A Ukrainian drone takes out a radar that is supposed to track drones in real time.
x Oh, those poor Russian fighters bravely filming their epic UAZ adventures! In the first video, Ukrainian FPV drones gave them a nice little concussion hug—how sweet. But the second one? One guy’s backside turned into a flaming BBQ special. Ouch! Full on Telegram: t.me/wartranslate...

If only these Russians had the armored scooters they might have survived.
Something got blown up in Simferopol in Crimea.
x 🚨 Explosions and fire reported in occupied Simferopol, Marino district. Witnesses report loud blasts and massive smoke near the university. Emergency services are on-site.

Running like hell doesn’t work either.
x A lack of formal military training of ChMobiki (look close at their helmets) has lead to the widespread misperception among them that if they stand still while wearing a thermal poncho, then AFU FPV UAVs will not detect you in broad daylight. #OSINT #Russia #UkraineWar

Trump and Musk do their buddy Putin a solid.
x Trump has shut down Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, ending 80 years of independent journalism. These media outlets fought censorship, exposed authoritarian regimes, and provided a free press where none existed. This is a major loss for democracy and global reporting.

And look who signed the death warrant.
x 🚨I obtained the notice of termination for @RFERL grant that was sent this morning to management. Also, check out @KariLake's title at the end of the letter: "Senior advisor to the acting CEO with authorities delegated by Acting CEO" 🚨

Another 1,400 losers, 10 tanks and 78 artillery systems
It was three years ago that Russia bombed a theater in Mariupol that was sheltering children. The word “children” was written in large letters so the Russians wouldn’t bomb it, but the Russians destroyed it anyway, killing an estimated 600.
x Kharkiv theaters have placed signs reading "Children" at their entrances to honor the victims of the Mariupol Drama Theater tragedy, where russian aerial bombs were dropped on the building—serving as a bomb shelter at the time, killing hundreds.

The trauma of this war is widespread and the victims do not always feel free to talk about it.
x This is an incredibly significant article that vividly exposes the horrors of russian occupation. I deeply admire these women's immense courage in sharing their stories. May they find their way to healing. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/w...

Meanwhile, in Serbia.
It may very well come to this in the U.S., so remember to bring protective gear such as ear plugs to marches.
x 🇷🇸⚠️ Yesterday in Belgrade, police dispersed a protest with the help of a non-lethal acoustic weapon (LRAD), according to various Serbian media. ❗️LRAD emits a narrowly directional sound signal of high volume up to 160+ dB, which causes earache, disorientation and discomfort.

What Ukraine needs is a giant can of Raid.
Lukashenko had referred to Zelenskyy as a louse.
x 🇺🇦 Ukraine’s MFA spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi claps back at Lukashenko, calling him a cockroach after his insult toward Zelensky. "Insulting Ukraine’s leader is unacceptable, especially from an accomplice in Russia’s aggression. And venturing into entomology won’t do the cockroach any good."

Do not try this at home. these men are professionals.
It appears to be business as usual on the streets of Tuapse despite the huge fireball burning for three days.
I almost never see this mentioned in stories about peace negotiations, but it should be non-negotiable: all kidnapped children must be returned.
x 1/ The abduction of Ukrainian children by russia is one of the most horrifying war crimes of this war. There are thousands of Ukrainian children taken by force — but we don’t even know the full number. We only know the confirmed cases, and that’s devastating enough. #UkrainianView
