Is Dnipro how you say Dunkirk in Ukraine?
What Ukie press gangs doink?
Dnieper River, it used to be called. And according to the narrator, Russian sources are saying that the bridgehead is expanding; i.e., Ukraine has broken through. And the Kerch Bridge continues to get whittled down.
Significant, no matter how flippant you care to be, as you refuse to discuss the substance of the news or listen to the video. Putin’s having a bad week.
Leningrad was unable to get enough food, but they had plenty of weapons and ammo as there was a huge armaments industry there.
Not the case in the current South Front. This was also the situation in the Kherson bridgehead.
Occupy Odessa
Kyiv too
Crimea means nothing
“Crimean Kerch Bridge Attacked AGAIN!”
Unsuccessful.
The name varies slightly in the local Slavic languages of the three countries through which it flows:
Belarusian: Дняпро, romanized: Dnyapro, [dⁿʲaˈprɔ], or Днепр Dnyepr,[11] [ˈdⁿʲɛpr]
Russian: Днепр, tr. Dnepr, IPA: [ˈdⁿʲepr]; formerly spelled Днѣпръ[12]
Ukrainian: Дніпро, romanized: Dnipro, IPA: [ɟⁿʲiˈprɔ] (listen); poetic Дніпр, Dnipr; formerly Дніпер[13] Dniper, [ˈɟⁿʲiper], or older Днѣпръ[citation needed] (Dnipr, [ˈdⁿ⁽ʲ⁾ipr][citation needed])
These names are all cognate, deriving from Old East Slavic Дънѣпръ (Dŭněprŭ). The origin of this name is disputed but generally derived from either Sarmatian *Dānu Apara (”Farther River”) in parallel with the Dniester (”Nearer River”) or from Scythian *Dānu Apr (”Deep River”) in reference to its lack of fords,[14][15] from which was also derived the Late Antique name of the river, Danapris (Δαναπρις).[16]
- from the wiki, which is very good.
Dneiper is the transliteration usually used in western Europe. Note that in Slavic languages the “D” is normally silent - “neper” “nipro”.

You seem oddly “committed” to your cause here. Whence comes this passion?
Hope is a beautiful thing. Until it’s not.
“It was shut down for sone hours, which counts as effective harassment.”
Agree, but still little or no damage.
White smoke is from Russian smokescreens, the black smoke is from missile explosions. Counting the black smoke plumes the bridge was hit in at least six places.
This is the first time the bridge was attacked during daylight and in multiple places simultaneously. Ukraine distributed the attack along the length of the bridge.
For a attack where according to Russia nothing got through the defenses, this is going to take a long time to repair.
Video author: “German military historian (M.A. from the University of Würzburg), former German army armored recon within a mountain division, 30 years of first interest, then studying, then working in the fields of military, military history, and geopolitics. I also created a few small companies and was a defense and foreign policy politician in the past.
I also run a channel with the same topics in German. “
Yawn.

Keep telling yourself that. Whether it’s the destruction of the rail lane, the entire bridge, or just an enlarged pothole somewhere, the act of attacking the Kerch Bridge makes it plain to Russia that their hold on the Crimea is untenable, because their access to the peninsula is becoming less and less secure, as these attacks become more frequent. It’s no longer a vacation spot.
Its water supply, now just a canal running along the Azov Sea, is getting pretty iffy, as Ukraine expands its bridgehead and keeps crossing the Dnipro into Kherson Oblast.
