Big Ukraine Terrain Gains, Novorossiysk Smacked Hard, NATO Ups the Appeasement
Ukraine formally confirmed a three-month southern offensive that has retaken over 350 square kilometers near Hulyaipole. The war's biggest naval strike hit Novorossiysk, damaging four warships and shutting down all three grain terminals, prompting Ukraine to offer Russia a Black Sea maritime ceasefire.
Why it matters
The confirmed territorial gains and the major naval strike on Novorossiysk represent significant developments in the conflict, potentially altering the strategic balance and impacting grain exports.
What's unclear
- The extent of damage to the warships and the timeline for restoring grain terminal operations.
- Whether Russia will accept Ukraine's proposed maritime ceasefire.
- The specific details of the AFU command shakeups and their impact on military operations.
