Ukraine used a home-grown Neptune anti-ship missile to strike the Konstantin Olshansky, which was being "prepared for use against Ukraine," Pletenchuk said.

Crimea is useless to the Muscovites if they can’t safely port their ships and personnel there.
I say muskovite, because that is what they are, like most things “Russian” even stacking dolls was stolen from Japan is a fraud and/or stolen.
The term Russia has nothing to do with Moscow and was appropriated, despite putins interview.
What I find additionally fascinating about your comment besides directly breaking the no personal attacks “neocon fags” is that on posts covering ukranian news that are continuation posts and don’t appear on daily posts, you folks are almost complete MIA. Despite cries of ruining FR

I’m very surprised that the Ukes have not used some type of pontoon drone boat as a seaworthy mobile launchers for these girls.

“ taken control of most the Black Sea…”
Nice Navy you had there.

Nice electric grid Ukraine had there...
Intentionally destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Nice to see you admit it.
Have fun at The Hague.

You're just as a big a hypocrite as any Democrat.
Putin is right -- compared to us, the Russians are white, fluffy angels.
How dare you defend what we've done under Obama and Biden. You're scum.
