I understand it is cathartic to editorialize the Title and agree with the sentiment. I'm also under no illusion that this forum has a strong pro-Ukrainian bias. That said, it is convention not to editorialize titles for good reason. Mainly, that it emphasizes the bias within this forum and casts a shadow over the accuracy of the information being provided here.

No rule was broken, and I'd prefer to not go through the hassle of outright declaring it a rule. I simply ask that the community try to resist the urge to editorialize in the future. For the good of this community and Ukraine in general.

Thank you for attending this TED talk.

Honestly, he's right. Data cable and infrastructure sabotage, assassinations, satellite communications jamming, and constant disinformation campaigns to spur a far right resurgence.

EU needs to start Tatting for russian tits. I would even go so far as to say they need to escalate until russia backs down before it is too late. The problem is civilians are too unwilling to support hostile responses. Happy to keep the peace no matter the cost until it is their turn to get invaded.

This is factually inaccurate. Ukraine has made several overtures for peace that russia has declined for imperialist reasons. Also, Ukraine has democratically declared their disinterest in becoming a russian vassal as evidenced by their ouster of the pro-russian government, which precipitated this whole thing. Freedom is more important than peace, particularly when all that needs to be done to obtain peace is for russia to withdraw to their pre 2014 borders and cut the shit. Cries for peace at all cost are cries for capitulation, and consequently, pro-invader garbage.

I'm sorry, but russia is in fact real.

Different server and mod(s). Pretty much was created because that TIFU didn't show up on my searches for whatever reason. TBH its too early to really say. Hopefully it gets used more.

I understand the sentiment behind this, but FTR, the Hippocratic Oath is specifically towards patients: to treat them equally with the sole goal of improving their condition(s).

Hating on one particular doctor fulfilling their oath is misguided unless you want proving you're worthy of treatment before any doctor will help you to become the norm.

I just picture the flag as a field of sunflowers under a clear blue sky.

According to Vchk-Ogpu, Feshchenko was allegedly killed during a conflict with a friend with whom he had previously served in the Far East. The suspect, reportedly detained, has pleaded guilty to the murder.

The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims.

I wish these things came with an English transcript :P

Sukharevsky reported the presence of laser weapons in Ukraine and the use of a drone-"matt"

Ukraine today has laser weapons, its name is “Trident”, and also a project for the use of a drone “matt” with two FPVs, said Colonel Vadim Sukharevsky, commander of the Forces of unmanned systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“We can state that today Ukraine is, if I am not mistaken, the fifth country that can say that it has a laser. Today, we can shoot down aircraft at an altitude of more than 2 km with this laser,” he said during an appeal to the participants of the conference “European Defense Industry: Prospects for Cooperation with the Ukrainian Defense Industry, organized by the analytical center We Build Ukraine.

According to Sukharevsky, the Forces of unmanned systems are now on its way to scale and enhance the laser. “He really works, he really is,” he said.

Separately, he drew attention to the development of drones-"matts", which carry light impact drones.

"Today we use so-called drones-"matts", FPV carriers, with a depth of more than 70 km. They carry 2 FPV under them and actually act as a repeater and impress the enemy's deep objects. “It’s a real breakthrough,” the colonel said.

As Sukharevsky noted, the scaling of this project is one of the most promising elements in its work.

Speaking about the Unmanned Systems Force, the commander noted that “We are not within six months”, and at this stage there are already combat and scientific units “which close the component of air, land and water.” According to him, the group of the SBS works on the entire front line.

ASTRA’s sources among former Espanola fighters said that the reason for the attempted detention of Ispanets was suspicion of arms trafficking.

Is this a translation error, or was this an official action that went 'bad'?

This violence is par for the community, and a stained pant leg is not gore. If this material bothers you I suggest getting your Ukraine news elsewhere, or send a letter to Putin demanding he withdraw all forces to the 2014 borders or he won't get your vote.

what am i looking at?

edit nm. "Ukrainian special services have established the supply of elements of footwear (heated insoles) with built-in explosive devices into units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation."

yes

It was a PITA to fall asleep last night but I do feel better today thanks. It only hurts when I move now.
