My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and fifty eighth day of the war. Day 458: May 27 Ukrainians increased the frequency and intensity of precision strikes on the Russian bases in the Zaporizhia region. If previously, Ukrainians conducted around 10 strikes per week, then now they are conducting 10 strikes per day. The most destructive strikes happened in Mariupol. Today local residents reported hearing multiple explosions near the airfield. The footage indicates activation of the Russian air defense and, according to the unconfirmed reports, Russians shot down 1 out of 4 missiles. This is the second consecutive day of strikes because yesterday, Ukrainians struck Mariupol with 2 Strom Shadow missiles. The targets of the strike were 2 facilities on the territory of the Azovstal industrial complex: one facility was used for the residence of hundreds of troops, while another one was used as a warehouse for equipment. Today more information became available as some Russian sources expressed their discontent and critique of the Russian command for failure to adjust to the new realities of war while mentioning that 250 special operators and marines died in the aftermath of yesterday’s strike. It was also mentioned that a week ago, Ukrainians destroyed more than 200 troops in a similar strike on the facilities near the airfield, so a bit higher that the initial Ukrainian estimates of 150 troops. The fact that just in these 2 consecutive strikes, Ukrainians managed to eliminate almost 500 troops made many Russian analysts convinced that a lot of local residents had been actively spying for an extended period of time, which is why more counter-spying measures should be implemented as soon as possible. Another powerful Strom Shadow strike happened in Berdyansk. The explosion was seen from villages located more than 10 km away from the shore. Some sources reported that the target of the strike became the recreational center Himiki, and other sources suggested that the target of the attack was the Azovkabel factory, however, both versions agree that Ukrainians were aiming at the areas of forces concentrations. Ukrainians are also still actively using HIMARS. Over the last several days, Ukrainian conducted at least 3 HIMARS strikes on the Russian military objects in and around Donetsk. The target of the most recent strike became a former institute that Russians were using for military purposes. The target of the second strike became the twin towers or, more precisely, anti-tank-guided missile systems, electronic warfare systems, and reconnaissance systems that were conveniently placed on the roof of these high-rise buildings. The target of the third strike became an ammunition depot for the Russian air defense systems near Mospyne. Other sources also reported that Ukrainian artillery crews are also striking the towns and cities closer to the contact line. Some Ukrainian fighters stated that today HIMARS rockets also hit Russian objects in Nikoske, Melitopol, and Tokmak. Ukrainians are conducting smaller strikes outside the borders of Ukraine. Since Ukrainians agreed not to use HIMARS and Strom Shadows to hit Russian territories, for these purposes, Ukrainians are using various types of kamikaze drones. Overall, it is clear that, right now, Ukrainians are focused on the areas of enemy forces concentrations, and at the moment, their primary targets are the headquarters of the most trained and prepared Russian forces, such as pilots, marines, and special operators. In parallel, Ukrainians are using their drones to hit distant critical supply line objects, in particular the ones that are related to fuel. Even though the drones do not have the same success rate as Storm Shadow missiles, since drones are cheap and can be launched frequently, Ukrainians managed to destroy up to 20 fuel-related facilities just over the last month. The continuation of this campaign ensures that Russians will accumulate a plethora of problems with manpower and supplies, especially in the southern direction, where their supply lines and military objects are extremely vulnerable.
