A video appears to show a lone Ukrainian soldier fending off 10 Russian soldiers in close-quarter trench battle

There is actually a video of this battle on X. The lone Ukrainian soldier got help from a few drone, but he he did most of the fighting himself and walked away as a true hero.

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, publicly demanded an “explanation” from Germany, noting that the lack of one would be seen as an “admission of guilt.”

German military leaks that have put British troops at risk could be the tip of the iceberg, Berlin’s former intelligence chief warned on Monday night.

August Hanning said more Nato secrets may have been compromised after Russia intercepted and published a video call disclosing military information, telling Bild newspaper: “This leak could have been just the tip of the iceberg.”

On Monday, sources claimed that Russia had identified Germany as the “weakest link” in Nato and was using Olaf Scholz as a “useful idiot”.

The German chancellor was under major pressure on Monday after the German air force accidentally leaked details of British “troops on the ground” in Ukraine in an unsecure video conference call.

 

Meanwhile, security experts warned that Britain was not ready for a “high-casualty scenario” if a wider conflict broke out in Europe.

Experts from the Rusi think tank said contingency plans were “ill-suited” to dealing with returning injured soldiers and the possibility of attacks closer to British soil.

... and another russki warship sent to the bottom ... keep up the good work!

 

 

CNN — Ukraine’s military on Tuesday claimed another successful attack on a Russian warship, marking the latest in a string of naval defeats for Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet that Kyiv says has reduced its numbers by more than a third since the start of the war.

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine said maritime drones operated by its Group 13 special unit struck and sank the 1,300-ton Russian patrol ship Sergei Kotov in the Black Sea, near the Kerch Strait that separates occupied Crimea from the coast of southwest Russia.

Not bad for a temporarily occupied country without a navy as such. 😂

Firmly committed to Ukraine, the Czech Republic likes to present itself as a bastion of agility and pragmatism. At a time when the European Union is struggling to supply the million rounds of large-caliber ammunition it had promised Kyiv, Petr Pavel, the country's president surprised everyone by announcing at the Munich Security Conference on February 17 that the country had "identified at this point 500,000 rounds of [NATO-standard] 155 mm caliber [shells] and another 300,000 rounds of [Soviet-standard] 122 mm caliber" shells around the world, all ready for purchase and immediate shipment to Ukraine.

It was also the first case of destruction of an aircraft by a sea drone.

Ukraine has been doing amazingly well considering the American maga fascists led by Trump, Johnson, Tucker, Greene, etc. have sided with the enemy Russia.

The vast majority of Americans want to send more military aid to Ukraine ASAP so it's particularly disgusting that these treasonous magas aren't even reflecting the will of the American people. 

These maga fascists are direct equivalents of the isolationist America First movement during WW2 led by Charles Lindbergh but that treasonous movement never came close to having a president or speaker of the house in their Nazi loving corner.

I would like to suggest the youtube channel of Jake Broe. While some may accuse it of being pro Ukrainian propaganda and he is very open about his bias, it remains a very compelling source of daily war updates, human interest items, political commentary, and also not shying away from reporting good news for Russia and bad news for Ukraine when it happens. He is politically conservative republican type of American but extremely anti-maga based on their batting for Putin.

 

While on the subject I also suggest:

I have been following Jake for a long time,he is pro Ukraine for sure but his reporting is

unbiased i think.

He only reports facts and ads his opinion to it.

It is important to find reliable, or as reliable sources from both sides, and see through the obvious necessary propaganda to keep the nations spirit up, and keep fighting. Ukraine soldiers and volunteers have everything to fight for,  their future, while russians fight for? Or against? 

 

It is many similarities to many other border conflicts around the world, as well fighting for their world position, markeds, influence in countries who oppose the western dominance and are willing to have a new world order. 

 

And unfortunate Putin seems to succeed, unless western countries answer the threat more efficient and effectively. The only question, are we (the west) willing to go far enough to stop this, and what is the consequences by doing to? What is the risk? 

 

As there is a fight for Europeen dominance, there is a fight for dominance in the middle east at the same time, and when the same starts in Asia (already an economic war), and south america, what then? 

 

It is a chess game with to many players, and to many moves that for each move create new problems and challenges

Britain 'prepared to loan Ukraine all frozen Russian central bank assets in UK'
Britain is prepared to loan Ukraine all frozen Russian central bank assets in the UK on the basis that Russia will be forced to pay reparations to Ukraine at the end of the war, the UK foreign secretary David Cameron has said.

He said the assets would be used as surety for the payment of the reparations. The plan is more radical than proposals discussed in the European Union for Ukraine to be given only the windfall profits from the Russian central bank assets being held by the West. The annual windfall profits are estimated at $4bn.
