Russian Defence Ministry Report Tuesday 26th July
PUTIN DAYS ARE GETTING SORTER AND SORTER, I'M SURE HE GOING TO USE CHEMICAL WARFARE WITH THEM DRONES.
So your neighbor walks into your living room and says he doesn't like the way you clean it, so he's going to take over cleaning it from now on, you protest but, mostly, let it go on for 8 years, then he locks your door while you're at work and says it's his house and always has been.
You'd fight too.
If world hunger is in such a crisis why won't the UN and NATO put forces in Odessa and the Black Sea to protect the ships and ports? Once Finland had assurances NATO will protect it, Putin quickly forgot about the whole ''NATO Threat'' thing didn't he?
The "Empire of Lies" never dissapoints. These idiots still think that Russia wants the whole Ukraine. This conflict is exactly the same as the one in Georgia at a different scale. South Ossetia and Abkhazia were liberated the same way. Russians are masters in the art of military deception and they don't care about Kiev, Kherson, Kharkiv and other cities outside Donbas and the land bridge connecting Crimea. When the Donbas will be liberated the negotiations will start, but if they fail then Ukrainians will be pushed beyond the Dniper River and a DMZ will be created similar to the one in Korea.
Fake Western media
They’re lying.
Go Russia 🇷🇺
I havent seen one Ukrainian victory yet?
What BS
God Bless Ukraine with a counteroffensive in Kherson. Slava Ukraine!
If you want to see the bridge up close, watch Patrick Lancaster's report on the ground:

"Ukraine plans counteroffensive to retake key port city of Kherson" so let's #ConvinceItForward with #SlavaBOHU
Dementia Joe installed in presidency to make Lockheed and friends rich.
I feel bad about Ukraine but think securing the southern border is 10000x more important.
