Russia does not stop attacks: 1,750 drones, 1,530 aerial bombs and 39 missiles in a week

Over the past week, Russian forces have attacked Ukraine with nearly 1,750 attack drones, 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 39 missiles
 

This was announced by President Vladimir Zelensky, reports RegioNews .
 
According to him, civilian infrastructure, in particular energy and residential buildings, was under attack.
 

“Our soldiers manage to neutralize most of the targets. But you need more protection, and you need it for every day. First of all, these are air defense missiles, and therefore contributions and supplies under the PURLA program are key, ” the head of state noted.
 

The President thanked all international partners for their support and stressed the need to strengthen sanctions against Russia and its accomplices.

I truly hope that military engagements aren’t approached with such haste and recklessness—like a clumsy rush and aggressive charging. There is a reason why Javelin portable anti-tank weapons were strategically deployed and concealed across the country: the expectation was that the Russians would execute broad, sweeping movements and encirclements, reminiscent of Operation Bagration in 1944. While this strategy may captivate the Yanks and impress Western media with shock and awe, it ultimately fails to deliver on the critical goals of demilitarization and denazification. One fundamental principle of warfare that Russia is committed to is maintaining a clear objective. So let’s take a step back and appreciate the steady, methodical progress of the Special Military Operation (SMO). It may lack the excitement that some desire, but it is designed to achieve its strategic aims effectively. You just might learn something from JRL.

In the Ukrainian Gambit, any Russian patriot sees only two possible answers:
 
A) Vladimir doesn’t know how to play chess, or he’s either stupid or an idiot, and in any case, he’s not a rational player.
 
B) Vladimir is very intelligent; but he didn’t want to upset the Zionist Antony Blinken and the other Zionists in London, Berlin, Paris, Washington, and Tel Aviv, and that’s why he tied his hand behind his back and refused to play the best card he had in his entire deck of options to stop the very aggressive Anglo-Zionist empire.

Maybe you’re him. As a sockpuppet. But let’s say you are not, hypothetically.
 
First notice your post is abusive. Verbal abuse is intended to humiliate (which rarely works). Also you somehow imagine Putin is humiliating people. Fixating like this means you have an ancient world mind. This is not good. The last thing a civilized grownup would be -when in the rare case they want an apology- is abusive.

Let me see if I understand this.
 
Some Zionists are accusing Vladimir Putin of being ‘anti-Buddhist’
 
So what?
 
All that proves is what we already know: the meaning of words depends on their use.
 
And ‘anti-Buddhist’ means that something is something a Zionist dislikes.
 
For example, if a Zionist oligarch in London, New York, or Paris doesn’t like garlic soup, then garlic soup is ‘anti-Buddhist’.
 
What does that have to do with the question: is Vladimir stupid when it comes to playing the Ukrainian Gambit (1997-, 2008-, 2014-) or did he tie his hand behind his back so as not to upset the Zionist Antony Blinken and the other Zionists who hold (1997-) the reins of the Anglo-Zionist imperial Beast

Posted by: Valerio del Bierzo | Mar 8 2026 18:07 utc | 30

No
 
Well, if Vladimir isn’t stupid, as we all know, then when it came to playing the Ukrainian Gambit, he preferred to sacrifice thousands of Russian lives rather than upset the leaders of the Anglo-Zionist empire.
 
Any rational and patriotic Russian player would have told the Zionist Antony Blinken: “If you bother me here, I’ll bother you there.” And NATO would have withdrawn a thousand kilometers or signed the treaty that Vladimir wanted and that Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden rejected when the two discussed this issue. And Donald Likud Trump is the same.

I suppose it never occurs to you that Russia in 2014 was a different place to Russia in 2022. How disastrous would things have turned if Russia had intervened then, before it was truly ready, before positioning with China was firmed up, before stockpiles of hypersonic weapons had been built?
 
Perhaps it’s the really bloodthirsty types who wanted to see Russia go in earlier, just to see Russia take more casualties because she was not yet fully prepared?
 
Remember, only a few days after the start of the SMO in 2022 we got the first demonstration of Kinzhal hitting deep into Lvov, would that have been possible in 2014?

Personalisation is a traditional propaganda technique; it’s always used in Western propaganda and when you see someone using the technique you know that they are either a) just regurgitating MSM talking points (aka switched off their brain) or b) engage in intentional propaganda.
 
Well, or a combination of both, which is probably the case here 🙂

Even better than your Russia/Putin example is when adding even more rhetorical techniques, e.g. an alliteration combined with a valuation: “Putins Brutal Bombing of Civilians”.
 
Language can be very powerful, and unfortunately only 50% of the Western populace reaches a reading comprehension of level 2 which means that they have problems understanding written sentences like: “Your child has to be at school at ten tomorrow.” so it’s super easy to manipulate them…

I agree that the RF should have better approached the Ukie war. It’s a proxy war. Why sacrifice so many Russian lives. And why not use highly effective cluster munitions and APMs in large numbers? Why allow Ukraine to trade? Makes no sense. 
 
