May have been DU ammo.

The United States will transfer assets confiscated from Russian businessmen to Ukraine - Blinken

"For the first time, we are handing over assets to Ukraine that were seized from sanctioned Russian oligarchs, which will now be used to support Ukrainian military veterans," said the U.S. Secretary of State during a press conference in Kyiv.

A statement from the U.S. State Department clarifies that this involves $5.4 million, which will be used for "reintegration and rehabilitation."

While this action may be perceived as confiscation on a global scale, the U.S. appears to consider itself exempt from such judgments. However, these perceptions may soon be challenged.

The daily dose of sarcasm can't be missed. Blinken is transferring stolen property to Ukraine, which isn't particularly known for handling funds with great care. It's like a thief giving something to another thief to distribute among many thieves. This whole situation is ridiculous, just like the photos of Kuleba and Blinken in McDonald's, as if that's the common denominator. In reality, Ukraine seems to have a franchise license for audacity, something they can display toward everyone except the USA.

While the Western press increasingly criticizes the situation, and Ukraine's elite exhaust their reserves in Rabotino, signaling the end of Ukrainian offensive capabilities, it's time for a rational plan. Instead, Zelensky threatens to sue the EU over wheat import restrictions from neighboring states. Who's paying for the lawyer, you lunatics?

Pointless drone attacks on Russia achieve nothing, certainly not a military advantage, and the Russian population can't be demoralized.

In the Ukraine people are dying again, civilians on a marketplace, and critical reporters recognize that the rocket must have been launched from Ukrainian territory, but, of course, it's labeled as a Russian attack.

There won't be a breakthrough at the front leading to the capture of Crimea. Who still believes that nonsense? The game has long been over, but we know that. A clinically dead patient has been artificially revived three times; there won't be a fourth. It is what it is; stupidity must be punished until sanity returns.

Let what that shameless shit just said sink in: Stealing billions in property for simply being Russian, and giving it to another nation documented as among the most corrupt for 30 for the last years..a set of thieves embezzling billions in food, money property and weapons while buying property around the world using a war and mass murder as a deflection.

It is possible, yet irrelevant. DU ammo makes problems when hits the target. It pulverizes, contaminates the air and ground, and can be inhaled by the people nearby. As long as it stays as a solid rod, it is not an issue. You can lick one for a whole day and you won't be harmed.

He burned happily just after. 

That's right! Like that chopped off head that was singing an anthem rolling downhill

Compilation of clips via the Daily Mail of the attack last night in Rostov. Quite a big explosion, maybe hit a car with petrol. Presumably targeting the military HQ but missed.

A huge kamikaze drone explosion hit close to Vladimir Putin's war command headquarters in Rostov-on-Don in the early hours of the morning.

Shocking footage shows a giant fireball rising up over the city, which lies near Russian-occupied Ukraine.

The explosion whipped up a savage blaze in the vicinity of the military HQ, which Putin is reported to have visited several times throughout the war.

Three buildings and several cars were damaged according to an initial assessment by Rostov region governor Vasily Golubev.

The war command bunker is at the HQ of Russia's Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don.

Indeed. Coincidences do happen. You can't program a HARM to hit a particular, random location, anyway. And it is clearly a missile in the AGM-88 ballpark size-wise, and it's running its motor (so it's not an MLRS or anything), it comes from the northeast and it coincides with Ukrainian aerial activity to the northeast.

Plus it carried small fragments typical for antiradar warheads that caused a lot of damage outside the blast zone. This can be clearly seen on the CCTV, when multiple small hits appear on the windows, car shields and roofs.
Yet as always it didn't change anything in a whole narration.

Yesterday (?) there was a report of HRW about the victims in Charkov area. All killed by Ukrainian artillery with fragmentation and flachette warheads. Nobody gives a shit about that, the "mass murderers Russkie" story is already well hashtaged.

Russia has withdrawn almost all of its troops from the territory of Belarus; at the moment there is no Russian army group in the republic that could threaten Ukraine from the northern direction. This was stated by the representative of the Ukrainian State Border Service Andrey Demchenko.

According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Russian command rotated units that were trained at training grounds in Belarus, withdrawing almost all personnel from the territory of the republic. At the same time, no new units of the Russian army were introduced. Thus, there are practically no Russian troops in Belarus at the moment.

At the moment, Russia has withdrawn almost all of its units that have completed training as part of the rotation. But no new units were introduced there - Demchenko said at a briefing.

Earlier, representatives of the operational command “North” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that Russia keeps approximately 10-11 thousand military personnel in Belarus, who, if necessary, can create the basis of a new group for attack from the northern direction. It was possible that they could be joined by fighters from the Wagner PMC to attack Kyiv.

Now, as they say in Kyiv, the number of employees of the Wagner group in Belarus has also decreased; they are allegedly being transferred to Africa, where new events are brewing. The same is reported by Lithuanian intelligence, which is closely monitoring what is happening on the territory of Belarus.

Before this, it was noted in Kyiv that Russia uses the military training grounds of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus to train its reserves, which, when ready, are brought into battle on the line of contact in the special operation zone.

The fake story being put out about the precious wonder waffle Challenger is that it hit a mine which only started a gas tank fire and
the crew safely evacuated. After this the tank was supposedly hit by a Russian ATGM.

Supposing that the first stage claim is true, then why would Russian forces destroy the tank instead of taking it as a basically intact
trophy? It's supposed to have super-duper-high-tech armour and shit that backwards Russians would want to investigate.
