A good selection of captured troops for exchange.
And the next cuckoo needing a clock is……
Russia invaded Ukraine to stop Ukraine invading Europe and starting WW3, they saved us all from WW3.

Belarus will put forward a new military doctrine that provides for the use of nuclear weapons
Belarus will put forward a new military doctrine that provides for the use of nuclear weapons
A new military doctrine that for the first time provides for the use of nuclear weapons will be put forward by Belarus, its defence minister said on Tuesday according to the Associated Press.
“We clearly communicate Belarus’ views on the use of tactical nuclear weapons stationed on our territory,” defence minister, Viktor Khrenin, said at a meeting of Belarus’ security council. “A new chapter has appeared, where we clearly define our allied obligations to our allies.”
The doctrine is to be presented for approval to the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly, a representative body that operates in Belarus in parallel with the parliament. Belarus, closely allied with Russia, had both tactical and long-range nuclear weapons when it was part of the Soviet Union, but transferred them to Russia after the USSR’s collapse.
Russia sent tactical nuclear weapons to be stationed in Belarus last year, although there are no details about how many. Russia has said it will maintain control over those weapons, which are intended for battlefield use and have short ranges and comparatively low yields. It’s not immediately clear how the new doctrine might be applied to the Russian weapons.
Russia used Belarus territory as a springboard to send its troops into Ukraine in February 2022, and has maintained its military bases and weapons there, although Belarusian troops have not taken part in the war.
Security council secretary, Alexander Volfovich, said that the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus is intended to deter aggression from Poland, a Nato member. “Unfortunately, statements by our neighbours, in particular Poland … forced us to strengthen” the military doctrine, he said.

"Amazing additional footage from the Russian T-90M «Breakthrough» tank that got wrecked by the 25mm cannon of a Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley IFV at Stepove, Donetsk Region."
Sure made a mess of it and its ERA.

They are now talking of the possibility of Russians entering Poland wearing Ukrainian Uniforms, carrying Ukrainian passports etc but in reality being Russian forces.

Are they just coming to the realisation, that what we on here have been spouting for years is the possible solution, and the answer to that is the long range weaponry that they STILL are not providing nearly two years in. The ability to drop the Bridge and all infrastructure into Crimea will cut off one of the major supply routes to the war.
I sometimes wonder what the **** the West are doing, from the Republican Party with their hands drenched in Ukrainian blood, to the German government, and their seeming intransigence to give Ukraine the one weapon that could possibly attain the results needed and end the war.
It just beggars belief and I can totally see what Putin is doing, massive air attacks to bleed the remaining air defence assets in the region dry while doing similar on the ground.
America snatching defeat from victory, I do hope those in the Republican Party have nightmares as to the genocide they are participating in. They talked about not wanting Ukraine to become another Afghanistan, have they not figured out that if Ukraine falls and NATO is threatened the Europe will become their Afghanistan.

Russian Telegram channels report that a drone fell and exploded on the territory of the "Petersburg oil terminal."
According to the Russian defense ministry, that happened in the course of a drone attack on the Leningrad region, the first one since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began.
The St Petersburg oil terminal is the largest Russian terminal for the transshipment of petroleum products in the Baltic region (throughput capacity is 12.5 million tons per year), as well as the largest stevedoring company of the Big Port of St. Petersburg.

Ukrainians testing a jet powered drone.
That cart they use to launch it reminds me of the dolly they used with the Me 163.
