And now I need a break. Also suspect it would help with another post from a friendly person, to unlock ability to post more. I hit 10 max post fast…

Tomorrw, I will post April 29-May 5th or 6.

Thank you for reading. If noe one reads, I don’t post.

Former Chief of Ukraine’s Army reflects on the war with a solid article:

Usual Russian stuff. A russian soldier is beating up another russian soldier with a stick and does not notice the drone. I doubt his comrade misses him too much:

On the Worker’s Day, we get the gruesome tale of the end of brave Ukrainain journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna. She was raped, burned, had her eyes gouged out and she was strangled and more. We are used to such devilry from the Russians though (those of us who follow the war):

A surprising geolaction of 2 Russian soldiers (having used motor bikes) far into UA territory, inside Pokrovst. They are promtly killed of course, but shows how porous the front is.

Russian war bloggers actually claim they got lost, which makes sense given their absurd location far behind enemy lines. Well, dead now.

It was also reported on 2nd of May how FSB and GRU tries to hire Ukrainian teens to become suicide bombers (they don’t tell them this, but the exlosives they give them are suicidal in method; but such evil and cruelty hardly surprising anymore as it is just more of the same):
https://x.com/RobbieGramer/status/1918067000749748281

On this day, Russia also continued their human safari in Kherson city, terrorising civilians as usual:
https://x.com/NOELreports/status/1918267735697416576

Also, here it was reported that the SU-30 that was shot down was a helo (but we didn’t know better than, and only later learned it was jets):

With NAVAL DRONES !!!
"And here is the video
For the first time in the world, GUR soldiers destroyed an enemy combat aircraft with a strike from a Magura naval drone

On 2.05.25, the special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in cooperation with the SBU and the Defense Forces of Ukraine, eliminated a Russian Su-30 in the Black Sea"

And now I hit the block. I got to start of May 4th. Need unblocking. May the 4th was a very significant day, with Russian assaults that got repelled (but some succeeded) . Lots of extremely heavy fighting from that day and many quality videos and analysis. But Thsi post should not be longer than it is now.

This is a slightly graphic video, but I post it because it shows the “typical” Russian strategy. They attack with motorcycles. 1 driver and 1 gunner. They are drive for several kilometers before dismounting. Usually they die though. It is said, that they have 80% casualty rate on these Mad Max assaults:

Russian officers brags of how their nazi policies are enforced. War crimes are cool and all, it is socially acceptable this in Russia, unfotunately. Please WATCH this video. This is normalised in Russia. Some may not want to hear it, but it is. Tolstoy or not, this is normalised and socially acceptable. I should know, I have Russian friends who have escaped from this propaganda and hate culture.

This only really started happening after UKR got F-16s. F-16s protect in the rear against Ru inteceptors, SU and MIGs make bombing runs with precise French bombs. Important development, though not entirely new.
