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

Day 567: Sep 13

Today, the biggest news comes from Crimea.

Here, Ukrainians conducted the biggest and most successful strike on the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Local residents filmed multiple subsequent explosions in Sevastopol Bay and huge plumes of smoke rising towards the sky in the aftermath. The analysts quickly identified the location based on the footage and concluded that the fire actually seemed to be coming out of the area west of the bay with the Russian Fleet.

Soon, local officials reported that most rockets were shot down and that the fires were quickly localized and put out. However, the situation was much worse. Based on the NASA Firms data, the targets of the strike were located in the eastern part of the bay. Later released footage allowed to make a definitive conclusion – Ukrainians targeted the maintenance and repair facilities of the Russian fleet.

At the moment of the strike, there were 2 intact ships that were undergoing maintenance work: the assault landing ship “Minsk”, and the submarine “Rostov na Donu”. Due to the abundance of confirmations online, the Russian Ministry of Defense had to admit that both vessels were damaged.

The Spokesman for Ukrainian Intelligence reported that Ukrainians likely inflicted irreparable damage not only to both vessels but also to the repair facilities. Recently released satellite footage gave more insight into the extent of the damage.

When it comes to the assault landing ship “Minsk”, we can see that the aluminum top part of the ship completely collapsed to the bottom, and the explosion likely caused a fire in the engine room as the whole ship was clearly burning. Given the extent of the damage, the ship can be considered destroyed. And this is already the third assault landing ship that Russians lost over the last year – the first one being hit in Berdyansk and the second one in the sea by a drone.

When it comes to the 300 million-dollar submarine “Rostov na Donu”, the vessel also received critical damage and was clearly burning. Russian analysts concluded that it would likely be easier to build a new submarine than repair this one, which is why the Russian carrier of Caliber missiles can be considered destroyed as well.

On top of that, it was reported that up to 40 Russian marines were killed and wounded. At first, it was reported that the casualties were among the factory workers, but since the attack was conducted at night and there were no workers on the site, the losses were only among the marines that were on the watch.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that Ukrainians conducted a strike using 3 marine kamikaze drones and 10 cruise missiles, interestingly, without specifying the type. The most prominent Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used modified S-200 ballistic missiles and that 7 of them were shot down, however, the Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk made a comment and jokingly said that the Russian fleet “was caught in a storm” today, hinting that Ukrainians used Strom Shadow missiles.

When it comes to today’s Ukrainian strike, Ukrainians developed a very complex strategy. At first, Ukrainians launched at least 3 marine kamikaze drones. The goal of this attack was to divert Russian attention toward the sea. Russian sources reported that all 3 drones were destroyed by the patrol ships, although later it was confirmed that Russians lost a boat in the western part of the sea, so it is possible that at least one drone hit the target.

Simultaneously, Ukrainians launched several S-200 missiles toward the Black Sea Fleet. Ukrainians understand that the air defense here is quite powerful, which is why they did not expect these missiles to pass through but rather used them for identification of the Russian air defense. Once the missiles were shot down, Ukrainians reportedly launched at least 2 HARM missiles that are designed to pick up electronic signals from radars and destroy them, which completely blinds the air defense system.

Finally, Ukrainians launched Storm Shadow missiles, and at least 3 of them reached their destination. The Head of the Ukrainian Air Force stated that the destruction of these 3 ships is just the beginning, and more strikes on Crimea are to come in the near future.

Not my flag Not my country Not my problem Shame on you & others here for promoting endless wars that are bankrupting our nation and risking the lives of our children and grandchildren, as well as White Europeans.

Translation: Let Russia invade other European countries, waging war and grabbing land, without consequence.

Because, effectively, that's the only alternative you are left with.

Doesn't jibe very well with maintaining the European Peace Architecture after WWII, like we did from 1945 to 1990, does it?

I take it that you would have been among those sniveling cowards, fellow travelers, and "peaceniks" who, after Hitler's defeat, advocated simply going home and leaving Europe to the "tender mercies" of marauding Soviet hordes, right?

Because: What's the difference between then and now, really?

And "bankrupting" our nation?! Seriously?!

U.S. aid to Ukraine barely amounts to a drop in the bucket!

Every dollar sent to Ukraine delivers a Return-on-Investment a hundredfold! Our aid in the last 18 months has done more to neutralize the ~~Soviet~~ Russian military threat potential to our country and curb Russian imperialism and expansionism than anything we did in the previous ten years!

Regards,

The end of this war cannot be anything less than total destruction of all things Russian.

This will be the outcome, even if the complete opposite happens.

Because that is what the media will report. And if it does not do so loudly enough, the array of wacko bloggers will claim the media is pretending to be measured in its positions, but everyone knows all things Russian have been destroyed.

I agree entirely. Two scorpions in a bottle engaging in another round of killing in a centuries old blood feud in a place that last year 9 out of 10 Americans couldn't have found on a map as big as a barn door and had never heard of.

$108 billion dollars of American taxpayers money has been shoveled in a murderous black hole no one can account for while millions of illiterate, unvetted welfare parasites and terrorists have poured over the southern border. We're done.

This propaganda crap on FR is kinda wild.

Yes, and it’s really getting old.

You support this war for one reason. The laundering.

Yep.

Slava Sleestaks!

Nearly 20,000 consumers lost power in 6 regions overnight due to shelling, trains were delayed in Zakarpattia region due to substation outage

Power generation

Electricity generated by Ukrainian power plants is sufficient to meet the needs of consumers.

