RT Video:
Russian propaganda was celebrating the occupation of Berdyansk and this very ship just 2 days ago.

Oopsie. :)
“It aint the dog in the fight, it’s the fight in the dog”
By God! That Ukrainian dog has fight.
I can only sit back and admire the Ukrainian people and the fight they are putting up.
Putin is apparently as dumb as the criminals who post videos of their crimes on Facebook, inviting the police to arrest them.
This headline and narrative make no sense. Do the nitwits at the Daily Mail actually believe the Ukrainians weren’t aware of the presence of this ship sitting at a pier in a port city until they saw it on TV?
Concur.
The real story is there is egg on the face of Russia that they used the boat for propaganda.
The reporter, believing that the media is the solution — or cause — of all good things and bad things filtered the story to make this about the Russian media being the cause of the attack as a slam against other media.
Now, if the Russian reporter was named “Geraldo”, the Daily Mail might have a point.
But the inaccurate lens is just a symptom of the self-importance media gives themselves and other media.
It’s why there are giant stories about media people dying or whatever.
Loose lips sink ships!
Putin’s butt boys are idiots
The only issue is that a lot of tanks and equipment could have been offloaded in the three days before the ship was attacked.
It can carry:
300–425 troops and, 20 tanks or 40 AFVs or 1,000 tons
Those ships were also blasting Mariupol. Now one of them is sunk. The other two are fleeing, with one of them still on fire. So they won’t be returning to Berdyansk anytime soon or shelling Mariupol, either. So even though supplies were offloaded, those ships are out of service.
Nice way to wake up in the morning. I can drink some coffee with a smile on my face!!!
Time-lapse video showing the events at the port of Berdyansk this morning. Two LSTs left the port, one of them was on fire.

Hope they give them uniforms.
The Ukes are doing remarkable.
The main reason Russia has been holding out in the south is they can resupply by sea. Everywhere else it has to be by truck, and those trucks are being carved up by infantry with AGTMs.
If Ukraine can start inflicting damage on the sea lanes the Russian campaign in along the coast will also stop.
