On April 29, 2024, the Russia-Ukraine war entered its 796th day.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the Kamath Automobile Assembly Plant in the city of Cherny on the Kama River in the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Ukraine, was attacked and caught fire...
Also yesterday, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine hit the Russian 48Y6 Podlet K-1 radar with a Polish-made Warmate attack drone in Krasnaya Polyana, Belgorod region. This radar system detects the coordinates of the target and transmits it to the S-300/S-400 air defense system.
This is the second day in a row that Ukraine has launched an attack on the Russian mainland.
On April 27, Ukrainian drones launched a massive attack near Kushchovskaya Airport in Krasnodar Krai, destroying a warehouse that housed UPMK kits used to upgrade duds into precision-guided gliding bombs — powerful gliding bombs that allowed Russia to storm cities by razing them, as they did in Avdiivka.
In addition, satellite images show that several aircraft may have been damaged by attacks on several sites at the airport, which has Su-27, MiG-29 and L-39 aircraft.
Back to the Ukrainian battlefield.
On the Bakhmut front, the Ukrainian army repelled the Russian offensive on Chasov Yar, destroying three armored vehicles and two infantry assault groups.
Over the past week, there has been no noticeable change of the front in this direction, and it seems that the Ukrainian army has stabilized the situation.
In addition, Commander-in-Chief Syrsky said that the Ukrainian army has also improved its tactical positions near the forests of Synkivka (Kupyansk) and Sellebryansk (Lyman direction).
On the Avadiivka front, the Russian army is still advancing very slowly.
Recently, they changed their tactics, first using drones to reconnoitre, and then sending small units to constantly attack, which created a lot of trouble for the Ukrainian army, so that the 47th Brigade, which should have been rotated, had to continue to stay on the front line and stop the Russian army from advancing as much as possible.
In addition, the problem of insufficient ammunition still plagues the Ukrainian defenders. However, the Institute for the Study of War believes that the issue is likely to be resolved in the coming weeks.
On the Dnieper front, in the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian army has repelled the Russian offensive near Klinki and liberated the island of Nestryha.
In the Crimean direction, Ukraine attacked Russian air defense forces at Cape Tarhankut last night, allegedly using ATACMS missiles, the exact results of which are not yet known.
In addition, a huge explosion sounded in the Razdorne region of northern Crimea on the border with Jankoy, most likely, it was also hit by a missile strike. ‘
Recently, the Ukrainian army has been constantly attacking the air defense systems of the Crimea and the Black Sea coast, and it is obvious that it is going to attack the Crimean bridge.
There is information that the British MI6 (MI6) and NATO are jointly developing a plan for the Crimean bridge attack in May. Many Ukrainian friends speculate that the Ukrainian army is likely to demolish this illegal building on May 9, that is, before Russia's Victory Day, or even on the same day, I think this possibility is not small.
The Lithuanian ambassador to Sweden joked yesterday in a post on social media that if someone hasn't already taken a picture of the Crimean bridge, now is the time.
Yesterday's results announced by the General Staff of Ukraine were 1000+ again.
Let's take a look at the other news.
Two Ukrainian soldiers undergoing rehabilitation were stabbed to death by a Russian yesterday in Germany, where the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany suspects a state motive behind the murder.
The Cuban mercenaries in the 428th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Russian Army killed the commander, once again confirming that the command of the Russian army is unable to control the mercenaries from overseas.
Yevgeny Litschko, deputy chief of staff of Russia's Central Military District, was confirmed dead in a missile attack on the Russian army headquarters in Luhansk on April 13.
The Ukrainian army yesterday struck the concentration points of Russian troops in the Donetsk region and the Zaporozhye region with JDAM, and it is likely that it is the latest arrival of US military aid.
The British Ministry of Defense plans to accelerate the pace of production of the Storm Shadow missiles in response to the current crisis.
Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsk said in his speech yesterday that "it is very naïve to think that Russia's imperial ambitions will only stop in Ukraine." At the moment, Russia is the biggest threat to European countries".
Coincidentally, Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski also warned that a victorious Putin could mobilize Ukrainian industry and people to wage war, potentially escalating into a direct threat to NATO countries, including Poland.
The feeling of a direct threat from Russia is the fundamental reason why the closer a country is to Russia, the more resolute it is to support Ukraine.
Many people say that the US imperialism and Europe support Ukraine out of self-interest considerations.
I have never denied this. It is important to know that actions that are purely morally underpinned are never sustainable.
In fact, both morality and the international order are, in the long run, to safeguard the common interests of all mankind. The measure of whether a country's actions are in line with morality is not to see whether the country has benefited from it, but to see whether it has upheld the fairness, justice or common interests of human society.
So, criticizing Russia's helpers and praising Ukraine's teammates is not a double standard, although they all have their own interests to consider...
