There goes another ship from Russia's legendary Black Sea Fleet.

Wish we could build Ukraine a massive fleet of these naval drones and just send a horde of them to Sevastopol, Novorossiysk and Crimean Bridge. Russia's Navy is absolute shite. It's a benefit to the world, the more ships that Ukraine destroys, the less effective the Russian blockade is and their blackmailing the world using essential food products.

Someone hurry and invent an anti-submarine drone next so Ukraine can sink every Russian sub in the Black Sea.

OhnePixel (a German and one of the biggest Streamers on Twitch since a while) rooting so hard for Russian CS.GO teams disgusts me so hard. You could argue they may not support the war (who knows) but they officially play as Russian teams, people posting the Z in chat and yeah...

Military Analyst: Russia Created Minefield 'About the Size of Florida' in Ukraine - YouTube

The stories that we're hearing from the frontlines is Ukrainian units come up against these defences where mines in some places are every metre or every two metres

The Guardian

During an interview with a Ukrainian Leopard tank crew by the German news channel "Welt nachtrichtensend," the journalist asked why they didn't just drive around the minefield.

The Ukrainian officer said that during their training in Germany, instructors plotted minefields 100 by 200 meters in size on their maps, "and we have hectares of these minefields, do you understand?"

Ukraine ‘Breaches First Line of Russian Defences,' Now Faces Another Huge Challenge

Just drive around it bro...These journalists, Lol.

The amount of mines that Russia has placed is absolutely insane and very much slowing things down, coupled with no air superiority and a lack of mine clearing equipment and yet some "western officials" moan about the speed and expect Ukraine to pull off a miracle. It looks like Ukraine is mostly focused on artillery hunting.

In addition, on visualised losses, Ukraine often has a 1:2 advantage in equipment losses, as Russia is the defender against an offense, that is pretty terrible performance as the defender is meant to have the 1:2 advantage at an absolute minimum, so Ukraine is seemingly being careful or the Western equipment is holding up better at survivability.

Slow progress, yes, but still performing well in spite of all the disadvantages but thanks to us dragging our feet and not being prepared for a minefield of this scale, Russia has mined practically every single inch of land so this is going to be slow as hell, why I haven't really posted much, not many major developments happening lately.

I've a feeling that Ukraine has swapped tactics to artillery attrition instead of a large scale offensive after they realised how massive the minefields were, hopefully cause a Russian pullback through attrition, Ukraine currently has a large advantage in counter battery fire, they just need the ammo, it'll be slow though, far slower but far safer.

Pretty crazy how far that drone went, Lol.

We should be building them for Ukraine.

The participants of the summit in Saudi Arabia have reached common ground on respect for Ukraine's territorial integrity. Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, citing their sources in the European Union; European Pravda

The newspaper said that in Jeddah, there was common ground "that respect for Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty must be at the heart of any peace agreement, as well as the authority of the UN Charter". The same sources said a decision had been made to form working groups on key topics of the 10 points of the peace formula proposed by Kyiv.

"The timeframe for the meeting of the heads of states has not yet been determined, but it's considered quite possible by the end of the year," they explain.

The talks, which excluded Russia, were attended by the US, India, the EU and China's special envoy for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui. "We have many disagreements and we have heard different positions, but it is important that our principles are shared," Li was reported by Reuters as saying before the meeting.

"From the point of view of conveying common sense to the sponsors of the Kiev regime, I think the participation of Brics colleagues in this event may have brought some benefit. But we still need to figure out what happened in Jeddah."

Dmitri Peskov, who we quoted cited earlier as saying there were currently no grounds for a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire or peace.

He told the New York Times that Russia did not seek any more territory in Ukraine than the four provinces now annexed: "We just want to control all the land we have now written into our Constitution as ours."

On next year's presidential election, he was frank: "Our presidential election is not really democracy, it is costly bureaucracy … Mr Putin will be re-elected next year with more than 90% of the vote."

The lengthy piece also quotes Pyotr Tolstoy, a deputy chair of the State Duma. Asked how Russia could fund an extended war, he said: "We pay for it all from our sales of oil to Europe via India." The Times writer wrote: "This was bravado, but it had some truth to it."

Tolstoy added: "Our values are different. For Russians, freedom and economic factors are secondary to the integrity of our state and the safeguarding of the Russian world."

Putin’s Forever War - The New York Times

It's the fault of supporting countries and not Ukraine that Russia could build such a strong defense to be honest. We just knew how Russia is building the strongest defense line we have ever seen and every single day Ukraine had to wait for new equipment helped Russia. And not only that. Russia also got more time to improve their own production lines for new equipment and could find new ways to get around all the embargoes to get chips and other stuff for their weaponry.

Now this. We really are in World War III because of two of the most hatable countries in the world. -_- I hope that not just Putin and Xi Jinpig are killed, but their whole families too just to preserve peace.

Stuff like this happens literally all of the time, RAF jets have intercepted Russian aircraft near the UK 136 times since 2005.

It's nothing but people like fearmongering with this stuff.
