I dont know if true, they are also receiving more drones from Turkey it says.


#Ukraine's #Bayraktar defeated the fuel train from #Belarus along with the access roads. All the equipment standing near #Kyiv can't go now - this is one of the key operations and a huge step forward | EMPR #RussiaUkraineWar

That would mean poor air defense on the Russian side, as those drones are not really fast/manoeuverable/stealth aircraft...

I wonder if it is referring to the film here

Anyone remember the problems XXX Corps had reaching the Arnhem Bridge?

In Energodar, the invaders started throwing grenades and shooting at peaceful Ukrainian protesters. There are wounded.
They are standing flags flying blocking the road to the nuclear power station and singing the national anthem as Russians are firing Grenades and weapons into them :sad:

These are the Ukrainians blocking the road peacefully



Ukrainians keep on singing national anthem while being shot! They're fearless! On the 30th second you can see a leg of an innocent man being torn off by a grenade thrown by russist! What kind of creature you have to be to perform such actions???
I won’t post the link unless requested, there is another of troops opening up on a civilian car and the son seeing his father killed, the poor dog is hit to and the sound is terrible, the son films it all including his father on the road from behind the car, a later clip by those that found them, the son and fathers bodies have been dumped in the ditch, one dead dog is halfway out of the car and another dog is guarding the bodies :sad:

Only partially correct. Some of the legionnaires were on leave, many were not, but none had permission to leave France. Many matters ( no travel outside France without permission, no cars, no renting apartments ) are tightly regulated for the initial contract ( five years ?) There are approx 700 Ukranians out of 9 000 legionnaires, so a significant proportion.

"According to France 24 Macron is putting the french economy first and talking to Putin."

I'm unsure what is being referred to, but that would be particularly sensitive at the moment with France currently holding the presidency of the European Council, as well as this being the last four weeks of the French presidential election campaign and Macron seeking re-election..

I have seen both and I would suggest against posting the links anywhere other than on a war crimes reporting site, they are horrific.

If people want to find them, they will know where to look.

Just my pennies worth.

Apparently the legionnaires have permission to enter Poland
