A series of deadly strikes on civilian targets across Ukraine leaves officials urging people to heed air raid sirens.
NY Times ^ | July 17, 2022

More than four months into Russia’s invasion, the wail of air raid sirens warning of an incoming strike has become, to some Ukrainians, a kind of background noise: irritating, alarming, but also possible to ignore.

A series of deadly missile attacks by Russian forces in recent days that have hit civilian targets, however, has changed the calculus, sending Ukraine’s leaders scrambling to reinforce the message that adherence to the advisory to seek shelter saves lives.

“I’m begging you, once again: Please don’t ignore the air alert signals,” President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said in a national address this weekend. “Appropriate rules of conduct must be followed at all times.”

Send more money to the Ukraine. There's villas and mansions just sitting there in Switzerland waiting to be bought up. Your tax dollars help rehabilitate these unused buildings.

Oh yeah, more military equipment the Ukes can sell on the black market.

MSM tells us at the same time that Russia is running out of ammunition, and is begging Iran for drones, and at the same time, are wasting expensive missiles on random civilian targets. Does that make sense to anyone?

The recent strike on the “civilian business complex” in Vinnytsia was, even according to Ukrainians, also an Air Force Officers club. The Russians claim they struck a meeting of Air Force staff and arms suppliers.

Anyway, who believes the NY Times?

Ukrainian civilians should also check to see if the apartment next door is a barracks for 50 Azov Nazi Soldiers, or just houses a Missile parts fabrication and assembly facility ...

“Anyway, who believes the NY Times?”

The whole AngloSphere media is full of untruths and disinformation.

Does that mean I think the Russians aren’t pumping out propaganda?

No it does not. Both sides are doing it.

The Duran is claiming that Russia has acquired the HIMARs system, along with ammunition.

The videos of Ukraine handing out automatic weapons to civilians at the outbreak of hostilities also comes to mind.

A very true statement. To be added: Vlad no doubt has a network of civilians loyal to Russia ratting out the Ukies ammo dumps, vehicle marshaling areas, etc…placed in civilian areas. Do beware, contrary to what our corrupted western MSM states, not all Ukies are keen on fighting Vlad down to the last Ukrainian.

Case in point, the second to last “ missile strike” on a shopping center was filmed by a Ukie national…guess what? Ukie military vehicles were pictured in the underground parking lot….all destroyed successfully….and the beat goes on.

Ukrainians are accustomed to conflict so they often just go about their business anyway.

If they did that they certainly wouldn’t report it ....but at least they could relocate themselves from living in a targeted building. Unfortunately a false sense of security is the norm.

Any bets that the air raid shelters have goons from the Ukrainian draft enforcement ready to pounce on new “volunteers?”

The latest Ukie war report by Mercouris.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaDfym1GJYE

Himars, Failed Ukie Kherson “offensive”, Russian missile strikes, Ukie punitive action on Kherson officials, and more….Warning: not for the Ukie war cheerleaders….at this point, best for the cheerleaders to believe the Ukies are marching on Red Square.
