Ukraine’s most important successes currently are the result of drone and missile attacks, the most significant of these being three strikes in seven days on Russian arms depots in Crimea. The latest, the result of a Storm Shadow, has caused local evacuation and a shut down of train service between Crimea and Kherson region. These attacks negatively impact supplies of weapons to Russian positions further north which are defending against Ukrainian offensives. There have also been strikes on Moscow which have caused damage to uninhabited buildings, including one that belonged to or was close to a building owned by the MOD. The Kremlin says that this will not have an impact its currenct actions in the SMO. There have been Ukrainian drone attacks on settlements in the otherwise Russian controlled area of the Donbass behind front lines. Russia has attempted an intercept of a ship headed for Rostov on Don from Odessa that is stuffed with explosive. One should expect that this will be targeted by Russian missiles (I have no up to date news on this, mentioned on the Military Summary channel earlier today but not revisited in a later broadcast).
I was citing an argument that Mercouris was making yesterday on The Duran. I took it to mean that this was in the context of French-Algerian relations and that it was not a pro-immigration point of view.
Oliver, you wrote: "Russia has hit grain stores at the far west Ukrainian river port, Reni, on the NATO bank of the Danube, next to Poland (and Romania), ..." It looks to me like Reni is not in far western Ukraine, but far south Ukraine. And, Reni is not on the NATO bank of the Danube. It is, as you said in the first place, in Ukraine. It is not "next to Poland," not even near. All else very good! Best regards.
Charles de Gaulle wrote about the emergence of 'no go areas' in cities? Where and from which scenario did he predict this?

Thanks, David, I will look again at this and make changes.
