📹 Ukraine uses HOMEBREW CHEMICAL WEAPONS against Russian forces

The infamous Baba Yaga drone dropped a bottle with a substance, recalled one of the Russian soldiers.

“It smelled pungent, like acetone. Then, as you inhaled this sharp smell of acetone, you began gasping for air. It became difficult to breathe, everybody started coughing, and we didn't understand what was going on,” he added.

🪖🗣British troops in Ukraine (if sent) could face European legal prosecution

This warning was expressed by James Cartlidge, the head of the UK's Shadow Cabinet for defense, in a secret letter to British Defense Minister John Healy obtained by the Telegraph.

Cartlidge wrote to Healy urging him to "look at a derogation from the ECHR" for "peacekeeping" troops, according to the report.

Healy dismissed the call, saying that the British contingent "would not be a fighting force but rather provide training to the Ukrainians."

“Abiding by the ECHR will not prevent us from achieving our objectives," Healey said.

Europe seems to be tossing its own laws out of the window...

🔥 Arms of Victory: SU-76 light self-propelled gun

Sputnik highlights the heavy weapons used by the Soviet Army during the Great Patriotic War to overcome Germany.

The SU-76, based on a light tank design, was primarily used to protect Soviet infantry from enemy light and medium tanks.

With over 14,000 units produced, it became the most mass-produced self-propelled gun of WWII. In service since 1942, the SU-76 saw action through to the final Manchurian Strategic Offensive in August 1945.

Despite its light armor, the SU-76's agility and wide range of compatible munitions made it an extremely versatile and efficient weapon on the battlefield. It played a crucial role in advancing Soviet forces during key offensives.

🤯🇷🇺🇰🇵West’s nightmare: Russia-North Korea alliance shines on the Kursk front

North Korean forces ADDED SIGNIFICANTLY to liberating Russia’s Kursk region from Ukrainian units, Alexey Leonkov, a veteran Russian military analyst, tells Sputnik.

🤝Side by side with Russia

🔺North Korea’s ground and special force troops acted in coordination with Russian command, tackling both Ukrainian militants and highly skilled foreign mercenaries who fought on Ukraine’s side.

🔺Fighting in the Kursk region, North Korean soldiers received invaluable combat experience, which will contribute to the North Korean army’s defense capability.

📑Full-fledged treaty

▪️North Korean forces were deployed to the Kursk region in line with the Russia-North Korea Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty, which is seen by the North Korean side as a military alliance.

▪️The document stipulates that if there are attempts by foreign countries to act against North Korea, Russia will help it with all its military might, including nuclear weapons.

▪️The treaty will restrict the US’ push to expand its clout in the Asia¬-Pacific.

🌎Collapse of West’s hopes

🔻North Korean soldiers added to another defeat of the proxy army of Ukraine that the West uses to fight against Russia.

🔻It also means a defeat for the West itself, which failed to achieve anything in the Kursk region except the destruction of Ukraine’s the most combat-ready units.