But don’t forget that RF received 8 million people from Ukraine since 2014. Their natural population growth is higher than ethnic Russian war casualties. This is the only population-sustainable war in the world. That is brilliant planning. Yet it does not justify some wasteful tactics. There are many Ukie harvesting strategies that can denazify the patchwork country of Ukraine much faster. Russia needs men to re-fertile Ukraine after the war. Ukraine is a country of orphans and widows. Essential to create a new civilized territory with self respect- not a cannon fodder country.

Qatar is the biggest rival of Russia in gas trade. The richest in the Gulf. The biggest per capita contributor to the petrodollar.
 
But Iran has spared Qatar. This is deliberate. Collapse of Iran offers many opportunities for Russia to bust the proxies behind the Ukraine war. Particularly USA, Turkey, Azerbaijan and the UK. Azerbaijan must be fully taken over. This NATO proxy is a threat to the region.

Very infrequently.
Ukie defenses are exposed in the Steppes now, for almost a year, a perfect opportunity to use both. The rugged and difficult terrain has been liberated by Russia. These are low cost, highly effective against French and British ancient tactics used by Ukraine. Their supply routes are few and known – mostly built by Russians. Perfect targets. But the opportunity is not taken. I agree avenues of approach should be clear but surely supply routes are definitely game. Also “cauldrons” and their exist point.

Zelensky no longer in the limelight since the war in Israel and Iran started again. Ukraine is forgotten by the yanks apart from MIC sales. NATO on the way to destruction as predicted by many even back in 2022.  Europe may even beg for Russian gas in the end.
 
If it is not clear by now that the US is the most untrustable duplicitous nation on Earth then you are just a very slow learner. A good lesson for Arab states and the fools in South American states who still pander to Uncle Sam, same for India. US foreign policy is “we love you while you suit our purposes then ditch you in the gutter to clean up the mess yourself bitch”. F.U.
 
Mandatory evacuation announced from five villages in the Dnipropetrovsk region: Katerynivka, Zarichne, Drozdy, Romanky and Vodyane of the Pokrovske community.
 
Zelensky was always going to lose, so too Ukraine. New wars are needed by the murderous US  to make more mess and make more money for the filthy MIC and US oil industries then run away again to leave the mess for everyone else to fix.  Trump is  clearly the oil man’ s buddy now as well. Might as well be George W. Bush kin.

There’s another scandal in Romania. Officials in Romania are now saying Ukrainians have been laundering billions worth of (western tax) money through Romania. Part of the money has gone to EU politician kickbacks.
 
The way it works is large stacks of cash shipped in pallets to Ukraine, and the money flows back from Ukraine into western, often German banks.

Ukrainian refugees crisis was handled differently than the Arab refugees crisis.
 
I remember back in 2022 I believed the Global South will forever etched this in their minds of this hypocrisy and racism as Ukrainian are blonde hair and blue eyes. Nowadays with anti immigration and ICE in the USA. I also be like yeah Ukrainians yall will be seen as lesser beings like the Arabs when the economy goes down in a few years.
 
Thanks God I don’t have to listen to any moral superiority talkpoints from the European and Anglo-Saxon. The lectures were over but now Europeans are unveiling their masks off. I can’t wait to hear Go back to your country by Euros to Ukraina. So they will rethink about their Racial beliefs.
 
The Russians most of them on the western side used to desire the European lifestyle but I guess that illusion is dead now. They will be better to see themselves as Eurasian and their future also tied to China. 
 
Ukraine was a mistake by Biden. Putin warned him and Obama and every officials and Journalists that they will invade if NATO pushed East. Even after 2014 the USA still committed to this debacle thinking Russia is a cakewalk. The lawyers and Financial WASPs don’t understand money is fictional and Russia has tangible resources underground. We will never win an industrial power with its own resources.

