The War in the Ukraine

There can be no more rules regarding Kyiv, Medvedev said

Nilou said:

I think these attacks on moscow are actually hurting a low more than Russia will admit. Russia is in a quandry. I think they need to speed up their advance. The balance is shifting against them now. The biggest sign is Lukashenko trying to make amends with Zelensky. Lukashenko knows the winds are shifting.

You're mistaken.

We all know that Kiev hit the refinery in Moscow, and of course that's a significant attack, but the media is hiding a lot.

Here is an example of Russia shooting down several drones, but this fact alone is never highlighted, while the consequences of the attacks are widely publicized in the media:

While Russia carries out dozens of attacks on various targets throughout Ukraine, the media keeps harping on the same theme, and worse, several channels share it, giving the impression that the attack was much larger than it actually was.

I understand that Russia has to be aggressive and attack vital points in Kiev and throughout Ukraine frequently, but Kiev is hit every day. While the Western Collective celebrates that a refinery was hit, Russia celebrates dozens of attacks, the elimination of Ukrainian equipment and soldiers, and the advance and capture of cities every day... in the end, who is winning? One is winning on the front lines, and the other is winning in the media.

In reality, what bothers me most is the lack of planning in Russian strategic air strikes. The systemic lack of a pattern in Russian air strikes can be perceived by an external observer, even if you only follow the news on TV.

Sometimes there are strikes in energy infrastructure ("Ukraine will freeze"), then in railway facilities, then in locomotives, then elsewhere. And then they move away from these targets. What was particularly surprising was the absence of announced systematic attacks on Kiev and the fact that someone convinced them to use the "Oreshnik" on "sheds".

But these are not individual cases or series of attacks – each campaign, seemingly aimed at achieving a specific result, is for some reason replaced by the next or dissolves into routine attacks against permanent targets.

Probably in the fifth year, with Russian attack systems, those same bridges over the Dnipro could have already been destroyed.

If anyone thinks this is "unimportant," they should study the reasons for Kherson's withdrawal and the current situation on the Novorossiya highway.

Russia spends colossal resources on attacks against Ukraine, especially considering the cost of missile weapons: high-tech missiles carrying a ton of warheads and maneuvering at enormous speeds cost far more than the Ukrainian drones that overwhelm our air defenses with numbers.

Attacks on all targets, symbolic in response – all this is wonderful and pleasing to the eyes of TV viewers and those who gave the attack order.

But the effectiveness of this remains obscure. That is, what is the ratio of rubles spent to damage inflicted on the enemy? Based on the situation in Russia's frontline regions, it is clearly insufficient, and the chosen strategy of employing long-range strike systems requires improvements and has untapped reserves.

I see the Ukraine optics tour is impacting this site as well. A wave of this crap has picked up lately all across the interwebs. On top of that you got these massive drone offensives combined with the frankly bizarre hysteria and aggression seen by the neocon and neolib factions. Even heard perfidious albion talking about providing weapons grade uranium to Ukraine. It is giving me weird vibes. As if they feel they have some Trump card or it is actually getting sorry for them and they are getting desperate. I wish I had more news sources than I have at the moment. Western media is so bad that it is nearly impossible to sift through it all. I never thought I'd see the day where the western world would fall to such propagandistic madness.

Filmklipp som visar precisionsattacker med ryska FAB-500-bomber på den tillfälliga uppställningsplatsen för Ukrainas nationalgardes 13:e brigade, belägen i en byggnad. Videon filmades i byn Slobozhanske i Charkivregionen. FAB-500-bomberna släpptes av ett Su-34-stridsbombplan. Den aktiva användningen av bomber bidrar till att minska personalförluster under attacker.

Previously the Russians were not bombing the bridges across the Dnieper River but I suspect they might if they get pushed too hard. Doing so across the entire river would literally cut Ukraine into two, and isolate the eastern half.

Today, the Russians bombed the Dnieper Hydroelectric Dam and power plant and took out the bridge across the river connecting to the city of Zaporyzhia to the west.



On top of this, the Russians are extensively bombing the gateway and industrial center of the Zaporyzhia city; the Zaporyzhia-1 railway station which is the city's logistics hub.

Gerans hit a warehouse in Zaporyzhia said to be used by the Ukrainians to store FPV drones.


Su-34 using FAB with UMPK hit a warehouse, of the Ukrainian Post Office, said to be used to store and transport FPV drones. A previous hole was made by a Geran attack. A Lancet or a Z-16 appears to be on reconnaissance to objectively assess damage and provide footage.
