Kropyvnytskyi s a city in central Ukraine, situated on the Inhul River. It serves as the administrative center of Kirovohrad Oblast. Population: 219,676 (2022 estimate). The video shows the aftermath of a Russian drone attack (more than 30 Shahed drones) on residential areas of the city last night.
Engels-2 is a strategic bomber military airbase in Russia located 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) east of Saratov. Engels is a major bomber operations base, and is Russia's sole operating location for the Tupolev Tu-160 strategic bomber. The mushroom cloud in the video above shows the massive release of heat and energy from an detonation of warehouses at the airbase.
Yesterday, Donald and Z had a fantastic phone conversation about implementing an immediate truce proposed to Russia last week by Team USA-Team Ukraine.
We also learned Donald is not averse to owning the largest nuclear power station in Europe.
Probably a good idea for Karoline to not comment on anything involving Ukraine. She’s worse than Steven, Donald’s special envoy to Russia, who has zero experience dealing with Moscow.
Yesterday Steven said he had received assurances that Vova had ordered drones attacking civilian targets in Ukraine to be shot down.
“I tend to believe President Putin is operating in good faith.” — Steven
At first, I thought Steven was delusional. Many Ukrainians tend to believe he is, er, an moron. We recall that Steven is the same negotiator who helped broker the truce between Israel and Hamas (that is no longer a truce).
I enjoyed this article from The New York Times about Donald Jr. visiting Serbia.
1998 was the last time I was in Belgrade. I was playing excellent 8-Ball Cue Pool and drinking excessively in cellars transformed into disco parlors. Slobodan was charged in 1999 for war crimes and died years later in a cell in The Hague. At the time, I hoped that would be Lukashenko’s fate as well.
Today the UK is hosting a closed meeting of senior military officers from the "Coalition of the Willing" as they draw up plans for a proposed peacekeeping force for Ukraine. More than 20 countries are thought to be involved. — BBC (March 20, 2025)
Change the name. Maybe something snappy like European Defense Coalition (EDC) or European Security Initiative (ESI). Or maybe make the coalition nickname sound like mission statement by using a verb-noun sequence: Restore Sanity, Promote Liberty, or Uphold Democracy
The possibilities are endless.
