Archaeologists, and looters, are scrambling to scour the exposed reservoir floor for artifacts.

“If it were not for Mr. Kiryeyev, most likely Kyiv would have been taken,” the general said.

He used his Russian connections to save Kyiv. He wanted to negotiate an early end to the war. Then the SBU summarily executed him claiming he was a Russian spy.

I subscribe to four communities:

1. https://kbin.social/m/Ukraine
2. https://kbin.social/m/ukraine@sopuli.xyz
3. https://kbin.social/m/Ukraine_UA
4. https://kbin.social/m/ukraine@lemmy.ml

There's activity on all of them. It would be helpful to keep all the discussion in one place. Have these communities (and others I am missing) discussed any plans to push the discussion into one community so we can gain economies of scale in sharing/discussing news related to Ukraine and Russia's immoral war against the people of Ukraine?

Staromaiorske is on the Velyka Novosilka axis of the Southern Front.

Another Russian general fired for complaining about lack of resources.

Great video of a well organized counter offensive towards Klishchivka near Bakhmut.

The amount of work and sacrifice to move it took to push forward a little further east...

Slava Ukraini!

All I see here is anti-Ukraine spam posted by the same few accounts. Seems clearly biased.

Any humans in here that can chime in?

• Russia is launching "unusual" numbers of carrier killer missiles, among others, at urban areas in southern Ukraine.
• The Kh-22 missile is inaccurate when used this way and exceptionally dangerous.
• Its reported use in recent attacks on Odesa indicates Russia is continuing to engage in indiscriminate destruction.

A main question for Ukraine since it became an independent state was who or what could potentially guarantee its security.

Absolutely barbaric torture of civil servants who refused to cooperate with the occupiers.

All the work behind the scenes that goes into flying a FPV kamikaze drone to destroy Russian heavy 240mm mortar.

Looks like some drones blew up a few buildings in Moscow

Leader of the Ukrainian State Property Fund says “If we don’t sell them this year, then next year their only value will be real estate, and in the following year, just the land they stand on"
