27 April, Slavyansk-na-Kubani, Russia - local oil refinery halts operations due to UAV attack. Russian sources mention at least 10 unidentified UAVs slamming into the facility. Most likely serious damage.
You know, when I read stories on Ukraine in my newsfeed, it’s all doom and gloom about how Ukraine is losing the war. I wish I had a much better picture of what’s really going on.
Our news media has absurdly poor coverage of the war considering its long term implications for democracy.

It is heartbreaking, the rape of Ukraine, but Russia has shown what a failure of a country it is under Putin.

@Bix thanks
“ Public meetings between officials from Russia, Belarus, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Iran, and North Korea have surged in recent days, with at least 10 high-level bilateral meetings between April 22 and 26, underscoring the deepening multilateral partnership these states are constructing to confront the West”
If everyone would just understood that Ukraine is now the proxy war between the West and Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.

#PutinIsaWarCriminal should be in The Hague. Also, he is killing Russia's men.
Pekka Kallioniemi:
Imagine killing/wounding 450 000 of your own countrymen just to try and create a legacy and name for yourself as a conqueror.
There is no way that any of the temporarily occupied territories in Ukraine will ever bow down to Putin. The Kremlin can only lose in this senseless war.
Interestingly, Bonaparte's losses numbered in the hundreds of thousands by the end of his quest to create an Empire, and it didn’t end well for him. Here’s hoping history repeats itself.

He has destroyed his country,
its industry and
male population base.
Yes, and I understand the entire Russian economy is now war based. He can’t afford to win or lose the war in Ukraine.
@Bix
Yes, exactly: if the Russian coalition comprising China, Iran, Belarus, North Korea etc wins in Ukraine, they are not stopping there. They’ll pick off the European countries starting with old Soviet Satellites.
It’s going to be ongoing war an Western instability until the U.S. is left with few allies.
People need to understand the bigger picture.
