Oleshky has been under Russian control for almost 5 years now. It makes no sense for Russia to attack it.
Russia has troops pretty much everywhere along the frontline. Russia is also mostly on the offensive
Trying to supply your contingent by boats over Dnieper would be suicidal unless you have enough forces to secure huge bridgehead. Which Ukraine just doesn't have. But Ukrainian command did try some dumb stuff before just for PR and to post few pictures.
AFAIK, Ruzzia is using the truce to move troops in Oleshky. The "control" may be as good as the control in other "controlled" areas.
Mostly on the offensive. What do you think about something called operation Vivaldi?
Do you think that there may be something similar happening right now in a different direction?
You are so backward, always focusing on little happenings to try to bring fear to Russians, while hiding the truth from the people of the West.
What do you think about Russia firing a Bulava missile from the sea of Okhotsk? Why hasn't there been any confirmation of this in western media? Does Russia have to use the nukes that this missile can carry to prove to the West and their media that such really happened?
RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR SIGNAL: A BULAVA MISSILE FIRED FROM BENEATH THE SEA OF OKHOTSK
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/russias-nuclear-signal-a-bulava-missile-ugcPost-7521614138603884544-MPz3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAABuG4EBGoGJX-VaX1Cs9xFysGE1CQfqFogOn 28 October 2026, Russia released footage of the Pacific Fleet's Generalissimus Suvorov, a Borei-A-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, launching an RSM-56 Bulava missile from beneath the Sea of Okhotsk.
According to Russia's Ministry of Defence, the missile's warheads reached the designated Chizha test range in the Arkhangelsk region, near the Kanin Peninsula. Russian authorities described the launch as part of the crew's scheduled combat training.
The reported trajectory covered approximately 5,500–6,000 kilometres across Russia a demonstration of the reach of Moscow's sea-based nuclear deterrent.
1?? A submarine is a survivable nuclear platform.
Unlike fixed land-based missile sites, ballistic missile submarines can operate while concealed underwater. Their ability to remain undetected makes them a critical component of a nuclear second-strike capability: the ability to retaliate even after an adversary's first strike.
2?? One submarine represents substantial firepower.
The Borei-A-class Generalissimus Suvorov can carry up to 16 Bulava submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The Bulava has an estimated maximum range of approximately 8,300 kilometres, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
The missile is designed to carry multiple independently targetable nuclear warheads. This does not mean that every missile carries its maximum possible warhead load in every deployment.
3?? Geography is part of the strategic message.
The Sea of Okhotsk lies in Russia's Far East, north of Japan. The designated test range is in northwestern Russia, demonstrating the ability to launch from the Pacific region towards a target thousands of kilometres away.
This is not simply about the missile. It is also about the survivability, readiness and reach of Russia's strategic nuclear forces.
4?? Routine training can still communicate strategic intent.
Russia says the launch followed its combat training plan. That explanation should be taken into account, rather than automatically treating the event as a direct threat or an imminent escalation.
Nevertheless, demonstrating that a submarine can launch a strategic missile from a submerged position sends a reminder of Russia's nuclear capabilities at a time of continuing tensions between Moscow and Western countries.
?? The important distinction: Russia has reported a successful test, but its claims about the warheads reaching the designated area have not been independently verified by the reporting cited below.
