Damage to Russian Black Sea Ship 'Significant' After Crimea Strike: Ukraine
Newsweek ^ | November 6, 2023 | Isabel van Brugen

Posted on 11/09/2023 5:18:03 AM PST by Timber Rattler

Ukrainian attack on a shipyard in annexed eastern Crimea last week caused "significant" damage, a Ukrainian military spokesperson has said.

Ukraine's Southern Command spokesperson Natalia Humeniuk made the remarks on national television on Sunday, commenting on the November 4 strike by Ukraine on the Zaliv shipyard, also referred to as Butoma, in Kerch, which reportedly hit Russian cruise-missile carrier Askold.

Schemes, a project by U.S.-funded Radio Liberty, published satellite images by California-based global-imaging company Planet Labs that appear to show the aftermath of the strike on the vessel, which is armed with a Kalibr strike missile system.

"As for the strike on the Kerch shipyard, the aftermath has not yet been fully verified, but we are talking about the fact that the strike was powerful, successful, and absolutely legitimate, since these are assets that ensure the enemy's combat capability," said Humeniuk.

Crimea has become, and will remain, untenable for Muscovite naval activities and operations, now and in the future.

This happened days ago and your posse keeps dragging this story out like it is new news.

Puty lost a boat and Ukraine is still losing.

This strike isn’t worth 70 billion US dollars we don’t have.

Oh, stop it with the propaganda. Both sides are stupid about it.

Ukraine is not “losing”. Russia lost, its objectives unmet and unmeetable. And it completely destroyed its economy and military in the process.

Now, can Russia hold on to a sliver of land and drag Ukraine to a halt? Absolutely. For a while, anyway.

“Only those losing debates attack the source rather than address and try to refute the points made by a source. You just proved you can’t refute the points made, not surprising in the least in your case.”

LOL!

You canuckian Turdeau-lovers will be getting plenty of Palestinivermin to keep you occupied, presently.

You can thank "The Putin", Justine Castreau's other Daddy, for that.

It is to laugh.

Check out how "The Putin" is owning this angry canadian neocon, dforest.

Holy Smokes - there are still freepers who believe the Lame Stream Media.

The Ukies are dying by the bloody dumpster load - but it's the Russians that are "losing".

Zaluzhnyi is begging for his fourth or fifth army, and the StupeKrainians are admitting they don't have enough guys to use the weapons they are getting.

The weapons that aren't being sold on the black market to buy new digs in Monaco and Luzern, that is.

you Russian stooges seem to trouble accepting Russia’s huge losses

and you still can’t explain why Russia is bogged down less than 100 miles from their borders, by a country 1/40th of their size

in 2 weeks, this war will enter its 22nd month

that’s 1-4 of the way thru a 7-year war

enjoy another 5 years of them sanctions, Russia! lol
