Reminder that Russia considers Crimea to be part of Russia.

Good job ATACMS.

Only since annexing it in 2014, before that, it was Khrushchev who said "Crimea belongs to Ukraine."

"On 19 February 1954, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union issued a decree transferring the Crimean Oblast from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic"

Ukrainian drone attacks overnight have knocked out power in Sevastopol, Russian-occupied Crimea.

"What is happening in the Kharkiv region is a fault of the Ukrainian authorities and a clear response to the shelling of the border regions in Russia."

He also said that the 'Istanbul agreements' are the only basis for a… pic.twitter.com/OyxEPwKBgC

Heavy UAV attack against Russia’s Black Sea coast. The refineries of Tuapse and Novorossiysk are in the focus. Several videos show that the refinery of Tuapse has been hit, including the moments when the UAVs have arrived.

Russian air defense absolutely not existent.
