That would be one of the best ways to get this grain exported.

Good article - it echoes a lot of thinking on these shores too.

Yep, crazy not to let them mash Russian military targets regardless of where they are. Fuck 'em |

Bit it's amateurish analysis. Russia saying drone strike on Black sea fleet HQ has caused them to cancel navy day celebrations, Ukraine denies it. Fake attack as excuse for not doing the celebration due to fear of actual attack or because they don't have any resource left?. Again, wish I was a fly on a wall |

That so-called drone strike in Sevastopol is very fishy. It's a long way from the front line and beyond the range of any small drone, especially a reportedly improvised one. And a heavily militarized naval base with high security. And it seems unlikely that there's a resistance movement there.

The massacre of POWs at Olenivka, on the other hand -- pretty obvious what happened there.

As you might expect I'm on an "old boys" forum that has a deep interest in this particular area and the general feeling is that this is all bollocks and nothing more than an attempt by Russia to 1) give some justification to supposed retaliatory measures but also 2) put in place an excuse for not having the resources to properly celebrate their navy day. HQ BLKFLT always made a massive deal out it. |

^ or 3) they are shit scarred Ukraine has some ability to attack them properly if they start dicking around at sea. Either way they look weak. Which I guess is good |

Some uncomfortable reading here: amnesty.org.uk But how you're supposed to defend your homes without actually being among them is unclear to me. |
