Ukrainian ammunition train destroyed – Russian MOD
Russian forces have destroyed a Ukrainian train carrying up to 200 tons of ammunition, Moscow’s Defense Ministry claimed on Sunday. The strike reportedly occurred in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic, near the city of Kramatorsk, which remains under Ukrainian control.

The Russian military has also been actively targeting Ukrainian artillery units, the ministry spokesman, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, announced during a media briefing.

“Over the past 24 hours, tactical and army aviation, missile and artillery units of the Russian Armed Forces hit 82 Ukrainian artillery units at their firing positions, manpower and equipment in 115 areas,” Konashenkov stated.

The attack on the train appears to the largest military gain of the day, but earlier Russian forces also claimed a strike on a command post of Ukraine’s 81st airborne brigade near the village of Belogorovka, in Lugansk People’s Republic.

Over the past few days, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have been ramping up long-range strikes against each other.

On Saturday, the Russian military claimed the destruction of a major Ukrainian command center, responsible for operations of Kiev’s southern troops. The bombing was carried out with sea-based cruise missiles, according to Moscow.

Earlier this week, the Russian military launched a major missile salvo at Ukraine, targeting multiple groupings of Ukrainian military reserves. The military said the strike was a success, and prevented the redeployment of reserves toward the front line.

During the bombardment, a multi-story residential building was damaged in the Ukrainian city of Uman, with more than 20 civilians killed, according to Kiev. While it was not immediately clear what exactly hit the building, Ukrainian authorities have blamed Moscow for the incident. However, Kiev’s own troops have hit civilian targets in the country – and even beyond – with air defense projectiles on multiple occasions during the conflict, which has been raging since February 2022.

Ukraine, meanwhile, has intensified the shelling of Russia’s border regions, including the city of Donetsk, which has been subjected to artillery and rocket attacks on an almost daily basis. On Friday the city endured a massive shelling, which destroyed and damaged multiple residential buildings and critical infrastructure, leaving at least nine civilians dead and over a dozen injured.

Overnight, Kiev’s forces shelled the village of Suzemka in Russia’s Bryansk Region, killing at least four civilians according to the local Governor, Aleksandr Bogomaz.

Some quite literally refreshing news here as the many years long water blockade in the Donbass appears to have now ended

The news of the day today is by no means a missile attack on Ukraine. Although it turned out to be extremely successful, it flew throughout the night to many places of concentration of equipment, warehouses of ammunition, the dispositions of the AFU. There is a jackpot in Pavlograd.

But the main news is the end of the water blockade of Donbass. Specialists of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation launched the Don-Donetsk water pipeline.

The problem with NATO doctrine is that they still act as though mentally scarred from world wars one and two.

Pathologically afraid of Verdun and the Somme repeating themselves so they practice rapid dominance, so-called "shock and awe", that kind of thing so that they can establish quick wins.

The problem is they're never really accounted for guided missiles or not having the freedom to mount unrestricted air strikes. Their reliance on aviation has meant their artillery has atrophied, so they're going to have a hard time fighting against people that can fight on their level like Russia.

The Bild publication, citing its sources, writes that when crossing the Dnieper , the Armed Forces of Ukraine intend to use small operational special forces on kayaks.

“They are silent and small in size, difficult to see at night. A special coating is applied on board so that they cannot be detected by a night vision device, ” says BILD.

I had to share this. I'm a fairly experienced kayaker (and I expect some other members here are as well), and I can tell you definitively from the photo that these guys are complete novices who have little idea what they're doing.

The Dneipr river is wide and with considerable flow (especially since it's been raining so hard), and it's very hard even with experience to control a kayak crossing the flow of a big river if it's heavily laden, e.g. with military hardware.

If they can cross the river undetected at night and without mishap, they'll be really really lucky. Do please post any updates on the outcome of this dangerous stunt if you happen to catch them.

~~~

Sure enough. This is all rather indistinct, but when the video countdown timer reaches 8 seconds one can see that one of the boats capsized (just to left of center screen), leaving the two kayakers in the water. One can guess what probably happened after that.

Ravenlocke does a fantastic job, posting important news and updates way almost always before I manage to get to try to do the same.

I don't follow any Twitter accounts (I don't use and will not use a cellphone), but I do follow the Telegram account of Donbass Devushka. That's simple to do on any web browser, and one doesn't have to have a Telegram account.

Posts are updated sometimes every few minutes, not only re Ukraine but concerning all aspects of the multipolar world order, politicians in the news, and geopolitical events everywhere. And there are regular fun light relief posts as well.

The style is sometimes witty, fierce and scathing, and I remember a while ago our own beloved (and similarly witty, fierce, and scathing ) Mashika* was asked if Donbass Devushka was her. (No, it wasn't. )

• https://t.me/s/DDGeopolitics
  
  

* To Bruce! You joined the forum a few days before Mashika (her real name is 'Masha') went on sabbatical. She was and is one of Avalon's very brightest stars, a most, most remarkable young Russian woman in her 20s who served voluntarily in the Donbass militia as a teenage infantry soldier.

Some of her posts about her experiences are the most profound, moving and thought-provoking personal accounts I have ever read. She combines those with piercing geopolitical commentary and (often merciless!) humor. (What she would have written about the hapless Ukrainian kayakers can only be imagined.)

She speaks three languages, is one of the brightest people I have ever come to know, and has an enormous heart. In a few days she'll have been on sabbatical for a full 3 months, her longest time away from the forum. She's greatly missed, we have no current information about her at all, and we all hope she will return soon.
