New poem for Ukraine, big thanks to

All this is headed to India and China or just being ferried to other Ruzzian facilities around the Black Sea. I doubt they are insured.
Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style.
And these tankers are now all over the world.

⚡️🇫🇷France believes that military facilities on the territory of the 🇷🇺Russian Federation are legitimate targets for 🇺🇦Ukrainians, - French Ambassador to Ukraine

Pretty simple math, even for idiots
⚡️🇷🇺Russian aviation has more than halved the intensity of its attacks on 🇺🇦Ukraine with guided aerial bombs since November 20.
It was in mid-November that Kyiv received permission to launch Western missile strikes on internationally recognized Russian territory and began carrying out these attacks.
