Ukraine recaptured the village of Nadiya in Luhansk Oblast, which is west of Svatove and is so small if you blink while driving through you’ll miss it. Nadiya (надія) means hope in Ukrainian.
Russia occupied the village at the start of the invasion, then Ukraine recaptured it during its autumn counter-offensive in 2022 and then Russia re-occupied it.
WARNING: Video shows dead Russians.

If this is confirmed, four helicopters shot down would be — as Joe Biden might say — a big fucking deal.
After five days the oil terminal at Kavkazskaya is still burning fiercely.

Could be a terrorist attack or it could be another instance of Russia persuading some local person to plant a bomb somewhere and then detonating it remotely to eliminate the witness.

Speaking of being “in complete ass,” this lone survivor of a three-man assault team says his commanders treat soldiers as if they are “not even human.”

Russian grunt from the 114th Brigade bitches about hellish days: "They chuck us into meat grinder assaults—I’m the last of three still kicking. We’re not even human to them. No meds, no leave, two hits—cough up dough or keep charging." Kurakhivka direction.

Russian military publics rage over a "genius" business scheme in the RF army. Two workers of the 60th Brigade marry "SVO" fighters, a warrant officer kills them at the front, and they split the hefty death compensation payouts. They say this scam thrives among Russian women.

These poor soldiers have been rendered impotent by their evil spouses and their evil feminism. 😂
Sounds a lot like MAGA.
3/ "There have been more and more cases when soldiers who defended their homeland on the front lines are now betrayed on the home front. While they were fighting, their families were destroyed.
4/ "Ex-wives, drawn into cult-like feminist groups, with the support of professional psychologists and lawyers, deprive veterans of the most precious things: children, property and a roof over their heads.
5/ "These men, who went through the fire of war, now find themselves on the street, abandoned and impotent!
