Russian vehicles line highways out of Kyiv in 'tank graveyards'

Ukraine has taken back the 'whole Kyiv region', the country's deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar said today. Maliar said: 'Irpin, Bucha, Gostomel and the whole Kyiv region were liberated from the invader.'

Some darn good pictures there, TB. Those who were in the Russian vehicles when they were hit were most likely burnt to a crisp! War is Hell!

My concern now would be that Putin/Russia would use tactical nuclear weapons to finish off the total destruction of the major cities of Ukraine. They could be evacuating to lessen their troop damage and exposure. I know I could be called paranoid, but Putin does not like losing at any level.

I continue to be aghast at western media and some in political circles who continue to soft pedal the war in Ukraine. Oh! Ukraine struck a fuel dump inside the Russian border. That may hinder peace negotiations??? Ukrainian civilians with hands and feet tied shot in the back of the head. Hospitals, schools and senior centers hit by Russian artillery and missiles! We need to investigate this as possible war crimes??? Syrian terrorist coming to fight for the Russians and the only thing we can do about it is wring our hands.

I like what Biden said... "I could care less about what Putin thinks!" To another question:

President Joe Biden snapped at Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Monday, responding to the journalist’s question by saying: “Why should I tell you?”
Doocy had asked what the U.S. would do specifically in response to a possible chemical weapons attack by Russia on Ukraine.
Biden said Russia’s use of such weapons would trigger a “significant response.”
Doocy replied: “What does that mean?”
“I’m not going to tell you,” Biden answered. “Why would I tell you? You got to be silly.”
“The world wants to know?” Doocy offered.
“The world wants to know a lot of things,” Biden retorted. “I’m not telling what the response would be, then Russia knows the response.”

We could only imagine if it were Trump anxious to divide up the world with Vlad in the hopes of getting a hotel deal in Moscow! Gag response!

Totally agree...the world will rue they day that they did not stand up to Russia.

Yes, they are, in spades. Huge mass grave in Bucha. Evidence of atrocities everywhere. On a panel show on CNN this AM, one panelist made the statement that Putin had spent months whipping up the Russian population to want blood and now, he has nothing to show them...

The narrative that this is Putin’s war and the good Russian people don’t support it is IMO a load of manure

Faced with foreign pressure, Russians rally around Putin, poll shows.

Eighty-three percent of Russians said they approved of Mr. Putin’s actions, up from 69 percent in January, according to an independent pollster in Moscow.

After seeing the pictures of the genocide in Bucha, how can anyone continue to say that the removal of Putin may be bad. Somehow, he has to go!

Images of dead civilians in Ukraine shake the world
"This is genocide."
That's how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the shocking images of at least 20 civilian men's bodies strewn across the street in Bucha, northwest of the capital of Kyiv, following the withdrawal of Russian forces from the area.

Accounts of alleged Russian atrocities, including the horrific images of dead civilians captured by Agence France-Presse, are emerging as its forces retreat from areas near Kyiv following a failed bid to encircle the capital.

CNN team observes a mass grave site. A mass grave has been discovered in the town of Bucha, CNN found. CNN saw at least a dozen bodies in body bags piled inside the grave. Some were already partially covered.

Bodies were first buried in the grave, on the grounds of the Church of St. Andrew and Pyervozvannoho All Saints, in the first days of the war, residents told CNN. Around 150 people, mostly civilians killed in the fighting around the town, are buried there, residents said. The mayor of Bucha said in public remarks on Saturday that there could be up to 300 victims buried on site. CNN was unable to independently verify those numbers or the identities and nationalities of those buried in the grave.
