France has detained a Russian terrorist who planned to blow up a cargo with military aid to Ukraine amid the arrival of President Zelensky in the country. The French PNAT anti-terrorism prosecutors office detained a Russian agent who intended to blow up military equipment intended for delivery to Ukraine. This was reported by Le Journal du Dimanche media. The name of the detainee has not been given. According to Le Figaro, he is a 26-year-old man who was born in Donbas, held a pro-Russian position, and "fought for the Russian army for two years." During the search in his room, materials for making explosive devices, small arms, several passports, and cell phones were found. The suspect was detained "immediately" after he accidentally detonated acetone peroxide in a hotel room while attempting to build an improvised explosive device. He was taken to hospital with burns and arrested on June 5 on charges of participation in a terrorist criminal association and possession of explosives. 📹 France 3 Normandie

This is an act of compassion Haha great idea

I'm so confused about why the post you quoted says "-Matt" when it doesn't say that in his original post.

I wouldn't say optimistic- just less pessimistic than a month or so ago. The influx of weapons along with policy and rhetoric shifts have contributed significantly to this change.

The orc is crying that they are being killed in the Kharkiv region, that they are sitting without water and food. Their commanders are butchers. For a week they were given one loaf of bread. They collect rainwater. He says he's hallucinating because he hasn't drunk water for a long time. He also writes that he wants to die.

26% of Fort Worth’s single family homes are owned by companies
KYHorn replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
It's also worth considering why supply hasn't kept up in a way that disincentivizes institutional/corporate interest. An approach that discourages this corporate behavior in the short term but also addresses supply issues for the long term is probably a healthy balance. -

KYHorn replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
It's definitely a problem, but they admitted this number likely included investors who own one or a few rental homes: I also didn't love the way the article was written. They define owner-occupied homes but don't mention it anywhere else, so are they just using it as a binary owner-occupied vs commercially owned? If so, where do the individual investors who don't have LLCs but just own under their own name and don't live at the address (meeting 2/3 of the criteria for "commercially owned") get lumped? That makes me wonder if the "AND" in the "commercially owned" inclusion criteria was actually used as an OR. On the other hand, perhaps they had additional categories that aren't being defined here, in which case, the only caveats that need to be addressed are the individual investors who are protecting themselves using an LLC for a couple of houses, and the fact that many homes are passed on to children through trusts for any number of reasons but are not commercially owned in the way they seem to be indicated. A better breakdown is needed, but I agree that corporate ownership is a problem that needs to be addressed. My understanding is that is was particularly bad in the first 2 years of COVID. -
https://x.com/JulianRoepcke/status/1797915578331808008?t=j43jTy5jM2VMR3nPLt2Qlg&s=19 This admin needs to decide which side of history they want to be on. History will already look disfavorably on their overriding fear of escalation that has been repeatedly proven unfounded. Continuing down this path will reward Russia with Ukrainian land. I hope they actually present a thorough plan for Ukraine as required by the last aid bill, and I hope it concludes with Ukrainian victory.

It appears Russia are now struggling to even get to the 1st lines. This is the way it should be. It’s things like attacking the Russian rear, cutting off supply lines and destroying formations before they cross the border which will allow us to regain the initiative, largely caused by the Shell Hunger and our inept understanding that Russia has declared war on not just UKraine, but the entire West!

No gore, but not a pleasant video. Russian "Z-bloggers" share a video where Russian soldiers are humiliating Ukrainian PoWs. According to preliminary information, this took place in the Kharkiv direction where Russians are attempting an offense. The video notes beatings, humiliation, threats, imitation of shooting. Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets has written official letters to International Red Cross Committee and the UN so they file this fact.

"Denys Yaroslavsky, commander of a reconnaissance battalion in Ukraine’s 57th Brigade, entered the border town of Vovchansk on May 2, accompanied by four battalions of exhausted troops. Fresh from the battlefield in a different northeastern city, they soon realized their new positions were the first line of defense — and that only 200 troops were already stationed in the town. When Russian forces pushed in just over a week later, he said, 'we lost almost the entire battalion.'" @AlexHortonTX @siobhan_ogrady @michaelbirnbaum @nakashimae Kostiantyn Khudov washingtonpost.com/national-secur… "Yaroslavsky and his reconnaissance battalion were hunkered down in Vovchansk just hoping to survive. That day, he said, his troops weathered an 'insane' number of glide bomb strikes — more than 40 in 24 hours." "Kozhemyako, the founder of Khartia, also said his troops had suffered punishing hits as Washington deliberated the policy shift. Over the past 20 days, he said, they have come under 250 glide bomb strikes, attacks so powerful that even those who are not badly wounded or killed are often traumatized and concussed by the shock waves. After the airstrikes, Russian ground troops then storm their positions, he said."

A Russian supply base in the industrial district of Shebekino, Belgorod Region, Russia, was wiped out this morning. In the debris field, parts of a missiles can be seen. Russian propaganda initially claimed that a civilian market was hit, but the location is neither civilian nor the debris seen on the pictures. It proves that Ukrainian Forces are starting to destroy Russian military support bases for their incursion in Kharkiv Region. Coordinates of the impacts: 50°24'38.61"N, 36°54'21.95"E Source of pics: Telegram / Fonartv Russian S-300/400 air defence system battery was targeted by HIMARS in the Belgorod region of Russia: “The video shows the result of the strike on the S-300/400 air defense system in the Belgorod region. The strike was carried out using the HIMARS MLRS. Presumably, without casualties among personnel. 01-02.06.2024”

An overview of Ukrainian attacks with both missiles and drones (long-range UAVs and naval drones) in and around occupied Crimea during 2024 that caused confirmed damage. In recent weeks, Ukraine has increased the pace of attacks, through new ATACMS deliveries, but also through the use of its own drones and missiles, especially in the south and southeast of Crimea. This is how it should be done:

The President of France, Emmanuel Macron is expected to announce the Establishment of a “Coalition of the Willing” during a Speech given during the D-Day Memorial Celebrations in France on June 6th, with this Coalition expected to include Lithuania, Britain and several other European Countries that Support the Deployment of Military Instructors to Ukraine. Instructors and Trainers from these Countries would then begin arriving in Ukraine shortly after or even before the Speech, with French Training Advisors claimed to possibly already be at Facilities in Western Ukraine.

Blinken and the larger administration's messaging has been so inconsistent and unclear on this but they seem to be moving ever so slowly (their MO for the duration of this war) in the right direction (see NYT article below).

Blinken is urging the president to lift restrictions on how Ukraine can use American arms. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/politics/white-house-ukraine-weapons-russia.html#:~:text=Inside the White House%2C a,Ukraine can use American arms.

Interesting shakeup here.
