This has always been the big hope to get Putin killed. You can’t hide 30k dead soldiers for long. And it happened so so fast too.
Fellow Ukraine war addicts, this is too long to paste it all here, but this is an excellent summary of where we are at now and worth a read.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is inflicting unspeakable suffering on Ukrainians and demanding horrible sacrifices of his own people in an effort to seize a city that does not merit the cost, even for him. The Russian invasion of Ukraine that aimed to
I fear it's going to have to be Democratic leadership (aka FDR) again.
Because the GOP is going to go full potato on this if they win back Congress.
Yep. Same with some air strikes. Why is Russia the only one who gets to gaslight. Let’s gas light the **** out of Russia.
$$$ > Democracy
Far too many Western politicians are compromised. In America, it seems it's predominantly the Republican party, but it's a problem that spans any ideological bounds. It's all about money and power and abandoning principles for those.

Worth noting:
AND:
How do you find some of these things? I'm not questioning your effort here but some of these sources look very unreliable. Tweets from people who don't have any likes or the blue checkmark.
They are certainly giving North Korea a major run for their money.
Russia passed North Korea down the backstretch February 24th.

This seems straight out of WW1. Whoever throws the most accurate grenade wins. Harrowing…
Sources told Reuters that Turkey’s talks this week with Sweden and Finland over their NATO bids did not make much progress towards lifting Ankara’s objection to the two Nordic nations joining the military alliance.
Delegations from Sweden and Norway headed home from Ankara with a list of Turkey’s concerns, and at this point, it’s not clear when the next round of talks will be. "It is not an easy process," a Turkish official told Reuters. "They need to take concrete steps that will be difficult. Further negotiations will continue. But a date doesn’t seem very close."

In order for the two Nordic nations to join NATO, they need the approval of all 30 of the alliance’s members. Turkey has objected to Sweden and Finland’s potential membership over claims that they support the PKK, a Kurdish militant group Ankara considers a terrorist organization. Ankara also wants the two countries to lift sanctions they imposed on Turkey in 2019.
US and NATO officials have tried to downplay Turkey’s opposition, but Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Friday that the concerns must be taken seriously.
"An approach of 'we’ll convince Turkey in time anyway, we are friends and allies’ would not be correct," he said. "These countries need to take concrete steps."

And something to lighten the mood…sound up for some cheesy Ukrainian Richard Marxesque tunes.
Damn. He threw 2 of their grenades back at them. RIP stud.
In this case The Mirror is an actual tabloid. (Remember you were warned FWIW

The Putin rumor has been around for awhile and it was mostly for entertainment purposes hence the smiling face that he has a replacement.
To be fair, we are probably unknowingly posting Ukraine propaganda too but I try to post stuff that makes sense.
I think these days it is also whoever has the more accurate drone!

I know and, again, I appreciate yours and others leg work on this. I come here for tons of info on the war.
I just hope I am not like 90% Ukraine propaganada. I seriously despise everything Russia other than the citizens that are putting their lives on the line to protest. I just want to make sure I regurgitate truth which is ultimately on me
Is Piorun better than Stinger?
Piorun can destroy targets flying at 10 to 4,000 meters in altitude and from as far away as 6,500 meters. The numbers are better than the American Stinger and comparable to the newest Russian fourth generation 9K333 Verba.Mar

"The Armed Forces #Ukraine launched a successful counterattack in the south of Kryvyi Rih. 63 Russian invaders were killed and 19 units were destroyed, including the modern T-72 tanks, Grad-21, Helos and one SU-35 fighter. - head of OVA Alexander Vilkul."

Looks like crisis of first days of Popasna breakthough passed, UKR troops got reinforcements and more 155 mm barrels, so in last two days we have seen Russian advance stalled. Initially they tried to attack from Popasna in several directions simultainously. In more critical night (two days ago, as I recall) Russians could reach the Bakhmut - Lysychansk road and set two chekpoints there with 50 men (likely VDV company). But at the morning UKR troops after artillery strike counter-attacked and pushed Russians away from the road, clearing the road again, though, Russians could shell it anyway.
Yesterday UKR troops pushed Russians further from the road. Also, reportedly they recaptured Komyshuvakha village north from Popasna, which partially was captured by Russians in previous days.
On this directions Russians already have a lack of manpower, throwing in the battle elements of 6th cossack motor-rifle regiment of LPR (regular unit) and probably LPR conscripts. During one attack cossacks lost almost all company.
More northward LPR forces advanced from Toshkivka toward Ustynivka on 1,5 km. But Toshkivka still an arena of heavy clashes - today UKR froces again restored own positions in the part of this village, lost in previous day.
In Siverodonetsk Russians rejected from mass attacks, which cost them many personnel and involved special units, in particular Kadyrov's troops. Two days ago they could seize "Myr" hotel and bus station area on the NE outskirt of the city, all attempts of UKR troops to push them off were unsuccessfull, but enemy's attempts to avdance further inside the city also failed.
Looks like Russians "plan D" to make a pocket between Siverodonetsk and Bakhmut is also failing so, Russians can claim "plan E" victory - to make three little pockets - Avdiivka, Zolote and Siverodonetsk

With those harpoons, Ukraine should start with the “pirate” vessel in Mariupol stealing scrap metal. Send a signal that pirates are targets.
Then, hit the biggest baddest vessel in Sevastopol. Don’t stop until they open the shipping lanes.
