I cant speak to that latter case but 'Sergei Sazonov and Imperial pan-slavism started WW1' is a pretty mildly spicy take unless ur deeply entente-brained.

The liberation of Robotyne, a now ruined village of 500, was the highwater mark of the Ukrainian offensive

The Russians are already back on its outskirts, but I doubt anyone really cares

I wonder what kind of scum recognized this unfortunate man with trisomy-21 as fit for service?

However, the one who shot this video is an absolute cretin with acquired mental retardation, a real Banderite.

I've analyzed my attitude to the Banderites bastard government over these ten years. At first there was anger and hatred, now it's just contempt and disgust.

These nits do not even deserve hatred, exterminating Banderites should be done calmly like exterminating roaches.

I give that video like a 70% chance of being fake. Russia has stepped up the video fakes recently, there were several high production value videos of fake Times Square ads, and there was a really obviously faked video of "Polish" "corpses" being piled up in a trench a week or two ago. I'd be interested if any native speakers are able to tell if the accents are wrong or if they're clearly acting.

It means they can be sued, as opposed to the contract being cancelled so as to no longer exist.

❗️"There was a problem with the Korean purchases, I don't know who misled whom, whether it was miscalculated by Minister Blaszczak or the Koreans backed out, but a significant part of the Korean purchases was to be financed by a loan to be provided by Korea. It turned out in the finale that there was some misunderstanding. Now I don't want to put the blame on anyone, but it turned out that this Korean loan was not there, so if there are doubts about Korean contracts, it is because of what was revealed even before we won the elections." - @donaldtusk

Ukraine's Defence Intelligence on forecasts of Ukraine entering Crimea in 2023: Information is also a weapon
Ukrainska Pravda
1–2 minutes

Andrii Yusov, representative of Ukraine's Defence Intelligence, has noted that information is also a weapon, commenting on the statement that the Ukrainian army would enter occupied Crimea this year.

Source: Yusov in an interview with Suspilne, a Ukrainian public broadcaster

Quote: "Information from officials, from the military and political leadership, is also a tool of influence. It's released when it's necessary, and it gets the right result. As for the specific statements, they were true. Ukrainians were in Crimea this year and this summer."

Details: The official noted that following the attacks on the Russian military headquarters on the peninsula, the Russians are trying to change, relocate and hide military infrastructure.

Background:

In September 2022, Kyrylo Budanov, Chief of Ukraine's Defence Intelligence, said Ukraine would liberate Russian-occupied Crimea by force of arms soon enough. He specified that the liberation of Crimea would be "not in the summer, but by the end of spring, perhaps a little earlier" in 2023.

Friend says this is the damage a Russian missile did in Odessa. I guess it could have been a Saheed since those have smaller war heads, but to me this looks like all those Ukrainian SAMs that slam into buildings

Edit: It could be from outside Kiev, I'm forgetting where is home city was, but I was pretty sure it was Odessa
