The Russians initially planned to reach Kiev in 18 hours. The occupiers failed to fulfill the planned plan.

According to The New York Times , the invasion of Ukraine was announced to the Russian military a few hours before it began. They were given a simple order – to follow the car and reach Kyiv in 18 hours.

According to the published schedule of the invaders, the first cars were supposed to leave Belarus and arrive near Kyiv earlier than the Russian command determined.VIDEO OF THE DAYplay video

One of the Russian military said that they could not even come close to fulfilling the planned plan. The fact is that the military equipment turned out to be too heavy and simply bogged down, as a result, the Russians spent more than a day to cross the border with Ukraine. At the same time, it is indicated that representatives of the OMON and SOBR went in the first column.

The command of the invaders provided for the resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but they planned an almost unhindered 24-hour forced march over a distance of 400 kilometers. The Russians were to dig in about two hours from Kyiv and block off the Ukrainian defenders, who they believed were to advance from the South and East.

Later, the situation only worsened for the occupiers – attacks by Ukrainian soldiers, hundreds of wounded and dead occupiers, and destroyed Russian equipment.

Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine – what is known

Early in the morning of February 24, 2022, the Russian army attacked the peacefully sleeping cities of Ukraine. Russian barbarians bombed populated areas from aircraft, shot and raped Ukrainians, and robbed houses.

The invaders managed to approach Kyiv for about 20 kilometers, but their success in the war ended there. Fierce battles and resistance of the local population did their job and, having been defeated, the Russians left their positions, leaving behind crippled destinies and devastation.

Ukrainians have been fighting the enemy for almost 10 months now. During this time, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it was possible to destroy about 97 thousand 690 people .

  1. All Vladolf ever had that was effective were the damned missiles and that continues today. I’m afraid it will continue until Ukraine can match the distance of those missiles and takes out their carriers. Until then we are left taking them out with rifles and a few ground based air defense systems. I wish we could get our drones to block the paths of these nazi tools of genocide but that’s probably the future.

    • Need to hit the oil pumping hub at Samara. That is only about 500 miles away and would cripple all oil distribution in Russia and make the distribution of oil products to the military and domestically questionable. Go after all the refineries and oil and gas distribution infrastructure as well. The German Army ground to a halt in the fall of 1944 as a result of the anti-oil campaign. The same thing can be done to Russia.
