Fatal Ukrainian drone barrage on Russia hits oil refinery

The silly drone attacks will ultimately not have any real effect other than merely making Russia more angry, especially the brazen killing of a mother and toddler.

A Ukrainian drone attack killed a mother and her toddler in western Russia on Wednesday, local officials said, in a major overnight barrage that set an oil refinery ablaze and targeted a nuclear facility.

Not only did Zelensky kill a woman and a baby, he intentionally targeted a nuclear facility.

This is a war crime and puts the entire planet at risk.

Ukraine taking the fight to the fascist invader. Could not be more justified to take out oil infrastructure. Eventually will be reasonable for Ukraine to take out nuclear infrastructure.

Can't simultaneously be of no effect and enraging the animal.

This is a war crime and puts the entire planet at risk.

Maybe the ICC should open an investigation on top of the thousands of investigations of mothers and children killed by russia.

Key takeaway are the last 5 sentences, which belatedly outline the situation on the main line of contact. This is when the RMoD announces an advance after the inevitable mop-up operation wraps up. For those having trouble locating the place mentioned - Novoyelizavetivka - on a map, look here: (48.136979, 37.045085). The difference in spelling/s and multiple places with similar names can boggle the mind (even google maps has different spelling).

By the time one digests this, Russian forces have already taken the next village west, Nadiivka. And the article gets in right in that the impending entry into Dnipro region will be a whole new kettle of fish. Here they are about 6 clicks but just a bit further north, they are 4 clicks.

Interesting they have Chasiv Yar featured in photo 1 - that is almost taken. Indeed everywhere visible in the photo, which is facing northerly, is Russian controlled. The drone is just over the last front line even. The key identifier there is that big factory - the refractory plant.

Go Ukraine!!!

By targeting nuclear infrastructure, Kyiv is desperately trying to provoke an overreaction from Moscow, which they've been desperately trying to get for a while. Obviously, the larger motive is to draw NATO in, which is the only way they can survive.

In this, Putin has unarguably been disciplined and on his game: laser focused on the important match at the main battlefront, keeping the eye on grinding down Kyiv regime and supporting infrastructure forces there and not getting sidetracked from the overall conditions that will bring victory.

"Eventually will be reasonable for Ukraine to take out nuclear infrastructure."

NATO mouthpieces supporting attacks on nuclear power plant infrastructure comes as no surprise. They don't care about any potential radiation fallout affecting civilian areas be they in Russia or Ukraine. Russia hate blinds their judgment.

Maybe don't try to wipe countries off of the map next time.

Maybe daddy will notice you if you praise him enough.

Another desperate attempt of the big US industrial military complex to keep profiting from the devastation in Ukraine.

And most likely the Trump administration is unaware what is going behind the scenes.

The truth is Ukrainians continue to suffer the consequences of this massacre. And the conflict is a dangerous, unwinnable proxy war undertaken by the Washington against Russia

is this way how Ukraine is "prevailing"?

just wanted to be sure because if yes heroi have very long way to go to WIN...

How can Moscow "overreact" other than what it is already doing? Namely, murder, rape, torture, destruction, and child abduction? There's really only nuclear weapons left, and Putin surely understands what that means.

And Ukraine never "provoked" Moscow in the first place (sorry, Kremlin disinformation about color revolutions is pure fantasy) but Russia still invaded, so it scarcely matters what Ukraine does now.
