The Ministry of Emergency Situations stated that the fire was caused by lightning. There was no storm or rain in Tashkent. And the fact that there were lithium batteries inside the warehouse also does not match the incident: then we would be facing a fire and the gradual spread of the fire, and not a detonation of such force.” This could be an avatar for the Russian Army of 2023: A museum piece sporting a tiki hut. x Early model T-54/55 sporting an impressively tall cope cage in Russian service. pic.twitter.com/kfuaDGn4BQ — OSINTtechnical (@Osinttechnical) September 29, 2023 Russia has started holding criminal trials for the Mariupol defenders, which is yet another war crime. x Russian POW in Ukrainian hands on the left.

He called his mom to let her know his location. Romashka drove more than two hours to retrieve her boy's lifeless body. She showed me images of her son on this table and described how she prepared him for burial. She went on to show me a memorial video she made for her boy. I watched silently. After it ended, I explained to Romashka that I wasn't sure how to properly communicate what I wanted to say in Ukrainian, so I'd tell her in English. I told her that I was deeply sorry and that as a mother myself, I cannot imagine the pain she has experienced. Romashka doesn't speak English, but in that moment, she didn't need to. Hi Mom. x Our Defenders always make sure their moms are not worried about them! Great sense of humor, that one!
