Ukraine war: Russian airstrikes hit Kyiv and Lviv; missile breaches Polish airspace

by



Russia carried out air strikes in western Ukraine early on Sunday.
The capital, Kyiv, and the western city of Lviv were both targeted.
Polish authorities say one Russian missile violated their airspace before returning to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces say they have hit two Russian ships, a communications centre, and other infrastructure in Crimea.
Last month Russian troops also captured Avdiivka near Donetsk – their first major territorial gain in 10 months.
This comes ahead of reports Moscow is preparing for a new offensive – possibly by the end of next month.

  6. I live in Russia. I am a convinced supporter of the disintegration of Russia into independent states, because I understand that it was not Putin who started the war, but the Russian people, who inspired Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to this war, turning an ordinary thief into a real emperor and collector of Russian lands.
    In the West, in the USA and Canada, politicians not only live in stereotypes and myths about supposedly “good people” and a bad president. These myths are imposed by the liberal wing of the Moscow Reich, which calls itself the Russian liberal opposition.
    Thanks to the work of the so-called Russian dissidents, many in the West and in the United States romanticize Russian culture, not realizing that it is a FACADE. These are Potemkin villages. For Westerners, Russia is Dostoevsky. Russia is Bulgakov. But in reality, Russia means brutal murders in Bucha, Mariupol, Irpen, Odessa. Russia means raped and murdered girls in Ukraine. The Russian world is tens of thousands of children who were deported to the territory of Russia and Belarus.
    For the Germans in 1938, fascism was a deviation from the norm, but for the Russians as part of the empire, fascism is an absolutely natural state.
    I don’t know if the West understands that the state of RUSSIA has long been gone. There are criminal groups that share the thieves' dorm. Do you understand this?????
    Russia is 2000 families who control 100 million LIVESTOCK.
    Western and American politicians think strictly within the short political term allotted to them and the collapse of the empire goes far beyond the boundaries of their political career, so it is easier for them to bring Putin to the negotiating table. Putin thinks in decades, if not centuries. If Russia sits down at the negotiating table, it will only be a respite before a real global war. 75-80% of Russians are ready to endure any economic deprivation for decades in order to cause unacceptable damage to Western civilization. This is sincere and it cannot be cured by any benefits of civilization! The Russians had everything and they deliberately gave it all up. I know this, I lived with them for many years. Every day I saw how the deep Russian people at the entrances lamented that the whole world is against Russia and does not allow them to kill in Ukraine in peace.
    Do you think that Ukraine is fighting for itself? she fights for you so that the conflict does not spread to the whole world? Do you think the Russians only need Ukraine? Back in the days of 56 kbit modems, the Russians dreamed of striking Washington and sending troops under the English Channel. There was no propaganda in Russia at that time – this was the sincere desire of the Russian “people”. You are dealing with a rabble whose purpose in life is to ensure that other peoples live worse than they do. Other people's failures and people living under bridges are the main content that Russians consume on the free Internet. Russians hate and don't ask for your success. Russian anti-Americanism is an order of magnitude more fundamental than al-Qaeda's anti-Americanism. Russians will endure any hardship just to ruin your life. You are dealing with an “ethnic group” that is not immune to propaganda.
    Russians for thousands of years did not have property rights; they were exchanged for livestock and firewood. They did not know any craftsmanship or trade. In Russia, only traitors and informers managed to give birth to offspring, and positions were occupied by the least talented, but most loyal individuals to the authorities. The more crimes their government committed, the more support there was from the common people. Do you understand what “quality” of human material this population received? Do you understand that only the collapse and fragmentation of the empire will allow the Russian population to recover from imperial greatness? Russians were raised by tsars, raised by communists, raised by democrats, and nothing was brought up. Do you want to spend trillions more taxpayer dollars or euros to tame a rabid dog? The Russians will reject any sensible leader as part of the empire.
    RUSSIA MUST STOP EXISTING AS A LEGAL ENTITY.

  14. "Wars are won by civilians" quite a statement. Probably the cearee examples are Vietnam and Afghanistan, which were also asymmetrical wars. However , ukraine is actually far from having its entire population aligned withe war effort. Two things to consider: ukraine basically burned out nine entire brigades during the failed offensive, that explains why avdiivka fell down in such a rapid manner. Secondly, ukraine has a real manpower problem, please read the lat st nyt's piece on chronic shortage of manpower. Should ukraine government takes the sinking of boats in the black sea as indicator of success they are dead wrong. Russians have the upperhand in zaporizhzha, bakhmut, avdiivka. Guys, You should do more realistic reports.

  23. They speak to both sides for those complaining about them only speaking to western analysts. Maybe the Russians refused to comment as much as I understand Russian military strategy they’ll only speak on what there going to do once its already begun

  28. No amount of propaganda from Nato channels like Al Jazeera will change the course of destruction ukraine is undergoing through on a daily basis and thanks to independent media that is all over social platforms and exposing such fake news from the likes of Al Jazeera.
