A Russian Scooby van goes bavovna
Just when you think Russia is about as FUBAR as it gets.
Russia attacks Kharkiv again.

Kharkiv's first responders are nothing short of heroes. They often have to extinguish fires, provide medical aid, evacuate civilians, and dig through rubble while attack is still ongoing.
Today, they shared a video of a Russian drone strikes on Kharkiv. The footage captures them as they race

Russia continues to drag its feet on a limited ceasefire.
x
There is no ceasefire in the Black Sea or energy sector – Zelensky.
“Silence in the Black Sea benefits Russia—they have suffered losses there.”
Despite U.S. views, no ceasefire exists. Today, Russians struck energy infrastructure in Kherson—there must be a response from the U.S.”

And over at Toretsk, Ukraine advances southwest of the town but Russia tenaciously clings to positions in the town itself.
Makes you wonder what his real crime was.

Indication of a crisis in Russia?
In what's maybe the biggest oligarch fall out since the jailing of @khodorkovsky.com, billionaire Vadim Moshkovich has been arrested.
The fraud accusation (poss 10 yr sentence) is ridiculous as they're all corrupt. We need to know why now?

A Russian soldier laughs and says “cool,” while he videos the destruction from an attack on their positions.
Remember the town of Klishchiivka, where a brutal battle was fought ending with Ukraine driving Russia out of the town south of Bakhmut?
This is a long thread that describes in vivid detail how Russia sent waves of infantry to try to retake positions there and suffered ridiculously large losses. The account comes from the Russians, who laud the exploits of one guy who managed to survive and hold out for 30 days.

1/ The area around the destroyed village of Klishchiivka in the Donetsk region has been the site of fierce fighting for months, in which hundreds of Russians have died. A Russian account of a failed assault illustrates the extreme losses that they are taking in the battle. ⬇️

2/ The 'BCh3' Telegram channel describes how 180 Russian soldiers – convicts, deserters and stormtroopers – were sent in six waves in a single attack to retake lost Russian positions near Klishchiivka. Only half of the first wave made it, with the rest quickly wiped out. 177 of the 180 were killed:
…..
5/ "The order was very simple – to regain the previously lost positions behind the railway tracks in Klishchiivka. They were divided into six groups – thirty people in each, and began to wait for darkness. Everyone was shaking.
6/ "Somewhere seven kilometers away, where the front was and where they had to go, there was thunder and reddish flashes.The first group, loaded with everything they could carry, was spotted only when they got to the railway tracks.
7/ "And they began to unwind with artillery and machine gun fire. 16 people were left lying on the rails, but 14, together with our hero, were able to slip past the railway and take their old positions.
8/ "It was a momentary surprise, [but] the second group was already expected [by the Ukrainians] and all thirty people were destroyed, not even letting them reach the embankment.
9/ "The third group left in the morning, and was also knocked down, they managed to pull out only two seriously wounded.
10/ "At the same moment when the third group was being destroyed on the approach, an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group jumped into the trenches of the 14 that had broken through.
11/ "They shot the commander in the face, killed two medics, and threw grenades at everyone they saw. We don't know how, but by a miracle of God, but the man in question managed to kill three sabotage and reconnaissance group members.
…..
14/ "And although it was clear that the enemy had pulled reserves, tanks, and multiple launch rocket systems to the breakthrough site, that the enemy was listening perfectly well to Russian radio communications, the commanders, with dull stubbornness,…
15/ …sent all three remaining groups one by one behind the embankment. No one reached those who had broken through, all remained lying on the nameless open space near the railway track before Klishchiivka.
At least six died in this accident.

👀❗️ In Egypt, the tourist bathyscaphe "Sinbad" sank with 45 Russians on board. Six of the crew died, 39 were injured.
The cause of the accident was initially thought to be a collision of the bathyscaphe with a reef. After that, a depressurization occurred on board.

What should make people uneasy is the timidity of some European officials who have neither a spine or cojones.

🇪🇺
You should support @kajakallas.bsky.social
...more than two years... That is, they do not see a problem in their own words.
And then Kaja Kallas appeared and decided to defend Ukraine and Europe as a whole. And they are not happy about it.
Just imagine degree of this ugliness!

WHY DO rUSSIANS WANT TO KILL SO MUCH?
🇺🇦, Europe, Now
It is difficult to imagine the degree of vileness of russians who simply want to kill and blame the victim for somehow surviving.
It's also disgusting to see US government supporting russians, it won't end well for whole World!

Another 1,640 Russians who chose poorly.
Plus 8 tanks, 58 artillery systems and 169 other vehicles.
And most of those casualties are caused by drones.

Russian military doctors: "More than 75% of all Russian soldiers' wounds received during positional warfare are caused by Ukrainian UAVs. Drones also affected the time it takes to evacuate the wounded - it increased threefold to 14.5 hours." t.me/zadrony/1194

Having no doors makes it easy to jump out right before the drone takes you out.
It can also be used to make gin.
Russia raids a vegetable market looking for meat for the grinder.
There are no words for this.
Rest in peace.
Yep.
