Ukrainian forces downed a Russian Su-25 ground attack aircraft on Friday, according to the country's Khortytsia group of forces operating in the eastern Donetsk region.

The aircraft was shot down by anti-aircraft guns from the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade as it attacked Ukrainian frontline positions near the town of Pokrovsk, the forces' statement posted on Telegram said.

The Soviet-designed Sukhoi armored aircraft has been used extensively by both sides since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022.

This must be a remarkable thing. I would have thought it would be fairly unremarkable considering the countries are at war.

Wow. One plane shot down. Imagine, for a moment, if we had this level of coverage during ww2.

Probably AA guns like the one at the top of this photo:

Your Biden gave your Putin the green light to invade Ukraine in a “minor incursion” and your Putin and his crappy military screwed up the whole deal.

Your Putin is scared of President Trump.

Trump-Russia Flashback:

The Trump administration just confirmed the US military killed ‘hundreds’ of Russians in lopsided fight in Syria

The February battle was reportedly incredibly one-sided, as a massive column of mostly-Russian pro-Syrian regime forces approached an established US position in Syria and fired on the location.

The US responded with a massive wave of airstrikes that crippled the force before it could retreat, and then cleaned up the remaining combatants with strafing runs from Apache helicopters.

I don't know if the story is true because it's from the Ministry of Defense in the Ukraine, and they've been lying to the world so much. It could be true, but ultimately it doesn't matter.

The Ukraine is losing the war and Zelensky is now open to negotiating with Russia. Russia has previously said it will no longer negotiate with Zelensky as Z's term in office expired and Z cancelled elections; Putin has said Z is not the legitimate leader of the Ukraine.

My notes on a few key portions of the article "War in Ukraine: Zelensky wants Russia to take part in a new peace summit"

I'm posting a few notes about an article in Le Monde, because the French publication does not permit partial reproduction of an article.

Title:

Date: July 17, 2024

Written by: Emmanuel Grynszpan

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/07/17/war-in-ukraine-zelensky-wants-russia-to-take-part-in-a-new-peace-summit_6687222_4.html

1. Zelensky has opened the door to direct negotiations with Moscow without making the departure of Russian occupying forces a pre-condition.

2. The first peace summit since talks broke down in Spring of 2022 included 100 countries meeting in Switzerland. Russia was not invited. That summit ended with a timid declarations, which did not include an appeal to Russia to halt its invasion, was signed by 80 countries.

3. Zelensky outlined a new plan on Monday which does not include talk of a ceasefire but identifies three areas of work: Energy security, Black Sea shipping (re Ukrainian exports), and prisoner exchanges.

Ukraine and Russia are like an old ex married couple after a long divorce. But, they are still one and the same as before, Ukes are just the gypsy ex relative now. You know, count your rings if you shake their hand.
