Don’t be surprised if we see more Russian heads rolling down the streets in the next few days.
Reports surfaced early this morning that Ukraine hit a Russian vessel in the Black Sea.
Ukraine now claims that the warship Orst is burning.
Direct Hit
Ukraine’s Armed Forces sent out this video to document the hit…

It also sent out a tweet documenting the kills and destruction of Russian equipment since the start of this war…
Загальні бойові втрати🇷🇺 з 24.02 по 23.03 орієнтовно склали:
особового складу/personnel-близько/about 15800 осіб
танків/tanks‒530 од
бойових броньованих машин/APV‒1597 од
артилерійських систем/artillery systems–280 од
РСЗВ/MLRS-82 од
засоби ППО/Anti-aircraft warfare systems-47 од pic.twitter.com/ixOA5HGC9P— Inside the Armed Forces of Ukraine (@Inside_the_AFU) March 24, 2022
If those numbers are accurate, Ukraine continues to have a gaudy 10:1 kill ratio against Russian troops.
Additionally, that loss of equipment is staggering when you consider most experts expected this conflict to be over in just a few days.
Yet, after four weeks of fighting, Putin has still not taken Kyiv and does not appear to be close to doing so.
The Russian advance has been slowed and the latest reports stated that Russia’s fighting force in Ukraine has dipped below 90 percent again.
Believe it or not, Ukraine could prevail if the report of Russian supplies running out is accurate.
We can only hope that Putin’s desperation does not lead to the use of nuclear weapons, as some are now fearing.
President Zelensky surely recognizes this, having recently offered to commit to not joining NATO if Putin will agree to peace.
That is a significant concession by Zelensky and one of the reasons this conflict started in the first place.
Putin has no reason (other than his wounded pride) to avoid coming to the table to sign a peace treaty at this point.
This war must be ended. Then Putin and his generals must be brought to justice for the war crimes they have committed during this conflict.
