An operation by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has hit “more than 40” Russian bombers at air bases “in the rear of the Russian Federation,” a source in the agency told the Kyiv Independent on June 1.

“Enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia — this is the result of a special operation by the SBU,” the source said.

Video provided by the source shows what appears to be a row of heavy bomber aircraft on fire at an undisclosed location.

    Not just big, it has plenty of towns and villages abandoned, which weren’t abandoned for centuries before. There are growing populations of brown bears and various fish and what not in Tver oblast, or so I’ve heard.

    What Russia definitely doesn’t need is more territory, but, obviously, territory is not all Ukraine has, it also has people, and I think Russia’s leadership was after more slaves.
