Happy Independence Day "Lithuania"! Here is a picture of you peacefully leaving Russia in 1991, for which you don’t show enough gratitude.
Russia is the leading provider of European independence days.

Telling Trump he will make the same mistakes as Obama did is one way to get his attention.

Notable message from President Zelensky. The USA is clearly putting pressure on Ukraine to hand over more of its land to dictatorial Russia.
Good to see the Ukrainian pushback--but the USA should hang its head in shame.

OTD in 2015 we learned from a leading journalist that a body with hands tied behind its back & a bullet in its skull is "evidence of bugger all".

We had trench warfare of WW1 until tanks & airplanes changed everything.
WW2 saw armour, bomber planes and artillery rule the roost.

Russia keeps pushing to encircle Myrnograd from the north the 79th Tavria Assault Brigade reports. Ukrainian drone recon spots most groups on approach and takes them out. Small infantry teams remain the occupiers' only option bleeding manpower fast.

OTD in 2022 Russia's MOD announced that all Russian troops near Ukraine were returning home. And seeing as we weren't lying then, you can believe us in negotiations now.
In most cases the "withdrawal" placed the units closer to Ukraine.
