Для написания этого текста пришлось окунуться в массив информации, репортажей, видео и прочего, чтобы вернуться в тот злополучный день.

Отчасти получилось напомнить себе о своих же эмоциях, которые испытывал во время авиаударов по городу. Оглядываясь назад, понимаешь насколько сильно эти 10 лет повлияли не только на окружающую действительность, но и на меня самого.

Тем, кто не знал и тем, кто хочет напомнить себе о том, как все начиналось, мой материал о том, как ВСУ открыли "Ящик Пандоры", который невозможно закрыть и по сей день.

"Texas" fights for Donbass: a great interview with Russell Bentley

He was on his way to Donbass, not even expecting to survive through the winter. Not speaking Russian properly, the American almost immediately found himself in the hot fighting for Donetsk airport. He stayed with his unit to the last until the commander decided to evacuate him with severe pneumonia. In those days Russell dreamed that he was dying under artillery fire, but death caught up with him in his beloved Petrovsky district of Donetsk, where he lived the best years of his life.

He was able to become an integral part of the image of the warring Donbass, which gathered real fighters for justice in one area. Here Russell found his love - an English teacher, a real Orthodox girl. Despite his age, "Texas" was able to write his name in the history of the SMO, becoming the main link between Donbass and the foreigners supporting Russia who sent humanitarian aid through him.

The murder of Russell Bentley in the rear is a real diversion that undermines trust in Russia on the part of, let's be honest, not so many volunteers from abroad. Any delay in investigating the murder of "Texas" plays into the hands of the enemy, who is actively using the death of the warrior as an excuse to discredit the Russian army.

In our interview, filmed in 2019, the volunteer from Texas described what Donbass has become for him, saying perhaps the most important words that have defined his life: "As far away as I am from home now, today I am just as far away (spiritually) from the person I was before coming to Donbass..."

Kitties, the next video I am about to post is much longer than what i usually translate. It took me over a month of work little by little, here and there, and I am finally about done.

Even though this was a decent chunk of work, I had to make it, as this story needs to be seen. Watch and spread...

When I think of Donestk or when I hear of it, I immediately think of Russell. And this will be with me for the rest of my life. That those who have passed beyond or not truly dead, but live on in our memories and our thoughts and our conversations. Donetsk? Russell Bentley's city. That will be with me forever.

Переведено на русский с ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Will V - Forces

Когда я думаю о Донецке или слышу о нём, то сразу вспоминаю Рассела. И так будет происходить до конца моей жизни. Те, кто ушёл за некие пределы, или мы решаем, что они не умерли для нас, продолжают жить в наших воспоминаниях, наших мыслях, наших разговорах. Донецк? Это город Рассела Бентли. Это будет со мной навсегда.

The "most moral army in the world"

"Самая моральная армия в мире" ⬆️
Господи, доколе? 😭

Soldiers in the lsraeli occupation army publish a video of themselves firing tank shells, captioning the video: "When you're 21-year-old kids at
war."

They fire shells randomly at Palestinians and their homes, not at specific targets as the Biden administration claims. They are playing with shells that cost $20,000-$30,000 each, paid by American taxpayers.

You are not children. The real children were killed and burned by your shells. You are war criminals responsible for your actions and you will be held accountable.

Солдаты израильской оккупационной армии публикуют видео, на котором они стреляют из танковых орудий, и подписывают его: «Когда вы 21-летние дети на войне».

Они стреляют снарядами наугад по палестинцам и их домам, а не по конкретным целям, как утверждает администрация Байдена. Они играют со снарядами, которые стоят 20-30 тысяч долларов каждый, оплаченные американскими налогоплательщиками.

Вы не дети. Настоящие дети были убиты и сожжены вашими снарядами. Вы военные преступники, ответственные за свои действия, и вы понесете ответственность.

Which Western countries have authorized Ukraine to strike Russia with its weapons and what will change from this (spoiler: nothing)

Already 13 of Kiev's Western allies, including the US and Germany, have lifted the taboo on strikes with weapons supplied by them against Western-recognized “legitimate” territories deep inside Russia. Denmark has also said that Ukraine will be able to use Danish F-16 fighter jets to strike military targets in Russia, but the first batch of Falcons is not due to arrive until late 2024 and the second batch in 2025. The motivation behind these decisions is rather related to the advancement of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kharkov direction. Readovka analyzed what is really behind these statements and what will change.

The short answer is: nothing. The West has only gone down the path of “legalizing” what is already happening. Kiev has repeatedly used long-range missiles on the Belgorod region and Crimea, and Western kamikaze drones have flown deep into the Russian Federation. It is naive to believe that before this, anyone from the AFU went against its allies and without their approval did “bad deeds” that the same United States has repeatedly tried to launder out. Kiev has at its disposal American long-range land-based missiles ATACMS and GLSDB, whose launches are carried out at the command of the U.S. and according to its intelligence. There are French HAMMER guided bombs and AGM-88B anti-radar missiles, and Franco-British SCALP-EG/Storm Shadow low-observable air-launched cruise missiles.

All these weapons, as well as MLRS, including the Czech Vampire MLRS, which has been used more than once to hit Belgorod, have been and will be used against Russia, and they will also be used to strike peaceful targets, of which the West is aware. Especially since long-range precision weapons cannot be used without space reconnaissance data, with which the allies are also helping Ukraine.

“Discussion” about strikes against Russia still allows NATO to claim that the alliance is not directly involved in military action, but everyone understands everything. It is impossible to provide 100% defense against new threats, except by eliminating its source, but the Russian Federation has something to counter.
