It's one thing to talk about Kiev, given their last attempt of 3 days and gazillion mines up there at Belarus border, nowadays, but - Odesa. It has to be it, the vodka + watching the Saving Private Ryan/D Day, no any other explanation.
The Ghost of Kyiv: Who Is the Legendary Pilot of the Russo-Ukrainian War?
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has revealed the origins of The Ghost of Kyiv, the legendary Ukrainian pilot who shot down 40 Russian aircraft, including six on the first day of the full-scale invasion.
Ukraine Defense Intelligence warns civilians to not use the Kerch Strait Crimean Bridge. It is possibly just bluster to keep the Russians worrying and having to commit more and more resources to defending Crimea.
On the other hand, everyone knows that Ukraine is in a vulnerable, weakened position these days and they would like to reverse that perception by taking the bridge down. That is why they took the Moskva down early on, and why they hit the bridge the first and the second times. So even if it is just bluster, it is the kind of bluster that the Ruskies need to worry about. BIGTIME.
The Ukrainians play three dimensional chess a bit with that bridge. For example, they threatened the bridge with lots of drones so the Ruskies moved more air defenses down from Belgorod and Rostov to Crimea. Then the Ukrainians attacked Belgorod and Rostov. Then Vlad ordered more air defenses to sent down form Moscow to defend Belgorod andRostov. So then the Ukrainians started to attack Moscow with more drones. And so it goes. They are also threatening the bridge to try to lure the Black Sea fleet back to Crimea so that they can attack them. Right now the fleet is hiding somewhere off in the Sea of Azov like little pussies.
Take that bridge down. Ukrainian intelligence announces new surprises in Crimea
