Vladimir Nedoshivin, the creator of one of the most famous missile complexes, which the Russofascists are insanely proud of and which is used to destroy Ukrainian cities and kill civilians, was forgotten by everyone after retirement and began to abuse alcohol every day. 2/5

But May 9th was celebrated honestly. And this year, during the celebration, a small matter pressed the designer Nedoshivin. And where in such a case does a Russian patriot urinate - right, in the stairwell. 3/5
A neighbor, a plumber Anatoly Kolobaitsev, saw Nedoshivin urinating. He kicked Nedoshivin off the stairs, kicked him again and went his own way. 4/5
After some time, neighbors found Nedoshivin lying in serious condition, called an ambulance and he died in the hospital two days later. 5/5

With no shortage of drones Russia has gone to a strategy of trying to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses.

Last night Russia launched 273 drones against Ukraine. This is the largest attack of this kind since start of the full-scale war. It further paraphrases the trend that since Trump took office, the attacks got more frequent.

Fortunately, the drones are still Made-in-Russia, meaning of low quality. Most of the drones got lost without reaching their target, but the Russian intent is obvious: more violence and more escalation.

Oleksandr Shyrshyn, battalion commander of the 47 Separate Mechanized Brigade, has submitted his resignation, sharply criticizing Ukraine’s military leadership for what he described as senseless orders and unnecessary casualties.
"I have never received more stupid objectives than in the current direction," Shyrshyn wrote in a blunt Facebook post announcing his decision on May 16. "Someday I will tell you the details, but the stupid loss of people, trembling in front of a stupid generals, leads to nothing but failures."
"I hope your children will also serve in the infantry and carry out your orders," he added.
….
The Kyiv Independent reported in 2023 that the brigade, which was formed from scratch in 2022 and is often known by the name “Magura," was prepared with the summer 2023 counteroffensive in mind; its soldiers were trained in NATO countries and equipped with superior new Western equipment.
In 2024, the brigade was engaged in combat operations within Russia's Kursk Oblast.

This is a fine piece of investigative journalism uncovering who was responsible for organizing the looting of Kherson’s museums during the Russian occupation of the city.

As Ukraine's liberating forces advanced in 2022, employees from museums in occupied Crimea, on instructions of the Russian leadership, removed thousands of historical artifacts from Kherson. The Kyiv Independent has discovered who organized the removal and where the collections are now held.

Before Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainian Artem Lagoysky was a Kherson blogger known as "Bydlo." When the Russians arrived, he eagerly accepted a post in the occupying regime as deputy minister of culture.
The Kyiv Independent knew he had information about the theft but in order to speak to him and get him to open up, had to pose as Russian journalists making a film about culture in the "territories liberated by Russia."
Believing he was speaking to a "TV producer in Moscow," Lagoysky, speaking from the occupied Ukrainian city of Henichesk, Kherson Oblast, freely admitted that he "personally carried the exhibits from museums during the evacuation."
Lagoysky also revealed the names of other high-ranking officials from occupied Crimea who came to remove artifacts — Elena Morozova, director of the Chersonesos Museum, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and Mikhail Smorodkin, director of the Sevastopol Defense Museum, one of the largest museums on the occupied peninsula.

2/ A message from a private chat channel for Tuvan units says: "The cultural and language barrier makes our imaginary "friends and comrades" from the DPRK absolutely deny military brotherhood, coherence and army discipline."
3/ "15 cases of drunkenness in the past month, 4 fights, 2 attempts to rape civilians and 7 thefts. There are rumors in the unit that it is not only scary to turn your back, you don't even want to give them weapons.
4/ "Of course, they have strengthened our mobilisation resource, but this has led to many more problems than expected, because the vaunted discipline of North Korea has evaporated at the slightest freedom of action for Korean soldiers."
What always strikes me about the ravings of these lunatics is how they seem to disregard the fact that such an attack would be national suicide for Russia, that Moscow would be a smoldering ruin.
Here’s hoping it blows up on the launch pad.
