Russia Fires Barrage of Missiles at Ukraine's Major Cities
Newsmax ^ | December 29, 2022

Posted on 12/29/2022 10:23:55 AM PST by Navy Patriot

Russia fired scores of missiles into Ukraine early on Thursday, targeting Kyiv, the northeastern city of Kharkiv, and other cities in a massive aerial bombardment that sent people rushing to shelters and knocked out power, Ukrainian authorities said.

...

Brigadier General Oleksiy Hromov of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said the missiles were fired at "critical and energy infrastructure facilities in the eastern, central, western and southern regions."

The attacks followed an overnight assault by 'kamikaze' drones. Russia has mounted numerous waves of air strikes in recent months on Ukrainian critical infrastructure, leaving millions without power and heat in freezing temperatures.

I’m pretty sure Russia knows that satellites exist, since they launched the first one.

Yeah, they communicate with things called antenna that are connected to things with something called electricity.

Lol. If that’s what we wanted to do, we would have done it. We didn’t.
If this had been Russia’s primary strategy, they would have done it Day 1. Which was…10 months ago. They have absolutely failed at accomplishing their strategic goals and have fallen to lobbing Iranian missiles into Ukraine from Russian based aircraft. It’s embarrassing. And not working.

Correction. Lobbing Iranian missiles from Russian territory. Lobbing Russian missiles from Russian based aircraft. Even more embarrassing.

“Russia doesn’t want western Ukraine.”

Oh sure, Russia has no interest in territories that it considers “historically Russian”. No interest at all. It would never invade them repeatedly in a mostly fruitless attempt to reconquer them. That’s crazy talk.

Sure, and Russia’s going to have to drop about a billion times more ordinance before Ukraine can’t generate enough electricity to transmit a radio signal.

This is just the prep for the Big Push. Wait till Christmas. I think Mr. Putin has a present for Zelensky that will be a big surprise! The Wagnar Group ill give the Fortress city of Bacmud (Sp?) to Putin as a new Year’s Gift. Christmas is on January 6th in Russia.

"Nice try ukros. But you failed."

I thought U.S. troops were in Ukraine to give these fools training. The woke U.S. military is probably only training them in gender-neutrality, how to cross-dress, doing their nails, picking out the perfect wig, and putting on make-up correctly.

Nonsequitur argument.

You should probably wipe the uke jizz from your chin before typing.

The point is US/NATO targeted the same civilian infrastructure in Iraq and Serbia you now claim is a ‘crime’ in Ukeland. You are factually wrong and illogical in your conclusions. A sure sign of a propagandist.

War is horrible and there were lots of opportunities for this war to be avoided, all ignored by the west or made inevitable based upon their lies in treaties. Pretending Uke and its NATO masters are blameless is ahistorical nonsense.

50 CIA Analysts have told CNN that out of 120 missiles fired, Ukraine shot down 293, with remaining missiles hitting a childrens’ hospital, an orphanage and gay nightclub

Stop spreading lies, Putin Puffer! The truth is that the Russians had only six cases of 7.62mm left, 14 hand grenades and a few bottles of Soviet-era vodka, all of which was used up last night when The Great Gay-Dancing Freedom Fighter Zelenskyyyy™ (he's fighting for the West's freedom!!!) singlehandedly snuck into the Kremlin and attacked and killed Putin, who was dying from AIDS, breast cancer and heartburn which he contracted after a recent sex change operation gone wrong. So Ukraine has finally won the war!

The nice man on the TV said it is a victory for all of us and that Zelenskyyy is great like George Washington and Captain Kirk!!!!

That ain’t news, but a Telegram rumour.

Poland already has an army, we aren’t gathering one.

And that us to prevent you Russians from any misadventures west. Though you are already being crushed by the Ukrainians

🇬🇧 🇵🇱 According to the Polish publication Dziennik Polityczny, more than 70 thousand male Poles have left for the European Union and the UK in the last few weeks. It is predicted that by March 2023, up to several hundred thousand citizens of Poland may leave.

In December, the country’s defence ministry announced a military training exercise for reservists in the spring. People actively started receiving summonses, which caused a negative reaction among men of conscription age. Presumably, the Polish authorities plan to deploy some 200,000 men (or even more). Because of this, the easiest and most popular way of “dodging” the army was for men to flee Poland. The United Kingdom is one of the most popular havens for Poles.

A Polish actor who bragged about killing Russians was killed near Bakhmut.

On the night of December 5, Russian troops liquidated two mercenaries from Poland. One of them was 41-year-old actor Janusz Sheremet.
In his early days,he didn’t serve in the army and was fond of creative work.

In 2014, Sheremet travelled to western Ukraine. There he studied the customs of the Cossacks. On his social networks, there are many photos of him with a Cossack chub and moustache. It was also when he became acquainted with members of right-wing radical movements.

On a website for actors, Sheremet wrote on his bio that in 2015 he was a member of the equestrian theatre Zaporizhian Cossacks. He moved to England in 2016 and studied at the Independent Theatre Academy of Brighton from 2017 to 2019. According to him, he starred in several films directed by Scheiler in 2020. The Pole also tried his hand at martial arts: he wanted to become an MMA fighter and practised jiu-jitsu.

On March 8 ,2022, he returned to Ukraine and signed a contract with the International Legion. He started Facebook and Instagram pages on which he talked about how he was fighting the Russians. He wrote that he wanted to “stop the war by defeating the Russians.” At the end of May, he became a platoon leader. He commanded mercenaries from Colombia, Chile, Japan, France, and the USA.

Over the summer, in an interview with Polish media, Sheremet told how he was wounded near Kharkiv. “We killed one Russian, took his radio, and listened to commands,” he said.

Soon, however, only two of their group of 12 were left; the rest were killed or escaped. Janusz himself, injured near Kharkiv, was abandoned on the battlefield by his partner.
In the autumn, Janusz’s unit was redeployed to the vicinity of Bakhmut (Artemivsk). On the night of December 4–5, the mercenary platoon came under Russian artillery fire. Sheremet was left with four children.

"Ukraine shot down 54 of 69 missiles (78%)."

You are a lying SOS.

Dziennik politiczny is NOT a Polish publication.

It’s a Russian troll website.

Why do you keep lying? You are Russian?
