Comes as a shock to you? They're just getting started now.
No, not "shock" - after all it always was a case, that when Ukrainians were doing something stupid, ( like hitting Crimea bridge,) Moscow was always sending someting back their way.
What surprised me this time around, is this time around the target was Odessa port.
Usually Putin likes to play all this "economy games" - signing trade deals with the enemy here and there, in the midst of the military actions.
So I find it rather interesting, that Odessa port ( which is part of all these "deals" ) has been targeted after all.
May be finally he ( Putin that is) understood how stupid he looks with all his "deal or no deal" sh*tshows?
Sources of the outlet say Ukrainian and Russian officials are compiling lists of thousands of children as part of a previously unknown mediation process. It is noted that the "extremely sensitive" negotiations have been going on for several months, and oligarch Roman Abramovich, who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, is participating in these.
The July 17 Kerch Strait Bridge attack is likely having immediate ramifications on Russian military logistics in southern Ukraine. Footage and imagery published on July 17 and 18 show extensive traffic jams and accidents reportedly on the E58 Mariupol-Melitopol-Kherson City highway – Russia’s current main logistics line connecting Russia to southern Ukraine – at various points between Mariupol and Berdyansk, and in Kherson Oblast. Russian occupation authorities claimed to have reduced traffic at Crimea-Kherson Oblast checkpoints near Chonhar and Armiansk following significant traffic jams in the morning. Russian occupation authorities also advertised alternate routes and rest stops along them for tourists to drive from occupied Crimea through occupied Zaporizhia and Donetsk oblasts – rear areas in a war zone – to return to Russia. Russian authorities also announced additional measures to mitigate resulting traffic jams and logistics issues, including a temporary road bridge next to the Kerch Strait Bridge, the reconstruction of a 60-kilometer stretch of road between Crimea and Kherson Oblast through Armiansk, and lowering security measures at the Kerch Strait Bridge checkpoints. Russian authorities reopened one span of the Kerch Strait Bridge to one-way road traffic towards Russia on July 18, and plan to reopen the same span to two-lane traffic on September 15 and the whole bridge to road traffic in November. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on July 18 that the Russian government is still developing measures to increase the security of the Kerch Strait Bridge, and Russian milbloggers continued to criticize the claimed Russian security failure to adequately protect the bridge.
The bridge will be hit again. And again. Until one day it is not a bridge at all.
It's a legitimate target, since it carries supplies to the Russian army.
12 miles long. And Russia must watch every foot of it.
Ukraine will hit it again.
Russia kidnaps children and destroy civilian infrastructures.
For the Russian bots who keeps repeating the lies that Ukraine shelled civilians in the Donass, the Wagner leader Prigozhin has already exposed those lies in his speeches.
