Explosions in Russia and the occupied Crimea – the main thing

Recently, “bavovna” has noticeably become more frequent at military facilities of Russian troops in the occupied Crimea and on the territory of Russia itself. For example, on May 1, Sevastopol was allegedly again attacked by sea drones, and after the explosion at the oil depot in Kazachya Bay on April 29, it  became more difficult for Russians to refuel warships . 

Near Bryansk, partisans derailed the second train in two days. 20 freight cars and a locomotive derailed.

Ukraine does not hide that it intends to liberate Crimea by military means, which, in turn,  was spoken by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov , and President Volodymyr Zelensky. Expert Aleksey Arestovich later noted that the Kerch Bridge would be the first to be hit in Crimea. 

At the first stage, the Ukrainian forces would have to  deliver long-range strikes against the military infrastructure of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, at the second – to hit other important targets for the invaders in order to make the peninsula unsuitable for the troops of the army of the aggressor country, the former commander of the US Army in Europe, Lieutenant General, explained earlier. Retired Ben Hodges.
