Russian media say a blast hit a Russian military garrison in Knyaze-Volkonskoye-1 in Khabarovsk Krai, targeting Major General Azatbek Omurbekov, who commanded Russian troops in Bucha in 2022. One person was killed, several were wounded, and his condition remains unclear. #Russia

A massive plume of smoke from the burning oil refinery in Tuapse is visible from the Krasnaya Polyana mountain resort, located 105 km away. A state of emergency has been declared throughout the entire Tuapse district.

For the first time, no military vehicle column will take part in Russia’s May 9 parade, according to the Ministry of Defense.

“Due to the current operational situation, the military equipment column will not participate in this year’s parade,”

Speaking of 'innocents':

Bakhmut


Vovchansk


Chasiv Yar


Mariupol


Klishcheevka


Pokrovsk


Avdiyivka


Soledar



Still looking for the first Russian city to suffer anything even remotely similar to this.  Still waiting for the first mass grave to be located and dug up in Russia.  Still waiting to see the first hypersonic missile attack on a Russian school, hospital, or playground.  Or those FPV drone videos where Russian civilians are hunted down on the streets by drone operating sadists.  Watch four years of videos of average Russians talking about the 'Special Military Operation' [sic].  Every last one of them cheered this war on, stating that Ukrainians deserved to be wiped off the map.  Even the video above, from Tuapse in 2022.  Russians gathering in the street voicing their support of ridding the world of Ukrainian criminals, drug addicts, and nazis.  Yet now a few drones strike oil targets with the entire city left intact, and they somehow can't come to terms with why this is happening.  Innocents?  There is only one side here that is innocent.  And they currently have an invading army sitting on their soil committing atrocities against Ukrainian civilians day after day after day.

No, this isn't a 'both sides' situation.  Russia alone is the aggressor.  Russia alone is waging a war against a civilian population.  Russia alone is committing genocide.  And Russia alone can end this by withdrawing their troops from Ukraine.

And until that happens, Ukraine has two choices: 1) Continue to defend THEIR COUNTRY;  2) Cease to exist as a nation.

If the United States was faced with this choices, as an American, I know which choice I would make.

Yes the pictures are horrific. Of course Ukraine has the absolute right to defend their country.  I never insinuated otherwise. 

The attacks that Ukraine has experienced over decades has not just been from Russia.  Yes, I agree that Russia did escalate this existing conflict and that was Putin's decision.   However, there are Russian people as well as Ukrainian people that are suffering.

The overall number of estimated deaths in the war in Donbas from 6 April 2014 to 31 December 2021 was 14,200–14,400. This included about 6,500 pro-Russian separatist fighters, 4,400 Ukrainian fighters, and 3,404 civilians.   ...... in late August 2015, according to a reported leak by a Russian news site, Business Life (Delovaya Zhizn), 2,000 Russian soldiers had been killed in Ukraine by 1 February 2015

Again, I pray for the innocents on both sides. Both Russia and Ukraine have suffered mass casualties.

As for waiting for pictures of a Russian city that has been damaged or destroyed by Ukraine -- none to post.  I did a Google search and after inputing  'Russia' it changes it to 'Ukraine'. I find it interesting that with all the drones and bombings from Ukraine on Russia, that no damage has been done to Russia.

Again, yes Russia is the aggressor who started this particular conflict. Yes, Ukraine has the absolute right to defend itself. 

From my understanding Putin wants Ukraine to give up territory in order for this conflict to end. Putin feels entitled I suppose?

Putin needs to be stopped.  How?  By whom?   

So again, I pray that the conflict ends,  period.

Two thousand Russian soldiers INSIDE UKRAINE.  Let that sink in.  Russia started a war inside Donbas in 2014.  They alone are the instigators.  They alone are responsible for every Ukrainian death.

That's because Ukraine doesn't target civilians.  Again, thank you for proving my point.

From what Putin has actually said, he isn't interested in ending this conflict.  Period.


Quote from: libertybele on April 29, 2026, 11:51:24 am
Putin needs to be stopped.  How?  By whom?

Putin will stop only when he has no army left or no funds to fund one.  Ukraine is working on both.  All while Putin is using his army to kill Ukrainian civilians.

I pray it ends, too.  But I will not equate the two sides.  One side is right.  The other wrong.  And any resolution that results in Ukraine losing its sovereignty would be a travesty.  Because that would mean a continuation of the wholesale subjugation and destruction of the Ukrainian people.

Russia (Putin) has made no secret  about helping out the Iranian mullahs.

The Mi-17 is a more powerful version of the Mi-8 transport helicopter. There is a gunship version of it. The Mi-28 is a newer version of the Mi-24 attack helicopter.

Russian media report that the leaders of only four countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Slovakia - have agreed to attend the parade in Moscow. This is a sharp contrast to last year, when leaders from 27 countries, including China, Serbia, and Brazil, took part in the event.

Russia’s Largest Steelmaker Reports Fivefold Increase in Losses

Katherina Popilnichenko  |  Apr 30, 2026  |  22:40

Novolipetsk Steel (NLMK), Russia's largest steelmaker and one of the top 20 globally, аnnounced a significant loss for the first quarter of 2026.

The facility reported a net deficit of 5.9 billion rubles ($64.1M), nearly five times higher than the 1.23 billion rubles recorded during the same period last year, according to The Moscow Times on April 30.

The plant, which dates back to the 1930s and has a production capacity of 17 million tons of liquid steel annually, saw its revenue drop by 10% to 145.57 billion rubles ($1.58B). Operating losses reached 6.1 billion rubles ($66.3M), marking a 3.2-fold increase compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Industry experts from Russian Alfa Bank noted that market conditions for metal producers are continuing to decline. Other major producers also reported sharp declines.

Severstal lost nearly all of its profit in the first quarter, while Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) saw its steel production hit a 10-year low and reported a net loss of 14.9 billion rubles ($161.9M) for the previous year.

Kirill Chuiko, an analyst at BCS, stated, “The Russian steel industry is entering a difficult period, and this trend may continue for many years.” He added, “Without further state support, there is a risk of returning to the conditions of the early 2000s.”

Russia’s domestic demand for steel has fallen by 15% as the economy contracted for the first quarter in three years.  .  .  .
