    ◽On June 30, as a goodwill gesture, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation finished fulfilling the assigned tasks in Snake Island and withdrew the garrison that had been operating there.

    ◽The Russian Federation has demonstrated to the international society the absence of any obstacles for the efforts of UN to establish a humanitarian corridor for transporting agricultural products from Ukraine.......
    ........

    This is complete horseshit, what relevance does Russian retreat from that island have with transportation of agricultural goods?

    Ships won't be travelling over that island

    If they wanted to move agricultural good by sea all they had to do was to move them, status of the island is irrelevant



    Looks to me like another pathetic attempt by Russia to win PR cookie points which as everyone could have told them failed immediately:

    Russian Forces Have Been Driven From Snake Island

    https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/russian-forces-have-finally-been-driven-from-snake-island

    Following heavy Ukrainian bombardment, Russian forces have now performed a “tactical withdrawal” from the strategic outpost in the Black Sea.



    I am sure that families of all those Russian grunts who died there are super happy about their boys giving their lives for futile PR stunt

    Orion production plant to work in three shifts


    https://lenta.ru/news/2022/06/30/orion/

    The company's Kronshtadt plant in Dubna, which produces Orion reconnaissance and attack drones, will start operating in three shifts. This was announced by Deputy General Director of the company Alexey Belykh at a meeting with employees of the Dubna Machine-Building Plant (DMZ), RIA Novosti reports.

    "The new plant for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles in order to fulfill the orders received will soon switch to a three-shift operation mode. In this regard, the company "Kronshtadt" continues to recruit staff. Applicants are offered partial compensation for rental housing, assistance with transport, work clothes and VHI policies. For young professionals and workers without experience, the company implements mentoring and training programs, " he said.

    It is noted that the Orion drones are used during a special military operation in Ukraine. The drone can carry up to 200 kilograms of combat load and stay in the air for up to 24 hours.

    I believe I wrote something about this some 3 months ago, about Kronshtadt doing double shifts, and posting ads for additional workforce. Dubna factory wasn't entirely up and running though.

    I suppose now it is. And I take it they solved the engine issue (wasn't a biggie, just a typical unforeseen bottleneck)

    Maybe because Russians aren't suicidal and not wanting to start a greater war?

    As to why they didn't take out those batteries is because the Ukrainians are hiding the artillery in Odessa city proper, meaning once again, civilians used as shields.

    The island served its purpose. Regaining it a second time didn't make much sense but it is what it is.  Russia still winning the conflict because twitter and CNN isn't going to win the war.

    The exchange of around 40 Azov POWs as part of a larger group has triggered the usual Russian chicken little hysteria.
    This is one thing that really gets under my skin. All the sanctimonious, dogmatic BS over irrelevant issues. "We were
    promised that no Azov POWs would be exchanged, how dare they go back on their word". GTFO, morons. There is
    something called pragmatism and situational flexibility. Take your zealot "purist" philosophy of life and shove it up your
    asses.

    And the families of the hundreds more Ukrainian grunts who died there and thereabouts? Russian losses were minimal there, as they are elsewhere.

    Moscow was kind of dumb though, well, in retrospect, to cement its hold over that island. As I mentioned earlier, the entire thing was only to deny Zelensky's retarded leadership some propaganda stuff, but ironically all the effort it took to do so kind of made Moscow look retarded.

    Sure, they shot down another gazillion freaking useless Bayraktars, as is typical, but they just keep coming.

    It's like when the VDV was stuck on a hill in Afghanistan and U.S-supported mujahedeen were just throwing themselves at the Soviet position. At the end of the day the Soviets lost 6 men, the U.S-supported jihadis lost 200+, but eventually the Soviets had to evacuate, because the waves just kept coming and it was just a hill (hill "3234" according to Soviet war maps)...

    Same thing occured in the Caucasus a bunch of times in the 1990s and early 2000s. Incidentally, those islamist warriors were also U.S. supported, though more covertly than during the Afghan war.

    I rather exchange those lowlife scum for my own people any day. So I don't see an issue. If someone does, it's because they don't value the life of the others like the pilots who were captured but exchanged doe the azov losers. Rather have the pilots back.

    As for the whining regarding the snake island, this is second time Russia left the island. Let us not forget the pull back in Kharkov. Now Russia is back in and Ukrainians fleeing.

    But whatever. Not like us talking about it changes anything. Some will continue to fling trash in the topic and some will cry about failures. What's still important is Russias continuous gains in Ukraine. Snake island will sit idle. If Ukraine takes it, then they will be in a world of hurt again. But doesn't seem like they are interested in taking it as they may have learned lessons from last time.

    You're right, it was thatcher who lost multiple of warships.

    For a small island(s).

    Compared to what Russia has captured now.  I rather have the donbass, Kherson, Lhugansk than Falklands.

    ‼Russian troops destroyed a battery of howitzers in the southwest of Kharkov

    As early as June 24, the Russian military reported the destruction of a battery of M777 howitzers near the village of Oleshki, Kharkiv region.

    Today, a subscriber working at the Kharkov Transport Plant shared some interesting information with us:

    The plant received several M777 howitzers, which were badly damaged. According to the subscriber, the military at the plant said that the Russians covered them somewhere near Kharkov, and the equipment is not as pitiful as "a dozen boys who specially learned to use them at the end of last year in Germany"

    On our own behalf, we add that next to Western weapons there are usually instructors and technical personnel from NATO countries, whose fates are always hidden.

    Factory opened only in December. It's not possible to start working in three shifts immediately. I don't think it is completely finished, as well.

    And Russia managed to keep kherson, donbass and Lugansk.

    Sailing long distance with a massive fleet, what's the point?  They still managed to lose ships and Argentina still gave up since no one backed them. Ukraine has entire west including Japan backing them and flooding it with weapons.  Ukraine being better armed and larger than most European states.

    The war isn't over yet so you can complain about it after the fact.

    I would wager Ukraine military is far better equipped and prepared than Argentina was during the Falkland war. Also Falkland was defense against offense while Russia is on offense while Ukraine is on defense. Rather different situations.

    And that is the point too, nothing to do with conflict other than the fact UK under thatcher was unwilling to give up the islands but still decided to fight the war while Russia is also fighting a war to force either Kiev to give up or to slowly liquidate Ukraine.
