Ukrainian forces destroyed a bridge over the Seim River in the Glushkovsky district in Russia's Kursk Oblast, Alexey Smirnov, the region's acting governor, claimed on Aug. 16.

The unprecedented operation hit its 10-day mark on Aug. 15, with Kyiv claiming to have seized 1,150 square kilometers of Russian territory and 82 settlements, including the town of Sudzha.

Photos purporting to show the destroyed bridge were published by the Russian Telegram channel Mash, which claimed the bridge had been struck multiple times.

The channel also claimed that about 30 settlements near the village of Glushkovo, approximately 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Kursk, have been "cut off" due to the attack.

Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk posted later a video, showing the attack on the Russian bridge.

"Ukraine's Air Force aviation is actively participating in combat operations in the Kursk sector. Ukrainian pilots are conducting precision strikes on enemy's strongholds, equipment concentrations, as well as on enemy's logistics hubs and supply routes," he said.

The Insider reported that the Glushkovsky district has three bridges across the Seim River, with the other two located near the settlements of Zvannoe and Karyzh.

Roman Alyokhin, an advisor to Kursk Oblast's acting governor and a Russian pro-war blogger, also claimed that Ukrainian forces are targeting the bridge in Zvannoe, about 7 kilometers (4 miles) from Glushkovo, in an attempt to seize part of Kursk Oblast along the river.

Seriously, that’s the best you can do? The same worn out memes you and the rest of the Putler Youth have been posting nonstop since Feb 2022? And calling other people pigs, when I can only assume you are northward of 200 pounds yourself?

Sheesh.

Anyone who tries to introduce reality into any discussion with our resident Zeepers is immediately called a Russian Troll. Name calling is the primary protocol used each and every time. Zeepers’ point of view on this perfectly align with Joe Biden, Camala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Greg Casar, Summer Lee, Delia Ramirez, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, the entire “Justice Democrats political action committee”, and nearly every other Democrat and RINO.

Many Zeepers are long time Never-Trumpers because they care much more about continuing the slaughter of Ukrainian men than the well being of the United States. President Trump has promised to end the madness in 24 hours, so you can expect this entire group to vote for Camala.

And, no it wasn't me who got your foulmouthed comment pulled. Apparently someone else doesn't think the use of the F word is acceptable.

I did it. I saw it as I was scrolling the Latest Posts feed. I don’t hit abuse often, but I’ll own up to it when I do.

I’ll admit I occasionally use colorful language, though I try not to on here, but f-bombs really cheapen the discourse here, IMO.

This is true.

OK, that's it. We're going to have to wash your mouth out with uisge beatha.

[Petrosius]

Interesting. You complain about name-calling by name-calling those who support Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression.

[Allegra]

Heck yeah! 🥃 ☘️

The Brics “ Unit” will displace the USD and become the most widely used instrument in Settlements.

BRIC, otherwise known as CRIB, has been displacing the dollar and the U.S. since FOREVER. And still hasn't happened and will NEVER happen. Even as the U.S. has struggled in the last few years with a democrat-led downturn in the economy, the country still remains the biggest and best economy in the world. No other comes close, so, BRIC is mostly a wish but, not gonna happen. CRIB countries still view the dollar as the standard currency of the world and most secure and most respected. You deal with the U.S., you deal in dollars, and that includes the BRIC countries. So... No thank you.

single malt or blended?

Single malt, please. :)

When the door hits you in the @ss on the way off this thread, watch so you don’t end up with the doorknob in an awkward place...

[kiryandil]

You don't like that medicine bandage Laphroaig stuff, do you?

I confess that I'm ok with it, on occasion.   

[Apparatchik]

Figures. At least you had the guts to admit it, but please don’t gaslight us that it wasn’t political - makes you look like a cheap-ass liberal.

[kiryandil]

Aren't you The Special One?

The FR rules against using the F-word don't apply to you?

Get bent, punk.

I’ve had it and it’s quite nice, but that’s a little too rich for my blood. $$

TBH, vodka’s more my poison on the rare occasion I’m doing the hard stuff. Belvedere and soda with a little lime or Tito’s and soda with a little pink grapefruit juice hit the spot.

And I enjoy a Bloody Mary if I meet friends for brunch.

Go pee up a rope, Boryslav.

By the way, you have some weird foreign chicken scratch on your tagline. You might want to have that checked out.

Zeepers aren’t America Firsters. They want America financially bled for Ukraine.

If they aren’t America Firsters, they aren’t MAGA.

And if they aren’t MAGA, they aren’t Trump supporters.

I’m partial to Irish Mist when the weather is cold.

Bloody Mary’s when it’s hot.

To tell the truth, I like Irish Mist no matter the weather.
