Ukraine destroyed seven boats in a devastating attack on Russia's Black Sea navy in the Crimea.
Ukraine launched a spectacular and devastating attack on Russia's Black Sea Fleet, inflicting major damage on Putin's navy.
The Black Sea Fleet is stationed in Crimea, which was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014.
Throughout the current war, Ukraine has managed to sink a number of vessels from the fleet including the Moskva flagship missile cruiser.
Through a combination of missiles and drones, Kyiv's army has succeeded in nullifying the threat from Putin's navy in the Black Sea, regularly inflicting huge humiliations on the fleet.
This has allowed Ukraine to keep open its commercial sea channels, enabling it to continue its grain exports - a vital source of income for Kyiv's beleaguered government.
In another daring raid captured by onboard video cameras, Ukrainian maritime drones attacked a a Russian ship-and-boat warehouse in the Crimea.
Russia's army scrambled its aircraft thirty two times in a desperate bid to prevent the drones from hitting their target.

Steven Seagal presented “Hero of Russia Award” by “Putin” today? Lol! Winning!Tell your former president Zelenska to tell Ukrainian president Ruslan Stefanchuk that Steven Seagal has nothing to do with the collapsing Ukrainian front lines in the Kharkov, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson oblasts, marcus.

"great, now take out ALL Russian oil refineries and oil infrastructure"
And piss off all the other countries that rely on Russian oil, and oil products to run their countries. Great idea.

This is not Ukraine’s doing.
This is the doing of the people in the US and NATO, desperate to kick off WW3 before the US Presidential election.

Trump confirms (see below) the US was behind the Maidan Uprising ('revolution') in the Ukraine.
CIA's Nuland is on tape planning US coup in the Ukraine (see below).
Many FReepers seem unaware that our CIA helped overthrow Ukrainian leadership in preparation for the current war in the Ukraine. Then others know it but deny it and imply others are living in a fairytale, even after reading the following links.
2 days after the CIA's overthrow of the Ukraine began, Putin annexed part of the Crimea. You always act there's no provocation, no reason at all, which provoked Russia to respond.
In 2010, the Ukraine's "parliament passed a law banning Ukraine from joining any military bloc, effectively banning it from entering NATO though maintaining opportunities for cooperation. According to a poll conducted by Pew Research Center the fall before, just over half of Ukrainians disapproved of NATO and the idea Ukraine might try to join, while just 28% approved." source
ransomnote: Since the Ukraine moved to prevent NATO membership, the US CIA overthrew the Ukrainian government (start of that 'revolution' was February 18, 2014). With (CIA) help, NATO was now in control of the Ukraine, Russia responded by annexing part of Crimea Feb 20, 2014 – Mar 21, 2014.
Two monthls later in May, two more reagions of the Crimea voted for independence to escape NATO's overthrow of the Ukraine, at which point NATO/CIA controlled Western Ukraine began shelling Eastern Ukraine. Nobody likes to talk about Eastern Ukraine shelling western Ukraine; they prefer to repeteadly claim Russia acted without reason and will attack other nations at will once it wins the war in the Ukraine. Those people simply have no objection to the government of the Ukraine shelling its own citizens.
(Berlin) – Ukrainian government forces used cluster munitions in populated areas in Donetsk city in early October 2014, Human Rights Watch said today. The use of cluster munitions in populated areas violates the laws of war due to the indiscriminate nature of the weapon and may amount to war crimes.
During a week-long investigation in eastern Ukraine, Human Rights Watch documented widespread use of cluster munitions in fighting between government forces and pro-Russian rebels in more than a dozen urban and rural locations. While it was not possible to conclusively determine responsibility for many of the attacks, the evidence points to Ukrainian government forces’ responsibility for several cluster munition attacks on Donetsk."

Just a reminder that Moscow was never prosecuting their campaign by sea. So you can sink the whole of their bathtub navy and their armor is still advancing an inch per day.

For some reason, the Deep State and their MSN pretend that Russia was not provoked and simply went on a totalitarian rampage for no reason”. Thanks for speaking the truth of the matter. Putin has restrained the real hard-core military in Russia. The Putin haters don’t give a crap about that. |
Putin tried to spare lives - he wanted neighbors he could trade with and an allied nation as a buffer between Russia and the aspirations of the UN/WEF/NATO/WHO 'world government'. He tried selectively hammering on infrastructure to drive Zelensky to the negotiating table. But NATO won't allow negotiation because their goal is regime change in Russia in their quest to rule the world. So Putin persisted in the softest tactics he could use to get to the negotiating table and when it became clear NATO would not permit a peace agreement, he went harder on infrastructure and military assets.
Meanwhile, Ukraine supporters on FR insisted that Putin's initial restraint showed he was crippled, weak, and literally dying, and that Russia's armies were raping and torturing at will, targeting apartment complexes with missiles to kill as many citizens as possible. The Ukraine's FR advocates warn 'this is just the beginning' and that Putin aspires to conquer all nations. It's absurd to argue he's weak, dying, hated and is a threat to the world because he's fighting to eliminate NATO's threat to his nation.

Does anyone know what the summer weather is like in St. Petersburg?
I’m thinking of building a summer home there once NATO ultimately takes over. Something near the Nevsky city forest, 2.5 - 5 acres so I can have a nice outdoor range.

They don’t care about alleged “war crimes” as long as a single Russian dies, they don’t care how many children are killed.

Again, thanks for posting the truth.
The notions that Putin wants to occupy Europe and beyond is pure, unadulterated BS.
The biggest reason they hate Putin is that he opposes Globalism/One World Orser/WEF, etc., etc., etc.
If something would happen to Putin and he’s replaced by the hard core, hard asses, the Putin haters will wish he was back. They won’t have any ‘safe spaces’ to go whimper in.
