Yep think this needs more clarity still!

I think it would be counterproductive for the Russians to lie about a successful Ukrainian strike on a critical piece of infrastructure.
Soldato
It hasn't stopped them in the past.
They start with the most positive press release first, and then revise the narrative down to something resembling the reality of whatever publicly available evidence is floating around.
That doesn't mean they are lying this time, but I will wait until there's more info.
Caporegime
But this is not a case of starting with the most positive press release. In fact, I don't think there's even been a press release. Instead we have Russians in Telegram channels talking about Ukrainian S-200 strikes.
Why would the Russians spread the lie that Ukraine has successfully hit the bridge?

And back into the system through windfall taxes. And, shareholders being tax payers, back into the system from their increased income and spending.

Laugh all you want troll. Nobody listens to you anymore.

The reason they would claim a strike is so they can claim they intercepted all the missiles.
As some have said we need a bit more information.

In the next breath he'll tell you how the tax credits Elon earned are good because Elon will then employ people and they pay taxes.
Sounds like money from a defence budget being well spent for a worthy cause to me.

Well, you were right about that.

Regarding the training given by NATO forces to new Ukrainian recruits - and TBF this shouldn't be a surprise considering the type of warfare currently being used - Open Democracy reported that the training, whilst greatly received, isn't as useful in reality as the Ukrainians had hoped, as the NATO instructors were considered to be too "insurgency in towns" focused and not "WW1 style trench clearing or de-mining in open fields" focused, alongside NATO having exercises being against weaker "enemies" as NATO would have already reduced enemy numbers before attacking, whilst Ukraine can't do the same in reality.
Their report had interviewed several members of the Ukrainian 41st Brigade including "a senior intelligence sergeant" who, alongside others, made some of these claims, alongside a further claim that most of the actual "realistic" training was still done within Ukraine itself. The SGT however praised NATO training for its shooting exercises and that they gave the soldiers equipment such as body armour etc but they said “It would be better if either [the instructors] came here to see what we’re facing or we went there to train their instructors to train our troops”.

I mean, to hey are arguably fighting a weaker enemy. By this point, AFU should have the better training.
'should'.
..but then there is reality. The slow trudge thanks to the enormous amount of mines is definitely not in NATO doctorine.

The reality of the situation will be apparent soon enough. They could be suspending traffic because they suspect more attacks are underway, but if traffic doesn't resume soon after, we will know the attacks have had some level of success.
Conversely, if traffic starts back up, the Russians may have indeed intercepted all missles this time.

Why Ukraine blowing up the dam looking clutch now
Reports of a Russian dam failure flooding the city of Ussuriysk. Let the karma flow!
New sanctions for Russia and more on the way apparently. The Rubble will be further down the toilet soon, or as they say in large areas of Russia, the street.
Putin really has screwed the Russian people over.

Has there ever been a windfall tax on defense companies?
Do you now believe in trickle down economics?
You might be surprised, but they don't care because they are little people(not leprechauns). Most of them have not seen a dollar in their eyes in their life.Reports of a Russian dam failure flooding the city of Ussuriysk. Let the karma flow!

I suppose it depends, but most Russians have seen plenty of dollars, pounds Euros.
