Usually getting a notification that strategic bombers took off from Olenya meant setting an alarm in 3 hours (it’s usually at night too) to go to shelter. They take off, fly to Caspian sea, and each launches a few dozen guided rockets at Ukraine.
There were almost 200 confirmed take offs from Olenya. So basically every week they have been bombing Ukrainian cities with guided rockets.
And that, ladies and gentlemen (and everyone else), may be entire Russian strategic bomber fleet, one that has been terrorizing Ukrainian cities for years now.
Every time they got their ass kicked - like when Kerch bridge was blown up or Moskva was sunk - you’d be sure to expect a bombing run at night. That was their temper tantrum weapon, and one that simply terrorized our people, Kyiv and outskirts had it really bad last few weeks. And now it may be gone.
It’s funny in a morbid way, because to find “the root cause of conflict” Putin has to just take a look at a mirror, not look for them in Ukraine. Yet they’re very insistent that “root causes if conflict” should be removed as part of any peace agreement.
And it’s never been truer. Doesn’t even matter who sits in White House, strictly Ukrainian business that had to pass through as little ears as possible.
