Snake Island, a very small island off the coast of Ukraine was being defended by 13 Ukrainian soldiers. The Russain navy demanded they surrender and their response translated to English was “Go frick yourself”. Russia has since captured the Island and all 13 Ukrainian service members were KIA.

The first time I saw that posted it was reported that they were Ukrainian tanks. Who the hell knows for sure, but they also appear to be lacking the white “Z” that seems to have been painted on most of the Russian vehicles.

I guess the ones with masks on didn't want to join in the singing.

I saw one tank burning. The rest appeared to be dispersed in a herringbone formation. Not sure what can be discerned from that footage.

It looks like the increased Russian activity around Chernobyl, including heavy tracked vehicles and helicopters, is kicking up a lot of the radioactive dust still on the ground.

Primarily a local issue.

Seeing that picture....the yellow jets reminds me of Pitch Black when those flying things came out of the caves at dark.

Lot of activity in Belarus from a few hours ago, close to border with #Ukraine, captured by @capellaspace. In Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Belarus, and close to the pontoon bridge that was set up last week.

Fox News reported this earlier this afternoon, but said they couldn't confirm, but that it "was being reported"

Tucker played a clip of Mark Warner saying a cyberattack that affects NATO countries might be the trigger to get NATO involved. So, it sounds like they may go that route.

Wow, that’s an interesting development. But it’s hard to tell from the reports bc there are multiple airports. There is another smaller airport that’s close to Kyiv also.
