Ukraine, Russia, and the West

I can hear jets on the live stream from Kyiv, that and the wind are the only sounds. It’s so creepy.

Mostly missiles, but the one explosion was huge and Ukraine is claiming that it did take down an aircraft.

ukraine reports russian loses
7 planes
6 helicopters
more than 30 tanks
130 armored vehicles

losses of about 800 soldiers

damage on the ground and potentially a part of the object.

That would be Red Dawn

today in UA (tomorrow in us) is going to be absolutely insane. expect a lot of bombings.

putin hasn’t gone on tv again yet. hard to imagine what he’s going to say, but i am sure he was hoping to announce some sort of victory. but the longer he waits to talk, the worse it looks domestically.

затруднительное положение

Surely our $800 billion a year produces some pretty damn good air defenses we can supply?

Can you stop confidently posting this stuff? Its absolutely not missiles being intercepted, lol

edit: dude on CNN even just said, its incredibly hard to intercept missiles, basically only USA #1 and Israel have that ability

I’m kind of wondering if we somehow snuck some in already. There was a former US NATO General on CNN earlier today and he said something about NATO being capable of putting a “cap” over Kyiv, then he kind of stuttered and changed the subject awkwardly.

Then tonight a CNN reporter said they were stunned Ukraine was intercepting ballistic missiles over Kyiv, they didn’t think Ukraine had that advanced capability.
