More Russian stuff blowing up, plus Ukraine launches new attack across the Dnipro River [1]

Ukraine has launched a new attack on the east side of the Dnipro River near Kherson. As the map shows with arrows it is just upriver from Kherson in the village of Kozachi Laheri. It appears to be a small number of troops operating from speedboats.

Ukrainian forces have launched a surprise assault near Kozachi Laheri, south of the Dnipro River and east of Kherson city. The operation most likely started 2 days ago, but OPSEC prevented reporting of it for good reason. Multiple pro-Russian sources express their "concern" of the situation, since a bridgehead has been established. Some Russian sources even claim of a strike as deep as 800m and the first line of Russian defence broken. It will be interesting to see how this will play out, but even if it is only a small Ukrainian strike force then it will already be useful when it compels Russian troops to redeploy back to Kherson and away from the Zaporizhzhia frontlines.

x Surprise! Ukr special forces landed on the left bank of the Dnipro, W of Kozachi Lageri.
I was informed on the planned raid 2 days ago, but for obvious reasons couldn't talk. So far, it seems to be a probing attack, done w/speed boats. But Russians got a taste of what will come. pic.twitter.com/fRME1dn6Jn — Julian Röpcke🇺🇦 (@JulianRoepcke) August 8, 2023

Interesting video of a Ukrainian attack on the shore of the river near Kherson. I don’t know if this is related to the new Ukrainian attack across the river.

In addition to schools, hospitals and apartment buildings, Russia also targets libraries.

It’s clearly time to impose sanctions on Kyrgyzstan.
x ruzZia gives Kyrgyzstan a "shopping list" (& a generous comission) to buy German machinery & motor vehicles & parts (also from other EU countries), later Kyrgysztan export them to ruzZia. Kazakhstan does the same. That's how ruzZia evades sanctions. The EU does NOTHING.#lviv

This alleged spiritual leader says that God is punishing Ukraine and Russia is the instrument to achieve that, like a father who uses a belt on his children. Note the little missiles on the table next to him.

Speaking of the rot of Russian culture, propagandists had a discussion on Russian TV about how to pronounce the name of the West African country of Niger. As you can imagine, they were falling all over themselves to use the N word.
