U.S. and the U.K.
This war is not ending. NATO will soon enter this war along with China.
That is possible but I hope not…
DOWN VOTERS:
Do say why!!!
Neither NATO nor China are about or even remotely close to entering the war. China is not even supplying more than what they can hide.
NATO have been bending over backwards to avoid getting directly involved. Not using the incursion of Russian missiles to escalate and not slow walking allowing their weapons getting used in Russia.
If you can find any example of NATO trying to get directly involved please site it – if they wanted it they have had so many options to do so and each has been denied.
Getting directly involved is about the only way NATO could lose on/in this war.
Yes. Putin's patience has ended! He will now try to dislodge Ukraine from Russian territory! I swear he will!
Yeah! The war could have ended in 2022, but Putin didn't take Kyiv !!
It could have been avoided. Russia put forth demands and a direction for peace December, 2021. Then Boris was dispatched to stop negotiations in 2022. Then we stepped in to stop negotiations a second time (verified by the Israeli diplomat that monitored the negotiations, saying flat out that we scuttled the talks. Our fearless leaders in D.C. wanted this war. Well, they got their war.
Food for thought…
This is food for barfing
I bet he's never talked to a Ukrainian in his life
and i don't count
Sure, but he will keep most of eastern Ukraine and potentially include Odesa. Kursk will come back, eventually as well.
Keep in mind, BoJo kinda helped derail things as directed by his commanders in the Empire.
why do you guys keep mentioning odesa? Odesa is 150 miles away from the front?
And that includes across the flooded Dnieper river
and then through kherson
then finally after some more fields and 1 more river
you find Odésa
Odesa will most likely be 'found'.
ok lil bro
It has those Steps !
And I think the 'Odyssey' took place there.
Because Russia may decide to take all of the Black Sea coast, and because the city of Odesa is more Russian than Ukrainian, ethnically.

This is for you english speakers
Well then, all the more reason for Russia to take it, as at the war's endpoint Ukraine will certainly be a dysfunctional rump state without an economy. Why would that Ukraine need a seaport? It would be silly, like an easter bonnet on a pig.
you are delusional
The European Union Welfare State of Aryan West Ukraine.
Russia decided to take Donetsk 30 months ago and still hasn’t managed it.
Patience, Cricket, patience.
Patience my ass
I'll die in a airstrike before Russia takes KharkIv
Funny
no odesa isl ike 70 percent ukrainian and 29 percent russian and the rest is bulgarian or jewish
Some people in this comment section believe that the only reason Russian tanks aren’t at the Ukraine/Poland border yet is because Putin and friends have just been f*cking around for the last 30 months and not really trying.
Yeah that seems accurate
he hasn’t been trying for 30 months, but 30 months? that was just the WARM UP
Because Odessa, just like Ukraine, belongs to Russia.
That simple my friend.
Ok Stalin
“theorem of the pile of shιt”.
It goes like this:
– he throws some bullshιt at you, it takes 10 seconds for him to do it.
– you dig it up, it takes you 10 minutes!
– he do it again, on another subject, for him it’s still 10 seconds.
– you dig it up again, it takes you even more than 10 minutes. etc etc
Creating shιt is faster than digging it up, you can’t win.
It works the best for the conspiration theorist. Take the chemtrails, you need a meteorologist and an engineer and maybe even a pilot for fully debunking a random guy.
But even the alt right can use it, combine it with the “whatabout argument” and you can generate tons of shιt easily
это правда !
Putin didn’t want to take kyiv but now he will.
Time to switch sides and be on the right side of history
you are the most pro war tankie on this site and i hate it
i will argue with you until we both die
or i die in a strike caused by Putin’s fascotards.
One thing, I am not ready for is another World War!!!
It could well be our last, simply put, it could be the End of All of Us!!!
Ready or not, it's already here. Do you think this is going to turn around and we'll be friends again with Russia and China?
Maybe?….!
The irony is Russia and China have the expertise and equipment to our astronauts back home. Our country is full of dummies imitating leaders. Just appalling. Also deadly.
Cynical, a bit?…..;-)
I do hope those of the various Space Agencies and aboard the ISS look at each other, shrug, and say "Our leaders are f**king idiots. C'mon, let's get some Science done together !"
As India, minding its own business, now has a functioning rover on the Moon…!
Lol I don't think Russia or china are reliable in that field
At least India has good promise in the future…
Your country is full of dummies.
True statement. And that’s why Russia will win.
Ok Stalin
Have fun spewing your poop
By the way, are you socialist?
Dood aan de fascisten!!
Dood aan Poetin!!
Ok Stalin

