The National Weather Service in Cleveland said a potential meteor struck NE Ohio early this morning, causing a loud boom that was heard and felt for over 30 miles throughout the region. https://t.co/zHXqCIBWgK
MORE: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on September 17 that territorial exchanges will not “stop” Russia’s war in Ukraine, in contradiction to US President Donald Trump’s recent statements that peace between Russia and Ukraine will require “land swaps.”
Lavrov also asserted that attempts to “entice” Putin with the restoration of US-Russian trade will also not end Russia’s war.
Lavrov claimed that Russia would view any European forces deployed to postwar Ukraine as “legitimate military targets.” Lavrov’s statements follow similar statements from other high-ranking Kremlin officials in recent weeks, rejecting post-war Western security guarantees for Ukraine.
In light of denials of Russians that they commit war crimes in Ukraine, I share again what was probably the worst day of my life, two years ago, when I witnessed several exhumations among the 447 tortured bodies of civilians & soldiers executed by Russian in Izium.

NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin illegally annexed occupied Crimea 10 years ago, setting conditions for the full conquest of Ukraine Putin still seeks. 🧵(1/6)
Every time I watch this video it gives me chills.
In 1993, Ukrainian volunteers in #Georgia explicitly stated that #Russia would someday invade #Ukraine if Russian imperialism was not destroyed immediately.

The Swiss government has just blocked the transfer of 96 Leopard tanks from Italy to Ukraine.
Because more Russian cash is more important than millions of lives.
I was just in Switzerland and spent alot of money there.
Never again. Fuck them.

Before destroying the Kakhovka dam today, the Russians raised the water level to a record-high 17.5 meters by keeping the gates closed.
The wanted to make the flooding as large as possible in order to stop the Ukrainian Army from conducting a counteroffensive in the area
"We mined everything on Kakhovka HPP. So, they'll f**king blow it up and will wash away Ukrainian Armed Forces on the other side" - a Russian says. The video was published on 10 December, 2022.
Russian telegram is saying this morning Ivan Khurs was attacked by five instead of three kamikaze boats and that two hit the vessel and that she is severely damaged and at risk of sinking. They go on to further state casualties. 1 officer killed 5 enlisted killed. Two of them were thrown overboard and the 4 drowned in the engine room.
As OSINT accounts are retweeting this bullshit, I have to wade in:
1) not PAC-3 MSE. The number of launches make it clear that these are M902 launchers firing standard PAC-3 (or PAC-3 CRI)
2) the battery was not hit. A battery consists of 8+ launchers, 1-2 radars

A big drop today of two ex-Wagner fighters testifying to mass killings, including of more than 20 Ukrainian children and teenagers. Azamat Uldarov and Aleksey Savichev are both former prisoners.
They say they blew up a pit with 50+ wounded Ukrainian POWs and the so-called "500s," Russian refuseniks who didn't agree to kill Ukrainians. They cleared residences in Soledar and Bakhmut by murdering everyone.
"I executed the order with this hand, I killed the children on the order," Uldarov says. "What we did when we entered Soledar and Bakhmut... We were given the command to clear and kill everyone. We went and killed all women, men, pensioners and children, including minors, five-year-olds."
Yevgeny Prigozhin personally gave orders for the shootings, Uldarov and Savichev claim.

I interviewed Secretary Pompeo in 2019 about the ongoing war in Ukraine, and he clearly articulated what was at stake and why Ukraine’s freedom matters to America. His visit to Kyiv this week comes as a voice of reason and moral clarity when it’s sorely needed.

Incredible footage of combat in the residential area of Bakhmut. The enemy is on the same street as the Ukrainians, 15 meters away. The task, at a minimum, is to create a flurry of fire to prevent enemy assault.
