RIP Martyrs

That makes me so incredibly sad and angry at the same time. 

Hopefully they made themselves an example of what you should do.

Second tweet is from a RT reporter, so take it with a massive grain of salt.

Website of the Russian Ministry of Defense - both the Russian and the English version - are a total blank.

I'm getting HTTP code 418. That's the joke error code "I'm a teapot". I assume some computer-savvy prankster is having fun at the Russkies' expense.

Shifty RT reporter lacks to mention that Ukraine would also need the accept the loss of Donbass (and Crimea), I guess.

Ukraine's National Guard just beat VDV Spetsnaz at Hostomel? Are ya kidding me?

It's a delay of the inevitable, but that's incredible!

So not only does Putin face crippling sanctions but his army is getting beat by a bunch of Slav squatters with Jean jackets and stingers!

National Guard are Ukraine's elite units




More impressive story to me is the Territorial Defence units driving the Russians out of Sumy. I was sceptical of their combat effectiveness but this could be an ominous sign for Russia in urban fighting.

Putin did this for sake of his legacy. But Zelensky is also seemingly acting under the same lines.
Will be interesting to see how the two men act over the course of the coming days and weeks.
The future of Ukraine will likely be decided by these two men, someway or another.

Would like to see further confirmation, but this could be a good sign.

Seeing talk about a "Ghost of Kyiv" - a Mig-29 fighter pilot who has allegedly taken down 4 Russian planes around Kyiv today. If true, Ukraine's got themselves one of the first genuine fighter aces in a long time.

Surrendering Russian troops? Thousands of protesters on the streets of Moscow? Angry oligarchs and businessmen as the Russian economy plunges?

Did Putin really f--k up and go too far this time?

Can't rule out a coup!

So much is unconfirmed, but I want to believe.
