Another Ukrainian Tochka ballistic missile that we stumbled upon at the outskirts of Berdyansk city.
This one too, evidently, was armed with a cluster bomb warhead.
Barely a hundred meters away is a major road leading from Mariupol, which is now seeing kilometers-long traffic jams made up of battered vehicles and refugees, who managed to escape Mariupol.
Had this missile arrived here and now, the death toll would have been colossal

"A British man who travelled to Ukraine to join the military fight against Russia's invasion says he left the warzone amid fears he was facing a "suicide mission".
They stayed at a "tiny" safe house which had no beds or running water in western Ukraine with several other volunteers, he added.
Mr Spann told Sky News: "It was like walking into a crack den in England, to be honest with you.
"That was a bit of a shock thinking: 'F** hell, this is the reality'."
Mr Spann said the group expected transport to arrive at the safe house on their third day in Ukraine, so they could collect weapons, but it failed to turn up.
That evening, he said there was a knock on the door of the property and "10 members of a Ukrainian SWAT team" stormed in.
Mr Spann said: "One of our snipers who opened the door got pinned back into the wall opposite him by two ballistic shields.
"We sat there with AK-47s pointed at our heads for 20-30 minutes, with our hands on our heads, whilst they searched everywhere, and we were being sort of interrogated.
"One lad refused point-blank to turn around. He said: 'If you're going to shoot me, I want you to look me in the eye when you shoot me.' It was a surreal moment.
Because the group had not signed up to Ukraine's "foreign legion" of fighters before entering Ukraine, Mr Spann said four armed officials later turned up at the property and took photos of their passports"
Ukrainian animals:
"He said the next day they travelled to a weapons base and saw the bodies of two dead Russian soldiers at a checkpoint "propped up, sat upright with their hats over their faces".

Ukraine: Briton who travelled to warzone to join military fight against Russia leaves over 'suicide mission' fears
Ben Spann tells Sky News he did not tell his wife or teenage son that he was going to Ukraine to "join the resistance" despite the fact he has never served in the military and has no ties to the war-torn country.

"Neo-Nazis are exploiting war in Ukraine for their own purposes
Not since ISIS have we seen such a flurry of recruitment activity."
"Their goal is not to defend Ukraine. Some neo-Nazis simply see this new war as a place to act out their violent fantasies. For others, though, the force pulling them toward the conflict is a shared vision for an ultranationalist ethno-state. They see Ukraine as a golden opportunity to pursue this goal and turn it into a model to export across the world."
"The would-be militants have been recruited by groups like the Azov Battalion, a far-right nationalist Ukrainian paramilitary and political movement. Azov was absorbed into the Ukrainian national guard in 2014 and has been a basis for Putin’s false claim that Ukraine’s government is run by neo-Nazis. Though Azov remains a fringe movement in Ukraine, it is a larger-than-life brand among many extremists. It has openly welcomed Westerners into its ranks via white-supremacist sites. Azov stickers and patches have been seen around the globe: from a bookbag at a July 2020 neo-Nazi counterprotest in Tennessee to the motorcycle of an attempted mosque bomber in Italy."
"D’s motivations seemed even more troubling than MD’s. He wrote, “Anyway when I get to Ukraine I’m going to kill extra Jews now whenever I see them.” Another post read in part, “I’m getting my gear together, hail Hitler, glory to Ukraine and let’s all kill some [expletive] Jews for Wotan!” (Wotan is a god from Norse mythology, which many far-right extremists appeal to in their rhetoric and aesthetics.) D later indicated that he had formed a “group from UK” to head to Ukraine."
"As the administrator of a popular German and English neo-Nazi chat group wrote while urging members to join Azov, “I am not defending Ukraine, I am defending National Socialism.”
"For the most extreme among these neo-Nazis, the plan is even more sinister. They see Ukraine as a chance to further “accelerationist” agendas, which seek to speed up a civilization-wide collapse and then build fascist ethno-states from the ashes. This school of thought is demonstrated vividly by “Slovak,” whom we at SITE consider one of the most influential accelerationist neo-Nazi voices in the far right. On Feb. 25"

If I have not posted in 12 hours, assume that I have been kidnapped by the SBU, and contact the Chilean embassy in Warsaw, Poland.
Tkachev got very lucky he was able to post before they got him, and tell people what happened to him. I might not be so lucky.

‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 Militants of Ukraine's notorious Azov Battalion are planning a terrorist attack on Western diplomats in Lviv, which they, with Kiev's approval, intend to pin on the Russian armed forces in an attempt to pressure NATO into enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine and sending more weapons, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov says.
The information was provided by a surrendered officer of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

CHINA — NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said yesterday that “China has an obligation as a member of the UN Security
Council to actually support and uphold international law and join the rest of
the world condemning Russia's invasion & brutal war against the Ukrainian nation .”
Chinas answer: “We have taken note of relevant remarks. Chinese people can fully relate to the pains and sufferings of other countries because we will never forget who had bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We need no lecture on justice from the abuser of international law. As a Cold War remnant and the world's
largest military alliance, NATO continues to expand its geographical scope and
range of operations. What kind of role it has played in world peace and stability?
NATO needs to have good reflection.”

“NATO peacekeeping mission” really means “NATO invasion of Ukraine and Russia”.
Good luck with that, NATO!

Zelensky used Martial Law powers to ban 11 political parties, including left-wing parties. All in the name of “democracy” 🤡
