"Out of 32, only 6 returned"
The Ukrainian military recorded a video in which they talk about the plight of their company in the Bakhmut area, but the command forces them to return to their broken positions without any fire support.
"Yesterday we went to positions. We were hit by mortar fire and hailstorms. We were promised support, but there was nothing. Out of 32, only 6 came out. We can’t pick up the bodies, 12 are missing. The command ordered to be understaffed and go back to the positions" , - say Ukrainian fighters.
The military asks for support, while the command considers them simply as a combat unit, which, in case of loss, can be replaced by the next one, and so on .... until the last Ukrainian.
According to the fighters, mentally and physically they were very tired. Prior to this, two weeks ago, their colleagues from the 34th battalion and 3rd company of the 17th battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were defeated at their positions near the furniture factory.
A big shout out to the people who follow me. Unfortunately I’ve had to leave Russia. It became impossible to receive any funds from the US. I am currently living in Batumi, Georgia.
This is my family in the living room of my apartment in Kimovsk, Russia. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. Seventy six years of age. My son Aleksandr (left), and my granddaughter Dasha (center) look in on me. Here, I had hoped to live out my retirement years.
Christmas Day Walk
I went for a walk today. Almost all businesses are closed for Christmas Day. The store that sells Turkish carpets was open so I went in and immediately spotted a beautiful Oriental carpet, bright red, black and gold.
I ask if it was a magic carpet and if it would fly.
The lady answered, “All my carpets are magical. As to whether it will fly, that all depends on what you put in your hookah.”
This is my apartment in Batumi. It’s on the eighth floor and the elevator works most of the time.
I pay 800 lari per month for this two bedroom apartment. That is approximately $294.
I have a fifteen to twenty minute walk to the beach. This is a great town for retirement. There are plenty of beaches to rest when you get tired.
The pink bedroom I call my guest room and it’s where my granddaughter will sleep when she visits me.
