Russian troops on March 27 attacked Kharkiv, killing a 59-year-old man and injuring 19 people, including four children. This was the first time since 2022 that Russian troops used a glide air bomb, reportedly a new-type UMPB D-30 munition, to strike the city.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, located just over 30 kilometers south of the Russian border, faces near-daily attacks.
Only within the last month, Kharkiv has been struck around ten times with missiles, drones, and now air bombs, suffering from severe damage to civilian infrastructure, as well as having an increase in the number of casualties among locals.
“And these attacks will continue,” Victor Kevlyuk, expert at the Centre for Defense Strategies, told the Kyiv Independent.
President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the West provide more air defense systems to Ukraine, following Russia’s attack on the city.
These fucking moron blyats haven’t bothered to game this out, have they. What happens if they take over all of Ukraine? What, they think shit’s gonna be fucking sunshine and chipmunks? Fuckbrains think they won’t face a Vietnam or Afghanistan?

Honestly, I don’t think they would. They wouldn’t have complete control, but I don’t think the Ukrainian people would mount an insurgency either. Sure, there would be nationalist separatists, but if Russia took over the government they’d be the military, the police, and the FSB doing FSB (i.e. KGB) things.
And for those last 3 words I need the US of a to not put boots on the ground. Maybe that’s what Russia wants us to think though.
On the other hand, Russia shot down one of their own fighters today, so there’s that.
