Judging by the sound delay, the explosion was likely up to 5 miles away. BBC interviewed locals, who claimed that the shock waves were so powerful they might have died if they were just outside. Zelenskyy’s delusional war is suicidal, this must end
Target was most likely a large ammunition depot. Judging by the sheer amount, that was their storage for their entire spring counteroffensive. Welp.
So now your problem with the war effort is no longer that Russia will lose and that would doom communism, but that Russia will win and this would also doom communism?
Ukraine has received weapons from the West amounting to 200 billion dollars of aid, , more than Russia’s entire annual military budget, Russia has sent 200,000 men plus SOBR, Wagner, and some Chechens to defeat Ukraine’s 800,000 strong standing army plus hundreds of thousands of conscripts, the BBC has admitted that only around 20,000 Russians have died, Ukraine’s GDP has fell by 30% (literally Great Depression levels with no end in sight), while Russia’s had only fallen by 3% and is now projected to grow faster than Germany and the US. Men are dragged off the streets in Odessa to be thrown into Bakhmut while 80% of Orekhov, the AFU’s planned springboard for the Crimea offensive, was just blown to shreds in retaliation for an attack by a drone most likely launched by some Russian saboteur that didn’t even light the flag on fire as Zelenskyy desperately tries to use vague psychological victories instead of a now impossible superoffensive to keep the Western aid flowing.
