One more layer of crazy on all this is how the Russian government pushes Crimea as a ideal vacation spot for its citizens.

The the water was cut off six weeks ago. The beaches have trenches and barricades. Tourists sites are near what might spontaneously explode due to careless smoking. The security around the scenic bridge to get in and hopefully get out works most of the time. The bridge is a tribute to Russian engineering. Don't worry that it was built by a company that never built a bridge before. The cracks are minor for a bridge built on silt.

It is a great place to visit, the invasion Special Military Operation nearby is not that close.

“One more layer of crazy on all this is how the Russian government pushes Crimea as a ideal vacation spot for its citizens.”

Exactly.

The Russian population is not allowed to accurate information, so unable to make good decisions. Although, Russian military & families are leaving & selling homes!

We speak regularly with a 20 something near Moscow. She has been allowed little knowledge of current events.

Reviewing some analysis, Russia was not conducting some wartime activities because the Ukraine never declared war on Russia. With the attack on the bridge, which Russia has declared terrorism, Russia can now engage in more aggressive tactics to defend the public per the law of war. We shall see.

What will happen now that Ukraine has launched so many attacks on civilian infrastructure? Scott Ritter joins us to talk about Putin's next play and what it will cost Ukraine to "go slow" during the next stage of the counteroffensive.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred tenth day of the war.

Day 510: Jul 18

Today there is a lot of news from the east.

Here, Russian forces opened a completely new axis of advance and decided to attack the territories that they had failed to advance into for more than 8 years. Krasnohorivka is a powerful stronghold located between Avdiivka and Marinka. Just like its sisters, it’s been prepared to withstand the most destructive frontal assaults, which is why Russians did not even try to attack it until today.

But before they could attack the stronghold itself, Russians needed to secure their flanks and eliminate all Ukrainian positions in the fields. The first target of their choice became a coal mine 1 km south of Krasnohorivka. The coal mine is located in the field, and it consists of 5 separate facilities. As you can notice, there are also a lot of trench networks on the territory of the mine, located precisely in the way of potential attacks.

In order to breach this defense, Russian forces made a huge bet on the element of surprise – Russians made sure not to conduct any intense reconnaissance-in-force operations to prevent Ukrainians from reinforcing this region.

The FIRST wave of attack consisted of at least 7 tanks and armored fighting vehicles. Judging by the water in the background, Russian forces advanced along the Lozova River, where they split into 2 groups and attacked the strong point from 2 sides. The job of the FIRST group was to attack Ukrainian flanks and draw attention away from the second group, while the SECOND group was trying to establish control over the biggest facility. Since it is also most fortified and surrounded by trenches, by establishing control over it, Ukrainians would be hypothetically unable to continue to defend their position.

Unfortunately for Russians, their assault units faced intense artillery fire. Moreover, the coal mine facilities were severely damaged and could not provide cover even after Russian assault units got close. Russians forces had to reinforce the units on the ground in order to compensate for the losses and fill the trenches with infantry so that Ukrainians do not have an opportunity to enter empty trenches.

As Russians got close, Ukrainians could not maintain the same intensity of artillery fire in order to avoid hitting their own troops. After seeing that level of artillery support necessarily decreased and that Russians also launched another wave of attack, Ukrainians stepped back to avoid incurring high losses. The moment Ukrainians withdrew, Ukrainian artillery crews unleased devastating fire.

NEXT, Ukrainians deployed their drone operators, whose main goal was to target the exposed Russian forces in trenches. Geolocated footage confirms that not many Russians managed to escape the falling of grenades on them. After more or less clearing the trenches and making Russians seek shelter, Ukrainian drone operators could make more sophisticated maneuvers that require more time, such as dropping grenades in the holes of the buildings.

Overall, Russian forces established control over the coal mine facilities, but it came at a great cost. Russian forces reportedly LOST HALF of the tanks and armored fighting vehicles that they had to withdraw mid-fight due to heavy shelling, sending more infantry instead.

Judging by the footage pre-fight and post-fight, Russians used around 120 troops, and LOST more than half of them as well. It is unlikely that Russians expected to incur such substantial losses for several buildings, which is why it is unlikely that Russians will proceed with an attack on Krasnohorivka.

So, the idea of unexpectedly attacking the area, which they refrained from stepping into for years, did not really pay off.

Russia is so shocked their State news and telegram haven't created narratives to explain away what happened to the Kerch Bridge. No new narratives, so the Russia camp falls back on worn out insults, or in case of #26, nonsensical posts. From Speedy's daily thread, https://t.me/pilotblog/5412:

More about Ukraine's counter-offensive in numbers

According to Oryx, military equipment losses in July are as follows:
➡️ July 1-3: 38:15 in favor of Ukraine,
➡️ July 4-8: 75:28 in favor of Ukraine,
➡️ July 9: 27:28 actually parity,
➡️ July 10-11: 64:37 in favor of Ukraine,
➡️ July 12-13: 50:16 in favor of Ukraine,
➡️ July 14-16: 66:13 in favor of Ukraine.

Judging by the last three days, the ratio of losses is 5 to 1. And this is considering that the Armed Forces of Ukraine is advancing, and the attacking side, as a rule, has more losses.

Ukraine is not taking back territory as hoped, that's true. That's not the only measure of getting results.

Since their offensive started they are taking out Russian military equipment at a much higher rate compared to the duration of the war. Over the last month several munition and other depots were hit, and there is the command shake up in the aftermath of Prigozhin's mutiny. Which all suggests the attack on the Kerch Bridge and the cumulative loss of equipment and support is hurting Russian operations much more than it seems.

Thanks for the heads up! So much is happening on so many levels.

This is the corruption that you and your ilk are defending. The proxy war in Ukraine is completely about keeping the money laundering operation that enriching our corrupt political class and oligarchs going. You can burn in hell for defending that while tens of thousand needlessly die in a proxy war Ukraine can't win.

How is it that on the eve of the Russian Special Military Operation in February 2022 that Ukraine was the poorest country in Europe but was ranked number four in the world in terms of natural resources?

The answer is simple — the Western oligarchs who fund the political leaders of the NATO countries were busy cutting deals with Ukrainian oligarchs to get control of those rare earth minerals and energy resources. Do you think that putting Hunter Biden on the Board of Burisma, along with former CIA Counter Terrorism Chief Cofer Black, was just a coincidence? But note — the plan to pillage Ukraine of its natural wealth did not include a plan to ensure the economic development of the Ukrainian people. Only those closely tied to Western oligarchs would profit.

It’s not so much imperialism, but a wish to return to the good old days of the Soviet Union with all of its little satellite states with their puppet governments all in lock step with Moscow.
