I don’t know if I should ping my list or not... Anyway, here is a bunch of Ukraine/Russia news, today and yesterday. When will this madness end? The Ukros are determined to get every man in Ukraine slaughtered. Horrible.
A new enemy drone attack on the Crimea was repulsed last night.
Over the peninsula, nine UAVs were destroyed at once: six were shot down by air defense forces, three were landed by electronic warfare.

According to Russian military correspondents, on the Dnieper front in the Kherson region, increased activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is recorded after a drop in the water level.
Today, early in the morning, four boats and up to 40 people of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to land on the left bank of the Dnieper near Gola Pristan. One boat was sunk, three others withdrew along with the landing force.

The Kiev regime continues to insist that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not conducting a counteroffensive, but only “testing” the Russian defense with the task of “maximizing the destruction of Russians.”
Such reports are apparently calculated on the fact that the West will turn a blind eye to the columns of its military equipment that did not pass the crash test, and the Ukrainians will silently swallow the fact of thousands of killed compatriots.

“The US, Ukraine’s biggest supplier of military aid, is mostly tapped out on money and guns. On Friday, the Biden administration announced a $2.1 billion military aid package...but the weapons...need to be ordered from industry and may not end up in Ukrainian hands for months.”

Seems like Zelensky is overdue for the “Ceaucescu treatment”. Perhaps the Ukranians — ordinary Ukranians who want nothing to do with the current madness — are already organizing behind the scenes to administer it?
