Footage of strikes by Russian drones, presumably Lancet-51s, on a Ukrainian Patriot air defense system battalion near Vasylkivske in the Zaporizhia region. The drones struck an M902 launcher and an AN/MPQ-53 radar, part of the Patriot air defense system. Judging by the interface, the Lancet drones have been updated. The extent of the damage to the Patriot air defense systems is unknown; some media outlets believe they are dummy units.
Footage of a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber using an RBK-500 cluster munition bomb in Ukraine. The video was filmed in a forest belt near the village of Maryivka, in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. The RBK-500 bomb struck positions of the 42nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Note the continuous destruction zone; the RBK-500 bomb detonates, creating a cloud of 154,000 steel balls.
FPV drones destroyed an Abrams tank and a Ukrainian convoy in Grishino. Footage has emerged of an attempted counteroffensive by the Ukrainian 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skala" in the Pokrovsk sector. An armored group consisting of a BMP-2, an M1A1 Abrams tank, an M113 armored personnel carrier, an M1117 armored personnel carrier, several armored vehicles, and an infantry group attempted to break through near Grishino. According to the video, all the armored vehicles were destroyed by FPV drones. The video has been shortened. Fifty-three Ukrainian soldiers were killed; the footage has been removed from the video.
Putin can claim "The US made me do it" all he wants, but good people don't give any credence to what that wicked man says.The correct article, but at the same time it is funny how the author is obliged to start with the words: "Vladimir Putin's decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a monstrous act of aggression that has plunged the world into a perilous situation..."
After these words, the whole article tells why this attack was justified, but the tribute to the "free, thinking media" was given.

So Nato creeping onto Russia's border fermenting a Coup in Ukraine and supporting Nazi thugs who started a civil war against people in Donbass had nothing to do with anything.
I am not aware of all the excuses that Putin may have used to justify his barbarous invasion of Ukraine.So Nato creeping onto Russia's border fermenting a Coup in Ukraine and supporting Nazi thugs who started a civil war against people in Donbass had nothing to do with anything.

Facts are not excuses.
Let me give you an example. When looters rioted and looted after Floyd died from a drug overdose the uncivilized savages blamed racist cops. Racist cops are not justification for looting and rioting. Blaming cops for causing criminal responses is an excuse, not some justifiable reason based on facts. There is no evidence, reason, or logic to justify Putin's invasion of Ukraine or Palestinian murder of hundreds of innocent women and children.

I am not justifying murder of innocent women and children, unlike you people who try and excuse genocide, you have ignored the coup instigated against the elected government in Ukraine and the following civil war started by the Coup morons like Porochenko and others including Nazi groups, they attacked other Ukrainian citizens using the army and airforce in Donbass they burned people alive in Odessa in a Nazi style pogrom because those people objected to the overthrow of their elected Government and were met with bullets in places like Mariupol when they protested, all that is why Russia became involved, did you miss all that or are you pretending it never happened?
Obama allowed the Russians to invade Ukraine on his watch. Who are you blaming for challenging the legitimate authority in Ukraine?

What the hell is the matter with you? i have given you the facts of what happened which you have ignored, and the point is there has been no legitimate Government in Ukraine since 2010. see electoral map, the blue area was where Yanukovych had a majority winning the election, it is Lugansk and Donbass, that is where all the fighting has been because that is the area that the Ukrainian coup Regime attacked, and what do you mean Obama allowed? he couldn't have stopped it.

At least we agree that Obama did nothing to help or change the political turmoil within Ukraine while he was president.

I grieve for the oppressed families in Russia who are forced at gunpoint to supply fresh young soldiers to die in Ukraine.

Russian casualties in Ukraine top 1.2 million, report says
Alex Berry with dpa, AP01/28/2026January 28, 2026
A new report has gathered data on battlefield losses from the war in Ukraine, estimating total losses could reach 2 million by April.
Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, reported problems in Ukraine's military-industrial complex. According to him, Ukraine is almost entirely dependent on Western supplies and technologies for drone production. All components for drones produced in Ukraine, including software, advanced defense technologies, and even the 3D printers used to produce them, are all foreign-made. Budanov also reported that Ukraine has not built a single new tank during the war. Regarding Ukraine's missile program, Budanov acknowledged "serious nuances." He claimed that Ukraine's "allies" are deliberately not selling key components and assemblies to Kyiv. "And we lost the ability to produce our own missiles, exactly 20 years ago. We used to be able to do it, and then we lost it," Budanov said. It's worth noting that problems in Ukraine's military-industrial complex were discussed back in 2022, when it was reported that without Western weapons and financial assistance, the Ukrainian Armed Forces would be able to fight for no more than six months.
The video shows the downing of a Ukrainian Hornet UAV, the destruction of a Baba Yaga drone, and an attack by two Yolka interceptor drones on a Ukrainian UAV. The video concludes with the downing of a Ukrainian fixed-wing UAV in the Kherson region and a serviceman's impressions of using a Yolka interceptor drone.

Treaty on the Russian–Ukrainian border - Wikipedia
From 2004. Recognizing and legitimizing the borders as they existed when the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Belarus became independent and sovereign nations. The United Nations accepted the three new countries in 1991, and no border disputes were articulated by any of the three.
The Russia-Ukraine Border Treaty was signed by Russian president Vladimir Putin himself.

Putin always intended to rebuild the USSR. He waited for BIden to take power because he knew Biden was so senile he would be a weak leader.
