Moscow Will Continue Bombing Ukraine - Russian UN Envoy
Source: The Kiev Post
Vasily Nebenzya, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations, has said that Russia aims to impair Ukraines military potential in order to force it to negotiate on what he describes as more realistic terms.
Speaking at the latest UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2022, summoned due to Russias massive strikes of Ukraines infrastructure including critical energy facilities, he openly admitted why Russia is bombing Ukraine.
One of the goals of the special military operation is to undermine the Ukrainian armys combat capabilities. And it will be attained by military means until the Kyiv regime takes a realistic position, which will make it possible to discuss and try to settle those problems, which have prompted us to launch the special military operation, he said.
Claiming that Western military aid is flooding the country, and describing the calls for Kyiv to defeat Russia as reckless, Nebenzya emphasized that Russian forces are deliberately bombing Ukraines infrastructure facilities.

(32,716 posts)We all know how it ended for Hitler. They cant bomb the Ukrainian ppl into submission. Its been tried in other wars and proven to be ineffective.
Gawd these ppl are brazen, you attack a sovereign nation and want them to come to the negotiating table with what you call a more reasonable settlement. F..k u!

Maybe they ARE & they're just trying to make as big an impact as possible before running out?

(9,958 posts)I have believed from the beginning that nothing will stop Putin except force greater than his. That force is NATO aiding Ukraine. Once Iran is resupplying Russia, they will just keep bombing every hospital, school, power plant, apartment building, etc., until most of Ukraines cities are rubble and millions have died of injuries or lack of heat. I just do not see how NATO leaders can allow this to happen when their more sophisticated air support and missile defense systems would better protect Ukraine.

(14,165 posts)And I also do not believe that Putin is "running out of missiles" anytime soon. He is restocking with supplies from Iran, and building new missiles. The software circuits that the west is sanctioning, that they need for production, are easily replaced by Iranian chips, and other countries supplies that either trade to them openly or covertly.
Its wishful thinking that does no good. Other than to cover NATOs lazy ass.
No one has of yet explained to me how a NATO contribution of air defense on the scale of what it would be if say.....France or Germany was invaded, would create some kind of doomsday escalation of the war. Escalated by who?.....Belarus?. Who in the world, of any significance, would be so enraged by NATO properly helping Ukraine defend itself, that they would send their own troops for Putin to use as more cannon fodder in his hopeless war that he cannot ever win?
I don't get it. Other than NATO countries still are under the belief that any gain of a free Ukraine anytime soon, would not be worth the monetary and military contribution to achieve it in a quicker scaled up way. Which I think is a huge mistake, and will only cost them more later on.

There is something really creepy about a man dressed in a suit at the UN matter-of-factly discussing bombing another country, as if he was talking about trade deals. Meanwhile, everyone knows the horrors and atrocities that are happening. You'd think they were playing a game of chess.

(48,967 posts)At that point, any attack on Ukraine, missiles or artillery, should be met with a strike at the originating point however deep in ruZZia.
Maybe.
If ruZZia (Putin's slave) doesn't get the point one way they need to get it another. But I'm not a geopolitical expert, nor can I predict how Putin's slaves would react.

(70,451 posts)... allies and he is admitting to war crimes too. "Nebenzya emphasized that Russian forces are deliberately bombing Ukraines infrastructure facilities." This is no different from the Russian attacks on train stations, hospitals, schools, and homes and in the
end it will just strengthen the Ukrainian's fight to kill or throw out every Russian invader including in the Crimea.
I would not blame the Ukrainians if they blew up the Kremlin. They did nothing wrong except fighting for
their own country, lands, families, and kicking Russia's army ass so badly that all Putin can is launch drones,
aircraft, and missiles from their own territory.
Why do Republicans get along so well with Russian criminals?
Vasily Nebenzya & Nikki Haley.
