P.S. See where the answer is why the Russian imperialists did not have tanks in the orc army parade in Moscow.

Daily Wrap Up August 13, 2022

Under the cut:

Two more ships carrying grain left from Ukraine's Black Sea ports on Saturday, Turkey's defence ministry said, bringing the total number of vessels to depart the country under a U.N.-brokered deal to 16

The two primary road bridges giving access to the pocket of Russian occupied territory on the west bank of the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast are now probably out of use for the purposes of substantial military resupply

Russian forces have taken full control of Pisky, a village on the outskirts in Ukraine’s Donetsk region

“Two more ships carrying grain left from Ukraine's Black Sea ports on Saturday, Turkey's defence ministry said, bringing the total number of vessels to depart the country under a U.N.-brokered deal to 16.

The Barbados-flagged Fulmar S left Ukraine's Chornomorsk port, carrying 12,000 tonnes of corn to Turkey's southern Iskenderun province, the ministry said. The Marshall Island-flagged Thoe departed from the same port and headed to Turkey's Tekirdag, carrying 3,000 tonnes of sunflower seeds.

Another ship was to depart from Turkey on Saturday to Ukraine to buy grains, the statement said.

Ukraine's infrastructure ministry said on Saturday that 16 ships carrying 450,000 tonnes of agriculture products had departed from Ukrainian sea ports since early August under the deal which ensured safe passage for vessels.

The agreement, signed by Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations in July amid warnings of possible outbreaks of famine, allowed grain exports from Ukraine's Black Sea ports to resume after being stalled for five months due to the war.”-via Reuters

“The two primary road bridges giving access to the pocket of Russian occupied territory on the west bank of the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast are now probably out of use for the purposes of substantial military resupply, British military intelligence said on Saturday.

Even if Russia manages to make significant repairs to the bridges, they will remain a key vulnerability, the UK's Ministry of Defence said.

"Ground resupply for the several thousand Russian troops on the west bank is almost certainly reliant on just two pontoon ferry crossing points," the ministry said in an intelligence update.

With their supply chain constrained, the size of any stockpiles Russia has managed to establish on the west bank is likely to be a key factor in the force’s endurance, according to the update.“-via Reuters

“Russian forces have taken full control of Pisky, a village on the outskirts in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, Interfax cited the Russian defence ministry as saying on Saturday.

Russian and pro-Russian forces had reported that they had taken full control of Pisky more than a week ago.

The ministry also said that Russian forces had destroyed a US-supplied HIMARS rocket system near the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk and a depot with ammunition for the system, Interfax reported.”-via The Guardian

Do you know why people pass their babies through the roots of trees like this one? If not then you evidently didn't watch my video on the "passing through" tradition. Once you have seen it you will also understand why someone has nailed a stone with a painting of a pixie to the root. #pisky #pixie #folkart #passingthrough #elf #magic #folklore #folkcustom (at Castle Hill, Filleigh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPAeodthPO/?utm_medium=tumblr

October is the month that Queen Chrysalis goes to the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic!

The museum is in Boscastle, in Cornwall, England.

Here is Queen Chrysalis looking at another stone with a hole in it, thinking how jolly useful they can be - you can see a pisky through one (maybe...), or thres one with a reds thread or ribbon to kee witches away, or use it as a charm, have eight on a cord to stop your horse bring ridden by piskies at night. Or you can use one as a key fob for your car keys. (It’s really difficult to lose your keys when there’s a fairly large rock tied to them.)
