Everything going according to the plan 🤣

Russian defense ministry announced the creation of the Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk troop groups.

What's next? 🤡

Ukraine Deploys New Naval Drone in Crimea, Based on a Jet Ski Design

The Ukrainian military has introduced a new naval drone, modified from a jet ski, which was used against Russian forces in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Ukraine continues to impress observers with its innovative UAV developments, according to OSINT expert H.I. Sutton.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 is confirmed to have destroyed the 3rd and final bridge across the Seym River connecting Russian forces to the Glushkovsky District, Kursk

Russia can no longer bring supplies or equipment into or out of ~640km2, roughly the area Russia took in the past year in Ukraine

"You are f*cking lugnuts! Get some f*cking shovels and dig some trenches for the guys if you can't take up arms! The veteran community in St. Petersburg is all nervous right now."

Russian "Z-war correspondent" shared a stunning video of a "heroic propagandist" who was dissatisfied with the fact that the residents of the Kursk region decided not to defend it.

Perhaps he and the guys from St. Petersburg have already gone to Kursk to help?🤣🤡

A second powerful explosion at the oil depot in Rostov region.

It is burning for two days since a drone attack last morning. And now a new explosion.

Russia dropped a guided aerial bomb on Myrnohrad, Donetsk region. An unfinished 9 story residential building and a supermarket nearby were hit. At least three people injured, there might be more people under the debris.

Myrnohrad literally means "peaceful city" in Ukrainian...

"This is Putin’s war against Russia. And if he doesn’t like it, if it’s making him a little uncomfortable, then there’s an easy solution: He can just get the hell out of Ukraine and call it a day." - White House national security spokesperson John Kirby.

Shoigu and Gerasimov during today's meeting with #Putin on the situation in #Kursk region.

Caption their faces?

🤡🤣

Just to put things into perspective:

It took Russians almost a year and between 70,000 and 100,000 WIA / KIA in casualties to take 390 square kilometers (150 square miles) in the Avdiivka sector. They hailed this as a "genius" move.

Ukrainians took in 5 days more than 470 square kilometers (180 square miles) in Kursk, with no significant losses, according Russian claims even up to 700 square kilometers, and there is no sign of them stopping.

This is what russia does. Daily and nightly. Purposely. Gloating and enjoying themselves. They know what they do. It’s genocide 101. And they tend to keep doing it as long as they can. Will we, as a civilized world, allow them to continue?

Why isn’t #ViktorOrban there to learn about his “peace”?

The oncology station of the Children Hospital, which Russians struck this morning, has been evacuated. The children need to receive their cancer treatment in the open.

This is the result of the Russian World.

Russian terrorist attack on one of Ukraine's most important children's hospitals.

When will Joe Biden finally allow #Ukraine to destroy Russian air force bases with #US weapons?

When will Olaf Scholz finally deliver #Taurus for exactly this purpose?

Children are screaming under the rubble of the destroyed building entrance, witnesses say.

That's a good thing! North Korea: please donate more junk to Russia.

🤣 North Korean shells in use by the russian army.

We actually heard about that problem many weeks ago already. Finally we also have video evidence now.

A resident of Mariupol who was forced to leave her city because of Russia explains to Russians what crimes they committed.

She says that she will never forget Russian crimes and will not let her children forget about them.

Aid packages "should be coming in, but unfortunately, they are coming very slowly" - President Zelenskyy.
