Ukraine: The small town which managed to block Russia's big plans
It was one of the most decisive battles of the war so far - a ferocious two-day struggle for control of the farming town of Voznesensk and its strategically important bridge.
Victory would have enabled Russian forces to sweep further west along the Black Sea coast towards the huge port of Odesa and a major nuclear power plant.
Instead, Ukrainian troops, supported by an eclectic army of local volunteers, delivered a crushing blow to Russian plans, first by blowing up the bridge and then by driving the invading army back, up to 100km, to the east.
As on so many frontlines in Ukraine, British-supplied anti-tank missiles proved crucial in turning the tide against Russian armour in Voznesensk, leaving the town littered with up to 30 tanks, armoured cars and even a helicopter.
"It's only thanks to these weapons that we were able to beat our enemy here. And we say thank you to our partners for their support. But we need more. The enemy's convoys will keep coming," said Mr Velichko.

The West is close to doing all it can while not entering a war with Russia itself. Maybe a a war between NATO and Russia will be beneficial for the Ukraine in the short term, it won't be for the world as a whole.

Up 14% in one month.... But, to be honest, bitcoin gained a bit too. Less though.

The question is, who's giving it. The companies, or the US government (already paid for it and now ordering replacements).

The weapons are about as free as the Marshall Plan was.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Russia said phase 1 objective for the special military operation in Ukraine has been achieved (whatever it means). The operation now is focussing on the Donbas region (the eastern Ukraine region, currently occupied by pro-Russian group)
