⚫ While the rest of the world sends condolences for the demise of Raisi and Amirabdollahian, WE, the Iranian people, are dancing in the streets, popping champagne, and sharing sweets like it's Nowruz! Why? Because these weren't leaders, they were terrorists who terrorized our nation, stole our livelihoods, and murdered our loved ones.
Butcher Raisi has the blood of countless innocents on his hands. Liar Amirabdollahian spun webs of deceiton the global stage, grinning like a Cheshire Cat as he peddled the regime's propaganda.
So yeah, we're celebrating. This is what liberation feels like, even if it's just a taste. The world might not understand, but we do. We celebrate the fall of our oppressors. We celebrate the hope of a brighter future. This is our moment, and we're taking it!

A missile strike on a “secret” russian air defence base in the temporarily occupied Crimea killed a unit commander.TRAITOR

Russian media reported on this.

The burial of the commander, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Kulakov, took place in the city of Alushta. He served in the 3rd Radio Technical Regiment (military unit No. 85683) of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which monitored the airspace over Ukraine.

Kulakov died as a result of a missile attack on May 13, 2024, when Storm Shadow missiles attacked a radio engineering unit on the top of Bedenekyr.

The fact of his death confirms that the attack on the enemy’s air defense base was successful, and that some damage was done to the stationary systems.

It should be noted that prior to the annexation of Crimea, the former commander served in the 40th Radio Technical Brigade of the South Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

After the annexation, Kulakov was supposed to return to mainland Ukraine, but decided to stay and take an oath to the russian Armed Forces, and became a traitor.

As previously reported, the morning missile attack that took place on Monday, May 13, 2024, and damaged facilities on the territory of the military base and killed the commander of a russian military unit.

A radar system in the Ai-Petri area, on the top of Bedenekyr, was hit. Radars located on the territory monitor the airspace in the interests of the Russian invasion army.

WE REMEMBER 💔

18 May is the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Crimean Tatar Genocide

On this day, the soviet totalitarian regime began the mass forced deportation of Crimean Tatars from their native Crimean peninsula.

NKVD officers broke into the homes of Crimean Tatars, gave them only a few minutes, half an hour at most, to gather, and drove them to railway stations. 180-200 thousand Crimean Tatars were deported in freight cars to remote regions of the ussr. Men, women, children — all of them. Many of them died on the road...

In accordance with the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine recognised this deportation as genocide against the Crimean Tatar people in a resolution of 2015.

Today, unpunished evil has returned. We must put an end to this — with our unity and resilience. Our readiness to continue to fight for victory, peace and just punishment of russia for all its crimes.

Deputy Speaker Olena Kondratiuk

In Zaporizhzhia, emergency workers rescued a kitten that was trapped in a concrete trap 😿

The owners of one of the apartments on the first floor heard meowing behind the bathroom wall in the ventilation shaft.

The rescuers made a hole in the building structure, through which the poor thing climbed out on its own🥹

The fluffy was handed over to the owners of the apartment, who will find its owners🫶

⚡️Two More Darwin Award Candidates.

Two Russians sadly survived a botched disarming of an OZM-72 AP mine.

After removing the detonator plug for the main charge, the MUV-4 fuze detonated during removal, apparently igniting the much smaller charge that lifts the mine before it explodes.

The MUV-4 is a mechanical fuze usually tripwired as in this video.

It does not detonate the main charge in the powerful OZM-72, but first ignites an expelling charge that shoots the mine up in the air.

When a 0.9m tether tautens, it initiates detonation of the main charge.

Time to go dig holes for dahlias. They are a root cluster that requires a 12 inch hole free of rocks. The soil in that garden has 6 inches free of rocks. But the bottom six inches is original and mostly rock. Dahlias are worth the effort.

Maxar published new satellite images of the Belbek airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea after a series of missile strikes.

The photos show two destroyed MiG-31s, a destroyed and damaged Su-27, a destroyed MiG-29, and a destroyed fuel and lubricants storage facility.

Taurus. Would a German missile become a "game changer" in the war against the Russian Federation ?

A year ago, Ukraine officially requested long-range Taurus missiles from Germany to fight the Russian invaders. For German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the transfer of these missiles is still a red line that he does not want to cross.

However, Kyiv does not lose hope and periodically raises the topic of the Taurus program.

The issue of the transfer of German cruise missiles to Ukraine is periodically raised by both Kyiv and its allies. In March 2024, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said that the supply of Taurus with a range of 500 km would have a "significant impact on Ukraine's ability to defend itself."

"Thanks to the cruise missiles of other countries, the Ukrainians have already convinced the Russians to move their logistics bases, such as ammunition depots, far beyond the front line.

No matter how much the German government itself pushed Scholz to supply missiles, the chancellor is not ready to change his decision.

"This also applies to the Taurus issue. Along with strong support for Ukraine, one thing remains important to me: we will do everything possible to prevent the escalation of the war - in other words, to prevent a war between Russia and NATO," the German head of government said.

Rest in Peace

🕯 May 17 was the anniversary of the death of 5-year-old Vsevolod Kucherenko.

In the family, the boy was gently called Seva. He lived with his parents in the village of Zelenivka in the Kherson region. He went to kindergarten there.

"He grew up a very intelligent boy. He was cheerful, kind, smiling. Mom and Dad were the best for him...", says family friend Anastasia.

After the invasion of the Russian army, Seva's family was evacuated, but after some time they were forced to return on business.

On May 17, 2023, the Russian military began shelling Zelenivka. The boy and his grandfather were playing on the playground. Grandfather died immediately. Vsevolod was badly wounded.

The father, who was nearby, grabbed the boy and stopped a passing car to immediately take the child to the hospital, but on the way the boy's heart stopped...

The russians killed him. One year later, the russians are still killing children in Ukraine.
