"Two strikes — and there will be no maritime logistics": on a Russian broadcast they threaten the ports of Mykolaiv and Odesa

In the Russian propaganda space, calls have again been openly voiced for massive strikes on the port infrastructure of Mykolaiv and Odesa. In the circulated clip of the broadcast, the speaker proposed not to distribute missiles and drones among targets across Ukraine, but to concentrate them on 2 cities.

The Russian propagandist explained that the aim of such attacks should be the complete destruction of Ukraine’s maritime logistics and a result that Ukrainians allegedly should “feel on their own skin”.

“Let’s concentrate these strikes so that after each strike there is a visible, truly tangible result that the enemy would see and feel on their own skin. All those missiles and drones that we send and that destroy targets and objects across the entire territory of Ukraine — let’s concentrate one strike entirely on the seaport “Mykolaiv”. And the next strike — on the seaport “Odesa”. Thus, only 2 strikes — and there is a tangible result. Ukraine no longer has maritime logistics”, – said the Russian propagandist.

In effect, the Russian broadcast proposed directing at the port of Mykolaiv the entire volume of weapons the occupiers typically use in a single combined strike. The speaker named the port of Odesa as the next target.
