Kiev Says Cannot Shoot Down Ballistic, Supersonic Missiles; WaPo Says Kiev May Retreat From Bakhmut (Alexander Mercouris)

The clip opens with an extensive review of the Russian missile attacks on Ukraine and the fact they cannot defend against such strikes. It is possible that the Russians are holding back when it comes to these attacks. They could enact strikes to completely shut down the power system but have not. This is likely to allow people to leave the country with intermittent power failures. Meanwhile Western media still believes the Russians are suffering large numbers of casualties, although the Washington Post is now acknowledging the real situation in Bakhmut.

Also, the media at the moment is going on about the 30 killed in the missile strike on that apartment building. The narrative is that this is more attacks on the civilian population. But why waste such missiles on apartment buildings when you can strike vital infrastructure. And it was only one building. It looks like a stray out of about 100 missiles. The MSM narrative on the war, when you look at it, is dumb. There are plenty of military targets the Russians can strike with their missiles.
