Putin humiliated as £44m Russian warship 'put out of action' by Ukraine
Express UK ^ | 9/12/2025 | James Knuckey

A rare £44 million Russian naval ship has suffered significant damage after being attacked by Ukrainian special forces in the Black Sea, it is claimed. Ukraine’s military intelligence agency said the vessel has been “put out of action for expensive repairs” after crucial electronic systems were destroyed in the drone strike.

Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate (HUR) said the attack happened near Novorossiysk where Russia’s depleted Black Sea Fleet is now based. The 240ft MPSV07 was reportedly carrying out patrols and electronic reconnaissance near the entrance to the port when it was struck by a Ukrainian-made combat drone. Footage released by the HUR shows a kamikaze drone smashing into the bridge of a vessel.

That’s not very expensive as warships go.

The Express UK is such a fine journal. It has found witnesses, such as "it is claimed" and "Purported footage" and "is believed" and "is said to have happened" and a personal favorite, "Intelligence suggests."

Especially delightful on the right side bar was another Express UK article, penetrating and insightful, titled "Kremlin propaganda star blasts Russian Army for not BOMBING Boris Johnson."

After making this comment I'm gonna read that and the fine Express UK article, "New nightmare for Macron as French economy spirals into chaos."

The world is on fire! Or maybe not.

Over the weekend Russian refineries took another round of heavy beating. Last night the Kirishi refinery was struck. The facility produces annually over 20 million tons of oil products. It is the second largest refinery in all Russia.

The night before the Bashneft Novo-oil refinery in Bashkortostan, currently Russia, has been struck. It has an annual production output of 7.1 million tons in oil products.

🔥 🛢️Map of the Ukrainian drone strike campaign against Russian oil refineries starting from 2 August 2025.

A total of 13 refineries have been attacked, some of them multiple times, combined processing capacity of targeted Russian oil refineries — 114.5 million tons per year.

As to the "follies," it is interesting to examine more closely some RBGs -- really big graphics -- which are placed into threads without sourcing them. But the internet has such tools for those curious.

Comment 7, as an example, is sourced verifiably back to:

Ukraine News 🇺🇦
@Ukrainene

5:14 PM · Sep 14, 2025

Google image search

It is interesting that the "@Ukrainene" news shows, on closer examination, "7,352 Followers." Not so many followers, in this big world.

It is all the more interesting that their sister YouTube channel, according to the channel itself, has "344 subscribers." Also not a lot.

One could conclude then that efforts on threads like this to further the messaging of rather small PR outreach by posting RBGs is its own form of propaganda

In a war, all sides suffer losses. No surprise there. And in war, all sides publish propaganda. Again, no surprise there.

Moral equivelence has always been the refuge of the America hating leftists. Genuine Conservatives never need to retreat to such weak positions.

Russia Nazis?

That's amusing considering Ukraine's modern-day founders is Stepan Bandera, a Nazi sympathizer.

You and your fellow Zeepers are clowns.

Not sure what your comment pinged at me meant. Moral equivalence of what?\

I simply tracked unsourced graphics back to verifiable sources.
