A Russian military lieutenant colonel was killed in a car explosion in St. Petersburg, the local news outlet Fontanka reported Thursday.

The blast occurred around 10 a.m. local time near a supermarket in the Sushary neighborhood. The officer’s wife was also in the car and badly injured, Fontanka reported.

Preliminary reports indicate that an IED exploded inside the vehicle.

Law enforcement authorities did not immediately comment on the incident.

I’m still waiting for Writteng the African propagandists to explain why Russian generals keep dropping like flies. 😂

What happened to Putin’s “special military operation” and all the talk about taking Kyiv? Years later, Kyiv is still there, Ukraine is still fighting, and Russia keeps losing soldiers, equipment, and commanders, had to import North Koreans.

And somehow people are still here hyping Putin like everything is going according to plan. 😂 A confused dictator dragging millions into a war with no clear end, at the same constantly threatening nuclear weapons whenever things don’t go his way.

What a disaster. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦

It's war. Just war.

Both sides could have settled this peacefully, but no...

E be like say 1 day = 1 year in Putin's world... 3 days special operation....
Re: Car Explosion In St. Petersburg Kills Russian Military Officer(photos) by princeliquidray: 11:58am On Aug 27
This was supposed to be a brief military operation to ourst zelensky's government but Putin has proven to be all bark and little bite.

Zelensky is making Putin look like a clown
Re: Car Explosion In St. Petersburg Kills Russian Military Officer(photos) by princeliquidray: 11:58am On Aug 27
So putin can't topple zelensky's government after how many years of fighting.

A big Shame.

Some people are mocking Russia in this war. You guys have forgotten how Americans and the entire nato failed to beat ragtag Afghanistan. Or their failures in Vietnam. By the way, men are becoming extinct in Ukraine.
Re: Car Explosion In St. Petersburg Kills Russian Military Officer(photos) by Mattswaggz: 11:59am On Aug 27
Resorting to terrorist attack wouldn't change the comedian fate nor would it take away Russia's advantage......military men losing their lives on the battlefield should be expected on a norms.....the victor is the one who achieves all their aims and objectives or at least 80% of those aims and objectives at the end of the day and so far, Russia has achieved and maintained that advantage.

No NATO membership and no chance of NATO membership for Ukraine.

Donbas is gone and gone forever from the look of things.....so attacking bridges, refineries, personnel's etc wouldn't change anything about that.
Re: Car Explosion In St. Petersburg Kills Russian Military Officer(photos) by monarck: 12:00pm On Aug 27
So resorting to terrorism and blowing up infrastructure like bridges is winning? The current regime in Ukraine has to go. It is essentially a terrorist regime now.

This is not a Terrorist attack

It's just a post visit reminder.

If it's in DC, then it's definitely a terrorist attack.

It's a great story – a thrilling victory for Russia!
Re: Car Explosion In St. Petersburg Kills Russian Military Officer(photos) by princeliquidray: 12:03pm On Aug 27
Ukraine is just a stone throw from Russia.
Afghanistan is far away.
Russia not being able to handle a close neighbor is a shame.

The winning side doesn't beg for peace....the one moving around with the begging plates should be the one begging for peace.
Re: Car Explosion In St. Petersburg Kills Russian Military Officer(photos) by princeliquidray: 12:04pm On Aug 27
That was the aim of the war to topple zelensky and after 4 years Putin have failed to achieve that. It's a shame.

Putin had better look for an indirect way of ending this war, because from the look of things Russian would not able to topple the Ukrainian regime

Those weren't his primary objectives.

They were. He considered Zelensky a Western puppet. Putin has failed in his objectives.

The question still remains? How long can Ukraine hold on?

Y they are not reclaiming territories and seems they have accepted their faith. Russia seems to just be holding the line till Ukraine is out of options.

Congratulations to you for being happy on behalf Ukraine openly while mourning with them in silence when large numbers of the body bags sent to their capital. grin
Re: Car Explosion In St. Petersburg Kills Russian Military Officer(photos) by princeliquidray: 12:12pm On Aug 27
This war can go on for the next decade and Ukraine will still stand strong.

Russia just exposed their incapalities in war.
Simple power take over from a neighbouring country is what they have been fighting for without any success in sight
