Ukrainians blowing up the Black Sea fleet overnight with naval drones at Novorossysk. 

One warship was damaged according to reporting in the Globe and the Times.  Two naval drones were used in that attack.  Air drones were used in an attack on another Russian port but its unclear if they reached their target.

Sorta love that millennia later, fireships are still a feature in naval warfare.

Apparently Ukraine has warned that ships going to Russian ports in the Black Sea are in a war zone.

Is going to have effects on insurance costs for transports to Russia.

Russia is apparently running a social media campaign in Kazakhstan, trying to recruit citizens of that country for the war in Ukraine.

How's that working out for them?

So far just Borat and some superior potassium, but it's still early.

The reporting I saw focused on how it's a sign of weakness and annoying their Kazakh friends... but I couldn't say.

Apparently the bridgehead near Kherson which seemed to be just a holding action has progressed significantly and they now hold a few km on the east bank of the Dnieper.

Preaching patriotism to kill off some of the Russian minority keeping Kazakhstan tied to Russia?
Or promise a new donkey to some of the poorest of the poor?

[Jacob]

I think they're offering the equivalent of a few thousand dollars as a signing bonus.
