Totally agree Paulette! I could say who has the cards now! I just wish they could use them to full advantage and not have all of these land mines placed in their way by our so-called diplomats.

The Bolharychi UAV unit of the 11th Brigade just ran an operation called “Tigers” in occupied Oleshky. Six cats, abandoned and starving, were loaded into a purpose-built cage and flown over 10 km beneath a heavy bomber drone, across the Dnipro, into Ukrainian-held territory. All six landed safely.

They’ll be rehomed. Moscow’s occupation leaves nothing but hunger. Ukraine’s drones bring life back.
