Here's some combat footage that will get your blood moving. A Ru convoy runs into a Ukrainian infantry unit with a tank in Kherson. What's interesting is that one of the Ru trucks is towing an artillery piece. You see it very briefly at 36 seconds in. That means that the Ukrainian unit is operating in the Russian's rear area.

That's mad. Just chaos. The Ukr soldier scrambling to reload his machine gun whilst the Ru truck tries to run the gap. Courage under fire. Thanks for sharing. It is hard to imagine how the soldiers live through this when they could easily have been a year ago sitting behind a desk at work.

Slava Ukraini!

So Sunak it is, any thoughts on what this will mean for Ukraine?

First thought. What happens to Wallace? Remember he leant towards Johnson.

Second thought. If you were Russia, and you were about to do something stupid, would you chat on the phone with your enemies loads or think 'ooo there's a bit of chaos going on in London, thats not a bad moment to dump a load of shit'.

I think Wallace needs to stay. For me thats the first big acid test for Sunak.

Can't believe we're on a new thread already.

Thank you

That tank commander almost bought the farm. You can see a sniper round ricochetting off of the open ammo cover of his machine gun at 1:08. You're supposed to keep the cover closed while firing, but in this case, not following procedure saved his life.

The Sunak/Wallace situation concerns me.

Rumours that Russia have abandoned Mylove and Charivne in the Kherson region, looks like Ukraine have started making some gains again.

Rumours that Russia have abandoned Mylove and Charivne in the Kherson region, looks like Ukraine have started making some gains again.

The significance of the Ukrainians in that video attacking trucks towing artillery is that artillery usually operates five to ten miles behind the front lines. They are maneuvering without opposition in Russia's rear area in Kherson.

The Russians are falling apart in Kherson if they can't protect their rear.

Remember this:
Julia Davis AT JuliaDavisNews
Meanwhile on Russia's state-funded RT, director of broadcasting Anton Krasovsky suggests drowning or burning Ukrainian children, makes hideous comments about the rapes by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, says Ukraine should not exist and Ukrainians who resist Russia should be shot.

We have an update:
Julia Davis AT JuliaDavisNews
RT just fired Krasovsky. Too little, too late, in light of their pervasive propaganda that contributed to this war and ongoing promotion of Russia's genocidal invasion.

Someone must have realised that he’d made Russians look like the Nazis they say they are getting rid of. Too late to put that information back.
