Russian forces have begun to move slightly in some areas, what possible to consider as the beginning of the next phase, but Ukrainian forces have decided not to wait, but, as always, to use a mobile defense strategy. Arestovych said he could not disclose secret military information, but if it will confirm 'pleasant' surprises might await Russian forces. Something interesting is happening, but it should remain under the fog of war for Ukraine’s sake.
Meanwhile, Kharkov is still under heavy shelling. (picture of The Odessa Journal, from slightly older event, but they are being attacked in the same way now). |
There was an incident in Kharkov yesterday, when firefighters and medics arrived after the rocket fire, and then the next attack began, which hit them. Completely inhumane, as if the Russian army had no honor and dignity at all.
After this war, there will certainly be no heroic songs about Putin.
5 civilians were killed and dozens more injured in a Russian shelling attack against Kharkiv today.

God bless the rescue worker who stayed with this injured woman, instead of taking cover indoors, when more shells started falling around them.

This city is constantly on fire, and it’s horrible. By the way, this is a city inhabited by a large number of Russians, who, because of such violence against them, turned away from the Russian world he was creating after the first airstrikes.
They used a variety of weapons there, including unconventional weapons, like cluster bombs. This lady on picture below, exactly carrying part of cluster bomb, what proves their war crimes.
Nothing special, just a random ukrainian lady, who works in communal service.

A slightly longer video about what is happening in Kharkov.

Moreover, after their retreat, the Russian army leaving gifts, mined surprises, improvised explosive devices (IED) for the Ukrainian population and children.
It will probably take months or even years to clear everything, where the authorities do not recommend going to the forests at all. Because the settlements will be cleaned in the first row and country is large, where is difficult to check everything enough fast.

Usually, many people and children getting killed from such surprises for many years after wars.
Assailants tied an RGD-5 grenade to the door of a local business in northeast Ukraine, presumably to intimidate the owners. This particular grenade was inert, but use of RGD-5s as IEDs is not uncommon in Ukraine. https://t.co/MhjPqdAx5a pic.twitter.com/jPz3DwtG7P

It is better not to touch even the dead people or soldiers without the deminers checking, because the standard practice of the Russian army is to mine the bodies.

At the beginning of the 1990s, when Lithuania was fighting for independence from the Soviet Union and I was 15 years old, I remember when I lied about my age, that I was 16 years old to join the forces of national defense volunteers. Which is why I think children or teenagers have right to defend their homeland, if they want to.
Why be a slave if you can fight, even if you are a child? As a former teen volunteer, I can understand these Ukrainian teenagers. At the time, I was a fan of Eastern martial arts and at the age of 16 I was already breaking red bricks by hand.
Children should not be involved in war, but sometimes this is inevitable and there have been many such cases in history.

Depending on the side you choose to believe, the ship was either hit by 2x R-360 "Neptun" ASMs, or suffered a catastrophic ammunition fire. You decide. pic.twitter.com/CTRNAKT9ES
Also, we can finally see at least some picture of the sunken cruiser "Moskva".

Ukraine is still begging for more tanks, armored vehicles and fighter jets. They are also needed to unblock the city of Mariupol, where hundreds of Buchas are probably waiting for us.
