Ukrainian forces have reportedly damaged a key bridge outside the southern occupied city of Melitopol, a key objective in the region.

The crossing over the Molochna River is situated between Melitopol and the village of Kostyantynivka just to the east of the city on the M14 highway and was struck overnight.

Video posted online showed two supports of the bridge had been damaged during the attack, with the span partly collapsed by the blast, making it reportedly unusable for heavy military traffic.

As they did for Kherson, Comrade Cranked, if you recall. Melitopol is the next city to be liberated in the south! The battlespace shaping has begun there!

Since I haven’t seen any infrastructure in the US being rebuilt since the $3 trillion bill passed, maybe they meant Ukraine’s infrastructure?

Russia’s use of sustained artillery fires on entrenched Ukrainian troops in places like Bakhmut and Soledar is taking a toll that is being counted in the thousands. It appears that for every single Russian casualty there are 10 Ukrainians killed or wounded. Take a look at this letter notifying prospective patients who had planned elective surgery in Kiev to stay home (at link):

Scheduled hospital admissions have been halted in Kiev since 2 December on the orders of the Kiev administration. The reason is the huge number of wounded coming from Bakhmut.

According to an eyewitness, a journalist for the major Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, more than 100 seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers are being admitted to one hospital evacuation point alone.

Crankediot, Ukraine already won in March by defeating Putin’s attempt to make it a vassal state. The Ukrainians destroyed the elite VDV Russian paratroopers in the battle of Hostomel and crushed the Russian military column that tried and failed in taking Kyiv.

Since march the Russians have been continually pushed back. From controlling 27% of Ukraine in march, Putin now controls only 15% and falling.

Time for Putin to quit. Putin is destroying Russia

“… Time for Putin to quit. Putin is destroying Russia”
******************************************************

Time for the whole Biden/Globalist Ukraine project to end. Much of the West is destroying itself and its peoples economically — INTENTIONALLY, IMHO.
