No wonder the moral is so high among the Russian troops, worst case scenario dad gets a brand new Lada.
Igor Girkin posts on Telegram in the manner you say. Does a lot of long ramblings on Russia's military strategy.For real? I've seen it reported as being him but he's just pointing out Russia's failings to give them a kick up the arse or something. Or am I thinking of a different account?
Or people are not aware who the guy is in general.Can't be too enjoyable, Russians are seriously hated in Italy right now. I can't imagine the reception is too welcoming though I suppose there aren't actually many Italians in Venice.

Judging by the damages in the video, the bridge has been hit by artillery rounds, that suggest that the Ukrainians are now able to set up artillery positions within 40km of the Dnepr. If that is the case they can also cover the highway towards Nova Kakhovka with artillery fire. The Russians will struggle massivly to resupply their troops in Kherson city if these two roads have been cut off.
It's the first and yes it would make it harder for the Ukrainians to cross the Dnepr but there are other bridges further to the east. The thing is the Russians would almost certainly blow up the bridge anyway if they retreated from Kherson, so it's possible the Ukrainians see it as already lost. The fact that they only hit it 2 or 3 times, inflicting what looked like just non critical damage could mean that they were just sending a warning to the Russians in Kherson, "get out now or risk encirclement".Forgive my ignorance of geography. Is this a bridge connecting 2 parts of the Ukraine or a bridge connecting Kherson to Russia? If it's within Ukraine isn't that going to make it very difficult for Ukraine to form any counter offensive in the future

Here is a map with markers of the two bridges near Kherson and the next closest bridge/dam, which is about 60 km upriver. As others have pointed out, the bridge allows for the Russians to resupply Kherson and maintain control on the East side of the river. If they are cut off, it would doom the occupation of Kherson and effectively preclude any future Russian offensive towards Odesa, which may allow the Ukrainians to reopen Odesa for shipping grain, etc.
Probably just postering rhetoric but worth noting.
There have been reports in the last couple of days about Russia moving most of their ships away from occupied Sevastopol to Novorossijsk in mainland Russia. Maybe the Russians are expecting something in Crimea to?
It's impossible to know exactly what is the weak point in the Russian air defense, but Ukraine are definitely able to get their missiles through.I know there's a lot of hyperbole but if HIMARS have made this much difference, are Russia's S300's just outdated/not fit for their task? It's not like HIMARS are a big secret that have been revealed and taken the world by storm.
I left out that news on the purpose but as you say anyone can connect the dots here.Russia are gearing up to resupply gas. It’s not a coincidence

One more crazy quote by Lavrov. Apparently the West is trying to aggravate situation by sending weapons. Imagine that, there's an attack going on an independent country and someone is aggravating that situation. Also speaking about other territories all the while still not succeeding in the whole Donbas region.
Quote about Zelensky is a little bit frightening too.
