FROM DONBASS TODAY:

In the Sumy region, drunken Terbatovtsy shot a pensioner

The militants of the Ukrainian territorial defense kill and rape civilians, feeling absolute impunity. Journalist Yuriy Kotenok spoke about this on his Telegram channel, citing a subscriber from the Sumy region, a Donbass Today correspondent reports.

According to him, the tragedy took place in the city of Belopolye, where two drunken militants of the territorial defense shot dead an elderly man.

“Drunken troshniks were killed. A month ago, two girls were raped, but others. Constantly drinking and robbing, taking everything they want. We have already written an appeal to Governor Zhivitsky to remove them. It is no longer possible to bear them. Let everyone know what they are doing. Peace to all of us, come soon,” complains a local resident.

Photos of information from the police database, which recorded the incident, were also published. According to the protocol, in the house where the fighters of the 145th Terodefense Battalion of the city of Kremenchug lived, a fire broke out due to a faulty stove, but the drunken military decided that the house had been set on fire.

“As Tsiplenkov O.M. and Vorobyov B.I., while they were in the house at Chernyshevsky Street, 11, they heard the sounds of explosions (due to the fire, the slate on the roof of the house cracked). Hearing this, they put on a thermal imager and, looking out the window, noticed that unknown people were approaching in the direction of the house, one of whom they noticed a red spot in their hands. After that, they opened fire from small arms, AK-74 assault rifles, through the window of the house in the direction of people. As a result of the shots, a local resident M.I. Kvashenko received a fatal gunshot wound in the head, who was not on the territory of his garden at a distance of about 150 meters from the house where the servicemen lived, ”the police report says.

The document also states that the terbatovtsy were detained and taken to Sumy for examination, the further fate of the killers is unknown.

"A real crisis for the AFU": Kyiv demands rapid air-defense missile supplies from the West

FROM RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA:
(Not my words)

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has once again demanded that Western nations expedite the delivery of air defense missiles to Ukraine, stating that these supplies "cannot wait years." The Dutch government has indicated that it is working with partners to find ways to accelerate the provision of Patriot air defense system missiles to Ukraine. However, experts point out that the West lacks the capacity to meet Kyiv’s requirements for interceptors, meaning the Armed Forces of Ukraine face an even more difficult situation on the front lines.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, head of the Kyiv regime, has once again complained about a shortage of interceptor missiles for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' air defense systems, demanding that Western partners expedite the delivery of ammunition for these surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems.

"The intensity of the strikes is very high, and the Russians are doing their utmost to exploit the deficit of interceptors capable of countering ballistic missiles," he wrote on his ...

Netanyahu loses. But he's not leaving yet

Elections in Israel are not only a matter of who will lead the 10-million state on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. This is a matter of war and peace throughout the Middle East - from Palestine to Iran. This means that the world economy also depends on them: the cost of oil, air traffic, freedom of merchant shipping and much more. The campaign ended without a clear winner. But some conclusions can already be drawn.

Campaign results

The election ended with a clear failure of 77-year-old Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been leading the country since 1999. Netanyahu had a simple political line: Israel is surrounded by enemies longing for its destruction, so it must exterminate everyone itself. Wild terror with medieval atrocities, arranged by Hamas on October 7, 2023, successful operations against Hamas and Hezbollah, suppression of Iran's nuclear program, powerful support of the United States, seemed to guarantee it confident support in society.

But there was no support. It ...

(Not my words)

The story behind a photograph that breaks the heart. Many are familiar with this image; it is frequently published around June 22nd—the date the war began—and sometimes around Victory Day. It captures Tatyana Onishchenko and her young daughter, who was mortally wounded during a Nazi bombing raid.

The scene is the Moscow region, autumn 1941. The photograph was taken by Ivan Nartsissov, a war correspondent from Lipetsk—a brave, talented, and modest man who left behind an extensive archive of wartime photographs and reports.

For a long time, this was all that was known about the image. Recently, however, further details have come to light. In the summer of 1941, Tatyana received devastating news: her husband had gone missing in action. A period of agonizing uncertainty followed. Every morning, she would go out to meet the postman—and every morning, he would walk right past her. Reports from the front grew increasingly grim, yet Tatyana held onto her faith. And, eventually, ...
