I support Ukraine and any part of the Moscovian/Russian Federation seeking independence as well as NAFO's efforts on their behalf.

I wonder, if GRU was there, if this ship carried them for another hybrid attack. The shadow fleet is thought to be part of attacks from the Baltic & North Seas. Why else would a high rank GRU & aides be on a shadow tanker?

The nearest sub repair dock is Sevastopol, where Ukraine destroyed the last sub. I guess that's why they blocked the port before moving it, they won't tow it there.

Perhaps it was targeted because it delivers to Crimea or another accessible port on Azov sea the military receives fuel from.

Clever moggie has done that before; to avoid getting wet they placed paws either side of the stream to reach the water stream.

I was given directions in Banff to this intersection & cracked up. The teen explaining the route was baffled why I thought it so funny. It's hard to explain how subversive that cartoon was to one who never saw it. Still have the photo of the sign.

I feel for the Ukrainians suffering this occupation. The Muscovites moved into stolen homes, they chose to be squatters. They get no sympathy

Doesn't this violate @fide_chess ethical standards? They set the sanctions against RU & BY who broke international laws. But now it's ok for the invader's children to play chess since those laws were broken by their parents, leaders, & teachers?
IOC recommended it. @IOCmedia should hear it's wrong

Good to know Ukraine aids those seeking to escape from Moscovy's repressive regime. Artem will become a better journalist given his understanding of freedom. He has lived without and now is learning what it can offer to those willing to support a democratic system.

It's very unlikely these horses are properly trained to be calm in battlefield conditions. They may be accustomed to rifle fire but mortar fire, mine explosions, kamikaze drones? A drone pilot just buzzing a drone at & around them, till they stop panicking, isn't enough when bavovnas start. 😤
