Ukraine destroyed a Russian tanker that Moscow used for surveillance and for deploying first-person-view (FPV) drones in southern Ukraine, according to Kyiv's military.

Ukraine's air force conducted a "successful strike" on the Russian-flagged Mechanik Pogodin on Tuesday, Kyiv's navy said in a statement.

Ukraine said Russia's military was using the vessel as a command center, with the ship serving to launch FPV drones and to carry electronic warfare (EW) equipment. Kyiv said the use of the vessel for surveillance and control made the tanker a legitimate military target.

A brief video posted by Ukraine's armed forces appeared to show the moment of the strike on the tanker. The clip shows a large explosion on one end of the ship, and a dark cloud of smoke billowing up from the vessel. Pieces of debris can be seen crashing into the water surrounding the ship. Newsweek could not independently verify the footage.

"Thanks to the pilots for the successful combat work against the enemy control point!" Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Air Force, said in a statement.

Newsweek has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.

Putin interferes with the “presidential elections” in Russia and blames America for doing this. Ukraine might finally receive long range ATACMS missiles. US approves $300 million support. Update from the South: Z-Soldier tried to hide under destroyed Leopard tank. Did he succeed? Update from the East: Ukrainians continue to seize the advantage after Russian offensive died.

Military objects across multiple Russian cities were attacked. Oil refineries stopped working. Armed revolution!

Anti-Putin Russian separatists breached the border and attacked Z-Military. Alexander Lukashenko puts Belarus on high alert. Timing is extremely suspicious. Coincidence?

The Ukes blew up their armored barge the Russians WERE using before they deserted it. You can pray for Ukraine all you want but the warmongers in DC don’t hear your prayers. Your DC heroes will be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of more Ukes before they walk away.

The French magazine Marianne got access to "several confidential defense reports" from the French army on the situation in Ukraine.

The situation looks exceedingly bleak for Ukraine, which might in part explain Macron's recent declarations around sending troops to Ukraine. I translated the important parts of the article:

"A Ukrainian military victory now seems impossible"

The reports Marianne consulted write that Ukraine's counter-offensive "gradually bogged down in mud and blood and did not result in any strategic gain" and that its planning, conceived by Kiev and Western general staffs, turned out to be "disastrous": "Planners thought that once the first Russian defense lines were breached, the entire front would collapse [...] These fundamental preliminary phases were conducted without considering the moral forces of the enemy in defense: that is, the will of the Russian soldier to hold onto the terrain".

The reports also highlight "the inadequacy of the training of Ukrainian soldiers and officers": due to a lack of officers and a significant number of veterans, these "Year II soldiers" from Ukraine - often trained for "no more than three weeks" - were launched into an assault on a Russian fortification line that proved impregnable.

Any bets that they hit that ship based on US intel??

These asshats in DC are really trying to drag us into this. Haven't there been enough loss of life already?

Yes, those helping an country defending itself nation from foreign attack are the warmongers and are responsible for the deaths, not those who actually invaded and continue to attack that country. Some need to recheck their moral compass.

The Ukes and Russians negotiated a peace deal some 250,000 unnecessary Uke deaths ago. That was before “those helping” torpedoed peace for those who are continuing to be massacred at DC’s helping hand. Moral compass!?! You’ve got some kind of warmongering, globalist neocon stooge nerve! How dare you point your miserable blood soaked hand at me!
