Good morning Resisters everywhere. It's fixing to get stormy. T-storm alert and possible rotation. But we really don't get them here. Tornadoes have an affinity for flat ground and trailer parks. Neither of those here.
Goodnight Resisters everywhere.
These guys are Resisters. Just ask DeathSantis
They fought an attempt to repeal an 1854 law outlawing ALL abortions

MASSIVE STRIKE ON RUSSIAN LOGISTICS
Ukraine launched a massive strike on Russian rear and logistics areas yesterday, along the line of contact in the Kupiansk sector. Drones and missiles in a coordinated strike designed to overwhelm and confuse, hit ammo depots and supply points, paying particular attention to supply trucks and vehicles, already in short supply due to losses.
The Russians have been using a variable attack system - striking in one place, failing, regrouping there and resupplying, then moving somewhere else on the line to attack while the previous groups repair and resupply to go again.
The Ukrainian plan to attack multiple points all at once allowed them to disrupt this ongoing rotation.
Another part of the reason for the attack was that troops moved from Kupiansk to Lyman nearly two months ago were now relocating back to Kupiansk. They too were part of the target plan for this strike during their transit.
The Ukrainians also attacked a key bridge over the river behind Russian lines.
There were already clear signs of problems behind Russian lines. Thefts of food and animals from those under occupation have shot up in the last few weeks, suggesting food shortages and low morale. Russian trucks have been hit hard over the past year and supply isn’t keeping up with demand. Shortages result, and troops take things into their own hands.
These attacks follow on from an operation late last week that involved StormShadow. Widely believed to have been a repair centre for Russian units, it’s since been revealed as the command HQ for the Russian Central Front and it was totally destroyed along with its senior officers and comms systems.
The strike along with others by drones has been possible only because strategic strikes at oil refineries have drawn away Russian air defences. These strikes will likely lure them back and Ukraine can resume its attacks on the refineries! An endless game of cat and mouse.
A good day for Ukraine!

MASSIVE AIRBASE STRIKE
Ukraine used ATACMS missiles to strike a major Russian air base last night at Dzhankoy in Kazan. The explosions were massive and ongoing, ammunition continued to fire off for hours, leaving a fast burning mess and gargantuan pal of smoke that spread for dozens of kilometres.
Helicopters, S-300/400 missiles, including 2 S-300 and 3 S-400 launchers, heavy bombs and other ammunition was held in the base. Precision targeting seems to have rendered the base unusable in the immediate future.
An aircraft factory in Tartastan is also under attack by drones and so is an airbase at Moldoyvia.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦!
Much beloved double amputee with a big heart
Yana Stepanenko has raised UAH 615,000 ($15,450) for a prosthesis for Ukrainian Defender Oleksandr Riasnyi when she ran 5k at Boston marathon.
"When we started running at the start, it was not difficult at all. That is, I ran about 300 meters without any difficulties, and then, towards the end, when there was a kilometer left, my legs began to hurt, and I was tired, but despite the pain, I made it to the finish line," Yana shared.
Yana raised the whole amount for a prosthesis for 30-year-old Oleksandr Riasnyi. He fought in the ATO, the JFO, and then in the full-scale war. Oleksandr was defending his native Zaporizhzhia direction when a shell exploded near him last September. He lost his right leg. Now, Oleksandr is learning to walk on prosthetic leg, plans to return to service, and dreams of running.
Yana Stepanenko, her brother Yaroslav, and their mom Nataliia were at a train station in Kramatorsk on April 8, 2022, trying to evacuate, when Russia attacked the station with a missile carrying cluster munitions. The strike killed 61 people and injured more than 100. Yana lost both legs, her mom lost one. Yaroslav was not hurt because he stayed indoors at the time of the shelling.
Yana's strength and spirit are out of this world.
He is really trying to get locked up
