well .. great progress here. we've gone from Russia 100% at fault to "mostly at fault". now let's work on the truth .. it was 2/3 US/NATO expansion and 1/3 Russkie Commies got pissed about it and throw in Ukraine and you have .. this.
Is that the reason they invaded Crimea too? how about Afghanistan, years before?

More progress
Ukraine’s recent success in breaking through mined territory near Tokmakin Zaporizhzhya Oblast is likely connected to the latest progress of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Robotyne, believes U.S.-based thinktank Institute for the Study of War(ISW)on Aug. 19.
Followinga drone strike on the Russian Soltsy airbase in Novgorod Oblast on Aug. 18, it is plausible that Russia’s strategic aviation aircraft incurred damage. Images geolocated and released on Aug. 19show smoke emanating from the Soltsy airbase. Russian Defense Ministry sources and other Russian outletsreportedthat a Ukrainian drone was downed, and that fire potentially affected a single aircraft

Further advances in Robotyne. Also, the Tu-22 bomber that was damaged a few days ago om a strike in Russia was confirmed by photos as a Tu-22 and it was absolutely lost rather than damaged.
Unclear if they got two, or just the one

Article doesn't go into it, but multiple reports that Russian air defenses appear to have been employed to shoot down a plane carrying Evgeni Prigozhin, the Butcher of Bakhmut.
He must have been spending too much time on the ground floor.

Oh. I'm not surprised, Devo. This is a great example of what happens when you put your faith in Vlad. Been waiting for the window drop or the poisoning, but taking out a plane with 9 other people on it is a dick move even for Putin.

https://www.newsweek.com/yevgeny-pri...leader-1822007One of the many reasons they ARE our enemies and should be. Putin and his regime of cold-blooded murderers, I mean. Not everyday Russian folks, of course.

I will say this, Vlad knows how to deal with anyone who attempts a coup. We should be taking notes.
