Satellite and Drone Images Show Russia Invading and Ukraine Resisting
Images from commercial satellites and Ukraine’s shrinking forces show Russian troops advancing on major cities as Ukrainians put up a fierce resistance.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been sharing a stream of videos and images (including some that are quite graphic) on Twitter and Facebook highlighting its troops fighting back anti Vladimir Putin’s invading forces.
The below video shows footage apparently shot from a army command center of a drone strike on a Russian convoy explained as being to the west of Kyiv:
And this video shot on the groundless shows the remains of destroyed Russian tanks outside of Kyiv:
A custom satellite spotted smoke rising from an air base in Ukraine as Russian forces invaded the country and customary Soviet state on Thursday.
Planet, which operates a constellation of over 200 Earth-observing satellites, shared before and after images of Chuhuiv Airbase, with the latter showing shadowy smoke rising from facilities at the base.
Chuhuiv was once a Soviet Air Force base and has long been a area of military importance. It lies outside the major Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, a short distance to the south of the Russian-Ukrainian border.
Pictures captured by Maxar satellites spinal in the week show Russia building up military resources depressed Ukraine’s border prior to the invasion.
Vladimir Putin announced late Wednesday that Russia was twitch a “special military operation” in Ukraine under the pretense of responding to Ukrainian aggression.
Explosions have been seen in the country’s largest cities and hundreds of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and Ukrainian civilians, including some children, have reportedly already been killed in the conflict.
