Ukrainian Escalation
As most who are following the conflict in Ukraine know, on New Year’s Day (12:02 AM to be precise), “Ukraine” fired six HIMARS missiles at a Russian troop facility in Donetsk. Some 80+ troops were killed according to the Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD). Kiev claimed that some 400 Russian soldiers might have been killed. This has been hailed in the western media as a great Ukrainian victory and proof of the fairy tale that Ukraine is about to overrun the Russians.
