We thank the “Ministry of Defense” of 🇷🇺 for successful cooperation in organizing the "Izyum 2.0" exercise. Almost all russian troops deployed to Lyman were successfully redeployed either into body bags or into 🇺🇦 captivity. We have one question for you: Would you like a repeat?

Unless they want an unpleasantly hot summer break, we advise our valued russian guests not to visit Ukrainian Crimea. Because no amount of sunscreen will protect them from the hazardous effects of smoking in unauthorised areas. 🎶Bananarama

Half a year has passed since the russian occupiers were driven out of the Kyiv region. Ukrainians are cleaning up the mess. Step by step. House by house. This will continue to be the case - until complete victory over russian darkness and tyranny.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is wondering why russian soldiers are still sitting in muddy trenches rather than running to the aid of their comrades on both sides of the conflict. That would be far safer than confronting the Ukrainian army.

When we win this war, history will remember those who stood by our side in our darkest hour; as well as those who openly supported the aggressor. But most of all, it will remember those who stood idly by and pretended they didn’t see a genocide happening in the middle of Europe.

The weather forecast says it is going to be very hot in Crimea. It's time for the rus invaders to prepare for a swim. It takes a lot of strength to swim to Sochi or Yeysk. BTW the Guinness Book of World Records may include a new record for the longest open water swim.
