🚘🔥ROLLING UP ON Ukrainian positions to drop off fresh cannon fodder but it doesn’t quite go to plan for this Kiev MRAP as Russian forces immediately make sure it get added to scrap pile with direct hit (00:41), all while Ukrainian army makes 4 failed attacks and loses over 1,230 troops in Donetsk Republic (ex-Ukraine) over past week.

Ukrainian forces also attempt 39 futile attacks in Zaporozhye region (ex-Ukraine) since Monday, taking over 845 casualties and saying goodbye to 27 tanks including UK-supplied Challenger 2.

🇷🇺🌍Half of G20 countries refuse to parrot West’s narrative.

Russia’s G20 Sherpa Lukash explains that BRICS countries and their partners are forging their own path and have huge sway over G20, adding that members have an “intention to act” on global issues.

This Sherpa isn’t the kind that helps rich Westerners up Mount Everest - she’s Russia’s representative in G20 and helped prepare summit.

🇩🇰🇺🇦🇷🇺 NO TOUCHING, THEY’RE VINTAGE! Those Leopard 1 tanks that West’s sending over to Ukraine are so old they’ve become museum pieces - literally, as it emerges that Danish instructors are borrowing tanks from 3 different museums to train Ukrainian cannon fodder.

Instructors that had to come out of retirement to train Kiev’s tank crew resort to using museum Leopard 1s as they were in "better condition" than those in storage that Denmark wants to give Kiev…

🔥Obsolete armor may be old but it's sure to burn just as nicely as newer Western tanks.

What did Biden wanna do? Try to buddy up with Xi, then immediately send Taiwan more weapons and train more Taiwanese troops?
