On the night of December 13-14, Russian and Ukrainian forces conducted mutual strikes. The Russian attack, which included a ballistic missile and over 130 strike drones, was primarily aimed at Ukraine’s Odesa region. In turn, Ukrainian forces launched over 235 drones at targets in several Russian regions, including power stations, oil depots, and oil refineries.

Affected Objects in Ukraine

The strike affected five regions, with the most intense attacks in Odesa Region.

Odesa Region: Russian forces carried out a second consecutive massive strike on the region’s energy sector. Facilities of energy, transport and industrial infrastructure were damaged. Numerous hits were reported in the village of Sarata, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district.



The Ukrainian Navy accused the Russian Armed Forces of attacking the Turkish-flagged vessel ‘VIVA,’ which was reportedly carrying sunflower oil from Ukraine to Egypt. Russian and Turkish authorities have not yet confirmed the incident.



Sumy Region: In the city of Shostka, a strike hit the “Svema” sports complex. According to available data, the facility was used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a barracks and ammunition depot. It is reported that over 80 servicemen could have been present there at the time of the attack.

Zaporizhzhia Region: In the city of Zaporizhzhia, a supermarket of the ATB chain was damaged.



Affected Objects in Russia

The Ukrainian attack affected several regions, with main targets being energy and oil refining facilities.

Volgograd Region: A strike on an oil depot in Uryupinsk has been confirmed. Governor Andrey Bocharov reported explosions and a fire at the facility.



Smolensk Region: An attempt was made to attack the Smolensk Thermal Power Plant. Officials report no casualties or destruction, while stating the interception of 8 unmanned aerial vehicles.



Yaroslavl Region: According to local sources, the target of the attack was again the Slavneft-YANOS PJSC oil refinery in Yaroslavl.

Krasnodar Krai: Residents reported explosions in the area of the Afipsky Oil Refinery, as well as damage to residential buildings. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the interception of 22 drones over the region.



Tula Region: Explosions were heard in the area of the Shchyokinoazot chemical plant in the city of Shchyokino. The consequences of the strike are unknown.



Republic of Crimea: Over the peninsula, according to the Russian defense ministry, 73 unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted. A 330 kV substation in Dzhankoi and an oil depot in Feodosia came under attack. Explosions were also reported in the areas of the Kirovske airfield, Sevastopol, Hvardiiske, Saky, Simferopol, and Krasnohvardiiske.

Other regions: Air defense system operations were also recorded over Leningrad and Novgorod Regions, where, according to reports, the target was a chemical plant.

Thus, the Russian strikes, concentrated on southern Ukraine, demonstrate an attempt to put pressure on the region’s vital facilities, such as ports and the energy grid. Ukraine, in turn, concentrated its strikes on disabling Russia’s fuel and energy infrastructure, attempting to demonstrate a retaliatory force following yesterday’s massive Russian strikes, when over 400 drones were launched over Ukrainian territory.

the eugenicists of nato will continue this until a price is paid that is enough to make them stop. they fully intend to destroy russia completely and a decision will have to be made by russia to put a permanent end to this or it will continue.

still blathering about nato when this is entirely a manifestation of us imperialist policy. nato is owned by the us. europe is to be marginalized and it’s socio-economic structures dismantled. if this does not occur, europe will move out of the us orbit and would logically be integrated into some form of transcontinental eurasian structure that would include russia and china.

Bob

your usual perverse reverse attempts at disngenuity so transparent.

Bob

grow up derpster you re too lazy to even follow the events trumps already making a c 5 membership of the usa china russia japan and india. uniting the 5 superpowers against despotism.

the narrative

i am with clyde on this statement. keeping russia and china apart is the primay goal. europe has no real energy resources, so they will sacrifice it to control the worlds energy by currency controls. the policy remains

Bob

they aren’t going to kill the golden goose at all. they will gmo the world though and already have made every person into in effect gmo. and that’s not going to be reversed. there will be no natural humans born soon as the modified and un modified internarry. allegedly

the narrative

any attack on russian oil and gas infrastructure is us policy to keep china from russian energy. the pirate cartel will attack destroy any transport or refining ability to set up the monopolies plan for primacy. they even wrote the plan out to read. that is what this war all about.
