Good news for Ukraine - Ukrainian forces have made advances and captured territories in the south https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-military-reports-partial-success-robotyne-south-2023-08-12/ Ukraine military reports progress in south Reuters August 13, 20235:01 AM GMT+8Updated 3 hours ago Aug 12 (Reuters) - Ukrainian military officials said on Saturday that Kyiv's forces had made progress in the south, capturing unspecified territories and claiming partial success near the key village of Robotyne. "Tavria direction," General Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, commander of Ukrainian forces in the south, wrote on Telegram, referring to the southern front. "There are liberated territories. The defence forces are working." He did not specify where or when the advances were made. Separately, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said they had "partial success in the Robotyne area of the Zaporizhzhia region." Reuters could not immediately verify the battlefield report. The general staff said children were among dead or wounded civilians following a day in which Russians launched six rockets and 36 air strikes and fired 32 rocket salvo fire systems at populated areas and Ukrainian troop positions. It said 33 combat clashes had taken place and noted that Ukraine's defence forces continued an offensive operation in Melitopol and Berdyansk directions.

Bad news for Russia - Like the Romans who bought and sold land in the vicinity of Rome at regular market prices while Hannibal's army was camping outside Rome, Odessa has reopened its beaches for swimming, testimony to the crushing ineptitude of the Russian military No bathing during air raids - but beaches in southern Ukraine port reopen By Maria Kostenko and Allegra Goodwin, CNN Published 12:56 PM EDT, Sat August 12, 2023 Beaches officially opened for swimming in Ukraine’s largest port city of Odesa for the first time since the Russian invasion began in February 2022, local officials announced Saturday. Bathing during air raid alerts, however, remains banned in the Black Sea city. Odesa has seen relentless waves of Russian attacks over the last 17 months, filling the waters with sea mines and leading officials to close the stretch of sandy beaches and holiday resorts once popular with Ukrainian and foreign holidaymakers. However, despite officially banning swimming since the start of the war, some people have continued to do so. The city’s beaches were further tarnished in June when filthy waters from the collapse of the Russia-controlled Nova Kakhovka dam washed downstream, posing what the Odesa municipality described as a “genuine threat” to the health of residents. Head of the Odesa region military administration, Oleh Kiper, said several “swimming and recreation areas” would open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in a post on the Telegram messaging app on Saturday, adding more beaches would open up as inspections were completed. Kiper said lifeboats and mesh fences to protect against explosive ordnance would be required in open swimming areas, adding divers would be sent to inspect the Black Sea waters if necessary. Daily coastal cleaning would also take place, he said. Oleksandr, a lifeguard and a former diver who gave only his first name, told Reuters that an anti-mine net was placed in between two piers to prevent swimmers encountering shallow-water mines. “The net will stop them. And they (mines) will also be visible from the shore under such weather conditions. Emergency workers will be notified, they will come to handle it,” he said. In a Telegram post, Odesa’s municipality said air raid shelters were available nearby the reopened swimming spots, with shelter locations indicated on information boards at the beaches. But while Odesa Mayor Hennadii Trukhanov said it was the administration’s responsibility “to prepare all the necessary infrastructure,” he added, “In my personal opinion, beach vacations - as recreation - are a bit out of time while our defenders are fighting for every meter of Ukrainian land.” Despite being cautious, residents have welcomed the move as a distraction from the war. “I want to swim at last and distract myself,” Yevhen, a student from Mykolaiv whose school was shelled and who went to Odesa for a short vacation, told Reuters. “I don’t want to think about the war and bad things. I dont want to think about it.” “I have been dreaming of going to the beach and inhaling salty air. We have been missing it a lot. But safety is a top priority,” Svitlana, a resident of the Odesa region, told Reuters. Odesa still remains a Russian target. At least 25 architectural monuments, including a historic Orthodox cathedral, were destroyed in the region in an intense wave of attacks by Russia near the end of July. Russian strikes last week damaged a critical port facility and key industrial infrastructure in the city.

Is Zaluzhny taking over the appointment of all new enlistment head positions? At least I found an artist saying the Odessa new enlistment head is appointed by Zaluzhny. If Zaluzhny is taking over all other appointments, this is big news. IMO this news is the fallout of the power struggle between different factions jockeying for the post-Zelensky landscape. A lot of Zaluzhny troopers will become very rich soon.

Good news for those going on and on about drones and anti-tank systems and smoky bridges - Why post about those when there's so much good news for Ukraine to post? https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-border-guards-remind-russia-snake-island-is-again-theirs-2023-08-12/ Ukraine border guards remind Russia Snake Island is again theirs Reuters August 13, 20237:06 AM GMT+8Updated 4 hours ago Ukrainian border guards placed a new sign on Snake Island this weekend, recalling the early hours of Russia's invasion when a comrade on the strategic Black Sea outcrop used a choice phrase to refuse to surrender to a warship. "The next border sign will be installed in our Ukrainian Crimea after its liberation by the defence forces of Ukraine," a uniformed man said, standing before a post painted blue and yellow like the country's flag, in a video shared on Facebook late on Saturday by the head of the border service, Serhiy Deineko. Tiny Snake Island became synonymous with Ukrainian resistance in the first hours of the Feb. 24, 2022 invasion, when Russian officers on the Black Sea Fleet flagship Moskva radioed Ukrainian guards stationed there and ordered them to surrender or die. One of them radioed back "Russian warship, go gently caress yourself." The phrase became a national slogan, depicted on Ukrainian billboards, T-shirts, and eventually a postage stamp. The strategic island overlooks sea lanes to Odesa, Ukraine's main Black Sea port. On April 14, 2022, two Ukrainian missiles struck the Moskva, the biggest warship sunk in combat for 40 years. Russia says one sailor was killed in an accident. Western experts say they believe around half of the crew of about 450 perished at sea. On June 30, Russia abandoned Snake Island after taking heavy losses trying to defend it. It called its withdrawal another "goodwill gesture." Russia still holds swathes of territory in eastern and southern Ukraine. However, Ukraine is pressing ahead with a counteroffensive in which it claimed further progress on Saturday. "Historical justice has been restored," Deineko said in his Facebook post. "Ukraine will definitely win!!!"

It's a trap so they can say tankies are fatphobic trolls. She's gonna have a Hell of a time trying to sue Russian Z-heads. I guess that's one more victory condition for Ukraine: Russian trolls will finally be subjected to EU civil courts.
