If this was a Russian capturing two Ukrainians, they’d be dead.
Russia’s latest anti-drone innovation didn’t last very long.

Russia’s apparent strategy is to flood the zone with these Frankencars plus whatever assortment of other transportation they can scrounge up. If they lose 90% of them, it’s OK as long as a few manage to secure positions.

This article claims Ramzan Kadyrov and his clan are on the ropes in Chechnya, that his aura of invincibility and ruthlessness has been replaced by an image of TikTok warriors and that Putin is tired of him.
I’ll believe when I see it.
This is reported to be in Altai Krai, which borders Kazakhstan. The warehouse are said to contain construction materials.

If Trump does this, look up in the sky because you will see flying pigs.

"And so for Trump, if he comes to Kyiv and says something like 'I’m Ukrainian' or 'We express solidarity with you, we are on your side, you’re fighting for the right cause,' he will go down in history as a person who might eclipse even Kennedy and Reagan," he said.

The flaw with using buses at the front is that they have to stop at all railroad crossings.
x Russians are using for the meat waves golf carts, E-scooters and busses. The lack of armored vehicles of the Russian army lays bare to all of us. The level of destruction of Russian human material will escalate more and more.
