Over $150,000 raised in a day in crowdfunding in Ukraine for the capture of Igor Girkin, a prominent Russian nationalist who led Kremlin-backed separatists suring Putin’s first invasion of Ukraine in 2014. He is also wanted over the downing of flight MH17 in 2014.

 

Hope they catch the s.o.b. soon. May he live to be 115 years old and spend every miserable second of the rest of his life behind bars.

Tajikistan!  That country is nowhere near Ukraine.  Sounds like their gov sent them to please Vlad, and the guys aren't happy.  Chechans too are being drafted and sent there, they don't sound too happy either.  And now that swine in Belarus sending the country's young.

Could this be the beginning of a grass-roots uprising between Russia and the people of it's block?  Maybe soon will be revealed that Russian soldiers are dying from being shot in the back of the head.

LT Lapin was being a dick and should have known better. Calling Allah a coward is never a good idea, especially when you do it in front of a couple of Muslim soldiers holding a gun. Sounds like the death of LT Lapin (if he was one of the victims of this shooting) was not a great loss to humanity.

Kyiv attacked by kamikaze drones say officials

The Ukrainian capital Kyiv has been hit by at least four explosions - with a presidential adviser blaming "kamikaze drones" sent by Russia.

"It shows their desperation," said Andriy Yermak, head of Ukrainian President Zelensky's staff.

Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said residential buildings in the central Shevchenkivskiy area had been damaged.

A week ago, the capital was hit by Russian missiles at rush hour, part of nationwide attacks which left 19 dead.

Couldn't put it better than this............................

 

President Zelensky has described Iran's supply of attack drones to Russia as "collaboration with evil". Apparently there's more: Iran has secretly agreed to send surface-to-surface missiles intended for use against Ukrainian cities and troop positions.

 

President Zelensky's reaction to this morning's attacks: "All night and all morning, the enemy terrorises the civilian population. Kamikaze drones and missiles are attacking all of Ukraine. The enemy can attack our cities, but it won't be able to break us."

“Iran must stop waging its proxy war in Ukraine. Iran seems willing to wage its war to the last Russian soldier.” “Iran providing Russia with weapons will only prolong the war”

Apparently Girkin is somewhere at the front in Ukraine now. I hope some of his ‘buddies’ there read/hear about the $150,000 bounty and decide to hand him over to Ukraine. How cool would that be?

Iran denies delivery of drones to Russia, and Russia denies using Iranian drones. The EU is searching for evidence that Russia actually uses Iranian suicide drones (shouldn’t be too hard to find, I think), and if the evidence is there, Iran can expect to be hit with (more) sanctions.

Exactly like Iran denies its nuclear development, even when faced with video evidence from this mornings strikes and previous downed drones as below:

Iran must be Punished Sanctions will not work. H,owever what Iran is doing is what the west is doing against Russia. So the only action is to keep shooting them down. Or if the Russians attack a delivery to Ukraine outside Ukraine then the west can attack the shipments on Route to Russia from Iran.

Some have been saying the exact same thing about America being willing to wage its war to the last Ukrainian soldier. “America providing Ukraine with weapons will only prolong the war”

Another home goal for Russia.

 

Russian tower block in flames after deadly warplane crash

A military aircraft has crashed in a residential area of the southern Russian town of Yeysk, killing at least four people and injuring up to 25.

An apartment block was set on fire and emergency services called in. A nearby school was evacuated, reports say.

Russia's Investigative Committee said it had opened a criminal case and sent investigators to the site of the crash, without giving any reasons.

Retaking Kherson City Is Critical

 

Ukraine is continuing to press forward in its Kherson Oblast counteroffensive, a senior U.S. military official told reporters, including from The War Zone, Monday.

 

“We continue to see deliberate and calibrated operations by the Ukrainians to move forward but have no major updates provided in terms of territory taken back,” said the senior U.S. military official, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “We do assess that Russian forces continue to reinforce their defensive lines against Ukrainian forces.”

 

When asked by The War Zone if Kherson City could fall this week, the official deferred questions to the Ukrainian military.

 

For Ukraine, capturing that city will be critical, but so too will be establishing a bridgehead across the Dnipro River, according to ISW.