386 drones…
 
https://t.me/dva_majors/89341
 

▪️ 386 fixed-wing drones were destroyed by air defense forces between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM yesterday. Interestingly, the Ministry of Defense is now providing aerial combat statistics late (or not at all), but only for MAX. Given the total shutdown of TV broadcasts in the Moscow region for the holidays, MAX remains the only way for Moscow, decorated with millions of rubles, to get a more or less accurate picture of the war in the skies today.
▪️Our forces seemed to have struck economically important targets in the Odessa region and Illichivsk (Chernomorsk), but without systematic, ongoing work, everything is doomed to be eclipsed by the two-way hell in the Persian Gulf.
▪️In the Bryansk direction, one civilian was injured, according to reports from the governor, who constantly singles out the Miratorg agricultural holding company by name among the affected facilities.
▪️In the Sumy direction, the North Group of Forces is engaged in heavy fighting in the areas of Volchansk, Kucherovka, Bachevsk, Sukhodol, Novaya Sich, and Maksimovshchina, as well as south of Volfino and Pavlovka. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIPSO), using the name of the 126th Regiment , is attempting to pose as the unit’s command and bombarding communication channels with bots, supposedly promising to “rot our soldiers in battle” near Volchansk.
▪️Eight civilians and two Orlan fighters were wounded in the Belgorod region during daily strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The power outage and overall situation are dire while the capital’s Christmas trees are being taken down and the city is being prepared for spring tourism.
▪️Protracted, bloody fighting is underway in the Kharkiv sector . What was once a decisive offensive aimed at driving the enemy away from the border has devolved into daily slaughter in the Vovchansk region and further south. According to official reports, advances are 100-300 meters per day, meaning they are insignificant from an operational standpoint. Viscous fighting continues.
▪️ Kupyansk remains a sore subject, something everyone understands, but the decision has been made to portray the situation as neutral.
▪️In the Slavyansk direction , fighting is underway west of Seversk for access to roads and villages en route to Slavyansk. A little further north, protracted, bloody fighting near Krasny Liman is creating conditions for retaking the city once abandoned by the Russian Armed Forces, but its capture is unlikely to be immediate.
▪️In the direction of Konstantinovka, many operations remain, with new approaches to the city from various sides, as preparations are underway for the general battle, as many predict, for Donbas in 2026. For now, the most effective tactic remains the total destruction of the enemy to a depth of up to 50 kilometers and an advance of tens of kilometers under the cover of our forces.
▪️In the East, the Group of Forces is claiming to be expanding its zone of control in the areas of Zarnitsa, Vozdvizhevka, Verkhnyaya Tersa, and Komsomolskoye in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Far Eastern soldiers are reporting the destruction of yet more enemy armored groups during the deployment phase .
▪️In the Zaporizhzhia region , civilians have been killed and wounded by Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes. Civilian movement in frontline areas is impossible due to the numerous enemy drones in the air. For the same reason, the front remains unchanged.
▪️Overall, it’s extremely interesting to see what the future consequences will be for each troop group commander. The assessment, as they say in the smoking rooms, is the same: deception of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. Or rather, an attempt to do so.

“‘Ukraine’ was invented by Germany during WW1 to destroy Russia. They even brainwashed Russian POWs.”
 
In WW1 Russia was the attacker, and Germany, caught in a two-front war with three major powers, was in a desperate situation right from the start. It was totally legitimate for the Germans to build up the Ukraine as a proxy force in the East.

Is Doctorows view of the internal critique in Russia what Putin will have to comply with soon to stay in power or will Russia continue to not act more aggressively?
The critique as Doctorow reports it sounds more like many longterm critics like Paul Craig Roberts.
Would Russia have benefitted to strike much harder or will the attrition bring victory with less damage done?
The critique against not having shot down US spy planes moving close to Russian territory makes it look like the boiling frog principle meaning that the US may suddenly strike with a decapitating strike combined with internal treason prepared in advance.
I really dont know what to think.

Finland lifts ban on nuclear weapons imports
 
 
YLE NEWS  6.3. 11:55

 
 
Finland will lift its blanket ban on nuclear weapons imports, Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen (NCP) announced on Thursday evening.
 
 
He noted that the 1980s-era restriction is no longer aligned with Finland’s requirements as a Nato member.
 
 
“The [current] legislation does not reflect the needs Finland faces as a Nato member,” Häkkänen said.
 
 
He added that the transport of nuclear munitions into Finland will be permitted only in situations directly related to the country’s military defence. In all other cases, bringing nuclear devices into Finland will remain strictly prohibited.
 
 
Speaking to the press, Häkkänen declined to give examples of scenarios in which nuclear weapons might be brought into Finland, citing the classified nature of Nato nuclear policy.
 
 
He emphasised, however, that Finland is not seeking to host nuclear weapons on its territory, nor will Nato nuclear exercises involve deploying such arms in Finland in the future.

 
Opposition Criticizes Repeal of Ban

 
 
Under the current nuclear energy legislation, all forms of nuclear explosives are prohibited on Finnish soil.
 
 
Opposition parties, including the Social Democrats and the Left Alliance, have called for a parliamentary process involving all parties to address the repeal of the nuclear weapons ban.
 
 
Defending the administration, Häkkänen said the government has had to proceed with limited public communication due to the sensitivity of the issue. Party leaders were briefed on Wednesday, followed by presentations to parliament’s foreign affairs and defence committees.

  Just my 2c – Two majors are neither majors nor even privates – brother and sister Dmitry and Ekaterina Korziny. Their main activity is collecting humanitarian aid for the front lines. To this end, they created the group “Let’s Help the Front,” links to whose collections often appear in the posts of “Two Majors.” In their free time between collecting humanitarian aid and trips “behind the tape,” the Korzins apparently administer a TG channel.
Dmitry is former cab driver, his sister IT specialist and owner of a web design studio, formerly a resident of Germany and researcher of antique porcelain.
Their channel is a news aggregator from other channels, with minimal information from their own subscribers.

What RF did incorrectly was in 2014.
 
When the US/NATO coup began, RF airborne forces should have entered Kieve to back up the pro RF government.
 
They did not, and thus this long tail of a 12 year war began.  But there is now the opportunity to correct that with the West totally focused on Iran.  Push and push hard now !  On to Odessa, and Transnistria…….get it done!
