Another post I can partially agree with. IMO somewhat senile is far better than a stable genius who is anything but stable and not even close to genius. But current second in command is a lewzer for sure. But as for Putin he is just pure evil. Yes I know he says he just wants what is best for Russia. He doesn't he just wants whatever keeps him in power. Nothing more, nothing less. Like our former Prez 100% egotist, nationalist, all about him.
Actually, our previous and future president was all about America. The current president hates America.
From Sumy: Anatoly Kotlyar, director of the public health department of the Sumy region: Russia still has not taken care of removing their dead soldiers. "The other side does not care, they are not removing them, they are remaining here and are a big ecological threat. When they decay, the bodies poison the environment." He says that the bodies without documents are hard to ID. Aome dozen refrigerator train cars etc. have been ordered but still have not gotten there due to the war environment. The dead are being packed into plastic bags.

If you ask them what payment they owe Ukraine for damage to lives, infrastructure,and to the economy, they will say ZERO. Ukraine owes them for the cost of the special military operation to liberate them. Always the victims. Always.
"Anonymous" hacking collective announced that they broke into Russian Central Bank files and took more than 35,000 files. Which they will be publishing within the next 48 hours. Including what they call "secret agreements".
UK announced another tranche of weapons for Ukraine. 6000 anti-tank HE weapons (I presume NLAWs). Let the earth burn under the Russian invaders.
