Wow. A Ukrainian lady rushed to help rescue a Ukrainian ground robot. She is incredibly cool. Note how she also hid her bike so it wouldn't be visible. God bless her. Ukrainians risk their lives because we are fighting an existential war. Source: 71st Brigade

Zelensky says he tries to do his job so that after the war and his presidency he can still walk Ukraine’s streets without people hating him for having been “a piece of shit and not a leader.” He said wartime leadership involves many mistakes and hundreds of difficult deals every day. #Ukraine

Also today I feel like I have to quote Anastasius Focht: Wars are not won on the field of combat. Battles are, but those are only ever part of the story. To win a war you need to break the enemy's resolve, to force him to accept defeat. Otherwise the war will never end.

Quite shocked by Zelensky’s decision. Fedorov’s removal feels like Ukraine just threw away one of the few reforms that was visibly working. He expanded drones, tightened procurement, challenged corruption, and pushed deep strikes. Replacing him now, with no clear public case, is a terrible look.
