Putin wants to break Ukraine, while its Western partners are withholding crucial help from it
Since the Russian military can’t, for the life of them, figure out how to hit military targets, they just bomb cities like the terrorists they are.
This might be even more massive attack than the last one just a few days ago? From what I am seeing being posted, only Kyiv was hit with like 30 missiles…
They are not even hiding the fact they are targeting civilians. The attack in my district resulted in no electricity heat or water for regular people, including no heating in schools kindergartens etc. That is not striking military targets as russia claims. I’m hoping our military has an answer for this incoming in the next day or two.
All these attacks lately should really encourage to send the aid needed fast. Since New Year’s Eve they have been consistently bombarding Ukraine
The EU, UK and US need to provide more aid for Ukraine’s defense. There should be consequences of Russia’s attack.
It seems like this is their respond to belgorod
I hope 2024 is the year of more support for Ukraine, not less.
Two years of war is ridiculously long to still not give Ukraine even better equipment. Just outmatching Russia’s materiel is not enough, give Ukraine the tools to attack, not just defend.
This is Europe’s war.
#An attack which employed 170 drones, cruise & ballistic missiles against civilian targets in a European country…
Where is the outrage from Western media and leaders? Why are our institutions largely silent on this? This is appalling, we can and should do more. This is a repeat of the destruction of the Khakovka dam and the squeak of protest from the West that emboldens further Russian aggression. When will we equip Ukraine to win and why does the media refuse to maintain adequate coverage of this war while our politicians seem blind to the evidenced public sentiment behind supporting Ukraine.
Western Europe: But why won’t the Americans do more? We can’t possibly give up our luxurious way of life to protect ourselves.
If you ever think that these missiles were targeted at military infrastructure, look at the city of Kharkiv. We too have been shelled almost daily for the past several days, but since it’s impossible to deploy and use AA for S-300 rockets with such a short travel time (usually the time between the launch from Belgorod and the hit in Kharkiv is less than a minute), practically all missiles hit the ground wherever they were targeted at, and its mostly residential buildings, hotel, cafe, etc. It’s a deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure and in Kyiv there would be the same type of direct hits with much worse effects compared to the rockets detoured and damaged by AA.
It’s understandable why most foreign media resources and reddit only report and keep track of attacks on Kyiv, but remember there are other cities (Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, lots of smaller villages and cities) also suffering from constant terror and it’s not aftermath from AA.
The west needs to give Ukraine the means to hit the airfields in Russia that these planes are based at. Fuck “escalation,” Russia is conducting a campaign of terror and extermination in Ukraine and they won’t stop unless they’re punched square in the jaw and beaten into submission.
Russia is a terrorist state.
Fuck putler
According to ISW Russians have been adapting and improving their air warfare.
They are both more effective at poking through Ukrainian air defenses holes and at avoiding it (e.g. they learned to lower the radar profile of drones by painting them in radar reflecting black coating and carbon fiber).
Another alleged goal of these strikes is to force Ukrainians to spread their air defenses around the country so they can’t move those to the front thus poking holes in front line defense.
This may start a new difficult phase for Ukrainian defense where they will too have to adapt to this new reality.
Ukraine needs all the support we can give both as citizens by pressuring politicians and sending private donations.
Ukraine also needs to ramp up their conscriptions which have been very low in the latest months, including lowering the age of conscripts.
Blitzkrieg the shit out of russia coming spring from all sides and be done with these assholes. IDK why we can’t see that they are doing war-crimes and should be punished accordingly.
They’re hitting a lot of energy and industrial infrastructure. We don’t have any information on what the AD inventory for Ukraine looks like, but it can’t be good.
Boy those sanctions are really showing them!
The article is oddly completely silent on what was actually targeted. The only affected areas the article mentions are the areas which were affected by debris of missiles / drones hit by Ukrainian AAs.
