Behind the Lines:
In many places, there is no water, electricity, or heating at all. For instance, in Makiivka, where there is no centralized water supply, the water is distributed in bottles. But this involves a risk; those wanting water must show a passport with registration. “Cases were recorded when men were summonsed while waiting in line for water. That is, the enemy uses the crisis in the region as a method of identifying men to replenish their army,”

Yesterday the UK Ministry of Defence posted this about #Ukraine :
Ukraine has liberated around 54% of the maximum amount of extra territory Russia seized since 24 Feb 2022.
Russia now controls around 18% of internationally recognised areas of Ukraine, including the Donbas and Crimea regions under Russian control since 2014.
@Dreamer9177 Time to change the handle I guess? 😃
The much touted “all-Russian” presidential limousine is a Frankenstein’s monster of haphazardly thrown together used parts from Mercedes, Volvo, Audi and Nissan, finds a repairs shop that a Russian newspaper talked to.
The only Russian made parts are door handles taken from an old Soviet “Jiguli” clunker and license plate brackets from another Soviet bucket of nuts.
2nd strongest military in the world? From someone who can’t make a decent vacuum cleaner? Ukraine proved otherwise.
@Dogofalltrees Most definitely!
@silent_dystopia According to a recent poll, 56% of Americans reading comprehension skills are below those of a 6 grader 😖

Putin said he’s changed his mind about using nukes only as a defensive measure and might introduce changes into Russia’s nuclear doctrine to include “preventive strikes” with the aim of disarming enemy states.
WILL SOMEONE FUCKING TOSS THIS FUCK OUT A WINDOW ALREADY???
@thedisasterautist Assange to war crimes is what Musk is to free speech
@Vonzales: The Soviet government behaving true to form, I see.
I keep waiting for Comrade Assange to leak Russian war crimes documents, but I reckon he's very busy collecting them and preparing to something something truth to power or something.
I was born in the USSR and grew up in an ex-soviet "republic". Want an honest opinion on communism from someone who's experienced it firsthand? Ask me.
