Dozens of Russians are reported killed in this strike where training took place for the Russian 39th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade. The village of Trudivske is about halfway between Donetsk and Mariupol.
Thanks to this missile strike, I have expanded my Russian vocabulary -- dolboeb. 😂
I don’t think those Russians riding on top survived.
Snoopy takes out the Red Baron.
The chances that Russia will willingly pay this are the same as my chances of being the next lead singer for Journey.
Canada steps up.
Sweden steps up.
Good grief. Send the damn armor now, argue about the cost later.
Nothing suspicious about this. Nope. Nothing to see here. Move along.
It is reported that Sechin's son became ill but the ambulance couldn't find him for hours as it was given an unclear address and there was heavy snow.
Rosneft is investigating the case. Russian media report that Sechin forbade FSB and Investigative committee to take part in the investigation.
Ukrainian drones find a hangar full of Russian armor in Staromaiorske and blow it up.
Equipment destroyed:
- 2 S60 anti-aircraft guns
- 2 T72 tanks
- BMP-3 IFV- rare Terminator armored combat vehicle
- pickup
- Two Ural trucks with ammo
We do need to fix the artillery situation ASAP. But drones did a pretty effective job on that hangar.
Lots of Russian stuff blowing up here.
The same tank swapped sides three times.
Whatever sympathy I might have had for Polish farmers at the start of these protests is long gone.
Ukraine’s railway system says the spilled grain was destined for Germany and was only passing through Poland.
My suggestion for Tusk would be to pull his head out of his ass and stop allowing a mob to seize control of the border.
Lednik’s death won’t get anywhere near the attention that Navalny’s death received, but it is good to remember that many opposition figures in Belarus are languishing in prison too.
Another roof fire in a Moscow apartment building. Heating systems in some of these buildings apparently run through the attics. Or maybe it’s arson. Who knows.
Hit it again. Keep hitting it until it looks like something from Avdiivka.
Dayum!
Ukraine warns Russia about using the occupied portion of Moldova known as Transnistria in the war.
I guess Putin needs more hostages to trade.
Why are there any Americans still in Russia at this point?
Two Russian views of Avdiivka.
The first one blasts the military leadership because taking Avdiivka was hardly the fabulous victory it is being portrayed as.
The second is pure fantasy from the defense minister.
Avdeevka was given away to us. Combat-ready enemy units retreated to defensive lines prepared in advance. The enemy was not destroyed, exsanguinated, or weakened. The equipment was not destroyed. The enemy was let go without asking us. Perhaps they
just didn't give each retreater an iPhone, in the best traditions.
The degenerals reported that we were developing an offensive (in the area of the second and third echelons of defense, which took 8 years to build, without ways to supply our own troops?). Like, the enemy is running, we are firing in his back, and God forbid he stops, the poor unfortunates will be torn apart by our kindness.
Now the facts. The Novogrodovka-Progress-Ocheretino defense line has been built
by Ukrainian troops since the beginning of the battle for Donetsk in 2014. Retreating there does not in any way make the AFU troops vulnerable. They were vulnerable on the way there, but how much do we know about the burned columns of Ukrainians?.. Nothing. Why? Because until the last minutes of the battles there was no isolation of the battlefield. The enemy could move completely and freely to Avdeevka, Lastochkino, Tonenkoye.
Can we advance greatly and beat the fleeing non-brothers all the way to Kyiv? No we can not. There are no roads. And there are no engineering services capable of solving this problem. Or rather, they exist somewhere - but it's very far away. I haven't seen any. The task of "go and gain a foothold" is solved through personal enthusiasm. Until recently, ammo, food and water were delivered there by caravans of people dragging 20-50 kilograms on their own humps. Estimate the distance to "Khimik" yourself.
Well, now, knowing these facts, re-read what Murz wrote again. Not about losses - those who died cannot be brought back, but those who are responsible for them are 146% likely to get promoted. Think about who is lying to you and who you can listen to. And then draw conclusions.
Minimal losses, Shoigu says. He also says that Russia has completely taken over Krynky.
In other news, they are also on the outskirts of Berlin and their navy just seized Hawaii.
They need to come up with some better bullshit than the bullshit they have been spewing.
Elon strikes again.
Some good news for a change.
Translation from Google:
"Lives destroyed by the crimes of the Russian Federation": the Council of Europe opened a photo exhibition about the children of Ukraine during the war. The series of photos was created by the French photographer of Ukrainian origin Yuriy Bilak, who has been photographing Ukraine since 2014.
Rest in peace.
Another happy reunion.
Combat Cats need their sleep too.
Hand me that wrench.
