While Ukraine’s raids on Russian border infrastructure caused disruption, Moscow’s response was sweeping—igniting the heart of government in Kiev and dismantling critical energy and logistics nodes across the country.
Over the last two days, Ukraine’s attempts to strike deep into Russia included drone attacks on critical infrastructure—pipeline pumping stations in Bryansk and attacks on Russian border settlements.

These raids prompted Russian air-defense responses that reportedly intercepted dozens of fixed-wing UAVs in the early morning hours.

Russia’s counter-strikes, however, were far broader. From evening on September 7 into the early hours of September 8, waves of strike drones, glide bombs (UMPK kits), and ballistic missiles were unleashed across Ukraine.
The most symbolic strike hit Kiev: a blaze engulfed the Cabinet of Ministers building.

Mayor Klitschko confirmed the fire was likely triggered by the downing of a drone—making it the first direct damage to Ukraine’s highest-level civilian authority building.
Beyond politics, the strikes targeted logistics and energy hubs. In Kremenchuk, a “Geran” strike damaged the Kryukov rail bridge over the Dnipro, a key artery linking rail lines and oil infrastructure, causing rerouting and lengthy repairs.

At the Dnipro airport, Russian Iskander-M missiles and Geran-2 drones destroyed the aircraft hangar, support equipment, ILS systems, and the control building, crippling Ukraine’s aviation logistics and ground service capabilities.

Shortly after, a devastating drone strike hit the Tripilska thermal power station near Kiev.

Twenty-five UAVs bombed the substation, coal-feed systems, 250-meter stack, and the main generator hall. Two energy blocks (around 400 MW) were knocked offline, threatening grid stability for multiple Ukrainian regions and forcing emergency load redistribution.
On the front lines, in Kramatorsk, glide bombs hit former ATO command quarters, and near Novodonetske Geran-2s struck the 14th Operational Brigade and Marine Battalion staging areas. Russian reports cite multiple casualties and equipment losses, including armaments, vehicles, generators, and warehouses—degrading Ukraine’s operational reserve and logistical autonomy in Donbas.
Collectively, these actions underscore a methodical Russian campaign: from government nerve centers to energy and logistics hubs, from transportation choke points to frontline reserves. Ukraine’s retaliatory logistics attacks, while disruptive, pale beside the depth, scale, and concentrated focus of Russia’s response. The strikes of September 7–8 show not only symbolic reach but also the ability to systematically dismantle the infrastructure underpinning Ukraine’s defense.

russia is now increasing its aggressiveness even hitting a ukrainian government building ,more and more territory is being gained even ukrainian land to be used as a buffer zone while the uk and eu go into temper tantrums like little children.
ukraines highest level of war criminals reside in washington. i thought that was obvious ? you are maybe confused by russias “root causes”, which they try to keep as close to their nose as possible 😂 what a waste of time those “sarmat”, “satan” and whatever they are called was. do they actually work ? then they represent a unique opportunity to get rid of “us”. you think that 200 peoples extinct should be enough, but now they are after the jews.

ukraine is not a nation. it may have been at one time. the nato war monopolies will toss it like a used condom. but still profit from its continued rape.
