By their actions in the Black Sea they're preventing Ukranian exports so are wounding the economy that way; they don't need intervene in the farms. This is a good thread about the situation: https://twitter.com/DAlperovitch/sta...33244872413184

Longer range anti ship missiles are on the way to Ukraine which could end the blockade. I believe exports are being routed via Poland currently but at a reduced rate.

Also

Rumours are swirling in Moscow that former generals / KGB officials are preparing to oust Russia’s president Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, which is increasingly seen across Russia as a strategic mistake / an economic disaster.

They don't need to "invade" farms but could make the land/crops unusable. In ancient days they'd salt the ground and sew rocks. Could they engineer "an accident"?

Breaking: Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate of the Russian Navy Black Sea Fleet is reportedly on fire near Zmiiny island in Black Sea. Rescue operation ongoing, multiple aircraft, rescue vessels in the area.

Troops sent into Ukraine to back up Russian forces say they had no choice but to leave because Russian military was in shambles and “they deceived us at every step.”

Soldiers from the breakaway state of South Ossetia—speaking to South Ossetian leader Anatoly Bibilov at a meeting publicized by the independent news outlet MediaZona—rattled off a list of complaints about faulty equipment, lack of leadership and intel, and brainless tactics.

and

Quote:
SENIOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL: OK, back at it here as Senior Defense Official. On the operational side we still assess that Russian progress on the ground remains slow and uneven in the northern joint force operation area with Russian forces appearing to really sort of orient themselves around Lyman, L-Y-M-A-N, Lyman, which is as I think you all know just a wee bit southeast of Izyum, but that seems to be where they're starting to orient themselves.

As they continue to try to move south and southeast, they are continuing to meet with greater concentrations of Ukrainian forces and a stiffer resistance, so they still remained stalled in general. Again, I would say progress is very slow and uneven. They are stalled in terms of their overall momentum in the north.

Now getting more widespread coverage as rumour hardens into verifiable facts

Honestly, Russians shouldn’t play with matches, the amount of their stuff that mysteriously catches fire and explodes is ridiculous.

Any "Breaking" news posted by me or anyone else should be subject to confirmation. Good to see not one has been proved wrong though. (in regards to the situation in Ukraine).

Putin’s victory day speech has passed without him declaring war on anyone. Though the most notable thing might be the cancellation of the air show. They blamed poor weather, though observers say that’s hard to believe. I wonder if Putin feared an attack of some sort, or whether he simply no longer has enough operational jets to spare.

Russian EPGs have been hacked this morning. Programme descriptions on all channels were changed to read “On your hands is the blood of thousands of Ukrainians and their hundreds of murdered children. TV and the authorities are lying. No to war”

Indeed - better than this time last year, when the fly-past went ahead as scheduled. Seeing as the aircraft were all available for rehearsal, I suspect they feared an attack. Just one stinger missile smuggled into the suburbs could have made quite a mess.
