Noooooo it cannot be correct. It wouldn’t be RT porkies to deflect from their failings in Crimea and the ship and jet losses?

So much for evacuating your troops. I almost felt sorry for them.

And another view, I just can’t get enough of Russian Christmas light displays. He had the sense to open then close the window so preserving the glass.

Ukraine’s view of the nights work.
And now for Russia’s take on things.. Why do they stick down unbelievable numbers like 1 killed, 2 injured? I bet it’s a whole lot worse then that.
The explosion was really powerful. Detonation lasted a long time. The fire was large-scale. So, we will still wait for more detailed data, because the combat work carried out is half the battle. Further, it will be necessary to collect comprehensive information about its results" - Nataliia Humeniuk, head of United Coordination press center of South Defense Forces, about the Ukrainian strike on Russian Novocherkask landing ship in Feodosia, Crimea. She also noted that "such a large detonation was caused not just by the fuel or ammunition of the ship itself." "The specifucs of large landing ships is that they are now used by the enemy practically constantly as logistical objects, as transportation of important cargoes, which they cannot afford in any other way. We remember that they have difficulties using the famous Kerch bridge and other transport and logistics routes. So, it's quite likely that it was a kind of "Christmas present", fully wrapped," Ms Humeniuk said. She added that currently Russians have dispersed their ships in different ports and bays. "The majority of them are concentrated in Novorossiysk. And this is the recklessness with Feodosia, assuming that it is far enough. They now know that "far" for us is not far enough."

F-16 can arrive in Ukraine within a week, - ISW. "While Dutch Prime Minister Rutte did not confirm the timing of the F-16 delivery, a recent strategy document from the Ministry of Defense of Estonia stated that the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Belgium have already committed to donating F-16s to Ukraine "by the end of the year (2023)" , - is indicated in the report.

The port was also covered by an S400 battery a couple of K away.
