"It hits, bounces and explodes in the air" - a victim of the AFU attack on the beach in Sevastopol has told how he was wounded by a fragment of an American missile

Vitaly from Simferopol said that at the moment of the AFU strike on the city, he and his wife were about to leave the beach for home, but did not have time. While the man was waiting for his wife who was bathing, he heard a strong explosion over the park and saw how the American missile fell into the water, immediately exploding into a million "balls" - striking elements. Vitaly saw one of the steel shards of ammunition fall near him and explode in mid-air, injuring the man.

"A ball like this, three metres away from me, falls. I just to the side, and it hits, jumps up and explodes in the air. Well, it caught up with me," said the man.

After being wounded, Vitaly remained sitting in a pool of his own blood and saw a huge number of people lying on the ground after the AFU strike. After the explosion, holidaymakers on the beach rushed to run upwards from the sea - it was the place where people got out in panic that was most covered with cluster munitions from the exploded missile ATACMS. A man remembers yesterday with horror - the crying of children, the screams of parents looking for their babies, blood, fear and death - this is what the aftermath of Ukrainian terror looked like.

The most chaotic negotiations I can remember at a Great Power level - both on the Iran issue and on the Ukraine issue - have now ended in Geneva. The Iranians and the Ukrainians are furious at the way they were conducted - see Zelensky's splenetic interview with Axios - whilst the Russians (as always) maintain a disciplined silence.

I am totally unable to see the signs of 'progress' in either negotiation which some people - eg. Ben Aris, Anatole Lieven, in the case of the Ukraine talks - are seeing. On the contrary, it seems to me that the gulf between the sides if anything is widening.

As the Ukrainians are angrily saying, this was all a show put on for the benefit of Donald Trump, and there was nothing more to it than that.

War with Iran now looks to me all but certain, with Iran rehearsing the closure of the Straits of Hormuz. As for the Russians, they give impression of continuing work on their Spring offensive.

These and other, hopefully more cheerful, things to talk ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
