Putin’s ‘Everything for Victory’ fund just lost its boss in occupied Crimea. Anatoly Chernyshov supplied Putin’s war machine. Ukraine reportedly supplied the warranty claim: CONSEQUENCES. 🇺🇦#VPDFO, #GIVETHEKIDSBACK, #SlavaUkrainai

Putin sold Alexei Popolitov the Cossack fantasy: flags, swagger, artillery and imperial glory. Ukraine declined the cosplay and issued a permanent cancellation. Daddy Ataman’s little Cossack has left the chat. 🇺🇦

Russian Captain-Lieutenant Artem Mezhinsky commanded a storm company into Ukraine. Putin promised glory. Ukraine arranged the eternal accommodation. No checkout time required. 🇺🇦

[Max Marten 🇱🇻🇦🇺🇺🇦 @AussieMaxMarten]

Captain Sergey Vorotnikov commanded Russia’s anti-tank missiles. He took Putin’s war to Ukraine and discovered the Ukrainians have a rather unforgiving returns policy. Sender returned. 🇺🇦

Putin’s parrots are usually deafening. Russia gets blamed for an explosive-drone attack on European soil and suddenly… 🦗🦗🦗. Someone check their cages. Moscow may have forgotten to send today’s script.

Ukraine’s express demob program claims six more: Maj Artem Leve, Maj Choigan-Ool Chipsinak, Lt Habibulla Hulmagomedov, Andrei Saltanov, Capt Vitaly Chukanov and Lt Sergei Karasenko.
Turns out Ukraine offers Putin’s officers an excellent retirement plan. 🇺🇦

Senior Russian officer Dmitry Primenko spent years climbing the ranks. Then his An-26 handled the descent. Class of 1972. Graduated 2026. Final qualification: gravity. 🇺🇦

Colonel Evgeny Shendelev, call sign ‘Snow’, was zampolit of Russia’s 36th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade. He ‘passed away in the SVO’ in occupied Olenivka. Snow melted. 🇺🇦

70 years old. 15 years in Putin’s gulag.
Svitlana Loy’s ‘crime’? Helping Ukraine fight the Russians occupying her homeland.
As they sentenced her, she sang a Ukrainian folk song.
You can cage her, Putin. You’ll NEVER own her. 🇺🇦

Captain Vadim Khorev drove a T-34 through Moscow’s 2020 Victory Parade. Then he joined Putler’s invasion from day one and was killed in Ukraine. From playing war for Putl to discovering the real thing. 🇺🇦

Another Russian officer graduates with honours from Putin’s School of Bad Career Choices. Lt Evgeniy Evsikov of the 5th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade was killed in Belgorod on 5 August. Didn’t even make it out of Russia. 🇺🇦

Junior Lt Roman Bezmenov barely looks old enough to shave. Putin gave him a uniform, a rank and a ticket to invade Ukraine. Now he’s dead. What a glorious ‘future’ Russia offers its kids. 🇺🇦

[Max Marten 🇱🇻🇦🇺🇺🇦 @AussieMaxMarten]

Oh yes, he ‘fell’. Obviously.
Sergey Ivanov, former Russian Defence Minister, KGB/FSB heavyweight, ex-Kremlin chief and once tipped as Putin’s successor, apparently decided to imitate an escaping bird.
Funny how gravity gets ambitious around Putler’s potential rivals...

[Max Marten 🇱🇻🇦🇺🇺🇦 @AussieMaxMarten]

⚡️ Traitor Robert Shageev deserted Ukraine, joined Putin and helped fire missiles at Ukrainian cities. Now he’s reportedly dead beside a Sevastopol rubbish bin. Fitting place for a traitor. 🇺🇦

Putin’s Black Sea palace reportedly has a new feature: no air-defence shield. 🇺🇦
Ukraine has taken out the batteries guarding his luxury hideaway.
Sleep tight, Vlad. Those Ukrainian drones sound awfully close. 😏

Another of Putin’s invaders is making Ukrainian worms happy. 🇺🇦
Lt Col Alexander Smirnov, deputy commander of Russia’s 11th Air Assault Brigade, came to Ukraine as an occupier.
Ukraine made sure he stayed.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Five more of Putin’s invaders are fertilising Ukrainian sunflowers. 🌻🇺🇦
Major Amosov, Captain Golovchenko, Lieutenants Kalinin and Popolitov, and Junior Lt Kim.
Russia sent killers. Ukraine sent them back to the soil.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦#VPDFO, #GIVETHEKIDSBAC...

Russian Major General Kanamat Botashev really knew when to quit. Kicked out after crashing a Su-27 he wasn’t authorised to fly, he later joined Wagner, took a Su-25 over Ukraine, and got shot down. Career complete. 🇺🇦#VPDFO, #GIVETHEKIDSBACK, #SlavaUkrainai
