Minnekayev also said that controlling southern Ukraine would open "another way to Transnistria," where he claimed "there are also instances of oppressing the Russian-speaking population."

That would indicate an attack on Odessa's in the making.

Kinda obvious that Russia hasn’t been honest about its intentions throughout the war. Figured they’d want to involve Transnistria at some point. Also, Russian make up less than 30% of the population of Transnistria, so it’s an even more poorly veiled excuse for a land-grab.

These leaked Moskva numbers are dead on with my estimate of 40% losses a few days ago. Seems the Russian navy is indeed as professional as the land forces...

You actually are. It’s a bit fiddly, but you can delete tweets out of the quote to just leave the ones you want (as I’ve done above).
