I watched the videos and saw explosion but what did they hit? That video is from 20 minutes ago. They could have hit an apartment building, troops on the line, or an empty parking lot like they hit in Kyiv last night. You might want to settle down until information about what was or was not actually hit comes out instead of blowing your load over videos of explosions.

ETA: Also what part of the Zap oblast is that? It looks rural to me but I can’t really make anything out other than the explosions and a power line tower in the far right of the video.

Can I ask you unless you’re not an actual Russian, why would you be cheering like a schoolgirl for Russia to indiscriminately attack civilians in an invasion they started? What is your exact motive? I’m genuinely curious. Are you just a troll or do you really just get your rocks off on Russia trying to bring the soviet union back? Considering you post about nothing but this topic I’m guessing you’re just a Russian troll.

I want this over as fast as possible so our politicians can't drag this shite out for years. I also want it to discourage our moronic leaders from continuing to start proxy wars and regime changes all around the world. This country is in a straight free-fall and I have seen at least a dozen politicians holding press conferences talking about what Ukraine needs, what about us? I truly feel like they are pushing us into WW3, the comments by NATO this week are disturbing. The sooner this is over, the sooner people can see that Russia has no interest in invading western European nations.

Not once have I done this. Give me a break with the indiscriminately attacking civilians bullshite. For the scale of this war, the civilian casualties are as low as you will find in any major war.

BS. You have been cheering on Russia and its indiscriminate targeting of civilians since the invasion started. If you wanted this war to be over you would be wondering why Russia didn’t attack the rail bridges in Dnipro or Zap city. Of course if you really truly wanted this to end you would be wondering why Russia rejected Ukraine proposed peace talks in Malta last year .

It’s not just the deaths. It’s the injuries, kidnapped children, displaced people, and families torn apart. Your dismissal of the civilian suffering is sickening.

No i’m calling g bullshite. I’ve read way too many of your posts acting like a cheerleader for Russia. Go frick off trying to play that shite off about starting WW3. Russia would be the i’ve to start it if it were to happen by what they did in Ukraine. How do you think Poland will feel having a neighbor in Russia if they took Ukraine? Yeah that didn’t work out too well for the Poles to first time. You should be anti g Purim to call over dead and the Russian army to pull back from their invasion if you truly wanted to avoid WW3 but you’re one of those pussies that are just willing to give Putin what he wants in hopes that stops his appetite for more. I seem to remember another guy in that same position and an idiot Neville Chamberlain waving a meaningless piece of paper like he had saved the world. If you think Putin us any different tell me why. The man is in the twilight years of his life and has made it known he wants the old borders so what does he have to lose? Get the frick out of here with your bullshite and go beat off to your picture of Putin on horseback with no shirt.

Of course because slow Joe doesn’t really give a shite about Ukraine and he doesn’t want to drill here at home so he’s got to have oil coming from somewhere. If we were getting missiles lobbed at us like Ukraine is I doubt we would gget be a frick
what anyone thought about us retaliating in kind.

Russians attack energy facilities to cause large-scale failure
STANISLAV POHORILOV — Friday, 22 March 2024, 07:11

Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko has said that the Russian attack on the night of 21-22 March was aimed at the Ukrainian energy sector and was the largest in recent times.

Source: Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko on Facebook

Quote: "The enemy is now launching the largest attack on the Ukrainian energy sector in recent times. The goal is not just to damage it, but to try again, like last year, to cause a large-scale failure in the country's energy system."

Details: He said that, unfortunately, there have been successful strikes and damage to generation facilities, electricity transmission and distribution systems in various oblasts.

In addition, one of the power lines supplying the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was cut off from electricity due to the bombardment.

He also said that there are power cuts in some oblasts. "Power engineers are already working to restore power supply. We are doing everything possible to restore electricity to people as soon as possible," said Halushchenko.

Background:

Russian forces launched cruise missiles at Ukraine from the Caspian Sea on the night of 21-22 March, and an air-raid warning was issued in Kyiv and all oblasts. As local authorities reported, the Russians struck energy facilities.

