Russia Strikes Lviv: A Family’s Tragic Loss
A man in Lviv is getting stitched up while the bodies of his family members are being taken out from the rubble. This might be one of the hardest videos I’ve watched.
It’s hard to breathe today. These beautiful souls—Yevhenia, Yaryna, Daria, and Emilia Bazylevych—were killed by Russia in Lviv. And no, it’s not just Putin; it’s every Russian assembling Kinzhal missiles, launching them at sleeping cities, supporting the war, and staying silent.
Zelenskyy’s Government Shakeup
President Zelenskyy is making big changes in his government.
- Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba submitted his resignation to the Verkhovna Rada.
- Ukrainian Parliament dismisses Environment Minister Ruslan Strilets.
It looks like @Zelensky is looking for a broad shake-up among the country’s national security, foreign diplomacy, and domestic policy teams.

Russian Arctic Brigade Decimated
Should have stayed home.
- A Russian Arctic brigade which has been recruiting from prison colonies is reported to have been decimated in Ukrainian attacks on Russian-occupied islands in the Dnipro estuary and Black Sea, suffering as much as 80% casualties.
- The 80th Arctic Motorised Rifle Brigade was created in 2014 to protect Russian territories bordering Norway and Finland, along a line from Murmansk to the New Siberian Islands. Although it is a specialist Arctic warfare unit, much of the brigade was sent to Ukraine in 2022.
- Since then, according to relatives, many of its soldiers have been killed or wounded while stationed on islands in the Kherson region. The brigade began recruiting convicts in 2023, apparently after losing scores of men in Ukraine.
- The Dnipro downstream of Kherson flows around dozens of islands, most notably the strategically located Great Potʹomkinsʹkyy Island just south of Kherson city. More Russian-held islands are located in the Black Sea along the Gulf of Tendra and the Dzharylhats’ka Gulf.
- The contested islands include Great Potʹomkinsʹkyy (marked as 1 on this map), the Tendra Spit (2), Orlov (3), Dzharylhach (4) and the Kalanchak Islands (5). Many are nature reserves but have reportedly been heavily damaged by the Russian occupation.

Russia’s Internal Struggles
Maybe if Russia didn’t treat its citizens like serfs.

Forced Conscription in Chechnya
And maybe if Russia didn’t round up people it considered disposable to send to the front as cannon fodder.
- The government of Russia’s republic of Chechnya is reportedly forcibly sending detained homosexual men to fight in Ukraine, blackmailing them into ‘volunteering’ for a military contract. At least seven such cases are known, with one person killed so far.
Russian Military Recruitment Crisis
“We no longer need stupid but loyal people”
Ya think?
Russian military journalist Sladkov is confident that victory will be Russia’s. However, they don’t need fools and loyalists. What they need are conscious intellectuals who must be willing to gladly give their lives for the Motherland.
I won’t name the renowned military academy, unique in the world, as there are no others like it. The competition to get into it this year was just 0.8 applicants per spot, whereas it used to be 20 applicants per spot, and it was nearly impossible to get in!
Now, those who did get in are submitting resignation reports in droves, asking to be discharged and sent home. They’re being called to academic councils and tearfully asked to stay. What kind of commanders are we hoping to develop from these people? By the way, the academy’s leadership consists of worthy professionals, but they don’t write the laws.
The warrant officer training department recruited only 30 cadets out of the 100 needed. This is a disaster! The military profession, despite the social benefits and pay, and military mortgage programs, has rapidly lost its value.
What future victories and preparations for war are we talking about? With whom are we going to fight? We no longer need stupid but loyal people. We’ve been fighting with such people for three years now. We need consciously loyal, intelligent patriots.
