I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and thirty eighth day of the war.
Day 438: May 07
Ukrainians continued destroying Russian fuel store facilities along all main supply lines leading to southern Ukraine. The goal of this campaign is to create massive shortages of critical resources, which will undermine the Russian ability to use the accumulated tanks and other heavy equipment to stop the Ukrainian counteroffensive. Over the last 4 days, Ukrainians conducted a lot of drone strikes, and some of them were very successful.
First of all, Ukrainians successfully hit the Ilskiy Oil Refinery for the second time. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used at least 4 drones, and 1 of them reached the target and caused a fire by exploding on top of the reservoir. The fire rapidly grew, and the square area reached up to 400 square meters, but this time the firefighters also managed to prevent the fire from spreading. So far, Ukrainians destroyed only 2 reservoirs, and as we can see, there are still a lot of targets in this region, which suggests that this is not the last attack on this refinery.
Another fire also broke out in the Krasnodar region. The cause of the fire still remains unspecified, but the object is an oil storage facility. The square area of fire grew even bigger than on the oil refinery and reached up to 500 square meters. This is the fourth oil-related facility that has been damaged or destroyed over the last week, and all of them are located on the southern supply line, which means that in could be used for the Black Sea Fleet or Russian equipment in Zaporizhia.
Today, Ukrainians conducted another strike on the oil depot in Sevastopol. As you remember, this was the first target, and even though half of the refinery was destroyed, the freshest satellite footage indicates that there are still 12 reservoirs left that look like they could potentially be used. But the strike on Sevastopol was just a part of a much biggest strike on Crimea.
The first group of drones reportedly targeted Krasnoperekopsk. This is one of the two most important logistical hubs in northern Crimea because all supplies that are being delivered to the Kherson region always pass through this small town.
Today explosions were also recorded in Dzhankoi, which is located on the same supply line. And Russian Head of Crimea also claimed that Ukrainians accompanied the drone strike with the launch of 2 ballistic missiles, Hrim-2, which were reportedly shot down above the settlements north of Feodosia, which are also located on the same supply line.
The second group of drones traditionally targeted the area around Evpatoria. The goal of these strikes is twofold. First of all, Ukrainians are trying to prevent Russians from returning their aviation to the airfield in Novodefedorivka. And secondly, most of the Russian air defense is concentrated along the western shore, so continuous strikes are necessary for collecting intelligence about the Russian air defense.
The third group of drones targeted Sevastopol and Hvardiyske. It was reported that at the moment of the explosion, the airfield had 10 fighter jets, 8 bombers, 6 air defense systems, and a lot of ammunition and fuel, so it was a perfect target.
Speaking about the airfields, several days ago, Ukrainians also conducted a successful drone attack on the airfield in Bryansk. As a result, Ukrainians completely destroyed 1 plane AN-124 and damaged the fuselage of another AN-124 plane.
In the meantime, the panic around the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Zaporizhia region reaches new heights. The Russian Head of the region claimed that they are expecting Ukrainians to launch a large-scale attack any day now because weather conditions have improved and the ground has dried out. That is why Russians have launched the second stage of massive evacuation. If previously, they evacuated people from settlements between Vasylivka and Tokmak, then now the evacuation was launched from all settlements between Enerhodar and Polohy, clearly indicating a much greater scale of the expected battle.
The massive evacuation brought disarray to the region, and some civilians reported finding thrown away military uniforms, claiming that soldiers were changing clothes and trying to take advantage of the disarray and desert by escaping together with the civilians because they did not want to be on the zero line when the counteroffensive is launched.

No one can know exactly what will happen in the future. However, some experts can make predictions about what might happen in the future by looking at signs. There are many examples, such as weather reports and election polls.
In times of war, it is very difficult to make predictions about the future. However, sometimes concrete predictions can be made because of statements and military preparations. Russian soldiers have concrete predictions in this regard. This is taking a huge toll on the Russian army. The latest statement from the Ukrainian government reveals the situation the Russian soldiers are living in. So what exactly is happening in the war zone? What are the estimates of the Russian soldiers? What is the Ukrainian government saying?
The Ukrainian army has been resisting the Russian invasion since the beginning of the war. This resistance is thanks to a very important military plan. Ukrainian President Zelensky and the commanders held a meeting before the start of the war and prepared a comprehensive resistance plan. This plan has been implemented in stages. The Ukrainian army managed to liberate most of the territories occupied by Russia.
According to this plan, the Ukrainian army is now expected to make its final move. This move is called the “Spring Offensive”. The Ukrainian army plans to end this war completely by launching a massive offensive against the Russian army!
The Ukrainian army will use all the ammunition in its inventory for this operation. Drones, HIMARS missiles, Leopard tanks and Javelin missiles will be part of this operation. It is also known that the Ukrainian army will deploy snipers at critical points at the beginning of this offensive.
Media outlets in Ukraine have recently started to report a lot about this operation. Everyone in Ukraine is now waiting for this operation. It is thought that the Ukrainian army will be victorious as a result of this big operation.
Ukrainians are not the only ones talking about the Great Spring Offensive! Russian soldiers are also closely following the news about this offensive. Russian soldiers know very well how inadequate their troops are. Most Russian soldiers don’t even have enough bullets to fight. Russian soldiers now realize that they cannot win this war. Thousands of Russian soldiers are expected to die when the Ukrainian army’s Spring Offensive begins.
