Did you know that the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was destroyed by two subsonic, that are very slow, "Neptune" anti-ship missiles on liquid fuel, which are not even designed to attack ships of such a large tonnage. This is the same as shooting down the latest jet fighter with a slingshot.

Russian Telegram accounts with links to the Wagner Group claim Bayraktar drones were used to distract the Moskva's radar systems before a coastal battery opened fire somewhere near Odesa, hitting the ship with two Neptune missiles (source: Dailymail) |
The main loophole in the rocket cruiser "Moskva" was a single radar system, where according to some sources, its attention and the only radar was focused at the Ukrainian drone, most likely Bayraktar, and in this way the rocket attack remained undetected by the cruiser, what happened at night.
Russia has modernized other ships, but not this one, perhaps due to a lack of funds.

Memes on the internet about this. (source: Twitter) |
As a result, the Russian Black Sea Fleet has lost part of its air defense shield or this cruiser, which means that further deployment operations by Russian forces from the sea could be much riskier, where aggressor may continue to lose its ships.
Ukraine urges for more help
So far Ukraine got a lot of help, but mostly not of that kind, what they asked for, after what Zelensky is under alert.

Ukrainian former President Poroshenko calls on US to increase military aid to Ukraine
"To change the course of the war, we need only 100 fighter jets, 200 helicopters, 300 tanks, & about 1,000 armored vehicles. Then the Ukrainian soldiers will do their job," he told MSNBC

Mariupol defenders, civilians need urgent help. A military doctor who made an emotional appeal from Mariupol, saying “we don’t want to be heroes and martyrs posthumously,” was killed.
I loved her spirit...

Reports of shootings between Russian mixed forces.
Today, I noticed some very strange reports, as if there were some kind of shootout on Putin's side. Maybe this is something like the split of the Russian army into two camps, like in the early 1990s when Yeltsin replaced Gorbachev.
However, the scale of this turmoil is unclear.

According to Vitaliy Kim, shooting between the Russian military and forces of the Russian-occupied areas in Donbas took place in occupied Nova Kakhovka, Kherson Oblast.
Is Russian propaganda paving the way for military withdrawal?
Also, another interesting report where it is alleged that on Russian TV, Kremlin propagandists began talking about the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, as if preparing the people for the act psychologically.
Russia changing the objectives of their so called 'military operation' around after every 10 days, which today sounds like just elimination of nationalists groups, and this is sort of all, what they want today...
On Russian state TV, top Kremlin propagandist Solovyov started talking about the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine:

Can't tell how much reliable this message is. What we know so far is that Russia is forcing Ukrainians to fight against the defenders of Mariupol.

Very interesting message
The message left by the Russian troops is very interesting - "Sorry, that was order" (sort of we just followed orders, sorry).
This might mean that one of the Russian soldiers had a conscience and thus apologized of the Ukrainian people for their atrocities, saying that they had been ordered to do so from above, which maybe could serve as proof that such was Putin's regime plan, order of their leadership to act like this, rather than regular soldiers self indented behavior, what in my opinion is important.
"That was the orders… Sorry." An inscription in red paint, the last message from the Russian soldiers left on the wall of Natalya's son's bedroom, before Russian left the town. Bucha

Ukrainian jet pilots beg for fighter jets
So far, Ukraine has started to receive around 15-17 howitzers and a similar amount of Russian helicopters, but things are very poor with Ukrainian jet fighters, which condition we can see for ourselves.
The governments of many countries are afraid to give them jet fighters, but without them the fight can be very difficult. After all, who controls the air dominates during the war.
For this cause, pilots from Ukraine have launched #BUYMEAFIGHTERJET initiative, asking wealthy people, businessmen of the planet to purchase combat aircrafts for their army.
