The governor of Ukraine's northwestern Rivne region said Russian forces had carried out a rocket strike on an oil depot in the region on Monday. In a short video address posted online, governor Vitaliy Koval said emergency services were at the scene, but did not give further details.

Earlier on Monday, Ukrainian forces had seized back full control of Irpin, a town near capital Kyiv, which has been one of the main hotspots of fighting with Russian troops, the mayor said on Monday.

The United States assessed that Ukrainian forces have also retaken the town of Trostyanets, south of Sumy, from Russian forces, a senior US defense official said on Monday. "The Ukrainians are continuing to try to take back ground," the official told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Anonymous source gives US assessment.

But

""We have good news today - Irpin has been liberated," Mayor Oleksandr Markushyn said in a video post on Telegram. "We understand that there will be more attacks on our town and we will defend it courageously."

The outskirts of the Ukrainian coastal city Mariupol are under complete control of pro-Russian forces, a representative for the separatist People's Militia of the Donetsk People's Republic Eduard Basurin claimed on Monday, according to Russian state media outlet RIA.

Nearly 5,000 people have been killed in Mariupol since Russian forces laid siege to it, a spokesperson for the city mayor said on Monday. The spokesperson quoted data from the mayor's office that said about 90% of buildings in Mariupol had been damaged and about 40% had been destroyed."

Can't accurately tell who is lying and who is truthing, but there is a principle expounded in Kaballa that even a bold-faced lie has to have an element of truth to be believable. So truths and lies are mixed together here, it will take time to sort them all out.

“If ukraine can defeat Russia, we shouldn’t be paying for nato”

That statement could cause Globalist heads to explode.

There should be no "if" part of this. We should not be paying for NATO, period - we pay, Europe benefits.

You're just not that bright, dude.

Just like you didn't see the potential of Trump back during the FR primary wars of 2015-2016 [making several snide comments about him, BTW], you're misreading what's going on here.

I'm rarely wrong about these things, FYI.

I was on board with Trump in December 2015, and fought hard here on FR all during the primaries against all the naysayers like you.

I was talking to the other dude, not you, BobL.

Just included you in the response because he seemed to feel it was necessary to include you in his initial windowlicker taunt on this thread.

Hooray for you.. And your snooping. Many of us had their doubts about Trump and his trash talking, but we came around when we saw his actions were more important than his words and became full on supporters. It’s called critical thinking - when we encounter new information, we adjust our assessments. What do you do?

I wasn't fooled by the horseplop about Trump on the TeeVee - because I haven't had one in my house since 2004.

That's why I'm not fooled by the horseplop about Saint Zel and the Yoo-crane, either - no TeeVee to whisper in my ear.

Thanks, I figured as much. Nice research on him being a Deep Stater (why else not support Trump?). I was hooked on Trump the moment I saw the reaction of the other Republicans running. Literally, NONE OF THEM, would acknowledge that we had a serious problem - instead, they all attacked Trump, literally embarrassed to be in the same political party.

We should have withdrawn for NATO the day after the USSR collapsed. Europe should be left to handle their own problems.

Exactly.

They're STILL trying to get rid of Trump to this day.

Wonder which Assistant Democrat they'll try to foist on us in 2024?

That’s what I thought- no thinking involved, just hind brain, ape-like instinctive fear and fight or flight reflex.

Give that man a banana.
