The damaged Ukrainian infrastructure in the Odessa port. As I told you Ruzzia tries to avoid humiliation after exiting the grain deal. They can’t target the ships so the only way out for them is to get rid of facilities in Ukrainian ports to make the processing of the grains impossible.

The bad thing for Ukraine that it didn’t predict it and still we are not having enough air defence systems in Odessa. The last night effectiveness was less than 50%.

Now Zelenskyi ordered the urgent reinforcement of the air defence in the region. Plus with the new military help from our allies will help with it.

Now there are several ships in the Black Sea bound for Ukraine, – Bild

It is reported that they all follow the direction of the port of Izmail on the border with Romania. One of the ships is the Alfa Star cargo ship flying the flag of Cameroon.

Today, the Russian Federation announced that it would attack all ships that go to Ukrainian ports.

Minus Ruzzian Commander . Near Luhansk liquidated the commander of the invaders with the call sign "Tashkent", who was promoted on the show Skabeeva propaganda show.

It is reported that a kamikaze drone flew into his car while driving. This "Tashkent" was often shown on Russian-haired TV, in particular, on the air at the propagandon's wife Skabeeva, calling him "the legendary brigade commander."

The new military aid from the USA 🇺🇸 was approved!

⚡️Putin will not go to the BRICS summit in South Africa in August. Instead, Lavrov will go "by mutual agreement" - officially, the Office of the President of South Africa.

Coward 😄

"In the port terminal, which was hit by a Russian strike today, there were 60,000 tons of grain destined for China, which was supposed to be sent two months ago," Zelensky said.

But China is silent...

Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia will jointly apply to the EU with a request to extend the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain after September 15.

This was reported to Reuters by the Minister of Agriculture of Hungary Istvan Nagy.

So Ukrainian grain is trapped both by enemies and allies. Maybe no one needs it really 🤦‍♂️.

It is a big political game that is ongoing. I have my own thoughts about but I will see how it goes with Turkey.

Ok, just checked. The transit via EU is still opened. Containers are sealed. The transit was blocked by some of the EU countries in April for several days.

The United States is not ready to announce any measures to support the movement of ships to Ukrainian ports after the statements of the Russian Defense Ministry.

This was stated at a briefing by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.


It would be strange for US to protect the grain that goes to China and other third countries. So no surprise in this statement. Turkey however may try to secure the ships… they have their own interest in the region

The Ruzzian female who lost her live in the Kerch bridge accident. She really was the classical Putin and war supporter. Well, who wants the war, gets the war. No regrets…

According to Turkish sources, Turkey has plans to supply Ukraine with about 180 Bayraktar TB2 UAVs, 100 Bayraktar Mini, 500 protected vehicles, and then 122-mm shells.

It is likely that deliveries of mortar and artillery ammunition will begin in the near future.
