It's the only bridge linking southern Odessa oblast to the rest of Ukraine, and has been the route that fuel/ammo from Romania and Bulgaria has taken.

But Bellingcat claimed Russia is runnig out of missiles! They wouldn´t lie.
They ARE...but you know they have these things called "FACTORIES" lol
Actually US MoD said Russia has still most of its stock of missiles like last week.
Belingcat is a trash source created by UK and some dumbass gay jeyboard wartior, tge same as those osint accounts on twitter. Not worth even mentioning their lies here.

It is simply not wise.
Russia was unable to stop that process back then, it was the sole decision of sovereign countries, and that is the end of the story.
How far with revisionism are we going?
OK, let's consider that this is a negotiation stand, and both sides can move in both directions - I agree.
But at the moment, and considering the effect of the ongoing operation, it will be Russia in heavy advantage over NATO.
With Crimea, Russia controls the whole Black Sea, and reaches deep into both Romania and Bulgaria.
As soon as they will take Odessa - and that is a matter of time rather than a decision in my opinion - they will landlock the remains of Ukr, granting it's economic and social misery. Russian security playground will be the remains of Ukraine, weak NATO countries and Moldova. With Belarus effectively outflanking&blocking any attempts of land operation. Kaliningrad enclave is there, and can be reached in 2 days if needed with a land corridor.
It is Russia that operates the weapon capable to attack any target in Europe without leaving its own territory, airspace or sea.
The whole Europe air defense is weaker than the Ukrainian one. Systems are incapable to deal with both hypersonic and cruise weapons.
The coverage against UAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles, and tube artillery is nonexisting.
Sure that it is a very good position to start negotiate, but sometimes one can push too hard.

It is a really good time for Moscow to stop shaking the saber, and present a nice face of mutual interests.
Sure the EU politicians will ignore that, but there are elections around.
They won't be able to ignore that forever.

But allowing this aid in to kill Russian boys is negligence IMHO. All incoming lines from the west need to be blown. Sections of highway should also be hit with buker busters so they are taken out for a few weeks, and any attempts to fix them attacked. Each truck if aid could me 5-10 dead russians or worse. WTF is Modova sending oil in? Shut of their power if they don't agree to stop.

The huge difference is that it is not France and not UK that are pushing or even capable of pushing a confrontation between NATO and Russia. They also have no tactical nukes in Poland and Poland wouldn't accept French tactical nukes in their country, while the US can do as they like in the occupied countries. The US was also the only country that ever used Nukes and it was not a military target. They have little to lose if they use tactical nukes while the retaliation would be immediate targeting PONOS countries not the US.

If Bryansk was a drone attack, that would mean that AA defences were asleep at the wheel or their coverage is not sufficient. Bryansk is not exactly right next to the border, like Belgorod is. It is about 100 km in straight line from closest point.
The cost of himars is irrelevant as Ukraine is getting it for free.
Says who?
Russia routinely targeted mixed military/civilian convoys in Syria, this would be nothing new
What's so special about Nazi Ukrainians that makes them entitled to special treatment?
Does that word salad imply a Russian false flag or simply a sabotage op by the Ukies.
Some people don't like to have the sanctity of their butthole breached.
Call it pure masculine machoism. Others clearly, by their own words don't mind a finger or two doing work, as long as they can reciprocate in a disproportionate manner.
It's not just "Gayto" after all. Surprise.
Time for these fellas to give up really. No glory to be had in being taken out by a 152mm shell that you don't even hear or see coming
Why would anyone reasonably expect that these people would have a worse opinion of their own extended kin than of "dirty Slavs".
But it's complicated for a country like Pakistan to be openly aligned with the US.
Russia can't be lazy, and Kiev doesn't give a damn about Peskovs "threats".
Looks like some flight control system failure. No smoke, nothing, just a flatspin.
Under normal circumstances it should be easily recoverable, but technical failures do occur.
I wonder what will happen to the 15 Su-35 produced for the Egyptian Air Force. BMPD Livejournal has already written that their assumption is that these planes will be handed over to the Russian Air Force.
Well, my opinion is, that Russkies hold the missile stock just in case if NATO would think of doing something stupid.
This means USA does not have too good intelligence on Russia. They don't have sources which would know what is really going on in MOD.
New western volunteers.
So can he fit into a BTR or BMP?
It's become a bit of a trope to label things as "Orwellian" but this behavior was literally what Orwell, as a war correspondent observed in 1936 and based his subsequent dystopian novels on.

The OSCE staff in Mariupol abandoned their archive. All OSCE field reports since 2014 were found, with reportedly thousands of Ukrainian war crimes that were documented, but which were not reported by the OSCE in their official documents.
UAV ( a small one) can be adapted to land on rail_track and plant a device! This device is small and sits under or beside the rail. Designed to work, when train makes contact, with wheels. Can land anywhere in Europe, especially near border area. No need to waste missiles or planes flying over. Same with Roads, land beside Road and drop a Rock. Wait for " lethal aid" to pass by!
F***, it's gonna happen isn't it? We're going to stumble into thermonuclear apocalypse aren't we?
* GARRY, please add the swastika among the smilies so I can hang it every time I mention Banderistan.
Is anyone else puzzled why it took so long for Russia to act to take out the rail network in Ukraine?
Phase 1 was a mistake, no need to overthink it at this point. Russians were reluctant to hit fuel storages no long ago as well. This is what happens when you put political goals before military goals. Now it seems the military is in charge of this show (both tempo and targets have changed drastically)
I was thinking, Russia must also has in its stock piles in hundreds, if not thousands, of the old Kh-55 cruise missiles manufactured in the 80s and early 90s. Are they also using them? Their range is low compared to the newer KH-101 but certainly can reach all of Ukraine. This should be really cheap way to take out enemy infrastructure compared to using the more expensive Kalibr and Kh-101s.
Russia has no definite plans to invade Europe and NATO can only dream of declaring war against Russia. Only armchair generals and PC warriors would advocate a nuclear exchange.
This possible scenario revolves around a botched S-300F launch, and its not especially relevent as to why a missile was fired.
And how in detail would that change situation, considering that both France and th UK has own nukes?
