Ukraine Is Turning The Tide Against Russian Navy In Black Sea
Russia's navy is, by any measure, more powerful than Ukraine's. But the war is not going all their way. At sea, the Russian Navy is finding itself retreating from a large swathe of the Black Sea.

Russia is sending a ragtag “suicide battalion” of former police, sailors, reservists and volunteers into the bloody Ukraine invasion.
The hastily recruited mob replaces a section of Moscow’s invasion force almost entirely massacred early in the war.
Out of 648 troops from the 200th Motorised Rifle Brigade, 645 were killed.
Just three men returned home, two wounded, from the bungled operation.
It is believed the recruits have been lured with short-term contracts.
One western source told the Daily Mirror: “This is more like a suicide battalion. They are likely to be sent into the grinding battle in the east.”
Ukrainian military officials believe 36,000 Russian troops have died in the war, leaving Moscow desperate.
Bruce Jones, an expert on Russia ’s military, said: “For many volunteering this will amount to a one-way ticket. The recruiters and trainers know this.”
He said volunteers will be “desperate for cash, barely suitable and poorly equipped”.
It comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin ’s hollow congratulations to troops after taking Lysychansk, marking Moscow’s domination of the Luhansk region. It leaves just Donetsk as the remaining Donbas region Russia is eyeing.
But one adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed: “This is their last victory on Ukrainian territory.

The Russian soldiers are under a lot of stress these days.
Quite a few of them like to have a few drinks to unwind at the end of the day.

Russian Troops’ Embarrassing Drunkfest in Ukraine Prompts Alcohol Bans
Russian troops are hitting the bottle so hard that they're banned from buying alcohol in some regions of partly occupied territories in Ukraine, according to General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The soldiers are getting so drunk while trying to fight in the war in Ukraine that they’re causing serious incidents in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine, the Ukrainian military said.
“This leads to numerous disciplinary violations and serious misdemeanors,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said Wednesday.
The drunken Russian troops’ excessive habit to enjoy a tipple is allegedly causing car accidents, firearm violations, and other incidents while intoxicated.
