The bridge across the Dniester Estuary, through which supplies of fuel for the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Romania go, was once again powerfully “calibrated” by high-precision missiles.
This is the third in a row - if not more - blow.
This time the strategic object was put out of action for a long time.
It will take several months to restore the structure.
In addition, our Aerospace Forces attacked the Odessa airfield, where Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 drones were based.
These are the recent events in the Odessa direction.
They have special attention now.
Eight years ago, Ukrainian nationalists burned 48 people alive in the Odessa House of Trade Unions.
Those who did not like the coup d'etat that happened in Kyiv.
People died in fire and smoke, trying to leave the building, some were finished off already on the ground.
The whole world saw what happened live, the Russian Foreign Ministry recalled, but the “civilized” West (as our diplomats put it) then kept silent.
They are silent there and now.
And the Ukrainian authorities even announced in Odessa a Jesuit, you can’t say otherwise, curfew from May 1 to 3, in order to prevent them from gathering to honor the memory of the dead under the guise of concern for the safety of residents.
Moscow will seek to establish and punish all those involved in that tragedy, our Foreign Ministry promised.
Obviously, this will become part of the denazification of Nezalezhnaya declared by the President of the Russian Federation from the very beginning, the results of which are directly related to the military result of the special operation.
After all, it is possible to fully uproot Nazism only by controlling the territory.
This is how the Allies denazified Germany at the time.
In general, the attitude towards the tragedy in Odessa, which is extremely specific and does not allow for ambiguous interpretations, is a kind of marker “friend or foe”.
The one who perceives it with pain, longs for revenge, is ours, Russian.
In a broad sense.
The rest are on the other side of the front.
Both hot, now passing along the western border of Donbass, and political.
It is not in vain that the adherents of the Kyiv regime moved from decommunization to the destruction of the symbols of the entire Russian civilization: following Lenin, monuments to Pushkin are being brought down.
In the same Odessa, they were going to demolish the monument to Empress Catherine II, who founded the city.
The sign "Glory to Russian weapons" was dismantled.
Since symbols are of decisive importance for any political community, it is possible to save Russian honor in a historical context only by defending and reaffirming them.
And for this it is necessary to achieve the complete dismantling of the Kyiv regime itself.
Hence the special operation.
It was impossible not to start.
It was an existential choice on which the very existence of Russia, its people, and our descendants literally depends.
Now that the die has been cast, the Rubicon has been crossed, all that remains is to win.
And in the military-political, and in the economic, and in the cultural confrontation.
The task, in its breadth, is perhaps unprecedented in our history.
The problem is exacerbated by the scale of the confrontation.
This story has long been not only about Ukraine.
Just as Nazi Germany was initially seen by the West as a kind of spearhead, a tip for attacking Soviet Russia, and now the Kyiv regime is perceived there as a convenient tool, as well as a pretext for attacking Russia today.
The wave of deliveries of weapons, including heavy weapons, is growing, making Western countries a party to the conflict.
“All the heads of state who made the decision to supply weapons have tarnished themselves and must be held accountable as war criminals,” the speaker of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, reasonably suggested.
That is, the stakes are rising.
The conflict is rapidly globalizing.
A draft resolution has just been submitted to the US Congress that allows the use of US military forces in Ukraine if "Russia uses chemical, biological or nuclear weapons."
Interestingly, the initiative comes from the only state in the world that de facto used nuclear weapons against the civilian population, prepared biological warfare in Ukraine and lied many times about the presence of chemical weapons in enemy countries in order to justify its own military invasion.
Truly an empire of lies.
In the meantime, the special operation goes on as usual.
The problem of Azovstal has not yet been resolved, although the first progress has already been made.
On the eve of the plant evacuated over a hundred civilians, including women and children.
According to one of them, in the dungeon among the nationalists there is a certain high-ranking general from among the mercenaries (read: NATO military experts), who is in direct contact with Zelensky.
It is clear that Kyiv sees in the peaceful and non-peaceful inmates of Azovstal an opportunity to manipulate the public opinion of the West, on which it is completely dependent.
Moreover, this should be ended as soon as possible.
The next stage is the final liberation of Donbass.