Russia fires 60 attack drones and almost 90 missiles at Ukraine – Zelenskyy
VALENTYNA ROMANENKO — Friday, 22 March 2024, 08:46

Russian occupation forces fired more than 60 Shahed kamikaze drones and almost 90 missiles of various types at Ukraine on the night of 21-22 March.

Source: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on social media

Quote: "Last night there were more than 60 Shahed drones and almost 90 missiles of various types. The world sees the targets of Russian terrorists as clearly as possible: power plants and energy supply lines, a hydroelectric dam, ordinary residential buildings, even a trolleybus. Russia is at war against ordinary people's lives. My condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed by this terror."

Details: Zelenskyy noted that relevant services had already started working in all the cities affected by the attack. Electricity supply is being restored.

Zelenskyy pointed out to international partners again that unlike Western aid packages for Ukraine, Russian missiles do not have any delays.

Quote: "Shahed drones are not indecisive like some politicians. It is important to understand the cost of delays and postponed decisions. The Patriot air defence systems need to protect Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, and we need air defence systems to protect people, infrastructure, houses and dams. Our partners know exactly what is needed. They can definitely support us. We need these solutions. Life must be protected from these monsters from Moscow."

Yeah, no.

Unless Russia is stopped, the war will drag on for years, as Russia slows advances and takes Kyiv and Odessa. Then, Russia would take Moldova.

Then, Europe would face the prospect of fighting -- not only Russia -- but also Ukraine, as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians would be drafted into the Russian army.

Like, even a retard would understand that the war can't end until Russia is stopped.

EDIT: And for Russia invading NATO countries, that obviously wouldn't happen for years, as Russia would have to build up its strength again first. But all anyone has to do is listen to what Russian propagandists constantly say to know that is the ultimate goal -- the talk about Poland, for example, is constant.

British Defence Intelligence
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE
22 March 2024

On 21 March 2024, Russia conducted its first major Long Range Aviation (LRA) strike against Ukraine in over a month. The strike force included at least 10 Tu-95 BEAR-H aircraft operating from Olenegorsk and Engels airbases as well as MiG-31 FOXHOUND fighters. At least 20 missiles (including Russia's premier AS-23a KODIAK air launched cruise missile and the AS-24 KILLJOY air launched ballistic missile) were launched, targeting locations primarily in Kyiv. It had been 44 days since the previous aviation strike on Kyiv.

It is a realistic possibility that the month-long pause in LRA strikes was due to aircraft fleet management and planning issues. Sanctions have likely restricted Russia's ability to access key components for both aircraft and missiles alike. Continued Ukrainian air defence successes have also likely complicated Russian mission planning.

Russia will almost certainly continue strikes against critical locations as aircraft, crews and weapon stocks allow, attempting to maintain pressure on the Ukrainian government and population via its stand-off strike capability. This is symptomatic of a prolonged campaign where tactical air, such as fighter aircraft and helicopters, continues to have limited impact on the overall conflict.

Ukrhydroenergo: One station of Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant in critical state

by Kateryna Hodunova March 22, 2024 11:50 AM

Russian troops struck Zaporizhzhia's Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant two times directly with missiles, causing critical damage to one of its stations, the head of Ukrainian state-owned energy company Ukrhydroenergo Ihor Syrota told Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) on March 22.

"So far, we are losing the station," Syrota said.

Zaporizhzhia's Dnipro Hydroelectric Station, Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power plant, was hit during the Russian mass attack on March 22.

Syrota told RFE/RL that the Hydroelectric Power Station-2 (HPS-2), one of the two stations of Zaporizhzhia's Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant, is in critical condition as two Russian missiles hit it directly, damaging crane girders and a support pillar.

Ukrhydroenergo's head said that the adjacent dam also suffered damage, but there was no danger of a breach.

"We do not know to what extent the HPS-2 would operate (after the attack)," Syrota said, adding that HPS-1 also does not work as of around 10:00 a.m. local time on March 22.

According to the head of Ukrhydroenergo, it is unclear whether HPS-2 can be saved. Throughout the day, the company will calculate the damage and draw a conclusion about HPS-2's state, he added.
