Russian UAVs are reaching Kiev and its central districts on a regular basis. For example, Russian drones attacked the government quarter on January 1. According to Ukrainian observers, they were able to bypass Ukrainian electronic warfare systems thanks to some new antennas. At the same time, Ukrainians complain that the effectiveness of Russian strikes is growing because the Ukrainian military command is taking soldiers from the air defense units and throws them to the infantry groups on the frontlines.
we assimilated homo ukie-amerikunt hillbillies accept that we are inferior species —nothing we say is designed to be heard
fortunately, russia has no other oil, so that ukraine has managed a really bitter blow against russia 🇺🇦=🏃♂️🤡 😆😆😆
oh, such nasty sarcasm. i’m telling your mother.
ukrainian drones are the flying monkeys of the wicked witch of the west while russian drones are the angels doing their best to save the poor, misguided souls trapped in her dungeons.
the longer the striking range of udf becomes, the more vulnerable russian infratsructure will become. not only the army will suffer, civilians as well.
russia has been very careful to avoid civilian casualties during this conflict. it could well change if kiev wishes it to.
well, there’s always the sampson option. if it’s good enough for israel, then… why not?
and trying to do to russia exactly what kiev had been doing to the donbass for 8+ years with no surrender will surely change the war’s direction in ukraine’s favor this time. how’s that work again?
do tell, johnny boy.
it’s turning into a war on oil in reality .very much so an energy war in.disguise to force nuclear power into every commune.or slave yard. really. they actually do privately call them cells ,not communities.
well done, ukraine 👍
for killing my family and friends in 2014. ethnic ukrainians from the donbass. murdering scumbags.
human sacrifice. the cost of living to them .imo .

never forgive, never forget.
i like my ukraine medium rare, thank you.

double tap… triple tap… quadruple tap… until they’re all gone!… and unlike the u.$. government as the aggressor that did it to innocent iraqi(s) and that hid it until a brave pfc disclosed it to a gentleman from australia you have the right in defense of your nation to show the rest of the wolrd their elimination russian federation “when”???
biden did it all .imo
if you read all the western media including voa /bbc fox news etc they all say how ukrainian defences include western supplied radar emissions that block russian drones/uav,s and they boast about it .the telegraph a uk newspaper reveals russia is using a new type of ew resistant drone using fibre optics and even shows the new designed aerial dated 10-1-2025.
russia are so farked. oil industry getting attacked every day, storage tanks destroyed every day, pipelines destroyed, ships being seized, sovereign revenues being seized, us and europe now preparing sanctions on al industry and a 15th package of sanctions. us preparing new sanctions to force russia to negotiate peace. uk making 100 year agreements with ukraine to control russia shipping in the black sea. blockading russia completely is being prepared by eu.
yea they will not let russua not become theirs .that’s all .full stop .
does russia have any oil industry left, certainly they don’t have spare parts to repair the damaged specialised equipment in the refineries. nuclear industry going to be sanctioned. russia are so farked and the eu us blockade is coming. russia will soon be cut off from the world like north korea and cuba.
reality–not while the brics exist –eu has increased imports of russian oil/gas and america still buys fuel for its atomic power stations from russia-uk controlling black sea ????? do you work for disney world or holywood ? the uk is scared to send ships there a tiny wee island that admits it could only last a week in a war with russia.
