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 💔
Art: bright_arts
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.

✈️❌ Soldiers from Ukraine’s 110th Separate Mechanised Brigade have shot down the fourth Russian Su-25 fighter jet in two weeks in Donetsk Oblast.
"Anti-aircraft forces from the 110th Brigade are continuing to punish [russian aircraft] for illegally crossing the border.
Another enemy Su-25 has been downed!
Its remains are smouldering in Donetsk Oblast"
the Brigade wrote on facebook.
This is the fourth Su-25 jet the 110th Brigade has shot down over the course of the past two weeks.
On 4 May, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the 110th Brigade shot down a Russian Su-25 fighter jet in Donetsk Oblast.
On 11 May, the brigade’s soldiers downed another Su-25, and another one on 13 May.

Russia does not have the strength to go to Kyiv on a full scale, as was the case on February 24, 2022, — Zelensky in an interview for AFP
What else did the president say:
➡️Ukraine critically lacks air defense, the country has only 25% of the need;
➡️The country needs 120-130 modern combat aircraft F-16 or other combat aircraft to have parity with Russia.
➡️The current offensive of Russia may consist of several waves: the first wave is the Kharkiv region. The situation there is controlled, but not stabilized.
➡️Russia wants to occupy Kharkiv, although it understands that it is difficult.
➡️We want the war to end with a "just peace for us", while "the West wants the war to end as soon as possible. And for them it is a just peace."

Your big mistake Jeff, is thinking New York Times is mainstream. They used to be. Now they are only good for lining the bird cage.

Attached is the full transcript of the statement by the IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari:
During our ground operations in Gaza, our troops found raw footage filmed by Hamas for their psychological terror videos.
Today, we showed the footage to the family of 8-year-old Ela Elyakim, who was taken hostage into Gaza on October 7th. Ela was released from Hamas captivity together with her sister Dafna during the hostage release agreement.
The video, which is being released today for the first time, was intended to be used by Hamas for psychological terror.
But Ela’s family asked us to share it with the world to expose Hamas's terror, to expose Hamas's cruelty, to expose Hamas's barbarism.
8-year-old Ela Elyakim told us that Hamas terrorists forced her to read from a script, forced her to change her clothes, and forced her to re-film this terrifying scene over and over and over again.
Our hearts go out to Ela, her family, and all the hostage families.
Please help us respect the wishes of Ela’s family by sharing this video far and wide.
Unable to download the video
We will continue doing everything in our power to bring our hostages back home
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🫶
