☢️ At the end of 2022, the Biden administration was "thoroughly preparing" for a possible nuclear strike by russian forces on Ukraine. This was no ordinary concern—the apprehensions were based on intelligence information.
Citing sources, CNN writes that the US wanted to prepare and do everything possible to prevent Russia from taking this step. Against the background of the then military defeats (the loss of Kherson and the lands of the Kharkiv region), Russian officers and officials discussed a nuclear strike.
The US discussed deterrence plans with its allies, as well as with India and China. The leaders of the last states helped prevent a nuclear crisis. The threat has decreased somewhat, but no one rules out further tensions.

Vadim was from Odesa. He was fond of fishing and computer games. After marriage, he moved to Chernihiv. He worked as a sales manager at a food wholesale base.
During the full-scale war, he joined the ranks of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after Ivan Sirk, the chieftain of the region. He was the commander of the sapper unit.
"Vadim was purposeful, kind, brave, always moving forward, devoted himself to his work. He mastered the profession of a sapper in such a way that he taught everyone, he was called an "encyclopedia man", - said his wife Olga.
"Mala" is a border guard. She is a combat medic and a shooter of a mobile fire team that hunts "Shakheds".
Today there are tens of thousands of people like her. Some have been in the army since 2014, some joined after February 24, 2022, and some are just starting their military career.
Doctors, shooters, cooks, instructors— women side by side with men stand in defense of Ukraine. After all, our strength is in unity and equality 💪

This is ' Phsyco " from Brigade 80
He threw a grenade at russian occupiers to evade capture.
The second time he persuaded three russian occupiers to surrender and go with him to Ukrainian positions, they had been unable to leave because of Russian snipers and had no food.
The commanders of these occupiers did not even suspect that the Russians were already in captivity. Thanks to this, our guys regained their position that same evening.
It's hard to translate but it seems he is fearless.

A captured occupier from the "Storm-V" detachment was suspected of shooting a soldier of the Armed Forces.
Dmytro Kurashov, who has been convicted many times, faces life imprisonment for violation of the customs of war, combined with intentional murder.
Kurashov was a rifleman of the assault squad of the 127th motorized rifle division of the Eastern Military District. On January 6 of this year, he shot a Ukrainian soldier who was captured by the russians during a "meat" assault. Soon, Kurashov himself was captured along with his colleagues. During the interrogation at the SBU, another captured russian "turned in" Kurashov, and later the SBU received other evidence of his guilt.
