Once upon a time I was a foreign correspondent in Ukraine.
Initially thought to be a drone strike, the local governor has since said this explosion of a munitions plant was caused by a violation of safety standards.
Damn fine work, unknown drunken Russian factory worker.

💥👀 Moment of strike on JSC "Plant "Plastmass" in Chelyabinsk region.
The plant produces ammunition for barrel artillery, naval artillery, tank and self-propelled guns. Products cover calibers from ~76 mm to ~152 mm.

And of course the next top priority will be converting the White House into the Gold House, a mile-long palace with a giant rotating dining hall with an ivory ceiling that sprays down perfume, and an 800-foot pool and private zoo, after burning down half of DC to make room.
Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

Russian troops shot civilians in Zvanivka, Bakhmut district. On Oct 20, a family hiding in a basement was attacked after interrogation. One occupier returned and killed the father and two sons. The wounded mother escaped to Ukrainian-held territory, where prosecutors documented her testimony.

Seriously, you're not using him much anyway. And he seems to be the only sensible person that our imbecile president listens to.

In addition to Primorsk, it’s said that Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) struck several Russian oil pumping stations — “NPS-3,” “NPS Andreepol,” and “NPS-7.” These facilities are part of the main pipeline system that supplies crude oil to the Ust-Luga port terminal.

Update: Putin and Trump had a phone call that produced nothing
“Putin is tired of this whole thing,” Trump said on Fox News. “He’s not looking good. And he wants to look good.”
In reality, it is Trump who is tired of “this whole thing,” Trump who’s not looking good, and Trump who wants to look good.
