Ukraine has attacked oil terminal and port infrastructure on both sides of the Kerch Strait – Russian losses

By /

During the night, Ukraine attacked both sides of the Kerch Strait, and both an oil terminal and port infrastructure were set on fire. Read more at Kyiv Independent. It is remarkable if they managed to reach both sides of the strait considering that the bridge is supposed to be well protected by air defenses. There is no information about that, but it is not impossible that Ukraine also tested approaching the bridge to see how well it was guarded.

Russia also attacked Ukraine during the night, and in Zaporizhzhia at least five were killed and twelve injured, and in Poltava eleven injured are reported, including five children. Read more here and here.

      ** 🔥 June 21, 2026, Kerch, Crimea, among the probable targets:

      Kerch Sea Port, industrial zone, TES-Terminal, specifically the railway terminal for the transshipment and storage of oil products and liquefied gas: 45°20’04.25″N 36°27’57.93″E

      Location of military unit 98546, this number belongs to the 630th Separate Railway Battalion, which is part of the 39th Separate Railway Brigade of the Russian Federation: 45°21’06.19″N 36°35’39.63″E

      Port “Caucasus, Oil Products Transshipment Complex”: 45°20’09.15″N 36°40’18.90″E

      Port “Caucasus”, Platform for storage and waiting before loading onto a ferry: 45°20’31.62″N 36°40’42.92″E

      Malcolm är inne på samma tanke som jag, om de kan slå på vardera sida om bron, hur väl är då bron egentligen skyddad?

      ** In occupied Crimea, Ukraine successfully attacked the ro-ro railroad ferry Terminal in Kerch and Port Kavkaz in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai. The ro-ro railroad ferries are the primary transportation route of petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel to occupied Crimea.

      Here’s the bigger takeaway. If Ukrainian drones/cruise missiles were able to hit both of these critical civil/military infrastructure sites in the same attack, Ukraine can attack the Crimean Bridge. They’ll do it when the time is right. The time isn’t right – yet.**

      Russian air defense seems to be having more and more problems. I guess it is a combination of persistent effort and possibly an emerging technological/tactical advantage for Ukraine. They simply know how to plan the attacks to best deceive the Russian air defense.

      One more guess: they are preparing to take down the bridge for good.

    Lyman continues to climb, at least the Russian pressure there. Otherwise, decreased Russian localized pressure, as well as Ukrainian unlocalized. Lower number of battles in total and decreased ratio.

    Z: “Our long-range sanctions have reached Russia’s Tyumen region – another oil-processing facility, over 2,000 kilometers from our state border. An effective strike.

    The job was carried out by the new, upgraded FP drones that can now reach targets at distances of 3,000 kilometers. I am grateful to the Fire Point engineers.

    Our mid-range strikes against military targets in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine are also ongoing and having a real impact on Russian military logistics.”

    Even the mainstream media report on last night’s attacks.
    Via Omni:
    Four people have been killed and 28 injured in Ukrainian drone attacks on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula over the weekend. This is reported by the Russian administration in Crimea according to Reuters.
    According to Kyiv Post, the attacks targeted fuel depots and military facilities on the peninsula.
    The leader of the Russian administration in Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, writes in a post on Telegram that the sale of fuel to private individuals and companies will be cut off from 9:00 AM local time on Sunday.

      Are you numb when you just shrug your shoulders and think that a few fewer orcs is always good? Hope it hurt!

      Well, then I guess I am!

    **❗️Commander of the 🇺🇦Unmanned Systems Forces Magyar: “Crimea is ‘burning’. On the night of June 21, the ‘Birds of the Unmanned Systems Forces’ struck an oil depot and terminal in Kerch, two radars (‘Kasta-2E2’ and ‘Nebo-U’), three gas compressor stations, a fuel tank (POL), and enemy logistics.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ **

    Now it seems Ukraine steadily has +400 vehicles & fuel tanks.
    When that number drops sharply downwards, Ukraine steps in and starts cleaning up in occupied areas.

    Also note Ukraine’s tougher tone towards Belarus.

    I also believe we will receive very positive signals from many NATO countries at the next Rammstein round.

    1. MXT

      Approximately since the turn of the year, the increase began and it still seems to be able to continue rising.

      We will see if it will continue upward for a while longer before it turns down, regardless it almost has to be unsustainable to lose between 300-500 soft vehicles every day.

      Surely some motorcycles and other small things are included in the reports but most of what you see in videos now are still tankers and trucks and other somewhat larger vehicles.

      1. ANDERS RYDEN

        When you see tankers and trucks.
        Then think that it is mainly “bullets, beans, and band-aids” that do not reach the fighters.
        Not to mention drinking water.
        Is it three days one can survive without water?

        1. MXT

          Almost makes you wish for a real damn heatwave in Crimea and southern Ukraine. The fighting spirit will probably drop quickly if there is a shortage of water and scorching heat.

    ** Russian-occupied Crimea completely suspends gas sales to civilians as Ukrainian drone strikes squeeze peninsula.
    “Fuel will only be dispensed to state services that ensure the vital activities and security of the Republic of Crimea,” Sergey Aksyonov, the Russian-appointed governor of occupied Crimea, said in a video address on the morning of June 21. **

      Given out to various dignitaries during the vital relocation from Crimea, they probably mean. Gotta make sure there’s enough, the day is approaching 😂.

    2. CB500four

      Now the Russians in Crimea have the choice to cross the bridge as long as it stands, or apply for Ukrainian citizenship. I imagine there are quite a few Ukrainians who would gladly want to return to their houses that have been occupied by Russians since 2014.

