MARIUPOL, Ukraine : A Russian airstrike devastated a maternity hospital on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) in the besieged port city of Mariupol amid growing warnings from the West that Moscow''s invasion is about to take a more brutal and indiscriminate turn. Ukrainian officials said the attack wounded at least 17 people, including women near childbirth. The ground shook more than a mile away when the Mariupol complex was hit by a series of blasts that blew out windows and ripped away much of the front of one building. Police and soldiers rushed to the scene to evacuate victims, carrying out a heavily pregnant and bleeding woman on a stretcher as light snow drifted down on burning and mangled cars and trees shattered by the blast. Another woman wailed as she clutched her child. In the courtyard, a blast crater extended at least two stories deep. "Today Russia committed a huge crime," said Volodymir Nikulin, a top regional police official, standing in the ruins. "It is a war crime without any justification." President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the strike trapped children and others under the rubble.

Despite the U.S. government taking criticism for its approach to Russia’s information operations in recent years, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency believes current efforts to combat the Kremlin’s false flags and disinformation surrounding its invasion of Ukraine have been fruitful. “I think the work that we’ve done — and it’s not without risk […] The post CIA director: U.S. information campaign ‘effective’ against Russia ahead of Ukraine invasion appeared first on FedScoop .

UKRAINE''S fierce and unexpected resistance may cause Russia to lash out and use nuclear weapons, a CIA boss has warned.

Watch: US Intel Officials Warn Putin Could Nuke A Ukrainian City Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News, U.S. intelligence officials claimed Tuesday that Vladimir Putin is ‘desperate’ to end the conflict over Ukraine, with some privately suggesting he could set off a tactical nuclear weapon in a Ukrainian city to get the job done. Heads of the CIA, FBI, NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency and the Director of National Intelligence all spoke at a House Select Committee on Intelligence hearing, and all claimed Putin is frustrated with the slow pace of the invasion. The intelligence officials also claimed that up to 4000 Russian troops have been killed in the past two weeks. Fuelled by his disappointments, Putin could resort to using a small nuke, they intimated, as insane as that sounds. CIA Director William Burns said Putin has “been stewing in a combustible combination of grievance and ambition for many years,” further noting that Russian military doctrine contains contingencies for using tactical nuclear weapons. “ You know, Russian doctrine holds that you escalate to de-escalate, and so I think the risk would rise , according to the doctrine,” Burns said.

U.S. intelligence officials said Russian President Vladimir Putin sees the war in Ukraine as one he cannot lose. CBS News intelligence and national security reporter Olivia Gazis joins "Red and Blue" with more on what was said during the annual worldwide threats hearing held Tuesday.

it is feared the tyrant may opt to take the drastic step if Russian troops continue to meet fierce resistance from the defenders, according to reports.

Vladimir Putin''s plan to seize Ukraine''s capital in the first two days of Russia''s invasion has been a complete failure, thrown off course by a fierce Ukrainian resistance, poor planning and a series of profound miscalculations. Why it matters: An isolated and angry Putin is expected to double down on his brutality as the war in Ukraine drags on for weeks, months or even years, according to top U.S. intelligence officials. It could be his undoing. Driving the news: "He has no sustainable political end game in the face of what is going to continue to be fierce resistance from the Ukrainians," CIA Director Bill Burns testified to a House committee Tuesday. Even if Russia eventually captures Kyiv, the U.S. intelligence community does not see a way that a pro-Russian puppet regime can stay in power given the Ukrainian people''s absolute refusal to capitulate. The U.S. estimates that between 2,000 and 4,000 Russian troops have already been killed, "far in excess" of what Putin anticipated or has admitted, Burns said.
