Magyar’s poetry update: the shadow fleet is wasting away – and it should disappear as a species.
+11⚓️🔥 on the night of July 14. In just 9 days, USF Birds have hunted down 116 vessels in the Sea of Azov as part of Operation "MoLoCHKa": 5 oil tankers, 5 dry cargo vessels, and 1 tugboat.
The shadow fleet is wasting away – and it should disappear as a species.
A lot of people don't fully understand what's happening around this naval battle. Where did all these tankers come from? What's their mission? And why are the USF Birds hammering them without sinking them, instead turning them into ghost ships drifting at sea? I'll find the time and record a video explaining it all.
For now, here's the short version: PARALYZING russia's feeder fleet – the small and medium 140-meter flat-bottomed "courier" tankers with a deadweight of around 7,000 tons – effectively cripples a major component of russia's shadow fleet. It prevents the export of its "black gold" from river-port oil transshipment bases and loading terminals through the Volga–Don Canal and the Sea of Azov to large tankers. Those larger tankers can't reach the oil terminals or ports because of their draft, so they're forced to load offshore in the Black Sea from these courier tankers, each of them taking on cargo delivered by 12–15 of these little water shuttles.
Burning these worm-camels of the sea – along with the tugboats that keep dragging them around after they've been hit – also limits deliveries of scarce gasoline to Crimea through the shallow bottleneck of the Sea of Azov. That leaves road and rail tankers as the primary supply route – a far more dangerous option, since both remain under the fire control of the Freedom-Loving Ukrainian Bird, whether they move on asphalt or rails.
That turned into quite a sentence, but the curious ones will figure it out. I'll explain the rest more clearly in another video soon. Promise.
Back to work, gentlemen! We've got a hell of a lot to do.
We will stand.
Moscow will fall, MoLoChKa⚓️is in action.
Crimea will be fed back up and rebuilt.

BREAKING:
Ukraine has destroyed another large Russian military vessel.
Ukrainian drones have struck the FSB Project 23550 arctic patrol ship Purga just as its construction was nearing completion in the port of Vyborg.
It’s now leaning over and has hit a building.
Four commercial banks in Georgia are preparing to join China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), a Chinese international payment network often seen as an alternative to SWIFT. One of the banks involved is Cartu Bank, owned by Georgian Dream founder Bidzina Ivanishvili.
The process will reportedly be mediated by the National Bank of Georgia.
Economists warn the step may reflect preparations for a scenario in which Georgia could face restrictions from Western financial systems.
Economist Giorgi Khishtovani said the authorities appear to be seeking alternatives in case Georgia’s financial system faces disruption, noting that while a Russian alternative would be politically difficult, China’s system could serve as a fallback.
CIPS, launched in 2015 by the People’s Bank of China, is designed to facilitate international payments in Chinese yuan and is part of Beijing’s effort to expand the global role of its currency.
We hear you, we see you and we will never forget that you helped an authoritarian regime prolong terror and repression and hide reality!
