A few days ago at 4:20 local time the Russian fleet in the Crimean port of Sevastopol was attacked by nine unmanned aerial vehicles and seven autonomous maritime drones. Earlier a maritime drone that had run aground in Crimea and had been found and pictured.

The maritime drones are British and Russia alleges that British specialists had trained the Ukrainian navy in using them. It also says that British soldiers were involved in the attack on the Nord Stream pipeline.
The Ukrainians published two videos shot by the maritime drones while attacking. One of the video shows extensive gun fire impacts near the drone from a Russian helicopter that is attacking it.
The Russians say that all the aerial drones and 4 of 7 maritime drones were defeated before they could caused damage. They also say that one mine seeking ship was damaged in the harbor. It is possible that the damage is greater than Russia admits.
As a consequence of the attack Russia declared that the deal which allowed for grain exports from Odessa has been suspended. That deal had already been in danger as the ‘west’ had not fulfilled its part of the deal which would have allowed for the export for Russian fertilizer to third parties.
I find it likely that Russia will take additional measures to punish the Ukrainian navy for the brazen attack. Additional attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure is another possibility.
Meanwhile all recent attempts by the Ukrainian army to penetrate the Russian held lines have failed. It is notable that these are now much smaller in size with just a battalion or in some cases just two companies in the lead.
It is now definitely mud season in Ukraine during which it is impossible to cross most farmland even on feet. This will hinder the attacking forces on both sides until winter sets in.

It’s almost as if (((someone))) is trying to escalate the war.
Let’s consider the economic aspects of the conflict as they are quite possibly intertwined with the political.
Strategically it’s in Russia’s interest to control the pace and draw out the conflict. It bleeds UKR and the West financially as it makes the sanctions counter-productive. Many of the short-term tactical ground objectives have been achieved and UKR is pretty much crippled and incapable of significant actions outside of Western intervention.
Zelensky is on borrowed time and will be lucky to escape with his life. Donbas and Lugansk will stay Russian and Putin will have a front row seat as NATO fractures and the Western banking system fails.
This would never have happened if it hadn’t been for the Americans and NATO.
It would have been over in April had it not been for the Americans and Great Britain.
There is nothing for Russia as the US and NATO continually state clearly they was to eliminate Russia.
Exactly what is the US and NATO (although I repeat myself) interest in Russian Genocide?
They may get more than they expected,
If the assholes would all get together in one building, that would be helpful.
Where is the MSM on screeching ‘war crimes’??? People are going to die if they cannot grow food…
The UK should expect some fairly serious pay back…. although it will probably be covert and possibly quite a while in the future.
