The site began life as a database of Ukrainian regular and volunteer units, but over the years it has grown to cover a whole range of topics.
Ukrainian Ground Forces received a well-worth additional strength in the form of a new tank brigade. Demobilized, reactivated, used as replenishment and reactivated again. That’s the story of Ukrainian 5th Tank Brigade through the last years. The unit was formed back in 2016 as a reserve tank brigade, but was subsequently demobilized and reactivated only after the Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022.
However, due to fierce fighting on many fronts during the first months and the losses in other combat brigades, tanks and manpower were used as replenishment and the path of 5th Tank Brigade seemed to be over.
In March 2023, first hints appeared that Ukrainian Command has decided to reactive 5th Tank Brigade again, possibly due to large influx of Western-donated tanks and successful tank restoration process abroad. The brigade is rumored to receive Western-donated Leopard 1A5 or M1A1 Abrams tanks. If that’s the case or not, we have to wait and see.

Ukraine’s Defence Forces will continue to strike Russian-occupied Crimea and the Crimean Bridge, as this is necessary to disrupt Russian logistics.
SOURCE: Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov in an interview with СNN
QUOTE: “All these targets are official targets because it [strikes on them - ed.] will reduce their capacity to fight against us (and) will help to save the lives of Ukrainians.”
“It’s normal tactics to ruin the logistic lines of your enemy to stop the options to get more ammunition, to get more fuel, to get more food, etcetera. That’s why we will use these tactics against them.”
BACKGROUND:
-President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the Crimean Bridge is a legitimate target for Ukraine because the Russian invaders use it to transport weapons.
-Oleksii Reznikov, Defence Minister of Ukraine, believes that Ukraine will win the war by next summer and could be admitted into NATO in July 2024.
“Ha ha ha”

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred sixteenth day of the war.
Day 516: Jul 24
Today there is a lot of important news.
First of all, today, Russian strikes reached the border with Romania. In an attempt to destroy the last operational Ukrainian harbors, Russian Air Force decided to risk it and target the infrastructure located just 200 meters from Romania.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used this harbor for launching marine reconnaissance and kamikaze drones into the Black Sea to conduct terrorist attacks, from where these drones attacked the Russian fleet in Sevastopol and the Kerch Bridge.
Ukrainian Air Force finally made a direct response to the strikes on the Odesa region and conducted a drone strike on the building of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow. At least one drone successfully hit the target.
But the biggest strikes once again happened in Crimea. Today Ukrainian Air Force blew up already the third major ammunition depot. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukrainians used 17 drones. While the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that all drones were shot down, it turned out that Ukrainians destroyed 3 hangars with ammunition on the airfield near Vilne and also a maintenance depot in Novostepove.
Russian analysts once again claimed that, in reality, Ukrainians used Storm Shadow missiles to destroy the targets, it’s just that the Russian Ministry of Defense doesn’t want to admit that Ukrainians ignored their threats of drastic measures if western weapons are used on the peninsula.
Ukrainians also conducted a series of strikes on the mainland. The first target became Tokmak, the second target was Donetsk, and the third target was Makiivka. Geolocated footage shows fire in Donetsk and Makiivka.
If we add to the map previous strikes on the Chonhar and Kerch bridges, and other 2 ammunition depots in Crimea, and continuous strikes on Mariupol, Berdyansk, Melitopol, Tokmak, and nearby towns, we can see that just like during the lengthy Kherson counteroffensive last year, Ukrainians are crippling the Russian logistics, and therefore, gradually undermining the Russian defense. Russian soldiers report that the level of artillery fire on the zero line is also increasing.
In order to ruin Ukrainian plans, Russian forces tried to launch several offensive operations in the Luhansk region. By pushing from the opposite end, Russian forces are trying to force Ukrainians to relocate their artillery systems away from Zaporizhzhia and also redeploy their infantry, decreasing Ukrainian offensive capabilities.
The first attempt happened near Kupiansk. Here, Russian forces made a big push with the goal of completely clearing the forest and establishing a bridgehead on the other side of the river. They managed to advance through the forest and even cross the river, however, those Russians that tried to hold the bridgehead were eventually eliminated with artillery fire, and the breakthrough was localized and stifled.
The second attempt happened near Kreminna. Russian forces launched an attack through the fields towards Torske and even managed to get to the outskirts of the town, however, just like 6 exactly the same attacks that they conducted since winter, Russian forces were undercut from the south because Ukrainians control most of the forest.
The third attempt happened near Novoselivske. Here, their main goal was to take this settlement because it is located on the hill and pave the way for further advances. After sustaining high losses, Russians decided to change their tactic and engulf the settlement by advancing through the fields, but it was a bad idea, and the breakthrough was once again localized.
The last attempt happened near Karmazynivka, and so far, it is the most successful one. Russians gradually established control over the forests and penetrated the defense line by around 4 km. Yesterday, Russian forces reportedly opened another axis of advance from Raihorodka, however, today, it was reported that Russian did not gain any ground, and the situation started to stabilize here as well. The Spokesman for the Eastern Group of Forces reported that despite the fact that Russians have concentrated up to 100 thousand troops in the Luhansk region, so far, the fighters here managed to localize all attempts to collapse the front line and force Ukrainians to distract themselves from the counteroffensive operation in the south.

In total, 9 enemy targets were hit by accurate fire in a short period of time. In addition to electronic warfare systems, artillery guns and enemy armoured vehicles were also destroyed.”

I will do what I want to do and you can do what you want to do.
I translated it as “war is fantastic” and said only a psycho would say something like that and was told I was the only one using the word “fantastic.”
So which is it? A typo or was somebody lying?
You missed the humor in Covfefe.
What is really weird though is how you twisted “Fantastic news for Ukraine” into “war is fantastic”, only a psycho would do that.
You are going to feel so foolish when you realize how many lies about the Ukraine that you have fallen for.
German mercenary of the Armed Forces of Ukraine spoke about the torture of Russian prisoners of war Jonas Kratzenberg, who fought for several months in the ranks of Ukrainian troops, described the torture Ukrainian soldiers subjected to Russian prisoners of war, and how he witnessed the execution of three of them.You Tube: Torture of Russian prisoners of war“It was the most common thing to pose for pictures with them, humiliate them, put a gun to their chest, and make them shout Nazi slogans, it was the norm. Also beating prisoners just "because". One was beaten, put on his knees and forced to beg for his life, and then stabbed in the thigh,” said the soldier of fortune. He also shared the story of how the Ukronazis took three prisoners and took them into the forest. Kratzenberg heard shots from there, after which the militants returned without prisoners.
