Russia may be proud of its military history and seamen – but Vladimir Putin looks like he would have preferred to be anywhere else during the nation’s state naval display on Sunday.
The Russian president hardly cracked a smile at this morning’s Grand Naval Parade in St Petersburg, a showcasing of around 200 ships and boats all part of the various fleets stationed in Russia’s second city.
During the event, he was seen looking bored and unbothered as he sailed across the city’s water and into the dock while fireworks exploded around him.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has over the weekend continued to push on with drone attacks against targets located deep within Russian territory.
Recent blasts at an oil terminal in the eastern Kursk region are widely seen as taking something of the shine off today’s parade in St Petersburg, with Russia’s naval fleet in the Black Sea already rendered largely unoperational by repeat Ukrainian attacks.

Ukraine liberates 23 more children from Russian occupation

Ukraine has liberated 23 more children, including three orphans, from the temporarily occupied parts of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk oblasts. Ukrainian children were at risk of being deported while under Russian occupation
SOURCE: Save Ukraine charity
DETAILS:
Oleksandr Prokudin, the Head of Kherson Oblast State Administration, reports that eight of them have been brought back from the Russian-occupied part of Kherson Oblast. The children are now safe and receiving the necessary medical and psychological assistance.
The charity organisation noted that all of the children had gone through severe challenges.
In particular, an 18-year-old young man from the town of Enerhodar in Zaporizhzhia Oblast witnessed the Russians brutally beating his father, a former employee of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
As soon as the young man reached the age of majority, he risked being forcibly drafted into the Russian Armed Forces.
A 7-year-old girl and her mother have been freed and brought to Ukrainian-controlled territory. The mother chose to leave their home to save her daughter from attending classes promoting Russian propaganda.
“The woman used to work at a vocational school and refused to cooperate with the invaders several times. Fearing reprisals, she secretly sheltered orphans in student accommodation to protect them from being abducted by the Russian military,” Save Ukraine explained.
Teenage sisters aged 15 and 17 have also been brought back to Ukrainian-controlled territory. During the occupation, they lived in constant fear, unable to sleep peacefully due to even the slightest sounds. The charity reported that the girls endured three nighttime searches of their home by Russian forces and interrogations.
Russian forces used the family of the teenagers as a human shield by placing military equipment in their garden. They also seized the family’s belongings and threatened to separate the children from their parents.
The sisters lived in constant fear of becoming victims of sexual violence while in the occupied territories.
Another teenager who managed to escape the occupation was constantly summoned for interrogation by the officers of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB). He was also detained by the local “police” as he was considered a “criminal” for refusing to obtain a Russian passport.
“The ‘encouragement’ to study in Russian schools seems particularly cynical. The children told us that the Russians promised to pay 10,000 roubles [roughly US$116] to those who agreed to attend their schools.
This was at a time when a janitor began teaching maths and a former grocery store cashier took on the role of English teacher because most teachers refused to cooperate with the occupation authorities,” the charity said.
Save Ukraine reported that they have helped 446 Ukrainian children come back from the occupation and the Russian territory.
BACKGROUND:
Earlier, Ukraine liberated 12 children from the temporarily occupied territory, some of whom had been subjected to torture.
LOLOL good one:
“If those who are rooting for Ukraine (with its President Zelensky) are called Zeepers, shouldn’t those who are rooting for Russia (with its President Putin) be called Poopers?”
More drive by spamming in someone else’s thread mommy?
Too afraid of the incoming flak to start your own thread?
You got what you deserved.
“More drive by spamming in someone else’s thread mommy?”
No.You speak for yourself. :D
“If those who are rooting for Ukraine (with its President Zelensky) are called Zeepers, shouldn’t those who are rooting for Russia (with its President Putin) be called Poopers?”
Absolutely.
However, as tempting as it is, those against the invasion of Ukraine by Putin probably won’t stoop to that level.
There goes the lying REVEREND once again.
Show me ONE, just ONE propaganda thread I've posted or a propaganda comment I've slipped in another FReeper's threads.
This info should be easy for you to come up with since you're keeping a record of the posts of pro-America FReepers who disagree with your views.
Thanks UMCRM.
“There’s that spam smell again. Where the heck is that coming from?”
“Thanks UMCRevMom”
You are more than welcome. :)
“More drive by spamming in someone else’s thread mommy?”
As most all know, your reputation of critical, and insulting comments proceed you. Ask just about anyone.
>>>>As most all know, your reputation of critical, and insulting comments proceed you. Ask just about anyone.<<<<
You accused me of spamming other FReepers’ threads and obviously can’t cough up the proof so now you’re ducking the question. So typical of you mommy. And you wonder why people laugh when you claim you’re a REVEREND?
BTW, REVEREND Know-It-All, it’s “precedes”, not “proceeds”.
About Rostov-On-Don which is now a permanent submarine

“And you wonder why people laugh when you claim you’re a REVEREND?”
No. I am commended for my non-response to your attacks.
Actually, regarding your commenting both apply:
‘Precede’ means to come before ‘Proceed’ means to carry on or go forward.
>>>>“I believe there’s been a summoning.”<<<<
I don’t think she’ll get much of a response tonight. The zeeper monkeys are all passed out from the boxed wine, Old Crow and Bud Lite.
>>>>No. I am commended for my non-response to your attacks.<<<<
Non-response? You respond all the time. You can’t help yourself.
You live for ATTENTION.
>>>>Actually, regarding your commenting both apply:

You can’t stand being corrected. You always have to be one who is right.
Why is that?
