Ukraine. Our land. Given by God. Kissed by the sun. Rocked by the winds. Tempered by fire. Defended by its sons and daughters.
It cannot be mistaken for anything else.
It can never be given away to anyone.

Whenever I listen to Zelenskyy's speeches I think this is what listening to Churchill must have felt like, dude is without a doubt one of the best wartime leaders in quite some time.

Another 115 of our defenders have returned home today. These are warriors of the National Guard, the Armed Forces, the Navy, and the State Border Guard Service.

We remember everyone. We are searching for them and making every effort to bring them all back.

I am grateful to each… pic.twitter.com/XiMAeANsOd

All of the 115 guys freed today were taken POW in the early weeks and months of the full-scale invasion in 2022. All of them are enlisted servicemen or non-commissioned officers.

The list includes 82 (!!!) defenders of Mariupol, including about 50 (!!!!) Azovstal garrison fighters. Also, there are six National Guards who had been taken POW at the Chornobyl NPP.

Ukraine shapes the future of defense tech. We have mortar drones, artillery drones, and now, we introduce a completely new class of weapon — rocket drones. The rocket drone "Palyanytsia" was successfully used today, striking a military target in temporarily occupied territory.

New missle used by the Ukranians, it's a "drone" type of missle, probably the new variant of the Neptune previously reported and mentioned here by me and Ryuu. Here is a tweet with a picture and an article:
