On December 18, several videos documenting some of the Russian military’s recent operations against Kiev forces surfaced online.

Nine of the videos show dozens of attacks with FPV suicide drones, grenade-dropping drones, and interceptor drones that targeted Ukrainian troops, posts and equipment, across several directions within the special military operation zone over the last few days.

Another video shows a series of rocket attacks on positions of Kiev forces near the city of Krasnoarmeysk in the Donetsk direction and Huliaipole in the direction of Zaporozhye.

Two more videos show recent airstrikes with UMPK-equipped guided glide bombs that hit Ukrainian troops in the settlement of Rodynske in Donetsk, and the settlement of Vilcha in the direction of Kharkiv.

In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in its daily briefing that missile, drone and artillery strikes hit “energy infrastructure in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, long-range attack drone teams and storage areas, as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed groups and foreign mercenaries in 149 areas” over the past 24 hours.

The ministry also said that Russian air defenses intercepted 216 fixed-wing drones which were launched by Kiev forces during the same period.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Kiev forces have lost 669 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 103,758 drones, 640 air defense systems, 26,591 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,633 multiple rocket launchers, 31,994 artillery pieces, and 49,358 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.

what trumps doing is revolutionary he’s creating c _5 which is india russia china north america the usa, and japan to unite as one body challenging thd old school g7. that’s the most important move and with the stares he s doing exactly what i’ve wanted to be done since i was 16,every citizen is being made a shareholder in the country. so they all are owners of the common wealth as free citizens with vested interests in cooperation.

Bob

the woman thar runs the central banks has said that, as the law stands now, she cannot allow usrualas group to use russias assets. but she’s said i’m certain they will find a solution. because its too important obviously saying we do not allow peace until russia is defeated. allegedly.

the narrative

russia still has the same option. continue, the opposition is dreaming of a freeze. to re arm and start again. they will do this any way they can, with all the lies and propaganda that can be created and distributed globaly.

by compliant cloned neo nazis serving the same source and like deadshits they dont even understand what they’re doing, haven’t even really a clue as to what puppets they are. clueless thinking they’re clever. allegedly.

Bob

you don’t get it, or youre a liar. the opposition wants them to be forced to continue there’s something fundamentally wrong with a person who does not understand the basics, that war and rumours of wars are the most profitable businesses on this planet. something very fundanentally wrong with those people. stupid is an understatement, no one could be that stupid. although with quality, and the most expensive private education on earth, anythings possible by degrees to deceive the world.
