A series of explosions rocked Crimea and a border region inside of Russia overnight, punctuating a new phase of the war in which Ukraine is targeting enemy bases and infrastructure deep behind the front line.
An ammunition depot in Russia’s southern Belgorod region bordering Ukraine ignited late Thursday, the region’s governor wrote on his social-media pages. Around the same time, unverified videos on social media showed billowing clouds of smoke and fire in the city of Kadiivka in Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region, which Russian forces captured in early July. Russian-installed authorities in Luhansk said Ukrainian forces had struck the city with U.S.-supplied Himars mobile rocket launchers.
Air-defense systems were also activated in the occupied city of Kerch, Oleg Kryuchkov, an adviser to the Russian-appointed head of Crimea, which Russia seized in 2014, wrote on his Telegram channel.
Residents in the Crimean city of Sevastopol, the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, later reported explosions at the local military airfield.

Enough with the silly cartoons already.
Seriously - will Ukraine become another Afghanistan for Russia? Sufficient sentiment against the Russians in the general population will enable “special forces” sabotage operations against Russian logistics until they are bled white.
Quit commenting to yourself to boost your read count. It's just digital masturbation.
Putin will eventually have to make a choice; retreat from the Ukraine or go full in and do it the Stalin way by activating conscripts and virtually overrunning the Ukraine army. Never underestimate the Russian ability to take huge casualties. Seems to be in their DNA…..

Bidenistas’ desperation shows when they start commenting to themselves because they are being ignored and r just me CMES in the comments. To plague DU with your bloviating posts.
Sevastopol boom! LOL!
Personally I don’t think Ukraine has the ability to drive Russia out of occupied territory no matter how many weapons we give them, they can make really, really costly for Russia to remain in the country thru sabotage and guerilla warfare, sort of like Mujahideen did to the Russians in Afghanistan
Stop spamming Ukraine war threads. Go somewhere else
Stop making inane and fake claims like “read count” which does not exist on FR.
Ukraine will liberate Kherson and Zaporizha by continuing to cut off Russia’s supply lines in the south. And it will be stalemate in Donbas.
Seriously - will Ukraine become another Afghanistan for Russia?

The bigger question is does major unrest and EU leadership fall this winter. I find it funny that Biden’s and the EU sanctions were designed to destroy Russia, but it backfired. The EU is now suffering. 500 percent increase in energy bills, energy rationing, etc….Vlads reverse sanctions- no energy, manufacturing shutting down, job losses, historic inflation, their economies being crippled…., very interesting video by Ritter:

And it will be stalemate in Donbas.

Let me bring you up to speed- the Donbass is now 99 percent liberated. Pesky is fallen, Bakmut under attack.
You can go here to see the detailed daily military situation.

Donbas is Luhansk and Donetsk. And it’s a stalemate. Regardless of what Scott Ritters says.
Putin Puffers follow script...and there are fewer as time goes by.
Regardless of what Scott Ritters says.

You would well to view the daily military reports. Dima has the daily frontline movements, down to listing units both sides movements. All his intelligence is compiled from ALL intelligence agencies and soldiers postings. For example, the French Foreign Legion fighters suffering huge losses, each Ukie battalion listed that had refused to fight and been withdrawn, etc….the details my man, the details.

The comments very enlightening.
“ That’s extremely important about the DPR forces being able to advance west of the Bakhmutke. Holding Bakhmut could turn out to be the least of UAF’s worries. IIRC there were reports of disagreement between Zelensky and Zaluzhny during the loss of Lysichansk as to whether the next defensive should be mounted along the line Bakhmut-Siversk (Zelensky) or Konstantinovka-Kramatorsk-Slavyansk (Zaluzhny). If Konstantinovka, a key anchor of the Zaluzhny line, gets attacked while the UAF are pinned down defending the Zelensky line, that would be major bad news for UAF. And that’s not even considering what could be developing west of Slavyansk, the other end of the Zaluzhny line.”
Strange how the western MSM has no comment or detailed information from the front lines.
