I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred sixty seventh day of the war.

Day 567: Sep 13

Today, the biggest news comes from Crimea.

Here, Ukrainians conducted the biggest and most successful strike on the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Local residents filmed multiple subsequent explosions in Sevastopol Bay and huge plumes of smoke rising towards the sky in the aftermath. The analysts quickly identified the location based on the footage and concluded that the fire actually seemed to be coming out of the area west of the bay with the Russian Fleet.

Soon, local officials reported that most rockets were shot down and that the fires were quickly localized and put out. However, the situation was much worse. Based on the NASA Firms data, the targets of the strike were located in the eastern part of the bay. Later released footage allowed to make a definitive conclusion – Ukrainians targeted the maintenance and repair facilities of the Russian fleet. At the moment of the strike, there were 2 intact ships that were undergoing maintenance work: the assault landing ship “Minsk”, and the submarine “Rostov na Donu”. Due to the abundance of confirmations online, the Russian Ministry of Defense had to admit that both vessels were damaged.

The Spokesman for Ukrainian Intelligence reported that Ukrainians likely inflicted irreparable damage not only to both vessels but also to the repair facilities. Recently released satellite footage gave more insight into the extent of the damage.

When it comes to the assault landing ship “Minsk”, we can see that the aluminum top part of the ship completely collapsed to the bottom, and the explosion likely caused a fire in the engine room as the whole ship was clearly burning. Given the extent of the damage, the ship can be considered destroyed. And this is already the third assault landing ship that Russians lost over the last year – the first one being hit in Berdyansk and the second one in the sea by a drone.

When it comes to the 300 million-dollar submarine “Rostov na Donu”, the vessel also received critical damage and was clearly burning. Russian analysts concluded that it would likely be easier to build a new submarine than repair this one, which is why the Russian carrier of Caliber missiles can be considered destroyed as well.

On top of that, it was reported that up to 40 Russian marines were killed and wounded. At first, it was reported that the casualties were among the factory workers, but since the attack was conducted at night and there were no workers on the site, the losses were only among the marines that were on the watch.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that Ukrainians conducted a strike using 3 marine kamikaze drones and 10 cruise missiles, interestingly, without specifying the type. The most prominent Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used modified S-200 ballistic missiles and that 7 of them were shot down, however, the Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk made a comment and jokingly said that the Russian fleet “was caught in a storm” today, hinting that Ukrainians used Strom Shadow missiles.

When it comes to today’s Ukrainian strike, Ukrainians developed a very complex strategy. At first, Ukrainians launched at least 3 marine kamikaze drones. The goal of this attack was to divert Russian attention toward the sea. Russian sources reported that all 3 drones were destroyed by the patrol ships, although later it was confirmed that Russians lost a boat in the western part of the sea, so it is possible that at least one drone hit the target.

Simultaneously, Ukrainians launched several S-200 missiles toward the Black Sea Fleet. Ukrainians understand that the air defense here is quite powerful, which is why they did not expect these missiles to pass through but rather used them for identification of the Russian air defense. Once the missiles were shot down, Ukrainians reportedly launched at least 2 HARM missiles that are designed to pick up electronic signals from radars and destroy them, which completely blinds the air defense system. Finally, Ukrainians launched Storm Shadow missiles, and at least 3 of them reached their destination. The Head of the Ukrainian Air Force stated that the destruction of these 3 ships is just the beginning, and more strikes on Crimea are to come in the near future.

  11. It seems that Russia is seeking alliance & help from Nth Korea, 'God The Creator of Earth' and not their present day leaders know why??

    It is quite possible also that Ukraine will get the initiative back in Crimea and The Black Sea etc because their motives are not horrible or inhumane and against International rules of engagement of Warfare. Not to mention sneaky deals b//W Dictator leaders that are not made public awareness as to what their meetings was about, there are International sanction rules against Nth Korea, Russia ' you gotta take a good look at yourselves, you are alone on the World stage!!

    God bless and God speed Ukraine & friends ✝️

  12. Thanks for the reporting. Just a note from the US. With your merchandise, please make sure that any dual flags that include the US flag have the US flag to it's own right. That would put it on the left when you are looking at the hats or shirts. Just a heads-up because many people don't know this. When flown, the US flag is always either center or to its own right. Thanks and we support Ukraine.

  15. I’m sick and tired of this Ukraine BS.
    They never stood a chance and they never will. They completely ruined their country without achieving anything, other than wiping out their population. Unless it was the plan all along.
    They are just wasting everybody’s time and resources.
    They will never enter nato or eu. The country is too broken to enter either, not to mention corruption, Nazis and lies.
    All the reports coming out of that place are lies. It’s laughable. It is going to take me long time to take them seriously.
    All I can say is that I’m proud I’m not Ukro.

  17. Great update and factual reporting!
    Ukraine is showing the world how to defeat a "superpower" with limited resources but infinite ingenuity and courage!
    I'd not like to be on the receiving end if one of those Storm Shadow missiles.

  25. 日本は戦争に参加する事は出来ないけど..
    🇺🇦がロシア🇷🇺から破壊された🇺🇦の回復のお力になる事は出来ると思っています。
    知ってますか？
    ウクライナ🇺🇦の為に元自衛隊の方が戦死しています。
    🇯🇵政府はウクライナ🇺🇦の義勇兵を認めなかった..
    🇺🇦の為に人でウクライナ🇺🇦に..
    過去🇯🇵の仮想敵国は🇷🇺ロシア と教育された元自衛隊.

  29. These naval facilities are the real reason why Putin wanted the Crimean peninsula. Without this port facility, Russia has NO ports which do not freeze over during the winter. It was entirely predictable that he would try to get them back.
