  1. My point was that this is a smart move on the whole by Zelensky for a country that eventually wants to join the EU ajd NATO. Of course having no issues throughout the defense ministry would be preferred.
  2. I think this is a good move that shows a commitment to addressing corruption, not that Reznikov was corrupt by any means, but he oversaw a ministry that has had some recent scandals that in and of themselves were not significant but kinda trickled into something worth addressing. He would've been gone sooner if he wasn't so effective, and he's reportedly gifted at connecting and building relationships. The rumor is that Reznikov will become Ambassador to Great Britain.
  3. He knew how the sausage was made.
  4. Seems like that would be painful. My understanding is that since they are "waxed" cardboard they are much more difficult to detect with radar.
  5. Sounds like he will become Ambassador to Britain. Ruslana is a Ukrainian defender who volunteered for the front at the age of 18. She was severely injured and suffered a painful amputation and difficult rehabilitation. Despite all this, Ruslana keeps smiling and supports other soldiers who lost limbs in the war. She strives to become a psychologist and work with veterans, helping them through the difficult period of recovery from their injuries.
  6. Assuming it's in reference to this: But it's worth noting this:
  7. https://twitter.com/francis_scarr/status/1696791286433427934?s=20 An amazing video by the 3rd assault brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces. This perfectly illustrates why @LibertyUkraineF is focused on drones. You can see the drones providing situational awareness to the Ukrainian troops to save their lives when we are outnumbered and outgunned.
  8. The whole story is worth a read: Minister @DmytroKuleba described how a group of 31 fighters made the liberation of Robotyne possible. The Foreign Minister told diplomats in France that for several months a Ukrainian unit continuously stormed this front section. Due to exhaustion and losses, at one point, it lost the ability to continue the offensive – and then "radical decisions" were made: the unit's leadership was changed. The Minister explained that the new commander requested the assembly of motivated fighters ready for combat missions. A combined group of 31 fighters was formed, a third of whom had no combat experience, but all of them had the will to win. "In 18 hours, they crawled literally on their stomachs for kilometers through minefields, where the russians placed six mines per square meter. Finally, the unit reached the landing zone and ousted the russians from there, holding this position for two days until reinforcements arrived. A group of 31 individuals did the work of an entire battalion, which would typically consist of around 400 people. The losses amounted to 7 wounded, of which only one was seriously injured from stepping on a mine. Essentially, the efforts of this group enabled an entire brigade's advance on Robotyne and its liberation after weeks of sieges," the minister said.
  9. I think porn is harmful to young children and widespread childhood and adolescent exposure to it is an issue incumbent upon society to address. I meant to add this disclaimer to the end of my previous post: I get that y'all are upset about this law. You're assuming I'm posting in support of it, but I haven't said that. I probably wouldn't be in favor of this particular law if it were in my state, though I think it'll be interesting to see how these and similar laws play out in practice and are hopefully adjusted. I think this addresses most of the points made above.
