After Ukrainian drones attacked the Russian strategic bombers and – most importantly – after Kiev’s intel services collapsed a bridge on top of a civilian passenger train, everyone has been waiting for some major retaliation from Moscow.
A few days ago, a report arose that President Vladimir Putin’s threatened retaliation is likely to be a significant, multi-pronged strike, according to U.S. officials.
Reuters reported:
“The officials spoke on condition of anonymity. They did not detail Russia’s expected targets nor elaborate on intelligence matters. The first official said Moscow’s attack would be ‘asymmetrical’, meaning that its approach and targeting would not mirror Ukraine’s strike last weekend against Russian warplanes.
[…] A Western diplomatic source said that while Russia’s response may have started, it would likely intensify with strikes against symbolic Ukrainian targets like government buildings, in an effort to send a clear message to Kyiv.
Another, senior, Western diplomat anticipated a further devastating assault by Moscow. ‘It will be huge, vicious and unrelenting’, the diplomat said.”

Sputnik reported:
“The Russian military launched a group strike overnight targeting defense industry facilities in Kiev, the Russian Defense Ministry stated.
The strikes also hit Ukrainian command posts, troop deployments, military airfield infrastructure, and fuel depots. All designated targets were successfully struck.”

Lord Bebo reported:
“Kyiv and the capital region became the center of the main night strike today.
In total, 5 Iskander, 2 Iskander-K cruise missiles, and about [two] hundred Geranium drones flew at it.
One of the strikes was at the Artema plant, which specializes in the production of military products, as seen in the video.
Also, the targets of the strikes were energy facilities and other military industrial enterprises or warehouses.”

The Ukrainian capital is shrouded in smoke, and the locals are urged to close their windows.
Fuel storage facilities around Boryspil were reportedly hit generating intense.
Needless to say, the Kiev regime is telling the world that Russia targeted civilian buildings, which does not make any sense, since ‘apartments don’t burn for days. Fuel storage facilities and factories do’.
An attack with dozens of missiles, over 200 drones would not generate a small number of casualties (Kiev says two in Odessa, zero in Kiev) if it were targeting civilian areas.
For a comparison, Ukrainian services collapsed a bridge in Russia’s Bryansk over a civilian train: one explosion, 7 dead, over 30 injured.
So, an attack with literally hundreds of exploding impacts, if directed against civilians, would result a a massive number of dead and wounded.
Russia took out a British building in Kiev!
Previously it was used as a visa center.
Now it was used for something else, unknown what the Brits did there. But it was worth strike for the Russians.
