Russians reporting that Ukraine tried an insane all out assault on snake island and lost a ridiculous amount of men and equipment. Makes no sense and there's no evidence for it but interesting to know what they're shoveling on that side.
They're also running with "Kharkiv and Izyum were just used to fix Ukrainian forces and now we're purposely withdrawing according to plan".Russian MOD reports losses on the Ukrainian side during a repelled attack on Snake Island: a Su-24, a Su-27, three Mi-8 helicopters full of soldiers, two Bayraktars & a Centaur-class assault craft (the "Stanislav"). Very painful for the Ukrainains if accurate.

I could see them wanting to take the island back for its strategic value, but no way this happened. Ukraine basically owns that airspace right now, and there's no way the Russians shoot down all those aircraft when bayraktars are ****ting all over them.
