Ukraine is doing all it can to impress the West, and especially the U.S., so the billions keep flowing, as Ukrainians get slaughtered. The nation is near defeat, and on all fronts.
Ukraine has dramatically intensified its assault on Russian forces, sinking a submarine and striking an airfield within the past 24 hours, as part of an escalating campaign targeting Russian positions. Officials report that Ukrainian drones also struck an apartment building, resulting in one fatality.
Since July, the frequency of Ukrainian attacks has surged, pressuring Western allies, especially the U.S., to approve the use of long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia. However, fears of provoking a severe response from Moscow have made allies hesitant.

Ukrainian forces announced a significant victory with a strike on a Russian Kilo-class submarine and an S-400 anti-aircraft missile system in Crimea, a region under Russian control. This air defense system was pivotal in protecting the strategic Kerch Strait Bridge, a key logistics hub for Russian troops.
Additionally, the Ukrainian military reported severe damage to four launchers of the Triumph air defense system and confirmed the sinking of the “Rostov-on-Don,” a submarine belonging to Russia’s Black Sea fleet, in the port of Sevastopol.

In another bold move, Ukrainian forces targeted the Morozovsk airfield in the Rostov region with a massive drone attack, reportedly hitting ammunition warehouses stocked with guided aerial bombs. This complex operation involved the Security Service of Ukraine, the Main Directorate of Intelligence, and the Defense Ministry.
In retaliation, Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov stated that a woman was killed in Shebekino by a Ukrainian drone strike on an apartment building. He also reported several other buildings were damaged and eight civilians injured due to continuous Ukrainian shelling and drone strikes in the region over the past day.
