In each photograph, Ukrainians in uniform wore patches featuring symbols that were made notorious by Nazi Germany and have since become part of the iconography of far-right hate groups.
The photographs, and their deletions, highlight the Ukrainian military’s complicated relationship with Nazi imagery,
-------------Ohhhhh, its complicated, I see. And they often alter pictures to deleted the............complicated. GOT IT.
Ukraine has worked for years through legislation and military restructuring to contain a fringe far-right movement whose members proudly wear symbols steeped in Nazi history
Yet they are still there.
Some are regarded as national heroes,
Oh, but Putin lies when he calls them nazi's. I mean if you saw someone, say like the Texas shooter, wearing those patches would you call them nazi's, white supremists?????

Wow, I read the news and see Russia blew up a dam, flooded it's own troops and deprived Russian controlled Crimea of water.
Hmm, then I see the Washington Post said on Dec 29th; Maj. Gen. Kovalchuk of Ukraine considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off.’"
Believe the world is just full of liars.

Russia and Ukraine blame each other for dam destruction that forces evacuation of thousands of people. Rescue efforts are done largely by Ukrainians. Cries for help go unanswered in Russian occupied territory. Western leaders blame Russia. The attack fits the way Putin is waging this war which focus on civilian targets. Now Ukraine intelligence claims interception of phone call that proves Russian sabotage to stop Ukraine offensive. Russia has controlled the dam for over a year and has planted explosives as blackmail threat. Zelensky says it is physically impossible to blow up the dam from the outside. No evidence of aerial bombardment as Russia claims. Of course, hard to verify claims in a war. But experts say Russia has more to gain from dam destruction. Therefore Russia has more incentive to lie. Under Geneva convention, destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime.

Like......Nordstream 2 gas pipeline???? How about drone attacking a father and his children gathering water in Afhganistan? Or maybe drone attacking a 56 year old father of 10 sheepherder in Syria?

To keep them from advancing, the Ukrainian military was destroying bridges and infrastructure. Part of the strategy included blowing up a dam that regulates the Irpin River flowing south.
The thinking was if they blew up the dam, and flooded the land south of it — including the nearby villages and fields — they'd be able to stop the Russian forces from advancing to the capital.

Ukrainian nation will take decades to rebuild its infrastructure. Shipping agriculture and returning to a peaceful governing system.
Q7.6 million citizens are displaced whether internally or as refugees in Europe and over seas.
The entire nation will be left badly damaged from this unprovoked assault by putin and the Russian federation.
The international courts have issued warrants against put in and top Kremlin leaders on war crimes and crimes against humanity as Russia slowly exhausts its monetary supply for foreign weapon systems to reinforced its failed strategy of annexation of Ukraine.
Of it all bothers you... you can now donate dir weed ctly to the Ukrainian central bank.

One way around space has begun manufacturing for Ukraine kamikaze racing Drones...
new company manufacturing kamikaze racing drones for Ukraine has emerged from stealth mode. One Way Aerospace – the name comes from the Pentagon term ‘one way attack drones’ – has founders including an undisclosed British Royal Air Force veteran James Earl, former Australian combat engineer and investor listed on Forbes 30 under 30 Francisco Serra-Martins, and Roman Antonov, former CTO of Doroni and engineer from Ukraine's Antonov Design Bureau. The company's Scalpel attack drones have proved themselves in action (see site for I r video) and now production is being ramped up.

Refugees from Ukraine are finding it difficult to find housing in United Kingdoms
https://www.independent.co.uk/news
Many are “trying to find housing” but are finding it difficult, Ms Good said.
“In the north of England it’s a little easy to get social housing,” she said.
“In the south it’s extremely difficult to get social housing with the cost of rental properties.
“With many of these Ukrainians, they may have had great careers back in Ukraine, but when you don’t speak the language you’re not going to be able to come and do the same thing most of the time in the UK

Small kamikaze drones armed with explosive warheads, also known as loitering munitions, are not new. America has supplied Ukraine with several hundred Switchblade 300s, a type of loitering munition. But commercial racing drones are cheaper and easier to procure than export-controlled Switchblades, and can carry a more powerful warhead. A Ukrainian non-profit group called Black Raven, which produces drones for Ukraine’s armed forces, recently assembled 20 kamikaze drones from commercial components. Their model costs just $700, compared with around $75,000 for a Switchblade. A Ukrainian activist claims to be raising funds to acquire 500 first-person-view attack drones for $351 each, while the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence is supporting a drive to fund another thousand.
You crawl forward and you look carefully,” said the soldier from the 81st Airmobile Brigade days later, after he and his platoon took the positions, several dozen kilometers north of Bakhmut, without losses. “You don’t think about anything, only how to get in there.”
The Russians failed to notice the stealthy Ukrainians until the attackers’ grenades went into the trench. The platoon from the 81st then went in by twos and threes, starting a vicious, close-range firefight with the enemy group.
Many of the Russian troops ran away after being taken by surprise. Some remained in their dugouts, trying to shoot back. They ultimately surrendered but not without trouble — one Russian fighter yelled out “I surrender” right before throwing a grenade. Five prisoners were taken — three Russian national guardsmen and two proxy fighters from occupied Luhansk Oblast

Leaders from Africa meet with Zelensky and Putin in an attempt to bring peace.
Meanwhile the US says no peace as posters on Covers give play by play (like a football game) of needless death and destruction with a touch of slanted view points.
