Russian forces entered Kupiansk with two columns of vehicles yesterday
The first column, comprising two MT-LBs, a BMP, and a tank, suffered losses; one MT-LB was hit in the forest, and another reached Svatovska Street before being struck on Nekrasova Street, where about 15 soldiers disembarked and scattered into nearby buildings. The tank was also hit further north.
Ukrainian UAV operators from the 116th and 14th Mechanized Brigades and neighboring units managed to eliminate part of the enemy forces. Though aware of their partial success, Russian forces attempted to send reinforcements, which were also hit.

Etsy CEO Josh Silverman has a special message for Ukrainians during an interview with Kyiv Post CEO Luc Chénier at the Lisbon Web Summit.
"We're so impressed with the artistry, the passion, the creativity of the over 40,000 Ukrainian sellers," Silverman said, adding that he's "blown away by the resilience of the Ukrainian postal service."

Seems everything I hear about Pete Hegseth is objectionable. Just the fact that he does not wash his hands should bar him from both the office and polite society. As for not seeing germs, has he ever looked through a microscope? I bet he uses a scope hunting. Same tech in a microscope.
