❗️ SBU Head Malyuk told the details of the liquidations of Kiva, Tatarsky, Prilepin and others
Malyuk did not officially confirm that the SBU was behind the liquidation of a number of war criminals, but he told many interesting details. According to the head of the Service, fair punishment has caught up with all the scoundrels:
▪️External Deputy Kiva - in the form of bullets with a caliber of 9×19 mm with a control bullet to the head. (The pro-Russian politician and former Ukrainian MP Ilya Kyva was found dead in a Moscow suburb in December 2023 - shot in the head.)
▪️Propagandist and murderer Tatarsky - in the form of a gift bust stuffed with explosives. (Vladlen Tatarsky, real name Maxim Yuryevich Fomin, was a participant in the russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a military blogger and a convicted bank robber. He propagated the expansive policy of the russian leadership. In April 2023 he was the victim of a bomb attack.)
▪️Minister of Internal Affairs so-called “LPR” Kornet “found” explosives in a barbershop while shaving. (Ihor Kornet, who was a former investigator for the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs before joining pro-Russian militants, was the head of the "LPR Ministry of Internal Affairs". On May 15 2023 he was seriously injured due to an explosion at a barbershop in central Luhansk.)
▪️Prosecutor General so-called “LPR” Gorenko literally “burned out at work” from 800 grams of plastic. (The Prosecutor-General of the LPR Sergei Gorenko and his deputy Ekaterina Steglenko were killed by a bomb blast at their offices on September 16, 2022.)
▪️War criminal Prilepin exploded in a mini anti-tank car. He remained alive, but without his genitals. (Zakhar Prilepin, a prominent nationalist writer and supporter of russia's invasion, broke both his legs in a car explosion on May 6, 2023. The bomb was under the passenger seat and killed his friend Alexander Shubin, who was supposed to be driving instead of Prilepin.)
Easter appeal from Ukrainian activists: Rewe and Edeka should boycott Milka products
“Let’s make Easter more tender,” is Milka’s advertising slogan. In keeping with this, Ukrainian activists have called on Rewe and Edeka, two of the biggest players on the German market, to ban the company's products from their shelves.
For months, Ukrainian activists have been drawing attention to the russian business of Mondelez, the US parent company behind Milka. Shortly before Easter, they are now calling on the two supermarket giants to remove the chocolate from their offerings.
Despite promises to reduce operations in russia, Mondelez continues to operate three factories in the country. The activists criticize statements made by Mondelez boss Dirk Van de Put in the “Financial Times” in February. Van de Put had said he did not believe investors “morally cared” whether companies continued doing business in russia. There was no pressure from investors on Mondelez to withdraw from there.
Rewe and Edeka removed all products manufactured in russia from the shelves of their supermarkets shortly after the attack on Ukraine in February 2022. The activists say that they “count on your support to show Mondelez that morality has a place in business, especially as we consider that russia continues to commit war crimes in Ukraine.”
The Ukrainian government's National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NACP) placed Milka's parent company on its list of "international sponsors of war" last May. In addition to Milka, the Mondelez food group, which has its international headquarters in Chicago, also owns brands such as Oreo, Toblerone and Ritz.

"You can't negotiate with this enemy." Did, Serhiy Hnezdilov / ++ podcast - hromadske
"Until the deputies are on the front lines, nothing will change," says Volodymyr, nicknamed Did. In civilian life, he is an entrepreneur. He could have continued to grow vegetables and sell them, but on February 26, 2022, he went to the Military Commissariat. Today he is 51, he goes on assaults, and the military tells real legends about him.
What is an assault, how do stormtroopers prepare and what is the scariest thing in war? How does the battalion work with recruits? Why is strict mobilization necessary in Ukraine and why should we mobilize deputies?
And also – what should be the victory in this war. .
Watch and listen to the "++ podcast" – a conversation between servicemen of the 56th brigade Serhiy Hnezdilov and Did.
Rest in Peace Veronika
8-year-old Veronika Khitsai died with her father in Zaporizhzhia on March 22, 2024.
In the morning of that day, the Russian military once again attacked the city with rockets.
Veronika studied at local school #29. She loved to draw and play with animals. She loved to come up with recipes for various delicacies and cook together with her mother.
"Veronichka loved watching the TV series "House of Happiness". She was a real incredibly bright angel. All the best character traits are about her. Very friendly, sociable, beautiful," Aunt Olena said.
The girl is survived by her mother, grandfather and uncle.
This morning I am using my Bubba cup for coffee. It's one of those stainless steel double wall things. Will keep the coffee hot until noon. It has a handle which it needs since it's 30 ounces. Nice on a cold morning
Trump is done running against Obama. Now he is running against Buden.

I guess Palmer is somewhat unfamiliar with the Constitution. It would be unconstitutional to apply a law passed in 2025 to Trump. It would be ex post facto punishment.

The enemy cannot produce the planned number of UAVs due to sanctions.
The Russian enterprise “Izhmash – Unmanned Systems” failed to fulfill the state order for the production of the Granat-4 complex due to the lack of European components. This was reported by the National Resistance Center of Ukraine, citing a document received from concerned employees of the plant.
The Russian Ministry of Attack signed an agreement with the plant to produce new systems in the summer of 2023, but in October, based on an independent opinion of the Udmurt Commerce and Industry Chamber, the plant reported that it could not fulfill the order due to sanctions and the lack of components from the EU.
Ukraine uses Russian trophy shells in conditions of ammo shortage. Fighting without ammunition - United24
Notwithstanding the severe shortage of ammunition, the Ukrainian army continues to fight. How? The answer is people — individuals who tirelessly seek solutions even in the direst circumstances.
Max, a combat sapper with the 92nd Brigade, is at the center of this story. He is an expert in his craft, capable of cutting a mortar with an angle grinder and then reassembling it. During the day, he assembles a combat-ready 152 mm shell from two damaged ones, and at night, he enters the enemy territory to mine or clear mined positions during assaults.
This is a true story of Ukrainians who continue to resist under any circumstances as they feel responsible not only for the future of their homeland but also for the world at large.
On 7 March, the US Embassy in Moscow warned of a heightened risk of terror attacks in the Russian capital within the next 48 hours in places of mass gatherings, including concert venues. Later, similar warnings were issued by the UK, German and Canadian Embassies.
"Earlier this month, the US government had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow — potentially targeting large gatherings, to include concerts — which prompted the State Department to issue a public advisory to Americans in Russia," Adrienne Watson, a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, said.
"The U.S. government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding 'duty to warn' policy," he said, referring to the US policy in the intelligence community to notify potential victims, regardless of whether they are US citizens, of certain credible impending threats.
Self-proclaimed dictator Putin subsequently called the West’s warnings as criticizing the warning as "provocative" and “blatant blackmail” that he said was intended to “intimidate and destabilise society”. Reported by TASS on March, 19.
But now Z-landia demands publicly more information as White House spokesperson John Kirby said earlier on Friday that there was "no indication at this time that Ukraine, Ukrainians were involved".
"On what basis do officials in Washington draw any conclusions in the midst of a tragedy about someone's innocence?", rages the little Zakharova buckfunny "If Washington has information, it should be shared and that if Washington has no information, they should not be talking in such a way."
Well... 🤦♀️
