Thank you for an insightful piece.
The Russians have announced that they are withdrawing from the grain agreement, which has been in place since August 2022.
During this time, the grain corridor has exported more than 30 million tons of grain crops to different parts of the world, half of the total exports from August 2022 to July 2023.

AHahha that smile 
In tonightās Military Mind, a very interesting insight to the future of drones in war zones and what happened at the Crimean bridge.
Ukrainians push on relentlessly
UKRANIAN CHECHEN SOLDIERS AMBUSHED RUSSIAN TROOPS IN BELGOROD REGION IN RUSSIA AND TRAFFIC JAMS IN CRIMEA SINCE BRIDGE ATTACK
@ Lukas156546 here is a BBC report below. This will come as bad news for many in the World but particularly for African nations. Just at a time when the Russians are trying to improve relations with Africa because nobody else whats to talk to them. It makes no sense apart from Putinās absolute c___dishness / evil.
Russia ends Ukraine grain deal after Crimea bridge attack
Ukraine Special F___es Drones Target Russian Troops Concentrated Camp In The Region of Donetsk
Russia Sends Naval Vessel, US Nuke Submarine Lurks Around | Cuba Caught In Superpower Rivalry Again?
Completely right, Putin also forgets that his ships also have to pass the Bosporus if they want in or out the Black Sea, so that will be a problem for them also and as he told in the video, the BlackSea Fleet is not the best in the world as their flagship the Moskva is now a submarineā¦
Even in the harbour of Sevastopol they are not safe because there are several times attacks from drones, both from air and water.
And the air above the Black Sea is also not the territory where they are the strongest, so I see this withdrawal of the graindeal more as an emergency jump of a cat in a corner.
BTW I did not see anything before of that LANIUS droneā¦ that is a real treat for russia, the doors of the kremlin will be shut
The United States is sending a destroyer and fighter jets to the Middle East in response to Iranās ādestabilising actionsā.
Hopefully bomb their drone production facilities into oblivion.
By the way she is cute 
did not watch the second video that @sparky shared yet? if noā¦ you should 
Thanks for sharing this Lukas although this is not good either because we can see exactly how this ties into the war. In the big picture all these things are interlinked from the war itself, blockading Ukrainian grain exports in the black sea, Cuba getting back into bed with Russia again and America reacting without NATO involvement. I hope there is a decent level of consultation between America and NATO members because none of us want to be sucked into another war. This is why I said the word āEscalationā has always been on my mind from day one. Nothing would suit Putin better as long as it doesnāt affect him. But is he going to cut his nose off to spite his own face?? I mean seriously? If so, he really is a madman that MUST be stopped.
As this war drags on I am becoming more mystified in how or when it will end. Obviously the sooner the better for all of us but as things stand nobody on either side will give away 1cm of land. If Putin was replaced (hopefully soon as real change MUST come from within Russia) and a new leader in place then Russia could have a chance to end it by calling for a withdrawal of f___es provided Putinās replacement isnāt another lunatic dictator of course. This war is simply unwinnable for Russia and Putin is in too deep and he knows it!! Or at least he should because he could actually be mentally out of touch with reality.
Maybe if he pisses off Turkey a little bit more then he will understand he is going the WRONG direction. As you know, Turkey is not to be messed around with in any way. It is quite a powerful f___e in Europe and Iām not just talking militarily. The Turks would cooperate with America or any other NATO member in facilitating the policing of any waterways / passes. I would like to think this would cause even more BIG problems for Putin and that would be just the beginning. Letās just see how this plays out with those in power while sadly young Men and Women are getting k__led needlessly 
the biggest problem is that he ācleanedā all his surrounding people, government etcā¦
so they all say what he wants them to say, nobody will stand up against him
Wagner would have maybe, but would that be better? they are also terrorists who make a habit of k__ling people
so replacement of Putin will not be an easy task
Maybe Turkey can play a positive role in the question , however i donāt trust Erdogan
9 years ago, russian BUK missile tore to pieces the Malaysian MH17 airliner with 298 people on board. Russia spent years lying that āUkraine did itā. But truth prevailed.
@liveukraine_media
Seems like the masterpiece of Russian engineering finally gave up now
By the way is it only me or the whole thing looks really cheap and crappy built? The normal bridges over highways in Germany are more sturdy

There certainly does seem to be rather lot of supporting pillars etc fairly close together?
And the bridge itself looks very thin. Maybe thatās why they used so many pillars.
This may explain why there are so many pillars used to construct the bridge.
Because absolutely no one asked. Yes - the Kerch Bridge is reported to be built on top of a mud volcano, and mud volcanoes in the area do have violent and fiery eruptions.
Certainly bigger spans would need much heavier steel sections/beams.
Yes that is exactly what I meant. 
Maybe Scottās hot glue gun was used during constructionā¦ 
what do you expect with only 3 years of construction time. thatās how long the discussion about the color of the pillars would take here in DEā¦
