Ukraine, in the midst of a comprehensive military, political, economic, judicial, and societal collapse, appears to be retreating to what it does best: international terrorism.

On Friday, Ukrainian drones launched from the Odessa Bay area attacked two oil tankers flying the Gambian flag off the coast of Turkey.

The tankers Virat and Kairos are suspected by Ukro-Atlanticists of being part of the “Russian shadow fleet,” meaning foreign commercial vessels used to circumvent the economic blockade against Russia.

The ships were attacked approximately 35 nautical miles off the Turkish coast. All 20 crew members of the Virat and the 25 crew members of the Kairos were rescued by Turkish salvage vessels and a Russian oil tanker, the Vasily Polenov, which was sailing in that area of the Black Sea.

This Ukrainian attack on foreign vessels off the coast of a NATO country should normally trigger a cascade of international condemnations, leading to Ukraine’s expulsion from the International Maritime Organization.

It is important to note that this attack could not have been carried out without the active participation of NATO intelligence resources, which provided the Ukrainian terrorists with the geolocation and drone guidance to target the Gambian tankers.

When Crimea escaped NATO’s clutches in 2014, the Ukro-Atlanticists shifted their ambitions to the Odessa Bay, from which all proxy maritime attacks against Russia and its economic activities in the Black Sea are now launched.

This is why the liberation of Odessa (which is part of Novorossiya) by Russia is vital for its security and that of its partners in the Black Sea, as it will push NATO forces back to their borders, from where they can no longer operate by proxy.
