This is a guard ship for the gas pipeline to Turkey. Perhaps another US sabotage attempt is in the offing?

" Perhaps this suggests that Russian troops are preparing to take some decisive measures in the vicinity of Donetsk in the near future, since in the long run the effect of destroying the dam is small - the enemy will simply restore it or build a pontoon crossing."

Ivan Khurs successfully stops a Ukrainian sea drone


That second one got awfully close. If it detonated, there would have to be some damage. If it didnt detonate, why did the camera feed drop ? I suppose it could taken a hit in the controls and been rendered inert. Has anyone seen a recent pic of the port-side stern of the IK ?

If it did detonate at the least you'd expect a bloody big hole in it and probably loss of power.

No doubt. If a giant meteor struck Red Square today, the US would be blamed for it.

Prizoghin clarified that the 'refitting' will be 1-2 months and they have 25,000 men. The coming days will tell if this is another lie and Wagner PMC comes over to blow up and take over Avdiivka (pop. base 32,000).

1 It started as an unconventional war

Wrong.

;the Russians could have succeeded with less men and they can still win with smaller forces .

Wrong.

2 There is no reason for the West to give money to Ukraine as a defeat of Ukraine does not depend on the absence of Western help and as such a defeat does not endanger the interests of the European members of NATO

Wrong.

and thus also not the interests of the US .

100% Wrong. Impressive in its wrong-ness. A virtual symphony in wrong-osity.

1 YES :it started as a non conventional war ,as the Russians knew that they could not conquer, occupy and pacify Ukraine ,to do this, they needed the collaboration of the Ukrainian people and their plan was to eliminate the Ukrainian leadership and to replace it by a local Quisling .
They attacked with 200000 men and could have succeeded with less than 200000 ,they have now more than 200000 men committed and still do not succeed .
2 Ukraine stopped the Russians without Abrams,without Amraads, without F16s ,etc ,thus these weapons are not decisive .
3 Where is the proof that the presence of pro Russian Ukrainian forces at the border with Poland ( Russian forces at the border with Poland is excluded and without importance ) constitute a danger for the interests of the US ?
The main reason why US and European countries at the order of the US ,have sent weapons to Ukraine (for their importance there is no proof ) is that this is good for the military-industrial complex that needs wars to make profits,for the people of Capitol Hill who receive a part of the money and for Biden ,as a war where US in involved is helping the reelection of a sitting president .
This was also one of the reasons for Lend Lease and the Marshall help .

Two Russky Su-34s wanted to bomb the Russian Volunteer Corps positions. Wanted is key word...

The Belgorod town of Graivoron, some 7 kilometers (4.5 miles) from the Ukrainian border, was under fire for several hours, with four houses, a store, a car, a gas pipeline and a power line damaged, Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov reported.

Closer to the border, a recreation center, a shop and an uninhabited house sustained damage in the village of Glotovo. There were no casualties, according to Gladkov.

The Belgorod region was earlier this week the target of one of the most serious cross-border attacks from Ukraine since the war began 15 months ago. Details of the raid were murky, as Russia blamed the Ukrainian armed forces but two Russian groups said they were involved, with the aim of bringing down Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Hi Guys,

I know this War is a little controversial, but Ukraine was never going to win, no matter how much the West supports Kiev, even down to the last kitchen sink.

Cheers Mike

This war is "a little controversial"?

The fall of Singapore (Anschluss the same as Anschluss of the Ukrainian territories) and Japanese war crimes against the British (rapes, decapitations etc. the same as Russky war crimes in Ukraine) also were "a little controversial"?

The west has changed the definition of victory. The job was outsourced to The Ukranian Ministry of Fairy Tales. An outfit so insane it still insists it holds Bakmut
