"Kyiv launches major attack on Crimea naval base using Western weapons
The early-morning attack in Crimea was carried out with weapons from Kyiv's allies - which were "extremely effective", a Ukrainian military source said. Meanwhile, the Russian foreign minister has said he hopes nuclear drills will "knock sense" into the West after jets were pledged."

The command doesn’t care about them at all - they are forced to hold their positions at any cost in a hellish meat grinder. From the nauseating smell, the soldiers cover themselves with masks and are forced to sit for days in a dugout where the corpses of their comrades decompose. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia#Putin

At 12 years old, Lera is learning to walk again. Last summer a Russian missile attack shattered one of her legs, and left the other badly burned.
Close to 2,000 children have been injured or killed in #Ukraine since Vladimir #Putin launched his full-scale invasion. But the war doesn’t always leave visible scars like those that run up Lera’s leg.
#Putin's arrogance and nerve are absolutely breathtaking. This dude goes and invades a sovereign nation without any sort of provocation, then he threatens the world with destruction if that nation strikes back. If he's so worried about escalation, he can pack up the murderers, rapists, and child abusers that make up his military, and go the fuck home. It's his actions that are responsible for the current situation.
Finance officials from the Group of Seven rich democracies said they had moved toward agreement on a U.S. proposal to squeeze more money for Ukraine from Russian assets frozen in their countries.

#Ukraine's soldiers talk of exhaustion, faith, personal loss and a perilous shortage of munitions as Russian forces take new ground. Reuters traveled along the front line, where Ukrainian troops say Vladimir #Putin must be beaten back. Otherwise, said one, "he’s not going to stop over here."
“They’re constantly firing, constantly probing,” he says. “We have to survive somehow and we have to hold the line.”
Does #Russia have sufficient economic capacity to pay the war damages to Ukraine?
just to demine the fields the expense will be ENORMOUS
there are entire cities to rebuild
(and not counting the murdered civilians who... have 'no price')

Russia is NOT able to pay war damages...
So ? what to do with Russia ?
Give a portion of Russia to #Ukraine to repay Her ?
Yes...
I heard too 'rumors' that #Kalinigrad would love to separate from the Russian 'udders'...
of course... a 'no man's zone' between #Russia and #Ukraine will be necessary #Putin created HATEs (that did not exist) that will now exist for decades.
But the question of war damage remains...
I don't see how it would be possible to avoid them...
#Putin grossly misrepresented the Ukrainian constitution and Ukrainian domestic law on May 28 in order to further promote the #Kremlin information operation claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky is no longer the legitimate president of #Ukraine.
