Seems like Ukraine has always assumed that this is the case too - based on the massive resources they’ve put into keeping the Donbas line from moving throughout the war, and the risks they’re taking now of being encircled.

Russian chubby pilot stereotype still undefeated. I’m convinced that McDonalds every day is a perk of being a pilot in Russia.

And sometimes Russian troops kill their commanders for you. What a country!

Whoever ask why bomb this ship? Well it seems to have stopped any unloading at the dock for now, not to mention the fuel and supplies destroyed. This dock has been resupplying the forces sieging Mariupol.

Also there was a video on Russian TV of this exact dock circulating for a day before the attack.

Heartbreaking. Hopefully when the war is over she can get her parents to visit Ukraine and see all the damage the Ukrainians supposedly inflicted on themselves.

Pshhh - you call that a yacht? All these years of fealty and instrumental role in Putin’s dictatorship, and all Medvedev gets is that? That’s like the boat that fits inside the oligarchs’ yachts. Weak.

Prior to recent events, I had no idea that the term for seizing property in Russian is “to arrest”, same as for a person. I’ll let others decide if there is any deeper psychological aspect to that.

“Arresting” ships is a thing in English as well.

The reason the Russian lieutenants weren’t preparing for war is the Kremlin wanted to maintain the element of surprise. Didn’t do them much good.

Didn’t know that. The commentators I’ve been watching on youtube have been using that term for all types of property, not just vessels, though.

Yeah I don’t think this positive propaganda effect in Russia is going to outweigh the negative one in Ukraine from this.

The think I don’t get with these crazy billionaire yachts is why they all still look like boring boats. Sharks, imagine a shipbuilder who made made mega-yachts in the shape of Georgian revival mcmansions?

Fucking Ghina

I think we should be willing to supply Ukraine if it will enable them to take control of Donbas.

Three supply ships out of service for now.
