Some of the snooty western reporters are reporting the flaws of the russia military tactics. Like fuck off, don't give the enemy a breather to change their tactics.

Yeah I can see your point, but personally I love reading how Putin is getting his teeth kicked in. Sorry not sorry, but I like seeing an underdog curb stomp a bully who started a fight. And I gotta believe that seeing these reports is inspiring to the Ukrainian people. If he woulda kept his army in Russia, the world might still believe in the myth of the unstoppable Russian army. Ukrainians were minding their own business when little Putler decided to invade Ukraine.

Agree to disagree here, anon. I say bring on more stories like this when they happen.

I want to be super careful not to glorify war here. That is not my point. Ukraine is defending itself, Russia is the aggressor here. Putin started the war and he can end it by going back across the border, back to Russia.

Anyway, I fully support Ukraine here, just like I would support any other country that was resisting American colonialism. This is no different. Imperialism is imperialism is imperialism. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

“Two more ships carrying grain have left Ukraine's Chornomorsk port, Turkey's Defence Ministry said on Saturday, bringing the total number of vessels to leave Ukraine's Black Sea ports under a U.N.-brokered grain export deal to 27.

The Zumrut Ana and MV Ocean S, which are authorized to depart on Aug. 20, were loaded with 6,300 tonnes of sunflower oil and 25,000 tonnes of wheat respectively, the joint coordination centre set up to enable safe passage said in a statement.

Ukraine's Sea Ports Authority said on Saturday three Ukrainian seaports had begun loading food onto seven ships, which would deliver 66,500 tonnes of wheat, corn and sunflower oil to consumers.

Ukraine's grain exports have slumped since the start of the war because its Black Sea ports - a vital route for shipments - were closed, driving up global food prices and prompting fears of shortages in Africa and the Middle East.

At the end of July, three Black Sea ports were unblocked under a deal between Moscow and Kyiv, brokered by the United Nations and Turkey.

The Authority said on Facebook the port of Chornomorsk had moored the bulk carriers Andan Toplak, Filyoz and Maranta, while Odesa port had begun loading the Ganosaya and Kubrosli Y.

“A Russian missile hit a residential area of a Ukrainian town, wounding 12 civilians and heightening fears of a nuclear accident during the war in Ukraine, Ukrainian officials said.

Vitaliy Kim, the governor of Mykolaiv, said on the Telegram messaging app that four children were among those wounded in an attack that damaged several private houses and a five-storey apartment building in Voznesensk.

Reuters reports:

The town is about 30 km (19 miles) from the Pivdennoukrainsk Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP), the second largest in Ukraine.

State-run Energoatom, which manages all four Ukrainian nuclear energy generators, described the attack on Voznesensk as “another act of Russian nuclear terrorism”.

“It is possible that this missile was aimed specifically at the Pivdennoukrainsk Nuclear Power Plant, which the Russian military tried to seize back at the beginning of March,” Energoatom said in a statement.

The town of Enerhodar, where the Zaporizhzhia plant – Europe’s largest – is located, has come under repeated shelling, with Moscow and Kyiv trading blame for the attacks.”
