Ukraine said its forces destroyed a key railway bridge in Crimea, as it seeks to isolate the Russian-occupied peninsula. The fresh attacks come as it was reported how one of Russia's most significant oil refineries is unlikely to resume production for six months after being hit by Ukrainian drones.

Decent analysis. Something seems to be brewing on the ground as Russian air defenses get thinner and thinner.

When you watch the video, pay attention to how many civilian vehicles are just driving around as these supply trucks get destroyed next to them. Some regular ass Russian people are just driving to work, and a death drone rips over the roof of the car to detonate on the supply truck tailgating them. jfc.

Hey Algae Caligula, does Ukraine have the cards now?

Must be a rhetorical question, my pool is glass and the coating intact.

The line to leave Crimea is now 2000 cars long. The line to enter Crimea is 0 cars long. All fuel sales to civilians have been suspended.

In one of the most surreal pieces of war footage yet, Russia hits their oil fuel depot with a surface to air missile, which then throws the lid of this oil tank a thousand feet in the air.

Russia hits their own fuel depot. Own goal.

Aged like milk. At least he survived to be captured.

Russia has this in the bag. Any day now, they'll be marching down main street Kyiv.

Kinda juicy seeing all those wealthy beach-going Muscovites trapped behind the lines in Occupied Crimea with no fuel to get home; getting a bit of a taste of the war they brought on Ukraine.

Not to mention seeing Vlad having to protect or destroy his palaces and villas north of the city.

And there is not a thing any Russian citizen can do about it.

I've been saying for some years now that Russian fascist army will lose. It's not about the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog. Power to the people of Ukraine!

Russians are still grinding forward 1 trench at a time.

Hmmm...what was the stupidest war started during my lifetime? Born just after WWII, I think I would have to say it is a tie, Putin attacking Ukraine and my country, the US, deciding to totally engage in Vietnam. But still, Trump could decide to order boots on the ground in Iran...

More like never. They're not getting to Kiev, but they're also not getting pushed out of Donbas. Send in the lawyers for the negotiated settlement.

Sounds like the scariest job in the world right now is a Russian truck driver. Drones are picking them out at intersections during normal daily driving traffic.
