For @TWQgw, just this week, @ZackCooper and I write about Russia's use of economic coercion, malign finance, and political subversion to weaken (mostly European) competitors from within.

Here's another case ?https://t.co/EetJbkjLjF

The entire Kherson region looks like this, almost all revetments are empty. The Russians have suffered huge losses, but they have also gotten better at hiding their equipment and protect it better. https://t.co/a4TzHTsJRQ

Russia source:

"There are reports that as a result of a morning attack by kamikaze UAVs and submersible drones of the AFU, the base minesweeper was damaged and the radar station of the Admiral Makarov frigate of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was hit by shrapnel". pic.twitter.com/X6l1aaEtz1

?The British Navy specialists preparing the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the drone attack on Sevastopol took part in the planning, support and implementation of the terrorist attack to undermine the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Ukraine released a video from today’s attack on Sevastopol. It shows a naval drone targeting the Black Sea Fleet’s Admiral Makarov Project 11356 frigate, which Russian sources said was damaged (it replaced the Moskva as the Black Sea Fleet’s flagship). https://t.co/zdAeWUvDrb pic.twitter.com/TNnIu4OIap

Wild to see this footage.

Quick Take: The USV's used in the attack today in Sevastopol appear to be similar to the one captured by RUS a couple months ago. In fact, I believe they are the exact same design.#OSINT #UkraineRussiaWar #Sevastopol pic.twitter.com/Zdr9j6XZTn

After blaming the UK for assisting Ukraine in a drone attack on its Black Sea Fleet, Russia says it is withdrawing from the grain export deal. This was perhaps Moscow's last remaining "influence lever" in the war over the West. https://t.co/0h94QJlrHy

"We're going to starve countries because our Navy is being beaten by a country who doesn't have a Navy". We really need to give Ukraine whatever they need to completely destroy the entire Russian Navy in the Black Sea including that f*cking submarine, they're literally throwing a tantrum and starving countries.

Russian logic that attacks on their fleet, which is engaged in a war of aggression against Ukraine, are somehow ‘terrorist attacks’ is bizarre to the extreme.

And even if it would be terrorist attacks, what does this have to do with grain transports for the world...

Just wanted an excuse to get out of the grain deal, always a bad faith actor, now they'll blame the West (specifically UK) for being responsible for starving countries in Africa/Middle East.

Still waiting for verified reports on the damage inflicted, I hope it's good. I'm even more convinced now that this drone boat was used on the Crimean bridge.

***UPDATE***

Now beyond any reasonable doubt that the type of surface drones used by #Ukraine to attack Russian Navy in Sevastopol today were same as one previous found near the base. #OSINT

***UPDATE***

There is still a massive fog of war surrounding the #Ukraine️ attack on #Russian forces at Sevastopol. All UNCONFIRMED

3 parts to reports:

1. Reports in Russian media /SM that some Russian navy ships damaged. Reportedly including frigate Admiral Makarov #OSINT pic.twitter.com/cYYibm8jgf
— H I Sutton (@CovertShores) October 29, 2022

3. Videos and images of explosion at sea this morning, variously reported as a Russian helicopter destroying a Ukrainian underwater drone. Like other info treat as UNCONFIRMED, and I have slight doubts what we are seeing

A Russian Navy submarine was also in the general area https://t.co/kxZCJjtWKL

Ukrainian Intelligence is reporting that Russian Forces have received Iranian Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar Short-Range Ballistic Missiles and are preparing to use them against Ukrainian Targets in the coming weeks ahead, members of the IRGC are also on ground to assist In their use. pic.twitter.com/Gy161j0qEu

FFS. Give Ukraine those ATACMS already. Russia is getting long range shit from allies, it's only fair that Ukraine receives the longest-range things they can get for their weapons from allies. Looks like ATACMS has about the same operational range as Fateh-110.
