You’re having a conversation about Ukraine; everything is going well until suddenly, the other person drops one of these five common misconceptions or makes one of these mistakes. Here’s a guide on how to navigate it and explain it.

NATO believes that Russia mined critical EU underwater infrastructure in the North Sea, - The Times

Over the past ten years, more than 160 non-military Russian vessels have carried out 945 suspicious actions in the North Sea

At least 749 of the 945 suspicious maneuvers occurred within one kilometer of pipelines in the North Sea. Another 72 suspicious activities occurred near electricity cables, and the remaining 124 occurred in areas where telecommunication cables were laid.

Mass protests began in France: people took to the streets against Marine Le Pen's leading party in the elections — France 24.

According to exit polls, the far-right alliance led by Marine Le Pen's National Association won ~34% of the vote in the first round of parliamentary elections. She promised to start fighting migrants in the EU and block aid to Ukraine.

Previously, the left-wing Union "New Popular Front" will take second place with 28.1%, and the centrist alliance of the current President Emmanuel Macron will be in third place, gaining 20.3% of the vote.

Two American-made Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley under fire from the Russian Armed Forces in the Avdiivka area.

This is the rescue from a couple of weeks ago. Someone edited it down to the short video here. The disabled one took a lot of hits. The second one came in to rescue the crew. They also took hits. But they are a Bradley. Take hits and keep going.

Wanted to remind everyone of this guy. In 2022 he fired a missile that hit a medical clinic and killed the 3 pictured children. He needs to stand trial along with the literally thousands of other Russian war criminals

Good morning Resisters everywhere. Cool here in the Ozarks. 66⁰ this morning. So tired of 76⁰ and 86⁰

Goodnight Resisters everywhere

Rest in Peace

✈️ Vlad Saveliev's wife - Lyubov with her daughter Kira visited the American air base in the city of Columbus, Mississippi. Here, on the memorial of glory, next to the American heroes, the name of her husband - a pilot of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - is engraved.

It was at this airbase that Vladyslav Saveliev took a flight training course even before the full-scale invasion of Russia.

❗️In Ukraine, he was one of the TOP candidates for the F-16!

But... A year ago, on June 23, after hitting the occupiers with American bombs and missiles from the MiG-29, a Ukrainian pilot was killed by an enemy missile.

I asked Lyubov to thank his partners for their strong support and to hand over the coin of the commander of the Air Force to the commander of the American air base, Colonel Justin Grieve. I also signed our "calendar of war" for 2024 as a reminder. On its pages are brothers of Vladyslav Saveliev, as well as equipment and people who hold the Ukrainian sky every day and every night and beat the occupier on the ground!

There is also a MiG-29 - the plane on which Major Saveliev flew, and an F-16 - on which Saveliev Jr. - Vlad's brother - will fly.

Thank you for your support, thank you for the memory of our Heroes!
🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸 Together to victory!

Ukraine Soldier that died in Russia Captivity out of starvation and torture

His wife:

"When we arrived in Kyiv on January 25 to identify the body, I was shocked by what I saw. It was a very horrifying sight. What struck me the most was how emaciated the body was. The pathologist said it weighed less than fifty kilograms. Sasha was tall — 180 cm. Before captivity, he weighed 110 kg and was physically healthy. What was left of him was just skin and bones. His head was completely bruised, his nose was crooked, and his index fingers had no nails. Whether they were torn out or broken off, I don't know. There were signs of torture all over his body.His cellmates later told me how they were abused. They were beaten every day, either in the cell or taken outside. They were beaten very harshly, especially my husband. Because he was tall, well-built, and refused to speak Russian."

Good morning Resisters everywhere. Especially the defenders on the front lines in Ukraine

Goodnight Resisters everywhere

Occupying russians in Crimea build 'monument' over the ancient Greek ruins of the city of Chersonesus.

Confirmed by both GeoSat images and the russians themselves, the destruction of Ukrainian heritage sites and theft of Ukrainian art continues. The russians have taken items of value in Crimea, to russia- Just like they did with Ukrainian art from Mariupol, Kherson and elsewhere.

@ukrainejournal

Don't try this at home. This stunt is for MAGA or Russians only.

Московська область/Moscow region….

Creation of a passage for equipment in a minefield

A mural in honor of the fallen soldier Oleg Khristenko was opened in Lviv.

The mural is placed on the house where the fighter lived. On it are two portraits of Oleg and what reflects his life and values. In particular, a weapon, a car, a chevron of the 3rd OShBr, the emblem of the "Angels of Azov" patronage service, a nationalist's prayer.

There are also three QR codes. After reading one of them, you can learn the story of the warrior, the second - see the mural in augmented reality and hear the nationalist's prayer, the third - go to the "Angels of Azov" website and support their activities.

Oleg Khristenko is from Lviv, worked in the IT field. During the full-scale invasion, he joined the "Azov" SSO regiment, which later became the 3rd separate assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Worked as a sniper. He had the call sign Krylov. The warrior died on June 7, 2023 near Bakhmut. The defender was 21 years old.

In the memory of friends and relatives, Oleg is brave, sincere, cheerful.

Oleg Khristenko was posthumously awarded the Order "For Courage" III degree.

In difficult times like these, it is important to also note the joyous events and share them with each other.

Here is one of those 🐆
