Day 11 of my updates from Kharkiv, my previous post can be found at the link above.
The fighting today was especially intense. Aircrafts were flying around almost the whole day. All kinds of weapons were heard, there might have been a breach as we heard guns being fired, as well as tanks and airstrikes.
Starting from 11 pm extremely loud sounds of explosions were heard throughout the whole city, our building was shaking almost non-stop, it almost felt like windows were about to break from the shockwaves, thankfully they withstood them.
There’s still some distant sound of explosions and it has been 3 hours already since it started, now it’s mostly quiet, today was definitely the scariest day yet. As always we won’t know what actually happened until tomorrow, hopefully they won’t start again tonight so we can finally rest.

Russian troops fired at and robbed Swiss journalist Guillaume Briquet. While working in the Mykolaiv region, his car with PRESS marking was shot, he was dragged from it.
Russian invaders took away the passport, 3000 euros, personal belongings, a helmet, the material filmed on the camera, and the laptop. He is currently safe in a Ukrainian hospital.

How in the hell does Russia have the nerve to warn other countries that Ukraine is not allowed to use their airfield, when Russia literally is launching an attack through a foreign country and using their airfields, what a joke.

I wonder if Putin even realizes that every bomb and missile he aims at Ukraine only serves to forge the steely resolve in the people of Ukraine and their allies.
Your time is coming Vladimir, and it’s coming soon.

Russia is hemorrhaging military equipment like armor and trucks at an absurd rate. this is all mostly Soviet vintage sure but that's exactly the point - the Soviet Union could churn it's factories to replace the losses whereas the sick, emaciated Russian Federation can't, not even close.
Basically they are using their huge stockpile of Soviet weaponry and leveraging that as part of their land grab but the longer this goes the more their stockpiles will run out and then those once impressive Russian inventory numbers will erode and make them geopolitically weaker than when they started.

Zelensky has a tradition of laughing at Putin. Before becoming President, Zelensky was the most popular Russian-speaking comedian in Ukraine.
Here’s his old sketch — Zelensky jokes about Putin’s orders to send troops to defend so-called Russian-speaking people

From the Bloomberg article being quoted:
“President Vladimir Putin said again on Sunday the war will continue until Ukraine accepts his demands and halts resistance, dimming hopes for a negotiated settlement. Putin says Ukraine must “demilitarize” and he has made clear his goal is to remove the current government.
In a call with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Putin also repeated his assertion that the “special military operation” he launched in Ukraine on Feb. 24 is going to plan, according to a Kremlin statement.
A second failed attempt to create safe passage for some 200,000 civilians trapped in the besieged eastern port city of Mariupol only underscored the humanitarian disaster that’s unfolding in Ukraine. The United Nations said on Sunday that more than 1.5 million people have already fled the country since hostilities began.
Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke with Putin in Moscow on Saturday, then flew onto Berlin to see German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Bennett spoke again with Putin on Sunday amid a flurry of phone calls by leaders to Putin and to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the effort to de-escalate a conflict that promises to exact heavy costs for Europe and the global economy, as well as for Ukraine and Russia.
French President Emmanuel Macron also spoke with the Russian leader on Sunday to discuss the safety of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants.
While Russia has committed almost all of the ground forces it assembled for the attack on Ukraine, it has been hobbled by poor planning and logistics. Still, it has yet to bring a fraction of its artillery, electronic warfare, drone and combat aircraft capabilities to bear.”

Reminder for the shills I’m still seeing pop up in these threads: Ukraine is a sovereign land. Russia is committing war crimes by invading it. Your propaganda isn’t working because we can see what is happening with our own eyes. Go cry to Daddy Putin and stop wasting everyone’s time.