      “The diplomatic dispute between Italy and the USA is now entering its third day. President Donald Trump is once again out attacking Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.”After spending trillions of dollars on NATO, Italy’s prime minister did not even want to consider acting against Iran and the very serious nuclear threat the country poses”, writes Trump.”For decades we have defended them, but when put to the test they are not even there to defend us and the rest of the world. That is not good”, he continues.Over the past weekend, Trump has attacked Meloni on several occasions. The conflict escalated after Trump claimed that Meloni begged and pleaded to take a picture with him during the G7 meeting, a claim that the Italian prime minister dismissed in strong terms.As a result of the dispute, Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled a planned trip to the USA.”

    RU is trying to deploy countermeasures on the Taganrog-Crimea road.

    Mobile anti-drone patrols, own AI drones, and more.

    Everything has an expiration date, so this advantage must be capitalized on this year by UA.

    Long-range drones are operated by RU – UA only changes geographic area when LV starts to function.

    But RU can retaliate, which they will continue to do – UA is more resilient than RU though.

    RU has started to lie about their own successes at the fronts – a good sign.

    They are probably worried about Crimea now, have reinforced the entire coast 😀

    2. CB500four

      Hm, they are trying to play the USA/Trump against Israel/Netanyahu.

      You would think that the “draft” that Trump signed gave everything to Iran, but they also want Israel to capitulate and withdraw from Lebanon, so Hezbollah can continue launching rockets at Israel undisturbed.

      Let’s see if Israel withdraws from Lebanon, Iran will demand that they also leave Gaza.

      So now we will see how much Trump wants to move away from Iran and the Middle East, is it enough to leave Israel to the wolves, or will the conflict continue.

      Israel will hardly back down as long as they have the resources to continue. Iran is the biggest threat to their existence, so they cannot afford to back down too much.

        Israel cannot and will not meet the United States halfway.
        Krasnov has painted himself into a corner. I have no idea how this will end.

    Off-Topic, the midterm election

    When I read this, I thought that if Kennedy is their best hope, they are probably hopeless, then I realized that Americans are not like others, so he will probably be a success.. 😂

    “U.S. Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy has to a large extent become the Trump administration’s poster name ahead of the midterm election in November, reports The Hill.

    Kennedy has visited several key swing states in recent weeks to promote his ‘Make America Healthy Again’ agenda. According to The Hill, this is a sign that he is far from sidelined and is seen as an important asset in the Republicans’ attempt to retain control of Congress.

    – The White House is worried about the midterm election and when they look around at who they have on the team, Kennedy is still the most popular person, says Jeff Hutt, former national campaign manager for Kennedy’s presidential campaign, to The Hill.”

      At the same time, I doubt that the Democrats will manage to take both the House and the Senate, although it would be quite interesting if that happens.

      “If the Democrats win a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate in this fall’s midterm elections, Donald Trump will have to deal with a whole new Washington. That is what Senator Brian Schatz tells CNN.

      Schatz, who is seen by many as the Democrats’ next party whip if the party regains the majority, believes that the party would have the opportunity to put significantly greater pressure on the Trump administration.

      He also points to several issues where he believes the Democrats can win over Republican voters, including healthcare, tariffs, and foreign policy.

      – The reason the public does not support this war is that they never made any attempt to convince Americans why it was necessary, he says.”

        The intention is good. Stop eating ultra-processed food and stop with all the additives. That is absolutely right.

        Then he has completely gone off the rails with antivaxx and other crap.

        Then the fact that he sounds like he swallowed an entire sandpaper factory makes you wonder if he has smoked himself to pieces.

    2. N Eklund

      One thinks you hear a lot of sensible things from RFK Jr.’s mouth. But yes, he can go a bit too far sometimes. But here I will give an example of how reporting in Sweden can turn out

      This comment was given by Johan Westerholm to the picture on X:

      “This makes me terribly upset. How SVT News continues to portray the image that the USA is run by lunatics.

      The mercury compound thiomersal, or thimerosal, was previously found in vaccines but is not used as a preservative in any vaccine for humans today. The substance is banned in vaccines in Sweden.

      In Poland, it remains, as in a few EU countries, in some vaccines for children. The goal is to remove all mercury substances from vaccines.

      But SVT does not say that. Instead, the US administration is portrayed as the most clueless stronghold of the anti-vaccine movement. When all they are doing is following Sweden’s example.

      I believe SVT has now crossed the line. Their journalism is socially dangerous.

      And I happen to know a bit about this. I sat for five years on the EPN, the ethical review board at the Karolinska Institute, and happen to be the son of a professor in clinical pharmacology.

      During five years, we conducted a number of reviews of vaccine studies on humans……”

       

      I have heard him say several times that we need vaccines, but instead things like the example above are highlighted.

      Another example that JFK often brings up is that there is a factory in the USA that produces breakfast cereals. One type they color red. Those exported to Canada are colored red using beet juice, those for the American market are colored with a petroleum-based dye, which I _believe_ is banned in Europe.

      In Europe, 300-400 different additives are approved for use in food, in the USA it is talked about up to 10,000 additives.

      Good food does not help against everything, but epigenetic diseases can be helped a lot by a good diet. Examples are type 2 diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, certain depression, cardiovascular diseases. During Covid, we saw that e.g. elderly who ate poorly and people with overweight were those who had the hardest time with the disease.

      I once saw a list of how the nutritional values in fruits and vegetables have decreased since the 1950s, in some they had halved! At the same time, we know more than ever how to grow nutritious food.

       

      RFK’s voice is due to an illness that causes him to have spasms in the muscles that control the vocal cords.
