War sucks.
"Ukraine's 30th Mechanized Brigade leaked another clip of Russian soldiers in the direction of Kupyansk, Kharkiv region: 3 Russian comrades in a hole. One comrade yawned, seemingly thinking his teammate's feet were his own."

It's probably been mentioned, but all these Russian officers seem to come straight from central casting of some pedophile mugshot scrapbook.

Ukraine’s War Effort Is Stuck. This Heroic Battlefield Failure Shows Why.
The deadly rout of elite Ukraine forces in last year’s counteroffensive against Russian invaders is a lesson in why the country’s war effort is stalled after nearly two years.

They are amazing. It makes action movies seem less believable when you see what relatively cheap drones can accomplish.
Side note, this footage is why I am increasingly believing the casualty counts reported by Ukraine. So much footage geo located. 1. 2. 4-5 at a time. It adds up.
Also, how much of this is sabotage, and how much of this is lack of critical equipment and staffing due to the war?
"Ukraine's forces slammed against stiff Russian defenses in southern Ukraine this summer, and ultimately, the counteroffensive failed. Unable to get the US onboard earlier, the move in a critical sector of southern Ukraine came a year later than when the country's top general first wanted to make it, a new book reports.
Had it come when he wanted, it might have reshaped the war, for better or worse."

Should have been done a year ago.
Agree but happy it's happening and he's done so much for Ukraine inspite of the GOP 🗑

LOL, watch a parade of Republican House and Senate members throw themselves on this legislation like a live grenade.
I haven't seen this before, but a Ukrainian Mig-29 pilot who went by the call sign Blue Helmet, has been killed in combat. 23 years old. Pretty damn young.

Republicans introduced this back in June but Dems shot it down.
The Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act was introduced on June 15 in both chambers. It would give the U.S. president the authority to confiscate Russian assets frozen in the United States and transfer them to help Ukraine.
Senator Jim Risch (Republican-Idaho), ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is a sponsor of the bill, which was originally introduced last year in the Senate but failed to gain support from Democrats. The bill now has the backing of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (Democrat-Rhode Island), who is co-sponsoring the bill in the Senate.

Build up Ukraine and make Russia pay for it would be a great campaign slogan.

Don't tell me about the labor pains, show me the baby.
What were the Democratic objections when this was brought up previously?
What are the nature of these ‘Russian’ assets. Are these funds that belong to the Russian government and were held here in trust in some way, or is this the seizing of assets of Russian companies, that were invested in some manner in the U.S.?
If the latter, the concern with legislation like this is you make America a less attractive place for international investment if the investors think Uncle Sam might turn on the actions of their government, and subsequently seize their assets.
In short, this legislation is an attack on the ‘rules based order‘ that says someone’s legally earned money is safe invested in the U.S.
Remain in Russia policy would work better.
Might make you dizzy.
