Day 175. Russia and Ukraine officials say that an ammunition Russian dump exploded in Crimea. Moscow blames saboteurs for explosions in Crimea. In occupied Lysychansk, an explosion kills up to 100 Russian soldiers. About 430 Russian aircraft and 360 helicopters are concentrated around Ukraine. South: Ukrainian aircraft attack Russian stronghold, concentrations of manpower. More than 563,000 tonnes of agricultural products have already been exported from Ukraine through ‘grain corridors.’ Russia targets Energoatom in an extensive cyberattack.
I'll take a look at this later and give a response when I have time. russia has made maybe 45 km advance in the center in three months. Ukraine has made advances in three other areas and has firepower over all supply routes to occupied Kherson. They also seem to be able to strike command posts, ammo dumps and railroads far behind enemy lines. russia is afraid to fly over Ukrainian territory, so I think Ukraine is doing just fine.
This is the impression I get. Russia is screwed. They'll have to use nukes, carpet bomb the whole country, or quit. Any of those options ends in Russia failing and/or dying. The least painful option for Russia is just quitting.
So Ukraine hit a weapon depot in Crimea a few days ago and destroyed a billion dollars worth of weapons. That’s fucking crazy Biggest strike yet
Actually I see it's a video and for some reason I hate videos and podcasts. I think there is a lot of fighting and dying ahead but still think Ukraine has a military plan (to wear down the enemy and cut his supply lines) while russia seems to have a political plan to install governments and stage referendums (which I don't think will help them) so I'm optimistic. Does this guy say anything specific that leads you to think Ukraine is not doing well?
Day 176. Russians attacked two dorms of boarding institutions in Kharkiv, at least 18 dead, dozens wounded. Russia falsely claims that recent attacks in Crimea are terrorist attacks to deflect calls to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. Russian troops continue to intensify their offensive in Donbas and attempted several unsuccessful assaults near the Kharkiv-Donetsk Oblast border. Russian occupation authorities are struggling to increase control measures in occupied territories amidst increased partisan activity. The UN Secretary-General Guterres and Turkish President Erdogan meet Zelenskyy in Lviv. The discussion will include the security of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station.
I'm not sure exactly what you are saying? It is one of Ukraine's greatest fears, that the world would forget their struggle and go on to other things. Even though russians continue to target civilians with their rockets and bombs. Even though russians continue to kidnap, torture and imprison any who speak out against them. Even though russians continue to execute civilians in the territories they occupy. Even though russians have set up artillery firing positions inside the confines of a nuclear plant. Even though russian TV commentators every day promise that russia will go on to take Poland and the Baltic countries next and promise to use tactical nuclear weapons against any country that opposes them.
Day 177. They forgot a strike on a russian ammo dump just over the border in Belgorod, russia. Not sure if any damage was done with the strike on the airport near Sevastopol, Crimea. no confirmation after almost 24 hours. Russian invaders plot provocation at Zaporizhzhia NPP for Aug 19. Russia refuses to create a demilitarized zone around Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant urges the world to prevent a nuclear disaster. Russian strikes on residential areas of Kharkiv killed at least 20 civilians. Ukrainian Air Force carries out 4 attacks on concentrations of the Russian military. Explosions at the military airfield in Sevastopol. EU ambassador, SAPO head discuss the importance of continuing anti-corruption efforts. Slovakia to send weapons to Ukraine despite Russia’s efforts to prevent supplies.
I’m starting to feel it’s time for the US to make the decision to go into Ukraine and secure that nuclear power plant. Get in there and stop a true nuclear catastrophe!
Day 178. Minimal changes in territorial control along the front line. Half of Russia’s Black Sea fleet’s combat jets are out of operation due to the explosions in Crimea. In the Donetsk Oblast, overnight Ukrainian troops carried out HIMARS strikes destroying 1.5 tons of Russian ammunition. Russians destroy two educational institutions, in Kramotorsk and Mykolaiv. Forced mobilization reported in Donbas. Sattelite images from Maxar Technologies show no signs of systematic shelling at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Putin reportedly agreed to the deployment of the IAEA mission at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. The US announces a new package of military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $775 million.
I just read an article citing US intelligence sources that claimed Russia is running low on ammunition. Ukraine Fan, have you heard anything about that?
