Ukraine destroyed a Russian tanker that Moscow used for surveillance and for deploying first-person-view (FPV) drones in southern Ukraine, according to Kyiv's military.
Ukraine's air force conducted a "successful strike" on the Russian-flagged Mechanik Pogodin on Tuesday, Kyiv's navy said in a statement.
Ukraine said Russia's military was using the vessel as a command center, with the ship serving to launch FPV drones and to carry electronic warfare (EW) equipment. Kyiv said the use of the vessel for surveillance and control made the tanker a legitimate military target.
A brief video posted by Ukraine's armed forces appeared to show the moment of the strike on the tanker. The clip shows a large explosion on one end of the ship, and a dark cloud of smoke billowing up from the vessel. Pieces of debris can be seen crashing into the water surrounding the ship. Newsweek could not independently verify the footage.
"Thanks to the pilots for the successful combat work against the enemy control point!" Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Air Force, said in a statement.

To be fair, he’s not allowed to talk to me or about me.
But lists. Wow…how middle school. Or dictatorial.
“Gospel does NOT mean ‘good words.’
Hope this helps.
Etymology
‘Gospel is the Old English translation of the Hellenistic Greek term εὐαγγέλιον, meaning “good news”; from analysis of ευαγγέλιον (εὖ “good” + ἄγγελος “messenger” + -ιον diminutive suffix). In the Vulgate, the Greek term in Latin became as evangelium in the Vulgate, and translated into Latin as bona annuntiatio.”
The significance of Gospel “Good news”: means a gift from God. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the biblical authors adopted the term and gave it a multifaceted significance that is fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
It became God’s “good news,” for the gospel is the “gospel of God.”) All four Gospels, in their records of the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus, explain that Jesus did not return to heaven before giving His followers a mission. Until His return, He told them, the church is to go forth and preach the gospel to all nations, telling people about Him, calling them to repentance and faith, and discipling them in everything that He taught (Matt. 28:18–20; Mark 16:15–16; Luke 24:45–47; John 21:15–19).
2 Corinthians 4-6
“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
For we do NOT preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake.
For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”

This is a disgusting smear and a lie. I have never been pro-Russia. I just dislike both sides. I have always advocated for the USA to stay out and for peace negotiations. You people are really getting low.
I am simply glad people are reading my posts....
Also, I’ve never been on a blacklist before (even if its a pathetic zeeper one). How exciting!
Well, Rev, have you received a mission to go forth and spread the gospel of The Ukraine Project to the entire world? I’m OK with that but I’m NOT OK WITH GIVING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS’ MONEY TO THE UKRAINE PROJECT.

Mommy is an expert in Biblical hermeneutics, world affairs, politics, military strategy and psychology.
Aren’t we lucky to have her sharing her vast knowledge and superior intellect with us?
As always, thank you for being your dependable “HOLIER THAN THOU” self.
PONDER THIS
There does NOT EXIST a Gospel of Ukraine or for Russia.
CORRECTED:
Rev, have you received a mission to go forth and spread the GOSPEL [NOT “GOOD WORDS”] to the entire world?
Believers in Jesus, the Son of God, engage in the same ministry & share the same mission statement:
Matthew 28:19-20
New American Standard Bible
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
True.
Liberals that engage in supporting communism & Putin reveal their thin-skin
It is a smear and a lie. They do this all the time. They accuse those of us who are opposed to our tax dollars going unaudited to a known money-laundering operation of being “pro-Putin,” “pro-Russia” and other such filthy lies, even though we do not express any support for either side.
Jim has even told them not to do that, but these trolls just ignore his request.
“We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a “Putinista”, “comrade”, “murderer”, “baby-killer”, etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.” - Jim Robinson

“Today, Russia launched a weak false flag attack on the breakaway region of Moldova known as Transnistria. Russia staged an abandoned helicopter on an empty runway and setup camera to record a fake drone attack to blame it on Ukraine. The plot has been exposed by geolocation and video evidence; leaving Russia embarrassed yet again. We also learn of a major Ukrainian drone attack on the Domodedovo Airport in Moscow, leaving it heavily damaged.
Also, Ukraine has attacked yet another Russian oil refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban with a UAV attack. Finally, French President Emmanuel Macron has announced his new plan to potential send “combat” troops to Ukraine; a departuree from his recent statements that he would only consider sending support troops.”
