Drone ukraine

Ukrainian commandos have got Russian villain Vladimir Putin running scared after revealing their new long-distance Kamikaze drones capable of infiltrating the motherland and causing chaos.

The resultant explosion caused a large fire that burned at insane temperatures for hours.

The new Kamikaze drones can fly for hundreds of miles with no operator and are so small they are able to bypass Russian air defences. In fact, due to their inbuilt GPS systems, all the Ukrainians need to do is set the target and let them go. It's thought that the drones will be capable of causing millions … [Read more...] about Putin worried after Ukraine’s new long-distance Kamikaze drones cause chaos

Alors que l'OTAN a promis un soutien indéfectible à l'Ukraine, sur le terrain, l'armée ukrainienne fait face à d'importantes difficultés. Au moins 17 personnes ont été tuées lors de frappes sur des immeubles de la région d'Odessa, dans le sud de l'Ukraine, selon Kyiv.

‘With the attack on Ukraine, we have entered a new era,” announced the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, back in February. Declaring the Russian invasion a Zeitenwende – a turning point – his bold words seemed to usher in a new age of German confidence and decision-making. war in Ukraine , arguing that it misses “the big issues” such as “our future relationship with Russia”. He also called the idea that it was obvious who was the perpetrator and who the victim in the Ukraine war a “eurocentric” one, and urged caution regarding Ukrainian EU membership: “Being attacked,” Plötner argued, “does not automatically improve a state’s adherence to the rule of law”. With such differing voices in his inner circle, all eyes are on Scholz. Yet the chancellor’s own instincts seem to collide with new ideas. He was certainly quick to row back on Plötner’s remarks, arguing in parliament the next day that a partnership with “Putin’s aggressive, imperialist Russia is unimaginable in the … [Read more...] about Germany must solve its identity crisis before it’s too late for Ukraine

It had once exemplified Ukraine ’s pride in those who have served under its flag, helping wounded soldiers returning from the frontlines. Today, all that remains of the veterans’ rehabilitation centre in war-scarred Borodyanka is skeletal pillars. A direct hit from a Russian tank shell left behind what is now a ruined shell, surrounded by blossoming poppies. Ukraine’s government, however, is being supported by two British charities not just to rebuild, but to turn the facility into a world-leading institution for soldiers left with the devastating after-effects of frontline service. The Ukrainian Veterans’ Rehabilitation Centre was destroyed in early March as Moscow’s forces attacked the town, which lies 40km to the north of Kyiv. Two employees were killed and civilians were buried alive as entire residential apartment blocks were razed to the ground during Moscow’s aborted attempt to advance on the capital. Russian forces briefly occupied the town before their … [Read more...] about Ukraine vows to rebuild wounded heroes centre destroyed by Russian shelling

After witnessing the first two weeks of the war in Ukraine , I went back to the region of Kyiv a month later, to find a very different atmosphere. Life was slowly resuming in the Ukrainian capital following the retreat of Russian troops from the region only a fortnight earlier. I knew the sight of people walking the streets again, and the bright beds of tulips blooming in Maidan Square would contrast starkly with what awaited me on the outskirts of the city. I had come back to document alleged war crimes in the area. The scale of destruction was startling. What used to be peaceful suburbs and villages had been turned into heaps of ruins, behind which lay the open wounds of those who had lived through weeks of horror. Located at the gates if the capital, the town of Irpin stands as a symbol of Ukrainian resistance to the Russian offensive. This is where I met Sasha, a 29 year old construction worker. He walked me through the nightmare he had endured in his … [Read more...] about Ukraine war: Survivors describe Russian army atrocities in the outskirts of Kyiv

Detonationen, Rauchwolken und Sirenengeheul über Kiew - so begann vor drei Monaten am 24. Februar der russische Angriff auf die Ukraine. Zehntausende Soldaten strömten zeitgleich von Norden, Süden und Osten aus ins Land. Doch der als militärische "Sonderoperation" von Russland gestartete Blitzkrieg geriet schnell ins Stocken. Ukrainische Truppen stoppten den Vormarsch und blockierten eine kilometerlange, gigantische Panzerkolonne in Richtung Kiew. Selenskyj: "Die nächsten Kriegswochen werden schwierig" Reise durch das Unaussprechliche: Auf der Spur der Gräueltaten in der Ukraine Moskau verdoppelte seine Anstrengungen und beschoss unablässig militärische Ziele und zivile Infrastrukturen, was zu zahlreichen Opfern führte und eine Massenflucht der Zivilbevölkerung aus den umkämpften Gebieten auslöste.

"L'opération spéciale" décidée par Vladimir Poutine a démarré il y a trois mois. Cette invasion de l'Ukraine a révélé des défaillances de l'armée russe et mis en avant la résistance ukrainienne, soutenue par les pays occidentaux. Le 24 février 2022. Des dizaines de milliers de soldats russes postés à la frontière depuis plusieurs semaines, déferlent sur le pays. Les avions de combats et les chars franchissent la frontière, mais, après plusieurs semaines de combat, échouent à prendre Kyiv. Une image restera, celle de cette colonne de blindés russes longue de plusieurs kilomètres, stoppée dans son avancée vers la capitale. Dans son offensive, Moscou a ciblé de nombreuses bases militaires, ainsi que des infrastructures civiles, provoquant la mort de nombreuses personnes, et entraînant un exode massif de la population pour, finalement, peu d'avancées stratégiques. Kherson, dans le sud, sera la seule cité majeure à tomber avant Marioupol, ville portuaire, conquise en mai … [Read more...] about Ukraine : trois mois d’une guerre qui devait être “éclair”
