Since the previous Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine in 2014, the Russian military has favored artillery strikes as its main form of attack. Fast forward to the current invasion, they are not utilizing just a few cannons or rocket launchers. Russian artillery batteries are pounding Ukrainian positions with over 60,000 shells and rockets per day.
Clearly the goal is to obliterate everything in front of them, leaving nothing standing. Sadly, this brutal strategy has resulted in tens of thousands of civilian casualties and has displaced millions.
This haphazard yet devastating bombardment has taken it's toll on Ukrainian defenders. Many have been forced to retreat or surrender while many more have been slaughtered. With each day that passes, the Russian artillery gets closer and closer to their ultimate goal: taking complete control of the Donbas region.
Unfortunately, the international community seems to be helpless to stop the brutal attacks. Russia, it seems, has barely felt the heavy sanctions and arms embargoes. The only thing that seems to be working is the resolve of the Ukrainian people and their military.
Despite overwhelming odds they stand and face the Russian onslaught, determined to fight back and defend their homeland.
Check out this video with an update on the current situation in Ukraine:
As always, it's important to note that the Ukrainian government itself is a corrupt body that deprives the Ukrainian people of their God given freedoms. But the Russian invasion is to be condemned fully.
Let us know what you think of the latest Ukrainian developments in the comments below.
What a cowardly act. Not difficult to attack those that cannot fight back!
Putin will be assasinated by his own people he is a murderer
Everybody is hoping he'll be removed from being president of Russia, but just some other idiot will replace him .
Just hope another idiot takes his place .
Compared to Biden, Putin is Einstein.
We have sent, and are sending, $Billions in armament, supplies, equipment, and they can't fight back? Sounds more like the Ukrainian Corruption Government want the USA to send our troops to go to war with Russia and fight for them
hy not if you really want to help do that and russia will calapse
The vast majority of the weapons and cash will never make it to the war effort. Zelensky will be a billionaire after this war if the Russians don't hang him first. Ukraine is as corrupt as a country gets. Another example of U.S. trying to create a puppet state and declare it a 'democracy'. What BS. Huge waste of money. Sanctions are making Russia RICHER by the day. U.S. hegemony is crumbling before our eyes.
Isnt it past time for Russian cities to experience evil, random destruction to give them a taste of what Russia is doing to a neighboring country.Innocent people always pay the price for evil,egos, and its time for Russians cities to get a real good taste of the hell Dictator Putin is inflicting in their name.
F Boy, who's going to do that? You? Russia is protecting the Russians in Donbas, that's the bottom line. U.S. support of corrupt Ukraine is a s stupid as it gets. Zelensky is a zionist shill perpetuating war.
That might be true, except that Putin has a "Football" too.
We know the problems A. of urban warfare, and B. of populations suffering from fighters amongst them. In Aleppo and Mossul, we called it "HUMAN SHIELDS". As there, the armed forces have no connection with the people of the area -in DonBass, mostly people of Russian ethnicity- and feel, therefore, no duty to keep them out of harm - quite the opposite, as we were told by local people in Mariupol as in Donetsk, that Ukrainian soldiers or militia fighters were shooting and throwing explosives from their home balcony - which brought back Russian gun fire against suspected Ukrainian gun pots.
We also heard, from Homs and Racqa, as from Bucha and Mariupol likewise, about "mas graves dug and filled by - always the "other side" - when our own "friends" were much more prone to do such things - in the case of the Ukrainian Nationalists like Bandera and Melnyk, we know that such mass slaughters could go up to the 100,000 in Volhynia.
We have been blinded by decades of anti-Russian US-NATO propaganda - and a "good and peaceful" character on Our Master's side. Of Ukraine, the character we knew was not so good, but "corrupt" and, therefore, not very honest - but now, we have to obey and believe each word?
They attacked the minorities in the country -in their own regions- and now, they want them "out or dead".
That is all according go the words of their own Great Hero and Teacher: Stepan Bandera, Hitler's best SS-man in WWII-Ukraine.
DON'T TRUST THEM!
Very true jboo7.
Fake news
If Ukraine had a corrupt power over them - seems as though they should let Russia move in and run them because one can't be worse than the other and essentially they could still live the same as before?
They do not want to live under a communists dictatorship. Pray for their freedom š.
Agree 100 percent ,and then we have a senile basement president getting us involved with something we don't have nothing to do with . Trump knew it all along that the ukraine government was corrupt but the libtards had to stick their nose into it .
The corrupt power is the U.S.
Well pooter is a spawn of satan!
This is what Biden is doing to us, minus the artillery.

FCKbidenandhisracistpissantadminofshit!
The first paragraph is correct, Russians are pounding positions (military positions) it is the Ukrainians that are shelling residential areas in Donbas. Russophobia has no place in journalism. Ukraine had to fire it's own 'Human Rights Commissioner' for spreading disinformation about Russian tactics and advances. If Russia wanted to attack civilian areas this military operation would have been over months ago. Russia is targeting military locations, especially areas that launch drone and missile attacks on Donbas. Please corroborate and have independent verification of your 'reporting'. RT.com provides much more accurate world news than the pitiful western propaganda fake news.
How do I access RT?
Too bad our worthless cowardly America hating federal government being led by a bunch of communists don't step in and stand up to Russia. Biden is the biggest political joke in history. Hope he and his staff fall over dead.
When the wall fell and the Soviet Union fell with it, many stationed in Europe felt Russia would again become aggressive to its European neighbors--In fact, I was one of them. I wrote a paper about the new Russia at the Navy War College, their difficulties with terrorists, and the distinct possibility a dictator would rise once again. My comment was that Putin, coming to power might be that person. Europe and the rest of the world better take what is happening in the Ukraine very very seriously (alla Adolf Hitler). Tom
From what I read the Ukraine started it by bombing Russia and thatās to bonehead Biden for trying to start a war using our military to protect his crooked son and organized crime in the Ukraine.