By the way, are you socialist?
Dood aan de fascisten!!
Dood aan Poetin!!
Yes, because I would want to live in a country (russia) where beating your wife is legal.
No
Zolang als Rusland is in bestaat, zal géén westers land een bondgenot van Rusland of China
Dood aan Poetin
Dood aan de fascisten!
I can speak Dutch
I am inclined to think, if it happens, it will be the end of most of us but not of all of us. There are a lot of well protected bunkers in the world with plenty of everything what one may need for survival.
They were destroying all the incoming dumb Russian missiles until they felt sorry for them, so they let some pass through. …Yeah. They ran out of washing machine chips and Russian shovels, so they are using dumb Russian chips held together with snot. …Yeah. …Russian snot. It's sticky and nasty. …That's because they ran out of solder.
huhhhhhhhhhhh
It's just blah, blah, blah out of you. when was the last time you said something profound — or even somewhat accurate?
That is a tad hasty RT and I do respect you but NA is a bit cynical, I believe….
Donna, my darling. Maybe a little hasty on my end. Can you give me a Mulligan?
Lol…;-}
Why respect him ? He's an obnoxious racist hack wishing he was a fraction as smart or awesome as Critical Thinker.
Dude! I destroyed my toilet with one bowel movement just a few minutes ago.
Gosh darn
OK. THAT was funny (and kinda profound!).
"The US says it won’t allow long-range strikes with US missiles…" Yeah, I believe you. The Ukrainians are attacking Russian airfields more than 500 miles away using their "Ukrainian made precision missiles." Wink, wink.
Dangerous time when a senile angry old man is in charge of the nuclear football.
It's a lot worse than that. If you saw those $1M sky boxes, or heard Chris Cuomo's diatribe, at the Dem Nat'l Convention. Corporate Global Capitalism, K. St., is the real power; and the archetype of narrow-minded tunnel vision is the Big Bourgeois. The ways & means of greed, of getting & keeping, is his all-consuming obsession, body and soul, -no beauty, truth, goodness, no history, religion, poetry, …, the end of power is acquisitveness, and the planet and its population, a resource to be exploited. This elite (the Davos crowd), the Empire of Western style Global Capitalism finds itself under what it perceives an existential threat from an ever expanding multi-polarity. So they will stop at nothing, … without a second thought. And even should we get past this, they've already degraded the environment into a terminally vicious circle for human habitation.
Kamala has two video clips where she blamed Covid for the death of 220 million Americans. That's worse than my math. They're without a first or a second thoughts.
Hahahah lol
I thought she was unburdened by what has been so she can imagine what can be…you know?
And now she is blaming things from the past?
I dunno, sounds pretty burdened to me. M'kay?
The figure I’ve read is 20M globally. And I certainly think those responsible (Trump had no part in it), the military, the pols, the scientists and their backers (e.g., Fauci), for this gain-of-function research on a deadly virus need to be prosecuted. World history has never witnessed so enormous a crime; … while the silence has become deafening.
Yes; overall fatality rate sits below 2% overall. Likely to be revised downward when defensive politics eventually give way to neutral and insightful research into who died From the illness and not With it.
Branch Covidian cultists were estimating 51 billion dead of COVID; but revised their estimates when the Delta and Omicron variants were giant Nothings. Still the Deadliest Disease In Human History, according to them. Thank Pharma for saving hundreds of billions of people.
Did you mean to say 35 trillion? That number has a ring to it.
This script for this was written centuries ago and is the foundation of what keeps the Empire & the elite in power & control.
In modern times, 1984 explains this quite well. And, as I see irony mentioned in several posts, truth is actually stranger than fiction. I just wish Orwell was still alive so he could at least revise his works to include an extended Prologue to reflect on the current & disgusting state of our planet as well as being able to tell everyone, "I told you so, so suck it!"
And, as a continuation to my first paragraph, I conclude with this famous quote, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority."
A tad profound …
Agreed, it was/is structurally over-determined. The illusion of “progress” gave it space & time; but, now that illusion has been exploded by the ecological collapse. And if we don’t mature into a communist paradigm real quick, bomb or no bomb, it’s over for the species.
Henry Kissinger, where are you now that we, alas, need you?

Russia needs to stop and leave our Ukraine
And Ukraine has to get out of bed with the US.
Please repeat that more often.
We may let Ukraine keep a bit more than just Lviv if they surrender and promise to stay neutral.
Zelensky is a fool, thinking that Russia was not going to defend itself. How many times did Russia request talks to stop the fighting and what was the response? NO! Zelensky can do nothing without NATO, USA, EU, who are the ones funding and fighting this war and the World knows it. Does Zelensky think about his people who are still in Ukraine? Does he think about their suffering now, with the worse to come? Zelensky has the mindset of Netanyahu, two Zionist who have a God Complex, even though they are Demons.
I agree with your points, but have to add that I respect Netanyahu for his credentials and the fact that he is one crazy motherf*cker who is merciless. Actually, very similar to Putin.
Zelensky is just a f*cking moron. Sniff, sniff……
A bit harsh but yet funny, for the moment….
I should say, “demon” is a bit harsh…
People are a bit lost, now and then… But no one is forgotten.
