The Estonian Rescue Council has provided assistance to the dsns of Ukraine in equipment for mining territories
• Estonian colleagues handed over equipment and equipment to our rescuers, and also conducted training with SSNS specialists on its practical use.
• Support in difficult times is extremely important. She gives the strength to move forward, to Victory! We thank our Estonian colleagues for helping both word and deed!
Rescuers of Kharkiv region received new modern fire-rescue equipment
• At the end of last year Головне управління ДСНС України у Харківській області was purchased at the costs of the state budget 23 units of modern fire and rescue equipment. Tomorrow, she will be on combat duty in the units of the Kharkiv garrison of the SSNS and will help save human lives from the effects of enemy attacks, natural and technological emergencies.
• The basis of this car park is fire avtocisterni: 15 on the chassis “ DAEWOO Maximus “, 2 on the chassis “ Ford “ and 2 - “ Isuzu NQR “. All of these fire tank models differ from their obsolete counterparts by being able to produce more water, more powerful engines, and more efficient fire pumps. They are also already equipped with modern fire and emergency rescue equipment.
• In addition, rescuers received a special SARM-B heavy emergency rescue machine, which is intended to ensure rescue operations during the most complex tasks related to emergency elimination, 2 specialists Cíalʹní Emergency Rescue Machines Light Type Sarm-L. Also in the new year, the rescuers of Kharkiv region will help in the transportation of equipment and trucks of tractors on the “Ford” chassis.
Another dead 600 Russkies? Or was that 60...or 6?
Nice fire trucks our taxpayer dollars are supplying the Ukes.
Wish that money was being used to defend our Southern border.
About 1 in a kickback’s worth.
Indeed. What are the odds?
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Such a horrid and corrupt group of people.
No honor, dignity, or integrity.
7 Anti-War Street Artists Still Working Inside Russia
By Jane Aaron
1- From the very first day of the invasion of Ukraine, anti-war art has spilled onto the streets and squares of Russian cities. And, despite detentions and fines, for 10 months they have continued to protest against Russian militarism.
The Moscow Times picked seven of the most compelling anti-war artists and talked to some of them about their work and their lives. Vladimir Ovchinnikov at work. Vladimir
2- Art group Yav’s “Window onto Europe” Art group Yav / Instagram
The St. Petersburg experimental art group Yav (“reality”) was founded by Anastasia Vladychkina. “The motto of my life is ‘what does not kill me makes me stronger’,” she said.
Before February, members of Yav painted their murals on walls that many people could see, but after the war began they started to paint on abandoned buildings or fences — so there would be less chance of a fine.
One of their most recent works is called “A Window onto Europe” and was painted in an industrial district. This famous phrase was first used by Venetian poet Francesco Algarotti while traveling in Russia. Later, poet Alexander Pushkin used it in his poem “The Bronze Horseman.” Today St. Petersburg is still often called Russia’s “window onto Europe,” but in Yav’s work the window to the West is boarded up with concrete bricks splattered with blood.
3- Koin’s “Vladimir Solovyov”
The anonymous underground artist Koin started painting a series of horrific creatures when opposition leader Alexei Navalny was arrested in 2021. Since then, Koin has published devastating portraits of Russia’s politicians and elites on social media as grotesque vampires and monsters.
While not strictly speaking a “street” artist, his work is widely available online, particularly on social networks.
“Some time ago I stopped painting because I didn’t want to work on this horrific theme anymore, I didn’t want anything to do with dirty politics… But after Feb. 24 I started again, and now I just can’t stop. I was depressed and disappointed by the war and what people thought about it. I was disappointed in people. I don’t really know how to live with it. Maybe it sounds selfish, but I make art because it helps me. I release the toxic emotions that poison me — anger, rage, fear, disgust. I know that my work helps other people with that as well,” Koin told The Moscow Times.
4- Yelena Osipova
Yelena Osipova has been called “the conscience of St. Petersburg.” The 77-year-old pensioner has been protesting Putin’s regime for two decades. Although she has been fined and arrested many times, she won’t stop — even in wartime.
On the May 1 holiday, she took her latest work onto the city’s main street, Nevsky Prospekt. Her painting had the words “international solidarity,” “no war” and “21th century: wars kill humankind” on it.
Journalists Yelena Lukyanova and Alexei Dushutin from independent media outlet Novaya Gazeta had photographed her and were standing next to her when the police arrived. The journalists were sent to the police station, the police officers took Osipova home — and the painting was confiscated.
5- Ffchw’s “Only rain should fall from the sky”
Perm street artist Ffchw creates provocative street art about life in Russia. But sometimes the provocation is hardly provocative at all. On Dec. 24 he was detained while working on a new piece of street art called “See you…” written in different languages, including Ukrainian.
Ffchw’s favorite piece is called “Only rain should fall from the sky.”
“All of my artwork is done from the bottom of my heart, and I don’t regret anything,” he told The Moscow Times.
“After Feb. 24 I had to look for a new language for my statements. My art is divided into ‘before’ and ‘after.’ Now it is also accompanied by many emotions like guilt and fear over the horrific and catastrophic events that are taking place. I’m sure that art can change lives, but will it be able to change the regime? I don’t know.”
6- Vladimir Ovchinnikov
Vladimir Ovchinnikov, 85, is a well-known figure in Borovsk, a small town of 10,000 people not far from Moscow.
Ovchinnikov was fined 35,000 rubles ($475) earlier this year for a drawing of a little girl wearing the colors of the Ukrainian flag with three bombs falling onto one of the buildings in his town. Beneath her image he wrote: “STOP.”
The mural was painted over, but later Ovchinnikov painted a new piece on the same place — the word “bezumie” (“madness”) in Russian with the Latin letter Z — the Kremlin symbol of its “special military operation.”
7- Misha Marker
Misha Marker’s “Goes *****” Misha Marker / Instagram
The works of one of the most famous Russian street artists, Misha Marker, are painted over almost as soon as they appear on the streets of St. Petersburg. But that doesn’t stop him. Before the war, his work was shown in many galleries and museums, including the Russian Museum. Marker hides his face in public so that no one knows what he looks like — or his age.
In recent works, he uses five snowflake-like asterisks as a replacement for the Russian word for “war” (the word is forbidden under Russian law and people are supposed, instead, to use the phrase “special military operation.”)

Completely unrelated to the topic. But can you imagine the military response from our own feds if someone dared to make a water wheel in a stream?

“Nice fire trucks”
Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Kharkiv region purchased 23 units of modern fire and rescue equipment costing the Ukrainian state budget.
Wish the money received from the purchase of new fire equipment could be directed to build the wall to defend our Southern border.
