Summary

For the first time, Ukraine launched a drone attack on Russian navy vessels in the Caspian Sea, striking the port city of Kaspiysk, far from the front lines.

Footage shared by Ukrainian authorities shows drones targeting Russian ships, with antiaircraft fire in the background. Russia’s Dagestan governor confirmed one drone was intercepted.

This attack marks another setback for the Russian navy, which has suffered heavy losses in the Black Sea due to Ukraine’s asymmetrical tactics.

Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike capability has enabled recent attacks on key Russian military sites.

    Ukraine had better get its hits in before January unless Europe really ups its game between now and then. I’m sure they will fill the American vacuum quickly, but it’s a question of how quickly they can do it.

    This will be the Trump response to Ukraine.

    If you don’t concede to Russia’s peace demands we will pull out of NATO.

    Europe will dry up like grandma’s sense of humor.
