More About That Snake …

I apologise for earlier posting a fake photo of a Ukrainian flag on Snake Island (“fake” as in not current)

Here is a real one :-)

Well, there’s nothing much else happening at the moment

Meanwhile in Ukraine Russian ammo dumps continue to go boom …
And Ukrainian forces now in easy artillery range of Kherson.
FWIW yesterday was the first day of 133 days of war when Russian forces did not advance …

Hi Itch
it is useful to remind us with all the blood in Downing St., that real blood ( kiddies etc) is being spilt in Ukraine

what DOES khokhly mean by the way - Ukrainians saw it and bombed it.

Morning Peter

That’s interesting. Хохол is Russian for “crest”, especially the one the Cossacks used on their helmets historically. It came to be used as a derogatory term for anyone who spoke Russian poorly (you can see what they thought of Ukrainians)
and tends to be used as a derogatory term for Ukrainians now.
Not surprised it was zapped. Where was it?

I had to draw you in somehow …

From peter's link

"Russian troops trampled the word "Khokhly" on the grass in front of their positions. Thanks to this, they were noticed by Ukrainian intelligence and struck "

Which is why it would be embarrassing (and unlikely) if Ukraine lost a war to that ...
I mean, you might as well paint a large arrow and say "bomb us here"
