He returned from Germany to defend his Motherland - The story of Dmytro

The motivation and patriotism of this 19-year-old boy can be written about in history textbooks, so that even from the school desk, children could see where they should take an example for imitation.
Despite his young age, Dmytro made a willful decision to change his peaceful life abroad to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

▪️"I saw in the news about the events taking place in Ukraine and without much thought I decided to return home," the paratrooper says with a smile. Dima was born in Zaporizhzhia, but over time, his parents decided to move to Germany, therefore, until the age of 18, the boy lived and studied abroad.

Dmytro's life and plans, like each of us, were changed by one date: February 24, 2022, after which he could no longer stay away. At first, Dima returned home, and then enlisted. "I am not killing normal people, but destroying the enemy who is turning our country into a complete ruin," the paratrooper confidently asserts.

Dmytro is a true example of courage and bravery, for many years he managed to preserve his love for his native land and responsibility for the Motherland. We are proud of our servicemen!

Born to win!

Ukraine should continue to disable russian refineries, — Kurt Volker.

He believes that it is important for russians to feel the essence of the war, and this feeling will directly affect the level of support for Putin and the war in general.

“People need to realize that there is a war going on. Every day russia attacks Ukrainian energy facilities, they attack Kharkiv, they attack civilians, they attack everything. And to suggest that Ukraine should not be fighting back against things that are empowering russia's military capability, I find it inexplicable that we would suggest this,” stated the American diplomat and former US State Department Special Representative for Ukraine in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

THOSE ARE MILITARY TARGETS!!!

😡 A senior US defence official says Ukraine should not strike russia's oil and gas sector (what she calls "civilian targets") because it is "one of the elements of European democracy".

Russian propaganda in the US congress. Putin must be pleased!

- For avoidance of any doubt. Oil refineries are legitimate military targets and Ukraine has the right to strike these in self defence under international law. The oil refineries produce the fuel for the russian military and provide the funding for the war machine.

Combat medic Ihor Metkyi died on June 23, 2022 in Donetsk region. He was 37 years old.

Igor from Rivne region. Mastered the profession of an ecologist. For some time he worked in his profession, but his soul lay in something else: he liked to do things with his hands, he was fond of computers, he never refused if he was asked to fix or adjust something.

Before the invasion, he worked at the Kvasiliv Foundry and Mechanical Plant.

In March 2022, the man added to the ranks of defenders without hesitation.

"He was extremely well-read and intellectual. Remembering what kind of student he was, his school teacher said that there probably wasn't a single book in the Kvasyliv Library that Igor hadn't read. He was a true patriot and loved Ukraine above all," the Rivne RDA said.

Igor is survived by his parents and brother.

⚡️A top Republican says Russian propaganda has infected the Republican Party, the Washington Post reported.

In an interview, Rep. Michael McCaul said that Russian propaganda had 'infected a good chunk of my party’s base.'

“There are some more nighttime entertainment shows that seem to spin, like, I see the Russian propaganda in some of it — and it’s almost identical [to what they’re saying on Russian state television] — on our airwaves,”
McCaul said.

He also cited “these people that read various conspiracy-theory outlets that are just not accurate, and they actually model Russian propaganda.”

Asked which Republicans specifically he was talking about, McCaul said it was “obvious,” before staff intervened and asked that the conversation go off the record.

Russian dam bursts forcing thousands to evacuate in flood-hit southern region.

As of Saturday morning, the level of the Ural river was nearly double the level the dam was designed to handle, according to regional authorities.

The dam failure occurred because the hydraulic structure was not properly maintained, and a criminal investigation has been opened, the regional prosecutor’s office said.

Earlier, an emergency was declared across the entire Orenburg region after levels in the Ural River rose dangerously because of melting ice.

The dam was protecting the city from the waters of the Ural river. By Saturday morning, the water had reached several districts of the city, flooding nearly 2,400 residential buildings, TASS reported.

“A state of emergency is in effect in Orenburg,” the head of the Orenburg region Sergey Salmin said in a Telegram post Saturday.

“This situation leaves us no choice; overnight the [river] level may reach a critical level. I demand that everyone immediately leave their houses in the flood zone.”

Those who refuse to leave the danger zone voluntarily will be evacuated forcibly, with the participation of police officers,” he added.

Orsk, a city of 230,000, lies near Russia’s border with Kazakhstan.

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev described the flooding as one of Kazakhstan’s largest natural disasters in 80 years, according to Reuters.
