Transport Minister Pete Buttigieg has formed a panel of "leading experts" to advise on "transport equality", among them those who argue that cars cause climate change and promote racism and should therefore be phased out.
Note: I'm sorry, what? What are you guys smoking over there in America that's pushing you so hard?
What is transportat equity? Is it subtract and divide again?

"Education won't save the country! Join the UAF!"

Such leaflets are handed out near one of Kharkov universities.

Why do slaves need education?
@Slavyangrad

You know what's the strangest thing about Slavic countries?
The current war shows it perfectly.
You were born in Russia, you grew up in Russia, but due to your personal convictions, the regime shouts "Glory to Ukraine" and learns the Ukrainian language. And oppa! You became a Ukrainian!
Learn Polish? Suddenly you become Polish. And it works the other way around, too.
Literally a reference illustration to the concept of absence of ethno-cultural border between Ukrainians and Russians, the Eastern Slav has an option of independent choice: today he is a Russian, tomorrow he changed his mind and became a Ukrainian, and nothing prevents him to change his mind again and become a Belarusian. Move to the Western Slavs - language + faith....

A family of idiots, Jesus.

Situation in the Zaporozhye direction at 10:10 (Moscow time)

Rabotino settlement - complete calm, no enemy movements; the southern part remains a grey zone. The 82nd AFU Brigade is experiencing difficulties with evacuation and holding positions due to heavy artillery fire.

With the efforts of paratroopers and marines, the enemy's advance has been halted, and the line of contact has stabilized. Electronic warfare  is actively in operation.

In the morning, we successfully destroyed a "Leopard" tank and a T64 tank using ATGMs (Anti-Tank Guided Missiles).

Offensive actions in the Verbovoye area have not yielded success; reserves are being deployed there.
