In the past day, Russian occupying forces have suffered significant losses in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate reported hits on a Mi-8 helicopter and, for the first time, on two Be-12 'Chaika' amphibious planes, which Russia used for reconnaissance and anti-submarine tasks in the Black and Azov Seas.
Last night, unidentified drones attacked the southern coast of Crimea. A powerful strike reportedly hit the Foros restaurant complex, which Russian sources alternately call a sanatorium or a school. The attack resulted in three killed and sixteen wounded. The building sustained substantial damage, with debris scattered around — indicating a forceful impact. Reliable information on casualties is not fully available as Russian authorities conceal the details.
Another notable event was the scandal surrounding the Russian song contest 'Intervidenie', dedicated to so-called traditional values. The contest was mired in controversy: there was a shortage of real foreign participants, and the winner was a Vietnamese singer who openly supports the LGBT community, causing a stir against the proclaimed 'traditional values' in Russia.
The author calls on readers to support the Ukrainian military with financial contributions, noting that collective assistance enables defenders to acquire vital resources, particularly FPV drones. Ukrainian units offered thanks to the community for the provision of these drones to bolster their frontline efforts.
These developments highlight the complex situation in Crimea, issues with Russian propaganda, and the importance of supporting Ukraine's defenders.
