On Sunday morning, Russian missiles struck the Ukrainian training centre at Yavoriv (Ukraine). Threety-five were killed, and another 135 were injured.
This facility is approximately 65 miles from Rzeszow, Poland. It’s located ten minutes from the Polish frontier. These two locations are crucial. Rzeszow acts as the principal transit hub for NATO weaponry movement to Ukraine. We deployed Patriot missile batteries last week to secure Rzeszow Airport (NATO Sends Patriot Air Defense Missiles To Poland and Slovakia).
Russian missile attacks on Yavoriv firing station in L’viv increased the death toll to 35. 134 people were also injured. At least 30 missiles were launched by strategic bombers over Black and Azov Seas https://t.co/WXZYVFsEOK #Ukraine

Yavoriv, a large training center where US troops have been training Ukrainian soldiers for many years is an example of this. The Russians claim they killed a sh**-ton (unclear if that is an English or Metric sh**-ton) of “mercenaries.”
On Sunday, Russia’s Ministry of Defense issued a statement threatening more such attacks. “At these facilities, the Kyiv regime deployed a training center for foreign mercenaries before being sent to the areas of hostilities against Russian military personnel, as well as a storage base for weapons and equipment coming from foreign countries,” the statement said.
“As a result of the strike,” the statement added, “up to 180 foreign mercenaries and a large consignment of foreign weapons were destroyed. The destruction of foreign mercenaries who arrived on the territory of Ukraine will continue.”

The reports claim that 30 cruise missiles were launched by the Russians from strike aircrafts flying towards the Russian-occupied territory in Eastern Ukraine. Some of these missiles were shot down by the Ukrainians, they claim.
This attack, in my opinion, was intended to convey a message about NATO. We are now 17 days into Vladimir Putin’s planned 72-hour cakewalk. Russians deployed 120-130,000 troops in the region of operations. This has led to a standstill. Russian supply lines have been attacked by Ukrainian forces. Some Russian units are likely to be unable either to retreat or advance due lack of fuel and ammunition. NATO is continuing to flood Ukraine using top-of the-line weapons through Poland.
The Russians are no more happy about that than we were about the continuous flow of Russian arms into North Vietnam and on Saturday declared that NATO weapons shipments would be considered legitimate targets (NATO Weapons Shipments to Ukraine Are ‘Legitimate Targets,’ Russia Declares). A day later multiple missiles struck a large supply depot and training center that had been unharmed for nearly three weeks and is located in close proximity to Poland. You could call it a coincidence.
The Russians are pushing Joey SoftServe all around. In baseball parlance, they’ve just given him a brushback pitch. They’ve already bullied Biden into backing out of a transfer of fighter aircraft from Poland, Bulgaria, and Slovakia to Ukraine. Russians are likely to have been persuaded by their submissive behavior that was elicited from the White House with the threat to strike weapons shipments. They will launch missiles at the base that supplies materiel from Poland to Ukraine’s Army. This is the same place where US soldiers once trained the Army.
