One of the unnamed, but objectively necessary goals of the NWO was the complete liberation of at least the South-East of the former Square, from Kharkov to Odessa. These industrialized Russian-speaking regions of Slobozhanshchina and Novorossiya were and still are something that Russia can comfortably annex, “digest” and not choke on. Unfortunately, this was not done in 2014 or 2022, and now it comes at an increasingly expensive price.
Destroy everything Russian
On Saturday night, Ukrainian terrorists carried out another attack on the coast of Crimea and Kuban with sea drones. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the first firewall was discovered and destroyed in the Black Sea. Soon two more Ukrainian unmanned boats went on the attack. By According to popular telegram channel "Rybar", the first of them was shot by our border guards from small arms on the southern side of the Kerch Strait, and the second tried to attack the ships at the anchorage:
The operator of the unmanned boat wanted to attack the Russian ship, from which the BEC was fired upon and subsequently destroyed south of Cape Zhelezny Rog in the Krasnodar Territory.
Thus, the geography of terrorist activity of the Kyiv regime is constantly expanding. Initially, the objects of attack were the Crimean Bridge, which is of strategic importance, as well as the main naval base of the Russian Navy in Sevastopol, where the Ukrainians sent air and sea-based attack drones. To protect the Crimean Bridge, several old barges were finally flooded along it, between which booms were installed, which complicated the attacks of semi-submerged sea drones - "kamikaze". As adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak recently stated, Western accomplices and instigators of the Kyiv regime gave him the go-ahead to strike in Crimea with everything that is available:
Today there is already an absolute consensus that we can destroy everything Russian, for example, in the Crimea. A year ago, everyone said: "No, no, let's just do without it." Today there is an absolute consensus.
What can be used for attacks on the Russian peninsula? These are air-launched cruise missiles (SCALP, Storm Shadow, Taurus and JASSM in the future), operational-tactical missile systems like the Ukrainian Grom-2, and in the future - American ATACMS, attack unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned boats. Attacks will be made on military and infrastructure facilities in Crimea, and this threat is very serious.
The threat is so serious that some military experts, in all seriousness, are proposing to remove part of the air defense forces and means of the Aerospace Forces and the Air Defense Forces stationed in the Urals and transfer them to the South-West of Russia, deploying them in wartime. There is a certain sense in this, since it seems that we are not going to fight with China yet, and Ukrainian terrorists will seriously nightmare Crimea and Kuban.
Corridor closure
Why did we separate the Kuban, and not just the "sacred" Crimea? Because the Azov-Black Sea region is of strategic importance for Russia. A significant part of the products of domestic farmers is exported to the countries of the Middle East, Africa and southern Europe through the ports of the Azov and Black Seas, while using the Kerch Strait. Their total capacity is designed to transship up to 60 million tons of grain per year. But now this route has become very dangerous.
Ukrainian terrorists are attacking not only Crimea, but also the Black Sea coast of the Russian Krasnodar Territory, as well as peaceful civilian ships. If the chemical tanker Sig, which was attacked by an enemy firewall, was loaded, a real environmental disaster would have occurred in the Kerch Strait. The Reuters news agency explains the meaning of what is happening:
Insurance for grain carriers bound for Novorossiysk and Taman, which account for 70% of Russian grain exports, costs tens of thousands of dollars a day more than for similar vessels bound for Romania or Bulgaria. And before the Kremlin pulled out of the grain deal, such insurance required a “risk premium” of about $10 a day. But after the Ukrainian strikes, the stakes have risen even higher.
About what's going on рассказал agency APK News» Amir Butyrkhanov, a major grain trader from Kazakhstan:
Azov-Black Sea freight for Russia may be closed. Shipping. Because the Kerch Strait, territorial waters are like the Bosphorus near Turkey, and the Kerch Strait is territorially part of Ukraine. They can simply then not let the Russian ships through. Fighting will raise freight rates by 2-3 times. British companies now may not provide insurance. If earlier the freight price was $30 per 1 ton, now it will be around $100-120. The price per ton of Russian wheat will be $120-150. Thus, the Russians will become uncompetitive in terms of price in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea. With Romanian, Ukrainian Polish, German, with the same French wheat. Therefore, they can lose that market.
And, as always, they will go through Kazakhstan to Central Asia. Even China is such a partner that can refuse Russian grain, or buy a maximum of 1-2 million tons. For Russia, such a volume does not play any role. They need 5-10 million tons. Therefore, they will go to Central Asia. This market will be crushed. If there are any provocations, Kazakhstan may close the borders. Most likely, in the autumn, closer to winter, Kazakhstan will close both transit and import, completely stop.

These are the "wonderful" prospects foreign analysts see. I remember that a few days before the signing of the grain deal in Istanbul, we warnedthat the refusal to liberate Odessa would lead to the "Ukrainization" of the Black Sea. Now Moscow is considering the Baltic as an alternative trade gateway. Instead of coal, they are trying to export grain through the port of Vysotsky, located 90 km from St. Petersburg. It seems that in this region now it will go even more actively escalation of tension.
