That's not behind the tractor, that's in front of the tractor. Basically an improvised de-miner, some Ukrainian farmer put some tires on a metal frame and he's pushing that thing all over his fields
Here's the original video: https://www.tiktok.com/@gwaramedia/video/7225650366782852358

I'd also recommend this twitter thread by @martkuldkepp about Western Orientalism towards Eastern Europe, I found it to be very damn spot on

⚠️TW/CW: the video includes several Russian soldiers being shot dead at very close range (arm length). It's is not gory or bloody, but it does show them dropping dead after being shot.

The person that most people associate with being Wargonzo is the one from the end of the video.
You can watch the video here https://streamja.com/Xka4X or on the telegram channel https://t.me/ukr_sof/604

The more time passes without him posting actual, undeniable proof that he's alive, the higher the likelihood that he got bonked by that Ukrainian fucking Rambo superhero (fr, fr, that one was one of the craziest videos from this war, and I've seen a lot)

Bridges are designed to take a lot of stress, thus by default are notoriously hard to destroy/collapse.
Still, even with just this damage the bridge is very likely unusable and will take the Kremlin several weeks to repair while Ukraine can always destroy it again in a matter of seconds.

Didn't bother to look how he called Xi a dictator before, Biden was even more based than I thought lmao

“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment is he didn’t know it was there,” Biden said. “That was the great embarrassment for dictators, when they didn’t know what happened.”

Ah, fair fair. I can relate.

Now its the time for other countries to explicitly state what they'll do in case of a nuclear disaster in Ukraine. A bold, red line must be drawn and reiterated time and time again so that Russia doesn't dare to cause another disaster, this time a nuclear one.

Can you sauce this with some context? Is the Crimean bridge a propaganda/extending Russo-imperialism project for Russians, as the kerch bridge was before the funni?

No, no. Nothing of that sort.

The Chonhar bridge connects Kherson oblast to Crimea.
The problem is that this bridge one of the very few locations that Russians can use https://i.imgur.com/lluvBfW.png

The bridge that they just bombed is the one shown in red. Dark blue puts Russians well within HIMARS range, while light blue puts them just barely at the end of that 50km HIMARS range.

The other option that Russians can use to get to Crimea is through Kerch bridge.

Imho, the bombing of the Chonhar bridge should be seen as the official start of the coming Siege of Crimea.

Ukrainische Gegenoffensive: "Die Situation ist sehr schwierig"

Über die ukrainische Gegenoffensive ist wenig bekannt - außer wohl, dass Kiew sie sich leichter vorgestellt hat. Es laufe "langsamer als gewünscht", so die offizielle Botschaft. Minen und Drohnen würden den Vormarsch bremsen. Von Rebecca Barth.

@tagesschau Die Ukraine hätte schon vor langer Zeit F16 erhalten sollen. In dieser Hinsicht hat Europa sie völlig im Stich gelassen.

It's okay, he can fly the flag of the Council of Europe - not to be confused with the Council of European Union, totally different thing.

Drives me nuts that most of my news still comes through twitter relays.

I wish Ukrainians and their supporters would realize musk is literally their opponent and get off twitter.

Musk wants to be the Putin of Mars.

more than when they get shadow banned by space Karen

This is silly. Even with space Karen's limitations, Ukraine-related news, videos, pictures and tweets still reach millions on a daily basis.

And a lot of them haven't even tried other options.

Silly nonsense. What you mean is that they haven't tried your preferred social media network. And I get it, the feddiverse has potential. But let's not beat around the bush here, it is not populated nowhere near enough for Ukrainians to find it worthwhile to cater to it and Ukrainians certainly don't have the duty to popularize it.

And furthermore, look at Telegram. There's hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands of Ukrainian channels, each with millions or hundreds of thousands of subscribers. I should know, I'm subscribed to a huge chunk of them and its how I get a lot of the Ukraine-related information.
Everything from Gerashchenko, Voyna Real, Unian, Current Time, Novini, Truexa, to official channels like Pershyi, DPSUkr, to all sorts of local channels from Mariupol, Donetsk, Melitopol, and even channels of soldiers that are currently on the front, or their friends who help communicate news or fundraise for whatever equipment/help the soldiers or civilians need.

It's those channels that most people use when they post news on twitter, not the other way around. Twitter is slowly ceasing to be a source of news because its slowly dying.

And don't get me started with facebook pages/groups, instagram pages and tiktok channels. There's plenty there too.
