I saw somewhere where some the older people (maybe here) were able to speak Ukrainian with their liberators. Kursk was within the borders of the Ukrainian People's Republic and Cossack Hetmanate. Ukraine's borders should really be much larger. This 100,000 kilometres should be a start.
Is this all in total since the inKursion started or a recent development?
Since the start.
Those are literally 18 year old conscripts on their 2 year national service. Putin swore to high heaven he would never use these troops. Since they are essentially teenagers in a government run summer camp. Considering they are up against the men who fought in Bakhmut, this is akin to taking a Highschool Reserve Officer Corps unit into battle against a Ranger Battalion. Smartest thing those boys did was immediately surrender.
Finally, some new stamps to collect. I have so many of the one flipping the warship off its not even funny
God bless the Ukranian postal service.
They really are quick on the draw.
I missed out on the originals. Maybe these will be available for longer....
That explains the helicopter taking out all those Russian vehicles. He was ensuring they didn’t fall into the hands of the enemy.
I used to think the Russo-Japanese War was the lulziest and most embarrassing… but this is becoming something else altogether.
I have this odd feeling that the POW's will beg to be put as far away from Russia as possible. Never return and all that.
Russia attacks Vuhledar AGAIN
I can't find the specific article I remember reading, but here's an article that mentions a constant presence in the Baltics since around that time:
Better Quality.
The Russians once again decided to play with fire and sent two tanks and one armored vehicle with troops to storm the positions of the Tavriysky paratroopers.
The "suicide bombers" were met by our artillery on the outskirts. And only then did the anti-tankers and operators of attack drones join the battle, and the Russians began to burn.
Our soldiers destroyed a tank and an armored vehicle with troops. 12 occupants burned to the ground. Many more were wounded.
The only tank that survived the attack fled the battlefield in disgrace.
Great work, warriors! Glory to the Airborne Forces! Glory to Ukraine!

Hartia fighters repelled an assault in the Kharkiv region. Five tanks were destroyed and damaged, and four dozen occupants were neutralized.
Ukrainian fighters in the area had to improvise using a highly innovative method to successfully destroy the Russian firing positions at the plant. They salvaged parts from wrecked civilian electric cars to create drones and bombs. Batteries and alternators from electric vehicles like Teslas were repurposed as power sources for drones, helping to sustain the Ukrainian drone force. This resourceful approach enabled them to overcome the limitations imposed by the shortage of foreign military aid and maintain pressure on the Russian positions.
Given the circumstances of the battle of Vovchansk and the disruption of operations by Russian electronic warfare systems, the Ukrainians had to adopt a different approach. They decided to use spare parts from wrecked electric vehicles to create an innovative bomb. This bomb was built using a fully loaded hydrogen fuel cell from a wrecked Toyota Mirai car and weighed over two hundred kilograms. It was capable of inflicting severe damage on Russian defenses, comparable to an aerial bomb.
The hydrogen composition of the bomb enabled it to generate powerful blast waves, fireballs, debris, and mushroom clouds. Since drones were compromised by electronic warfare and the bomb was too heavy for aerial drone delivery, the Ukrainians opted to use a remotely operated ground drone to transport the bomb to the Russian positions.
The ground drone carrying the bomb was sent over a narrow, intact section of a partially destroyed bridge along Metalista Street, just wide enough for the drone to traverse. The bridge’s location to the east of the Aggregate Plant, coupled with the nearby trees that blocked the Russians’ view, prevented the drone from being detected. After crossing the bridge, the drone moved towards the first building to the west within the Aggregate Plant complex.
As the drone approached the building, the bomb detonated, resulting in a powerful explosion that caused significant structural damage.
Explosion of ground drone based Ukrainian bomb, containing 200 kg of a car’s salvaged fuel cell and plastic explosive in Vovchansk, Kharkiv Oblast.
