More statements by Nikolai Patrushev, an assistant to Russia's president overseeing maritime policy:

🌏 NATO at the Washington summit demonstrated plans to increase its military presence and escalate confrontation in the Black Sea.

🌏 NATO countries, by aggressively expanding the number of naval bases beyond their borders, aim to turn the world's oceans into their sphere of influence.

🌏 Zelensky, by signing the Maritime Security Strategy of Ukraine, which defines NATO's role in the Black Sea, is trying to assert his legitimacy.

🌏 The uncontrolled drift of naval mines, haphazardly laid by the Ukrainian Navy, increasingly threatens civilian ships in the Black Sea.

🌏 Ukrainian unmanned boats, losing course due to GPS navigation failures, pose an unpredictable threat to shipping in the Black Sea.

🇺🇦🇹🇷🚤😐 EXPLOSIVES-LADEN UKRAINIAN JET SKI WASHES UP ON ISTANBUL BEACH: Locals crowd around jet ski that’s been given complete overhaul to serve as kamikaze boat drone, with cameras, wires and enough explosives to make going anywhere near it a terrible idea.

Though Turkish officials yet to confirm it belonged to #Kiev army, employing terror drones like one in vid above a common tactic in Zelensky’s criminal forces when they attempt to target ships and ports.

🤡🫡 Kiev Navy currently mourning loss of its greatest warship and pride of the fleet, while Vlad gets on line with his #NATO overlords to try and source more jet skis to bolster his Black Sea forces.

Pokrovsk sector: Ivanovka.

The situation for the Ukrainian army is rapidly deteriorating as its defenses collapse near Ivanovka.

The Russian Army's night attacks ended with a significant advance from the recently taken Lozovatskoe. In addition, there are attacks on Ivanovka from Progres to its south-east, which has also been taken by the Russians.

Ukrainian sources claim that a large Ukrainian stronghold north of Progres has not yet come under Russian control, but it is completely surrounded. The remnants of two companies of Ukraine's 31st mechanized brigade are holding positions without officers and communication with the "mainland." By the way, this brigade is one of those that NATO instructors created for last year's "counter-offensive," where it actually had some limited success, but now it's falling apart.

The Russians are thus securing the flanks to consolidate their successes along the railroad track, to continue driving a wedge into the enemy's defense towards the railway station Zhelannoe.
