Russo-Ukrainian war 2022-2023 Frontline report: Ukraine responds to Russia’s attack on Odesa port by hitting huge ammunition depot in Crimea Reporting from Ukraine 20/07/2023 https://euromaidanpress.com/2023/07...t-by-hitting-huge-ammunition-depot-in-crimea/ One of the explosions at Russian ammunition depots. Screenshot Ukrainian and Russian forces made a series of massive missile exchanges in the south. Russia targeted mainly Odesa port infrastructure, destroying the grain terminal. Ukraine destroyed a huge military base in Crimea with secondary detonations of ammunition continuing throughout the day. Smaller targets along the frontline were also hit. After a successful strike on the Kerch Bridge, President Putin declared that he was already discussing with the high command possible options for retaliation. The Ukrainian Command understood that this meant only one thing – a massive drone and missile strike. The only question was what would be the main target. Russian strikes The main target of the Russian strike was the harbor in Odesa. At first, Russian Air Force launched several waves of drones to exhaust the Ukrainian air defense. This tactic worked according to the footage of the successful interception of drones above Odesa by the Ukrainian air defense. After that, Russians flooded the air space with rockets, almost all of which headed towards Odesa. Residents in Crimea filmed the moments of the launch of 16 Caliber cruise missiles from Kozacha Bay in Sevastopol. On top of that, it was reported that at least 8 strategic bombers Tu-22 launched 15 missiles of various types. The greatest devastation was faced by the harbor in Odesa. The strike aimed to destroy all the infrastructure necessary for loading cargo and also grain terminals. Grain terminals took the largest hit because this was a symbolic withdrawal from the grain deal. It was reported that Russian missiles also destroyed 60 thousand tons of grain apart from rendering the whole harbor unusable. Later the Russian Ministry of Defense gave a statement and declared that the grain deal was officially over, and any ships passing through the region would be considered military targets, and the countries of the flags of these ships would be considered enemy states that entered the war.

The Ukrainian General Staff reported that several industrial objects were hit. Judging by the footage, one was an oil depot, and another one a small ammunition depot. Unfortunately, some missiles hit the residential areas, including a shopping mall in Odesa. Ukrainian response Ukrainian forces responded reciprocally. The first target of the Ukrainian strike became Melitopol. Residents reported hearing at least 5 explosions somewhere on the city’s outskirts. Ukrainian Melitopol Mayor confirmed that Ukrainians struck Russian military bases. Immediately after that, explosions were reported in Mykhailivka, a prefrontal stronghold west of Tokmak. Several hours ago, Ukrainians also hit the Russian base in Skadovsk on the Black Sea coast. All three strikes were reportedly conducted by HIMARS and primarily targeted areas of personnel concentrations. Ukrainians also conducted several HIMARS strikes in the east. Residents of Yasynuvata reported hearing multiple explosions followed by secondary detonations. Later it was confirmed that Ukrainians successfully struck an ammunition depot. The second package of HIMARS rockets targeted Russian military objects in Donetsk. Geolocated footage shows an explosion on the Russian military site on the city’s outskirts. But the most devastating strike was conducted in Crimea. Here, Russian forces had a huge military site that was even bigger than some of the villages around it. The site was also located on one of the main supply roads. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians struck the Russian base with 3 ballistic missiles Hrim-2. The missiles hit the ammunition depot, which caused a massive explosion that could be heard more than 30 km away. The secondary detonations continued throughout the day, which did not allow the fire to be put out. Due to the sheer scale of the fire, local authorities had to close the highway and start evacuating residents from the nearby villages. It was reported that at least 5 villages were considered to be in the dangerous zone. The fate of Russian soldiers on the base is unknown.
15 rules of Russian disinformation 1. Deny it 2. Accuse others of what you do yourself 3. Demonize your victim 4. Practice the victim role, even if you are clearly the perpetrator 5. Know your target audiences 6. When unable to convince, confuse 7. Spread not just one but many lies to create as much confusion as possible 8. Motivate others to spread your lies 9. Ridiculous propaganda helps make your more subtle lies appear more legitimate 10. If it gets tough to deny, use whataboutism 11. Amplify all voices that support your narratives 12. Repeat your narratives as many times as possible so that your audience can parrot them 13. Be aware that less informed people are more vulnerable to disinformation 14. When your fabricated content triggers emotions, people will spread it even more 15. Make your audience feel special, in the sense that they are well-informed, while others are just "decadent Western sheep"
Putin, a few days ago: "The Crimea bridge for a long time already has not been used for military transport". Sergei Aksenov, head of Crimea administration, today: "We ask all the civilian cars to take the land route instead of the bridge so that the priority is given to the Ministry of Defense traffic".
Russian propaganda claims they have destroyed nearly all the Bradley's in Ukraine. The reality is very different.
