Russians are doing the same goodwill gesture preparations in occupied southern Kherson region, too. Popcorn time.
you do realize that the attackers lose more people than defenders?
Kiev was labeled as terrorist. That ship has sailed.
Bulwyf was labled a Pootie Boy. That ship has sailed.
General Mizintsev is now a commander in the PMC.
