War Day 24, March 19

THIS is how Russia will most quickly conquer Ukraine. Not bombing civilians, eww. You destroy Ukraine's troops, its weapons arsenals, you win. I guarantee you this was another attack from a hypersonic aircraft flying in Russia.








After days of a slowed offensive, Russian forces have dealt several blows to Ukraine’s military over the last 48 hours, destroying a marine barracks in the southern city of Mykolaiv, taking out a large underground weapons depot in the west and moving into the center of the besieged port city of Mariupol.

Rescuers on Saturday were combing through what remained of the headquarters of the 36th Ukrainian Naval Infantry Brigade in Mykolaiv, which was hit by a rocket a day earlier as marines slept. As many as 40 marines were killed, a senior Ukrainian military official said, and there were indications that the death toll could be much higher.