Power engineers continue to prepare the power system for the heating season, which will take place in the face of russian attacks. A large-scale repair campaign is underway at thermal, hydro and nuclear generation facilities.

Situation in the frontline regions

Enemy terror continues in the frontline and border regions with russia. In Kharkiv region, a 110 kV overhead line was cut off due to shelling, leaving 9,000 consumers without electricity. In Donetsk region, five 35 kV lines and five 35 kV substations were shut down due to hostile shelling, which resulted in a power outage for almost 8,000 customers in 17 settlements. The power was partially restored the same day, but repairs are ongoing, and power engineers are working under the constant threat of new shelling.

Another 3,000 customers were cut off from power overnight due to shelling in Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Sumy and Chernihiv regions. Repair crews are working where the security situation allows.

Situation in the regions

A 110 kV overhead line was disconnected in the Zakarpattia region. As a result, the 110 kV substation that supplies a unit of Ukrzaliznytsia was shut down, causing disruption to train traffic.

Consequences of the Kakhovka HPP dam blow-up

About 8,000 consumers in Kherson remain without power. Power engineers are working to restore power supply, but repairs are slowed down by shelling.

Situation at the ZNPP

A slight decrease in the water level in the ZNPP cooling pond is recorded. It is currently at 15.96 metres. This is enough to meet the needs of the plant.

Exports/imports

Commercial electricity imports over the past day totalled 250.00 MWh. Exports to Slovakia amounted to 2,368.00 MWh, and to Moldova – 1,970.00 MWh.

At the same time, the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to conduct the offensive operation on Melitopol axis and offensives (assaults) on Bakhmut axis, destroying the enemy and step by step liberating the occupied territories. As a result of the assault operations, the Defense Forces have partial success in the vicinities of Klishchiyivka, Andriyivka, Kurdyumivka (Donetsk oblast), pushing the enemy out of their positions and consolidating new positions.

During the day of September 13, the Ukrainian Air Force launched 10 air strikes on the concentrations of troops, weapons, and military equipment as well as 2 strikes against anti-aircraft missile systems of the adversary.

Missile troops hit 10 artillery systems, 2 ammunition depot, 1 command post and 1 anti-aircraft missile system and 1 electronic warfare station of the russian invaders.

Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine! United we will be victorious! Glory to Ukraine!

“Formally, the US is committed to aiding Ukraine against aggressors, as the US signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994. And there are more treaties besides.

If such treaties arent honored, there is no longer any value in treaties. Its a very fundamental problem. On the other side of this lies madness.”

It is not a treaty. It was never presented to the US Senate for ratification so not binding on the US. Plus, it was a Bill Clinton promise, which makes it doubly worthless.

FPV drones have emerged as one of the most effective weapon systems in full-scale warfare, owing to their remarkable precision in striking targets. They have gained significant popularity within our ranks, largely thanks to the initiatives of proactive activists who proposed innovative solutions for the military, and the dedication of volunteers who actively raised funds to acquire these drones. While the enemy is also increasing their deployment of such drones, our soldiers demonstrate quicker decision-making and a higher level of initiative, positioning us among the leaders in this domain.

In this report by Anna Kaliuzhna, you will explore how FPV drones are being effectively used against the russians and why we have the potential to become global pioneers in this field.

SBGS assault brigade “Steel Border” has been performing tasks on the front line for several months already. Battles are taking place simultaneously in several areas of the front. For example, in the Kharkiv region, border guards are actively defending their positions, constantly striking at the enemy. This is how they try to impose their own initiative on the occupiers and inflict maximum losses. The fighters showed how they attack enemy positions, what means they use for this, and also explained what motivated them to join the assault brigade of border guards.

“Every dollar sent to Ukraine delivers a Return-on-Investment a hundredfold! Our aid in the last 18 months has done more to neutralize the Soviet Russian military threat potential to our country and curb Russian imperialism and expansionism than anything we did in the previous ten years!”

That’s BS. What’s going to stop them from rebuilding everything after the war is over? We’ll be out hundreds of billions and back at square one.

"Shame on you & others here for promoting endless wars that are bankrupting our nation and risking the lives of our children and grandchildren, as well as White Europeans."

Some in the U.S. actually want to send United States military troops to fight against Russia. So, where are all the anti-war hippies, the no blood for oil, and the "we who want peace" protesters? How astonishing also, that the American left supports Nazis in Ukraine who are fighting the mother nation of the left.

Isn’t this the guarantee Clinton made to Ukraine to convince them to give up their nukes? Look how THAT worked out!

“Isn’t this the guarantee Clinton made to Ukraine to convince them to give up their nukes? Look how THAT worked out!”

Yep. Proves these people bringing that up are not conservatives and not Americans. 1) they don’t know how our treaty process works and 2) they believed Bill Clinton.

"Word is that NATO is to have naval exercises in the black sea."

Maybe Russia will let NATO sailors have shore leave at the port of Sevastopol.

Pootie Poot. Are you telling me you lost another submarine?

Quit PMing me, if you want to post something to me then do it on the thread.

I get tired of going through this process with you over and over, and over.

Yup. And if this Ukraine thing doesn’t come off, everyone and his brother will be doing - what?

You may see mushroom clouds after unfortunate soccer games.

The US treaty process is irrelevant to foreign governments and societies. So are US Presidents and the inside baseball of US politics.

As far as everyone is concerned, the US (your people, collectively) gave its word. No matter how you kick back at that, it is what it is.

The wonders of factionalism have bred many strange creatures. A lot of them hang out here.

Me, I try to be the rock in the storm. My mind was made up in Nixons day.
