You know you are a refugee cat from Pokrovsk, when you have a blanket like this. HIs name is "Vuchko", named after the cute little mascot for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Yugoslavia. From "Vuk" = Wolf, so Vuchko is kind of diminutive name for "wolf". But it's a proper name like "Peter" or "Paul".

@andy-milburn.bsky.social Heads up Andy, a very relevant article you wrote in 2010, got a mention today by US army vet, Paul Lewandowski, of the Combat Vet News YT chan. Regarding SECDEF Hegseths obtuse attitude to disobeying illegal orders. It's on the right time stamp.

For the third time my block of flats in #Pokrovsk was bombed. This time right in our quarter of the block. Before & after shots. First pic is a shot from the last strike earlier this month, the yellow U is all missing in the recent shot. Red arrow missing part, Yellow arrow my flat location. Fires.😵💫

Makiivka Train station, now in the so-called DNR, August 2014. The angle the artillery came in, was from the north east, so most likely Girkins Ruzzian forces. I wonder if Pushilin or Girkin had these duds removed or just cover them over & leave them. If you ever enter the platform there, GO LEFT!😉

Entering the platform, as above, if you ever visit there, go left, just in case they covered up the unexploded dud shells & left them there. Even without exploding the supersonic shock wave blew out the windows. The curtains are just open to the wind. Station was done up for EURO 2012 football comp.

I noticed something where my wife gives online classes. Her communal staff laptop was provided by #USAID. Her uni was displaced from Donetsk City in 2014 to Pokrovsk, then to west Ukraine. The Russians bombed her uni. My wife's macbook is an old 2011 model. The extra USAID laptop really helps her.

Pokrovsk telecom station, August 2015. We used to have Sunday summer BBQ's there in better times. The interior equipment, a lot of it old Soviet era (but not all). The stray cats of course. That red box is a Soviet "extinguisher" (no modern foam) for electrical fires. The box says "песок" (sand). 🧯

With Pokrovsk under siege. I am digging up some old photos from my library. August 2015. An old abandoned Soviet-era fun park, most likely, for small kids, that maybe survived a decade or more post 1991. There are plenty of these in the simmer all over Ukraine, but they use way newer fun park rides.

August 2014, Makiivka, they spray paint the DNR flag. At night Ukrainian patriots, cross it out & write "не было" (never was). The was more but I can't remember what it said after a decade.

Remember this shit every time these jabronies start talking about how they're doing something to "protect children."
Horrifying: After the contract tracking Ukrainian children abducted by Russia was terminated, the underlying evidence of these potential war crimes seems to be missing, a bipartisan group of Reps just charged in letter to Rubio. Two GOPers signed.

Retired RAF Air Marshal Greg Bagwell has been advocating for a no fly-zone over western Ukraine to help with drone & missile CAP's for several years to no avail, but recent American intransigence in the WH has put this idea back on the table. Clip goes for a few minutes, worth a watch.
