The Russian military delivered a “mass strike” against Ukrainian energy infrastructure and gas production facilities overnight, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on March 31.
In a brief statement, the ministry said that “air-based high precision long-range weaponry” and suicide drones were used in the strike.
“As a result of the strike, the work of defense industry enterprises for the manufacture and repair of weapons, military equipment and ammunition was disrupted,” the ministry said. “All goals of the strike were achieved. All the assigned targets were engaged.”
Over the night of March 30-31 Ukrainian media reported Russian strikes on the southern regions of Odessa and Kherson as well as on the western regions of Lvov and Ivano-Frankivsk. In addition, blasts were reported in the capital, Kiev.
Kh-101 cruise missiles launched from Tu-95MS strategic bombers and Geran-1/2 suicide drones were reportedly used in the mass strike.
The Russian MoD announced in the same briefing that the Operational-Tactical and Army aviation along with the Missile Troops and Artillery carried out strikes against the Voznesensk Air Base in the southern Ukrainian region of Nikolayevka overnight.
Three Su-25 close air support jets of the Ukrainian Air Force were destroyed in the pinpoint strikes, according to the ministry.
Earlier this month, the Russian military resumed large-scale strikes against Ukraine after a series of of provocations by Kiev, including dozens of strikes with rockets, missiles and suicide drones on Russian territory as well as cross-border attacks.
Kiev forces sustained heavy losses as a result of recent Russian strikes. The power grid in Ukraine was especially badly affected.

i heard from another forum that russia the final russian ‘war’ offensive against the nazis will be in april. by may there will be a vitory parade planned in the streets of odessa and kharkov
really?? have you not heard of the rasputiza? the cloying mud that hampers operations in spring and autumn. the final offensive will not be until end of may and should see all the oblasts liberated by the end of the summer fighting season.
yeah, hitler and napoleon also heard about the rasputica, but didn’t stop the russians annihalating both!!! you know very little about godly russian history, geography and topography, yet here you are commenting like some privileged cnn commentator!!!
the allies will retaliate hard against the orcs who re-elected pooh-tin.
see orcs run see orcs hide see orcs scream see orcs die
heheheh
orc? what is it? i only know arc
just to clarify your point, are you saying that the russian elections were an expression of the will of the russian people?
the elections in russia were fair and 100% transparent. observers from all corners of the planet have been there and registered the facts. as opposed to ukraine which does not even have elections.
the will of the russian people and half the ukrainian people. the other half prefer hitler and biden as gestapo lawn jockey.
kinda funny when you think about it. neoconnivers tried and tried to split russia into pieces through war in ukraine and ended up splitting ukraine into pieces instead.
by golly, they call that karma, i think.
pffft. you think too much of your ‘allies’.
see banderites run, see banderites hide, see banderites scream see banderites exterminated see crocus shooting gallery executed!!! die bitch, then the world will be a much better place!!! 😘😘😘😘

in new proposed peace talks, zelensky tries throwing crimea, donetsk and lugansk at the hungry bear chasing him in hopes of slowing him down. bear laughs, “already ate those. you’re next, my little terrorist fake president”.
clown can’t throw something that he does not have. crimea, donetsk and lugansk have been long ago diggested by the bear. he could accept kharkov and odessa as a deal. nothing less than that.
i can only imagine the chaos in the western engineering departments with all the women, iranians, afghans, ethiopians, gays, etc. actually, you only need one of these people, and you are finished.
iranians are quite smart engineers. the rest for playskool
boj za oslobodenie ukrajiny s pod jarma fašizmu ktorý tam priviezli usa a ich spojenec eu sa začal dostávať do konečnej fázy. ruské sily sa zrejme pripravujú na rozhodujúci útok na pozície banderovských fašistov. nasvedčuje tomu aj likvidácia zahraničných vojakov na území ukrajiny. ich eliminácia sa v poslednej dobe zintenzívnila. to samé o niečom vypovedá. svetu mier!!!

russian massive attacks yesterday destroy ukie jets radar—our lgbt patriot cannot stop pygmy spear
patriot pretty good for old scuds. 1 in 3 hit rate guaranteed.
the stats given put by the russian mod are ridiculous. they say the russians have destroyed over 500 ukrainian jets since 2022, but ukraine had less than 250 jets before 2022 and received about a 100 aircraft since. russia has therefore either massively exaggerated ukraine’s losses or destroyed phantom planes.
thanks for playing, ghost of kiev.
they didn’t say jets, doofus. they said ‘aircraft’, you know – things that fly in the air with people in them?
pedo trolls are desperate after the stupid elites attack. getting more stupid by the hour. russia marches in the paris with it’s army and napoleon abdicated. russia prevents paris from being sacked. world and macron scum.
destroying the power grid across ukraine especially in industrial bases or areas where the regime depend on those resources to function will at some point cripple the regime’s ability to continue their attacks certainly at any sizeable level or current output. these targeted attacks at the heart of the kiev junta will eventually pay off!
