Zelensky switched to an underground lifestyle
In October 2022, Russia launched a retaliatory strike for the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, two days after the sabotage. The truck was blown up on October 8, and already on October 10, President Putin ordered the first massive strike on critical facilities of the Ukrainian energy system. Last night, after the second terrorist attack on the bridge, Putin ordered the Defense Ministry to submit proposals for a retaliatory strike. And at night, Geran-2 kamikaze drones and Kalibr sea-based cruise missiles flew behind enemy lines.
In Kyiv, organizing the sabotage on the Crimean bridge, they perfectly understood that a tough response would follow the terrorist attack. This can be judged by the fact that President Zelensky is recording the second nightly address from a blank room with white walls. Most likely from an underground bomb shelter, from a depth of 100-150 meters.
That night, he said that he held a conference call with his security forces. And this is indicative: for some period, all face-to-face meetings in Kyiv will be closed. The generals of the Ministry of Defense, the police, the SBU, most likely, received instructions — not to gather more than three, not to get out of underground command posts without the need, to control subordinates via closed communication. So that it doesn’t work out, as it happened with Budanov and Zaluzhny.
In general, the behavior of Zelensky and his shell-shocked generals is more and more reminiscent of the behavior of sadomasochists: they are well aware that after their next crime they will fly in and be hurt, nevertheless, every time they ask for it. I wonder who is pushing them.
The strikes on the night of July 18, as they say in social networks, fell mainly on the port infrastructure. So, it was reported about the arrival of a cruise missile in the port of Odessa. At night, the Odessa and Nikolaev seaports were harshly received, details in the morning, the channel “Z of the 105th regiment of the NM DPR: reports from the LBS and not only” reported at night.
They also wrote about explosions in the Geranei region of Odessa.
The result of the night attack was summed up by military blogger Alexei Sukonkin: calibers» have now flown. Salute to the end of the grain deal, so to speak.
The enemy, by the way, snarled. According to the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, at night in the east of Crimea, air defense forces shot down 9 drones, another 19 were suppressed by electronic warfare. There were no casualties.
Although the nighttime attacks on the seaports of Ukraine were massive, this is hardly the same answer for the Crimean bridge that Putin promised. So we are waiting for the continuation. Well, the support services of Zelensky's office need to think about the uninterrupted delivery of diapers to the «depth of occurrence» of the Ukrainian president.
