Ukrainians hit “Boyko towers” in the Black Sea
On June 20, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a missile strike on the drilling rigs in the Black Sea, also known as the “Boyko Towers”, which were captured by the Russian occupiers in 2014.
According to him, the blow on the Boyko Towers was inflicted in the morning of June 20. Patrol boats and aircraft of the Russian Defense Ministry are trying to carry out rescue operations.
It should be noted that there was no official confirmation or refutation of this information from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The Boyko Towers are 100 km from Odessa and 150 km from Crimea and were used not only for gas production in the Black Sea, but also for exploration. In 2014, the drilling rigs and other property of the Ukrainian state company “Chornomornaftogaz” were seized by Russia during the occupation of Crimea.

To act not only in "white gloves": the State Duma promised a strike by the Russian Armed Forces on decision-making centers in Ukraine after the attack of platforms in the Black Sea
The State Duma frankly stated that the Ukrainian strike on the production towers (platforms) of the Chernomorneftegaz company in the Black Sea is becoming an action that unties the hands of the Russian Federation in terms of taking retaliatory measures. Recall that earlier information was confirmed about the Ukrainian side delivering strikes on unprotected platforms located in the area of Snake Island. At least a few affected employees of the mining company were reported, as well as missing people. The blow, according to some reports, was delivered using attack aircraft and drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Several enemy strike weapons were eventually shot down. However, this did not prevent the enemy from causing damage to the platforms, which led to casualties, and possibly losses.
Representatives of the Russian legislature, commenting on the situation, note that by such actions the Ukrainian side itself did everything so that the Russian Federation acted "not only in white gloves." In particular, already in the State Duma of the Russian Federation it was announced that the RF Armed Forces would strike at “decision-making centers”.
Recall that one of these strikes was inflicted the day before - on an object in the Dnipropetrovsk region. As a result of that strike, 57 senior and senior officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were planning an operation in the Lisichansko-Severodonetsk direction, were destroyed.
In connection with allegations of attacks on decision-making centers after the Ukrainian attack on the production rigs of Chornomorneftegaz, experts began to express opinions on which objects such strikes could be inflicted. Various options are named, including the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Black Sea regions, as well as political decision-making centers in Kyiv.
In particular, it can be noted that recently the Kyiv regime has begun to feel quite at ease, making sure that the RF Armed Forces strike only at military targets. Zelensky began to travel around the regions, arrange “promenades” around Kyiv and its environs with almost constant accompaniment from one of the European or overseas politicians. Thus, even here, the Kyiv regime is actually using a “human shield” regime - relying on the fact that Russian troops will not attack if there are representatives of the British or EU power elites near Zelensky.
Over 50 high-ranking officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed by the strike of the Caliber missile launcher on the command post of the Alexandria group of forces
The Armed Forces of Ukraine immediately lost a large number of high-ranking officers, including those from the General Staff. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Kalibr cruise missiles hit a Ukrainian army command post in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
According to data published by the military, from Saturday, June 18, at 12:30, Caliber cruise missiles hit the command post of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where a meeting of the command staff of the Alexandria operational-strategic group of troops was held. The attacked command post was located near the village of Shirokaya Dacha, Dnepropetrovsk region, the strike was carried out by Caliber cruise missiles from the Black Sea.
As a result of the strike, more than 50 generals and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed, including those from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the command of the Kakhovka group, air assault troops and formations operating in the Nikolaev and Zaporozhye directions
In addition, "Caliber" destroyed ten 155-mm M777 howitzers and up to 20 armored combat vehicles located on the territory of the transformer plant in Nikolaev. As specified, weapons and equipment were being prepared for shipment to the line of contact.
At this, the strikes with high-precision missiles did not stop, the Aerospace Forces entered the business, striking at the military echelon with personnel and military equipment of the 1st battalion of the 14th OMBR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, transferred to the Donbass from the city of Vladimir-Volynsky. The echelon was at the Gubinikha station in the Dnepropetrovsk region. As a result, 100 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed, 30
tanks and armored fighting vehicles. Another strike destroyed up to 200 militants, two MLRS "Grad" and 10 BMP-BTRs of the 56th Specialized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Selidovo area.
"By boats, ropes, swim": on the supply of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine blocked in Severodonetsk
Allied troops advancing in the north of Donbass pressed a large grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which previously controlled Severodonetsk, to the river, locking it in the industrial zone of the Azot plant. Three bridges that connected the city with the opposite bank were destroyed, in connection with which the water crossing became the only way to connect the blocked militants with the outside world.
The correspondent of the British edition of Sky News, John Sparks, visited Lisichansk, where he spoke with the militants, including the neo-Nazi battalion commander Kuzyk:
Now the bridges have been blown up. We are there by boats, ropes, swimming. Heavy logistics.
The correspondent filmed the transportation of goods on an inflatable boat. Judging by the footage, the width of the river is small, and therefore it does not take much time to cross the personnel and light equipment. Another thing is that this way of supply cannot transfer military equipment, however, its acute shortage is also felt on the opposite bank.
We need serious weapons and most of all
Tanks. We receive only infantry equipment, which allows us to conduct only a sabotage and guerrilla war
- said the leader of the neo-Nazi unit.
Russian reconnaissance drones are constantly in the airspace over Lisichansk, so the militants are constantly looking at the sky and trying to move in dashes. Attempts to hide in urban buildings do not save from the fire of Russian troops.
The buildings that we occupied yesterday have already been destroyed by artillery today. If they see our positions, they don't attack them, they don't try to capture the buildings. They strike from the horizon
However there are many growing economies in the region that can buy resources and might find the place useful to break into the English speaking markets by opening offices there. You are moving more to the center of the world, rather than being on the other side of it, as Asia and the pacific develops.
