Ukraine Opens New Front Against Russia's Beleaguered Black Sea Fleet
Newsweek ^ | 6/10/2024 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 06/10/2024 4:33:31 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Ukrainian drones are threatening Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov, it has been reported, signaling an intention by Kyiv to target Moscow's infrastructure beyond the Black Sea.

-snip-

British outlet Sky News reported Ukrainian forces had carried out a "coordinated strike" against a Ropucha-class landing ship overnight Saturday, which had moved to the Sea of Azov, connected to the Black Sea by the Strait of Kerch.

Ukrainian Telegram channel Crimean Wind and Ukrainian Mariupol mayoral adviser Petro Andryushchenko gave more details, saying a ship was hit near the port of Yeysk, located in Krasnodar.

But there are conflicting reports over what kind of vessel was hit. Crimean Wind said satellite imagery from Sunday morning suggested Ukrainian forces may not have hit a large landing ship but instead a Vasily Bukov-class patrol ship.

All you Russia supporters have to know,
even if the main army is defeated, there
will be resistance for many years to come.
The USA (and France)stupidly could not
figure that out in Vietnam.
Unless you obliterate a population like the Mongols did
you will not win in the long run.

Why would people who seceded from the Euromaiden Revolution madness want to fight the people helping them? You really need to rethink your opinions.

All you Russia supporters...

My belief that costly & escalating US involvement in a war between two belligerents that were formerly part of the same country, in an armpit of the world that most Americans can't find on a map, with no vital US interests at stake, no obvious way to win and no exit strategy, might NOT be in the best interests of the United States, does NOT make me a "Russia supporter" or a 'Ukraine supporter'. IMHO, the world would be a better place today if the US had let the Nazis & Soviets kill each other to the last man, 80 years ago.

;>)

Another post supporting the Forever War from a rabid neocon muckraker. Go away.

Respectfully I couldn't disagree more. The U.S. has a vital interest in this fight strategically. We spent TRILLIONS on the cold war. Putin and his supporters have declared they want to recreate the Soviet Union.
The first step was to swallow Ukraine. This nation was attacked and invaded without cause. They were never part of the same nation. They were taken over in the 20’s/30’s. Millions were starved to death to eliminate any opposition and the attempt to kill national sentiment. They remained an oppressed people to the fall of the Soviet Union.

They fought against the Soviets on the side of the Germans not because of a love of them, but because of their hatred for Russian occupation.

So, to prevent the Soviet Union from reforming on the backs of millions of free people in different nations, let's bleed them dry in Ukraine. Cost? Far less than the Cold War or the Green New Deal pushed by the Marxist congress and administration here.

It is a Russian false propaganda that it's cost and many here bought it. It is another false propaganda that Ukraine is Nazi now, or has ever been. The Finn's weren't Nazi's either, although for a while they fought with the Nazi's. They just hated the Russians who kept invading. You can see they admit the current danger by seeking NATO membership and many others want to join.

Support Ukraine with all our resources and eliminate the Russian threat once and for all. Far more fiscally responsible.

Now all we have to do is eliminate the corrupt spending domestically. It's a win/win.

Seceded at the point of a gun. Held by Russian “little green men”. Figuratively speaking.

Putin and his supporters have declared they want to recreate the Soviet Union.

Link to putin saying this? I do not believe it exists.

The first step was to swallow Ukraine. This nation was attacked and invaded without cause.

Choose 1:

A. Putin is a threat to the entire world.
B. Russia is weak and cannot even beat Ukraine.

The globohomopedos have pushed and prodded Russia to generate a war. Russia appealed to international organizations to resolve the issues, but was not given relief.

It is a Russian false propaganda that it's cost and many here bought it.

Just no. We are talking about bleeding the USA dry and ignoring the destruction of our own country.

You just compiled and repeated western intelligence propaganda narratives. You *may* be a zeeper.

a war between two belligerents

It's an invasion by Putin, our enemy, of a European country for territorial conquest. Last time that happened was the start of WW2.

with no vital US interests

So the destruction of our enemies military (Russia), with no loss of US soldiers, is of no interest to us? Okay

You have made an excellent argument that the USA should “obliterate” Ukrainians, and not be “stupid”!

A good post, Virginian. Now put on your Nomex fire suit, because the children are going to flame you for the rest of the day, or until some other shiny object distracts them.

Yes, there are many people who enthusiastically support US intervention in Ukraine, just as there were many Americans who enthusiastically supported US intervention in past conflicts around the world (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.). I think it is likely that the time will come when the waste of resources and lives becomes obvious, and most Americans regret US involvement in the Ukraine conflict. As they say, “time will tell”...

You Biden* supporters have to know when the money dries up it will be over in Ukraine. The voices in fear always make the most threats.

Zeepers* will volunteer to ditch their keyboards and sacrific their lives to attack Russian’s once the Last Ukrainian is gone.

Afghanistan, Iraq

Those were mistakes because we involved our troops in nation building. In Ukraine, they themselves are ferociously defending their own country with no US troops directly involved. We are just sending weapons, which are used by Ukraine to destroy the Russian military.
