The BMP gets blown up, then the crew is taken out.

x One example of the lethality of the AFU:

It’s always satisfying to see a Russian air defense system blown up by a slow-moving drone.

Video came out today of that crash of the IL-76 transport plane in Mali carrying Wagner personnel.

For a 14-year-old this kid has guts. Interesting that he is said to be a right-winger and also an eco-activist.

x Law enforcers broke into the apartment of 14-year-old Russian far-right activist Yegor Davydov. The boy was taken to a psychiatric hospital because of his comments about Ramzan Kadyrov's son.

Egor Davydov is 14 years old and a supporter of far-right views. The boy became famous, performing as an eco-activist at rallies in defense of Troitsky and Bitsevsky forests. Last year he was tortured at the Troitsk police department. On Tuesday evening, a SOBR squad (Russian Special Rapid Response Unit) with batons and stun guns broke into the apartment where Davydov lives with his mother and grandmother. The police informed his family: Yegor is being summoned to the police because he demanded in social networks that Kadyrov's son be held accountable. The day before, Ramzan Kadyrov published a video of his son Adam beating Nikita Zhuravel, accused of burning the Quran.Yegor offered the SOBR officers who broke into his apartment to go together to "the Chechen prostitute Kadyrov". When the law enforcers demanded that they do everything "in normal way", the boy replied: "No, we can't do it in the normal way!"Together with his 10-year-old and 14-year-old friends, Yegor blocked the door to the SOBR officers for half an hour, urging them to get out of his apartment. Having broken through the defense, the law enforcers detained Yegor and took him to a psychiatric hospital for examination. Also, his apartment was searched. Xxx

He’s going to need help after the war as much as he needs it now.

x .@RomanTrokhymets shared a video some moments ago. He is actually dealing with what I believe to be PTSD. I think he would like to receive some support from you, if you have some minutes...🙏

I don’t know if this is true, but It’s an interesting strategy if it is. Imagine being assigned the job of defending Tokmak knowing your superiors are ready to surrender it.

Russia has no business governing Kaliningrad just as it has no business keeping the Kuril Islands. Both were seized and annexed at the end of WWII.

x Good bye Kalinin!



Estonia is to join Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland in officially dropping the soviet name of Kaliningrad.



The semi-exclave and city should instead be known as Königsberg, says the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Estonian Parliament led by @markomihkelson.

The soviets named it after the war criminal Mikhail Kalinin who signed off on the Katyn massacre. Kalinin was a sidekick to Stalin who even left his own wife to be tortured and sent for hard labour at his boss’s order. Khrushchev said Kalinin rarely did any actual work.

He’s running out of excuses.

And while Germany plans to cut funding for Ukrainian refugees, Ireland is increasing aid.

x The Irish government will allocate an additional €1 billion to accommodate Ukrainian refugees. The state pays for housing for over 70,000 Ukrainians. https://t.co/6aRpdBVX15 — NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) September 27, 2023

And eventually Ukraine will have its own F-35s.

x What a week!



Czechia announced today that they are buying 24 F-35 fighter jets from USA



Yesterday, Romania announced they are buying 48



Poland has earlier bought 32 while Finland signed a deal in February to buy 64



156 F-35s to fly along Russia's borders in the coming years! pic.twitter.com/ceW0yoWnlj — Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) September 27, 2023
