🇮🇱🇱🇧🇱🇧Beirut after the Israeli attacks.

At least 254 people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured.

On April 9, 1945, the Soviet troops' Königsberg operation concluded. The garrison of the capital of East Prussia surrendered. According to established practice, the attacking troops should have concentrated forces three times greater than those of the defenders. The Soviet troops captured Königsberg with forces only slightly exceeding the garrison of the fortress city. The Red Army was no longer fighting with sheer numbers, but with skill.

It took three days to capture the city (the defense of Stalingrad, which did not have strong fortifications, lasted four months). On April 9, on the orders of General Lash, the Königsberg garrison surrendered (more than 90,000 soldiers and officers). The Wehrmacht lost more than 40,000 people (the Red Army - less than 4,000 people).

To mark the brilliant conclusion of the operation, Moscow saluted with 24 volleys from 324 guns (the highest category of salute). A medal "For the Capture of Königsberg" was also established, and 98 military units received the honorary title of "Königsberg".

Elon Musk's father considers Putin a rational, stable, and confident leader.

"I would be very happy to see them (with Trump - TASS note) talking again. They would quickly reach an agreement, not necessarily an agreement that would please other people," said Errol Musk in an interview with TASS.

Trump is scum though.
