Defenders of Ukraine again staged an "enchanting evening" for the Russian invaders in the temporarily occupied Kherson region. "Cotton" in the evening of August 18 again happened in the city of Novaya Kakhovka.
This was announced by the deputy of the Kherson Regional Council and military Territorial Defense Sergey Khlan on his Facebook page. He noted that now it is worth waiting for the count of the Russian invaders destroyed by the strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Kherson region. Apu in Novaya Kakhovka again arranged an enchanting evening for the Russians. We are waiting for the morning and counting the destroyed invaders, " he wrote.
It should be noted that explosions occurred again in occupied Novaya Kakhovka, local residents reported that at least 10 explosions were heard in the evening. The invaders themselves wrote in Telegram channels that there are arrivals at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. They reported that"the passage of the dam is blocked, the roadway is damaged."
A day earlier, Khlan noted that Novaya Kakhovka had turned into a "second Chernobayevka". According to him, the city has recently had a very large concentration of weapons, weapons, heavy equipment, which were pulled up there by the invaders. Now it is being hit by the Ukrainian armed forces, destroying enemy reserves.
Yesterday it was reported that the invaders repaired the bridge at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station dam, which was previously damaged by the Ukrainian military. It was the last Crossing Connecting the left and right banks of the Kherson region. After the strikes of the Ukrainian armed forces, movement on it was impossible. The network showed the first shots of the bridge near the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station after the impact. They show how accurately and accurately the Ukrainian soldiers beat.
As reported by OBOZREVATEL, on the night of Thursday, August 18, reports of explosions in the temporarily occupied Novaya Kakhovka also appeared on the network. They were heard again in the area of the local hydroelectric power station.
Nahasapeemapetilon!
The gulf between what Ukraine thinks it is achieving vis-a-vis its defeat of the Russian invasion and the reality on the ground is growing astronomically. There are some stark facts that must be acknowledged:
1. Ukraine’s air force is inactive. Whatever still exists is not providing close air support to besieged Ukrainian troops or carrying out aerial attacks against Russian positions.
2. Ukraine’s rotary wing aircraft–i.e., helicopters–also is inactive. Only a few helicopters remain and they rarely venture to the front. They are not hitting Russian truck and tank columns with air launched rockets.
3. Ukraine’s tank battalions are non-existent in the Donbas and Kherson. Ukraine keeps its tanks dispersed and camouflaged to protect what remains from air and artillery strikes.
4. Ukraine has shown no ability to reinforce besieged troops and launch a counter attack that pushes the Russians back permanently.
5. Ukraine has used HIMARS, artillery and saboteurs to hit some key Russian ammo depots, but these, so far, are isolated incidents and have not changed the strategic picture.
I have been a target of criticism for taking on the media and opinion reports that portray Russia as desperate and losing. I do this because it is important that someone try to objectively weigh the facts. Propaganda and misinformation can be very dangerous if left unchallenged. Ukraine is a case in point. If you think the facts I outlined above are understood and appreciated by the leaders of Ukraine, think again. They apparently genuinely believe that they will mount an offensive in southern Ukraine that will eventually expel Russia from Crimea. Why? They believe the intelligence and media reports coming from U.S. and European sources that claim Russia is on the ropes and its ground troops are demoralized.
Ukraine reminds me of a character from the second season of the HBO series, The Wire. Ziggy Sobotka, son of the leader of the Baltimore dock workers, is a dysfunctional mess. He also is Polish. The only thing in his favor is his abnormally large genitalia (he identifies as a man). One day at the port, he is goaded into fighting a much larger, more dangerous man. I think this is an apt metaphor for Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is Ziggy. The other dock workers telling him that he can whip Maui (the big guy) are the United States and NATO. And Maui is Russia.

“I have been a target of criticism”
Not by me. However, from what I personaaly know & facts gleaned regarding Ukraine. Putin is the problem much as Hitler was.
Your ‘facts’ regarding Ukraine and ‘what you know’ from your investigation of the situation is tainted by the father of lies so that you, ‘even the elect’ have been decieved into the cult of the false narrative. The rest of the world sees early what is really going on and who are the real ‘Hitlers’.
I have been speculating that toppling the USD could actually turn out to be a good thing in the long run after all the dust clears and maybe the deep state antfarm gets exterminated once and for all
A horrific deep depression may be what it takes to purge the embedded varmits writing and directing the show from backstage in DC
resulting in a return to law and order ( not talking police, they are a cruel joke) I mean in general
Interesting take however wrong it is.
Yes the rest of the world sees & supports Ukraine.
No problem. I private messaged you as to trynot to embarrass a newbie.
I addressed your response:
“Do you live in the United States, Ukraine firster?”
1. I am a VERY American that lives stateside.
2. I am American 1st. However, the war in Ukraine is a war akin to beginning of WWII with Hitler. Most recognize Putin must be stopped while it is still possible.
3. I am deeply respected by many.
You have been here since a relatively short time since Jan 19, 2021. There, are a few, very few... that you will learn to recognize that push Putin & Russia over our nation.
But, more than just holding a view, some are crude, rude and sometimes disgusting.
But, you learn to ignore as I most others have because it is important not to allow them to:
1. Ruin the purpose of Free Republic as a community, &
2. Allow them to stop free flow of information.
But I really do appreciate your concern you have shown me,
Regards :)
I am not a fan of Putin but my crystal ball shows him getting the last laugh
If Biden had any cognitive skills we could call this his war, the USA is 100% the cause of all this suffering in Ukraine, no two ways about it. It is just another CIA goof like all the others, "keeping the world safe for the USD"
thousands of good US soldiers have died to keep our dependence on foreign oil and ability to screw over other countries by telling them how much their money is worth
disregard that last post, it was meant for UMCpropagandamom
sorry about that
For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)
LOL.
Get over yourself.
I know what I don’t know, but you do not.
“I know what I don’t know”
We all take the same baby steps. :)
Learning is a process for each of us.
Indeed we do...
Now take your own advice and stop the condescension.
It’s never occured to you that you might be wrong.
“It’s never occured to you that you might be wrong.”
Of course, I am wrong. I also am right like most folks.
That is why real freepers share & discuss info on this site.
Look forward to your thoughts :)
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon is an Indian immigrant proprietor who runs the Kwik-E-Mart, “Thank you, come again”
Have a GREAT day :)
I see Apu, and it’s the only thing I can think. :)
You never share and discuss.
Your mind is closed.
...she/he/it and other neocons and globalists revel in the weakening of America.

These same collaborators tell us how there is no real impact on daily life in Germany due to bone-headed sanctions that intentionally wreak havoc on the entire West. Their assignment is to belittle the truth and denigrate those who authoritatively present it.
I have early, almost first memories, of my immigrant grandparents and first generation mother listening to Tokyo Rose while my father was being forced to construct a personal driveway for MacArthur by hand.
This is intensely personal while we live under a destructive regime beholden to unelected psychopaths intent on a Global 4th Reich. Remember the photos in LIFE of the French women who had affairs with the occupiers, heads shaven, stripped and forced to march in the street? There were thousands of executions, both popular and legal in France after Liberation and the fall of Vichy. Some collaborators survived until the 1980s.
The FR shills for globo would all do well to reflect on those happenings. All the gestures of history are repetitive.
A full third of the invaders...
