In Kupiansk,Akhilles 429 Separate Regiment of unmanned systems has blown up a pipeline that Russia used to get its soldiers into the northern suburbs of Kupiansk.

The so-called peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia will fail. It is inevitable. Putin‘s objective - the destruction of Ukraine (and the USA) - will never stop for as long he draws breath. He crossed the point of no return a long time ago.
