You just have to love the Ukrainian resolve, it will have Russia either cancelling the parade or needling to ramp up the defence.

Cue the anti drone screens in front of the big hats’ balcony. I wonder how big the parade will be this year. Perhaps some friendly farmers could do a tow past?

A recent leak of sensitive US intelligence documents, including some marked “Top Secret”, has caught the attention of the US Justice Department and Pentagon. But where and how did these documents appear online? Bellingcat investigates:…

From The Telegraph an hour ago:

Russia has destroyed a depot containing 70,000 tonnes of fuel near the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, the Russian defence ministry said on Sunday. It also said Russian forces had destroyed Ukraine army warehouses storing missiles, ammunition and other artillery weapons in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions.

Earlier on Sunday, Ukrainian authorities said a 50-year-old man and his 11-year-old daughter were killed after Russian forces struck a residential building in the city of Zaporizhzhia.

A 50-year-old man and his 11-year-old daughter were killed after Russian missiles struck a house in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, officials said on Sunday. It was the latest Russian strike on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.

"The enemy carried out a missile attack on Zaporizhzhia and killed another Ukrainian family," the head of the State Emergency Service, Sergiy Kruk, said on social media.

A video circulating in Russian channels with a Ukrainian M113 which allegedly drove on a mine. Wouldn't have posted it otherwise, but the Russian soldier filming is saying that the bodies of fallen soldiers were stripped of boots but also beheaded, and their arms were removed as well... I won't be translating this but the man is approving of these actions.

These days you can never tell if it is as you see it. For all we know it could be some sort of deliberate ploy. Who really knows?

You'd know if the documents were inside a briefcase chained to the wrist of a body that washed up on the shore of the Mediterranean somewhere . . .

F16 driver career opportunities open.
Must bring your own F16, apparently.

Poor sods taking a mortar hit. One who is wounded is wearing a Union Jack on his Jacket. He speaks to him in English and is answered in English too. Quote from another post.

Russia's state propaganda channel publishes this video which I publish unedited: "A video of the likely death of a mercenary from Britain in the Donbas came into the possession of RIA Novosti. The recording was made on the action camera of a Ukrainian soldier who later died."
