I guess a sense of Ukrainian normalcy includes a helping for mystery chicken part nuggets. Maybe we have more in common with Ukrainians than I thought. Poor leadership and bad cuisine makes two commonalities for starters.

Why would we hate the Ukraine enough to put McDonald's back there?

In the western media. Entirely different story is being told in the eastern world. Deliberate misinformation to keep the money flowing. Teenagers drafted in Ukraine with little to no training. 250,000 to 300000 Ukrainian deaths and disabled have occurred by way of leaked Ukrainian peoples. Shelling of Nuclear reactor is a daily Ukrainian effort. I am not a troll. I simply glean information from a variety of sources. Many countries are now siding with Russia and China. Latin America a surprise to many. Ukraine will lay waste to area rather than allowing Russia to secure any benefits of land resources. Who hurts the most? the west. Long cold winter is coming.
The numbers I'm seeing for total Ukranian military and civilian casualties is around 15,000. 250-300K deaths. Even if we rounded that up to 500K, with a 2020 population of 44.5 million they're not hurting yet but they need to keep an eye on things.
I appreciate that you are using multiple sources - that's a good, smart, and wise thing to do. But right now, despite the...well, intense dislike that the Ukranians inspire in some quarters, and their acknowledged political integrity issues, they have shown themselves to be consistently more reliable than the Russians.

^#2, My beef is with Volodymyr and Soros. Ukrainians not so much. Seems a deliberate effort to destabilize these areas. 8 years Putin was pushed. Say what you will about Putin but he stays the course. He wants inspection by NATO to see what the Ukrainians have done to a nuclear site the Russians maintain. The destruction could easily be another Chernobyl.

" suggesting it was being fired from nearby, in Russian-controlled territory", Ukraine has proven their ability to manipulate news. Everyone speaks of Russian propaganda but the Ukrainians are well know to be good at that sort of effort. If you constantly appeal for arms, money and troops you must demonstrate the need. Winter is coming and hopefully hostilities will end soon. Knowing how the Russians can suffer Putin will not back down. He will be there till it is finished. Replace him and one would hope for better days but his replacement could be far worse. Whoever it is will finish where Putin left off. To show strength and will. No room for diplomacy. No room for another Afghanistan- for them or us.

[RIA Novosti] The Russian Defense Ministry has launched a historical multimedia section "Those who stepped beyond the Dnieper", dedicated to the liberation of Dnepropetrovsk in 1943 from Nazi invaders.
On October 23, 1943, the Red Army began one of the last stages of the Battle for the Dnieper - the Dnepropetrovsk operation. The troops of the 3rd Ukrainian Front crossed the Dnieper south and west of Dnepropetrovsk , and then, during a swift night assault, liberated the city. The liberation of the city led to the successful development of the offensive of the Soviet troops to a depth of 100 kilometers, made it possible to form a strategic foothold on the right bank of the Dnieper and created favorable conditions for the liberation of the right-bank Ukraine .
"The next multimedia section "Those who stepped beyond the Dnieper" tells about the exploits of the Soviet soldiers who liberated Dnepropetrovsk. It contains operational documents of the Red Army formations, award materials of the liberators of Dnepropetrovsk, registration cards of military graves, letters from grateful Dnepropetrovsk residents, political reports about the atrocities of the Nazis and collaborators against the civilian population," the department said.
The troops of the 46th and 8th Guards armies were involved in the operation, they included about 100,000 military personnel, 2,000 guns and mortars and only five tanks.
One of the features of the operation was the night assault on the city of Dnepropetrovsk. As noted in the combat log of the 3rd Ukrainian Front, Soviet soldiers were raised in a decisive attack at 3 am on October 25.
"Having broken the stubborn resistance of the enemy, developing the offensive, by 12.00 they stormed a large railway junction and the industrial center of Ukraine, the city of Dnepropetrovsk, the city and the railway station of Dneprodzerzhinsk , advanced from five to 16 km during the day of the battle," the document states.
The war diary of the 152nd Rifle Division states that "the entire burden of the battle fell mainly on the infantry, since the wide water line made it impossible to transport the artillery immediately after the infantry." It also notes that "the attack on Dnepropetrovsk, Dievka and Sukhachevka was so swift that the enemy did not manage to cause significant damage to residential buildings, did not manage to evacuate a significant amount of the property of the city and villages."
The same document describes the defense of the German troops, which "was built on the basis of an extensive network of trenches and communications with bunkers and well-equipped firing points with a wire fence in front of the trenches and minefields."
The Dnepropetrovsk operation was successfully completed on December 23, 1943. By this time, the troops of the 3rd Ukrainian Front had crushed the German strategic line of defense "Eastern Wall" and created on the right bank of the Dnieper a strategic bridgehead about 400 kilometers wide and 100 kilometers deep, which created favorable conditions for the liberation of right-bank Ukraine. This result was preceded by two months of intense bloody battles, which began with the heroic forcing of the Dnieper and the liberation of Dnepropetrovsk.
As emphasized in the Ministry of Defense, the residents of Dnepropetrovsk met the Red Army with great joy - for them, the arrival of a Soviet soldier meant the end of the Nazi hard labor.
The fanaticism of the Nazi invaders is mentioned in a published telegram to the head of the Political Directorate of the 3rd Ukrainian Front, Major General Rudakov.
"In Dnepropetrovsk, out of 600,000 people before the war, 30,000 Soviet citizens remained during the German occupation, and by the time the city was liberated from the German invaders, there were 2-3,000 people in it. The rest were brutally tortured and killed, driven into fascist penal servitude or fled from the persecution and bullying of fascist scoundrels," the document says.
Another example of fascist cruelty is presented in a special message from the head of the NKVD troops for the protection of the rear of the 3rd Ukrainian Front. The archival material reveals the details of the mass killing of patients in the largest psychiatric hospital in Ukraine, located in the Dnepropetrovsk region , in the village of Karl Marx (Igrenskaya hospital). It is reported that German officers from the Gestapo arrived here, who demanded that the director of the medical institution kill 1,300 Soviet citizens who were being treated. Ukrainian collaborators, fearing Nazi reprisals, began to inject deadly poison into patients.
"Thus, during the period of occupation by the Germans of the village of Karl Marx, out of 1,300 people who were treated in the Igrensk psychiatric hospital, up to 1,000 people were killed by a team of doctors on the direct instructions of the Gestapo."
After the liberation of Dnepropetrovsk by the troops of the 3rd Ukrainian Front, Soviet citizens immediately began to restore peaceful life. As noted in the above telegram to Major General Rudakov, the head of the Political Directorate of the 3rd Ukrainian Front, already "on the second day after the Red Army units entered the city of Dnepropetrovsk, the local authorities had the opportunity to put the power plant and the city water supply into operation." Such an early restoration of the city's life support systems was due to the swiftness of the Soviet offensive.
The publication from the funds of the Central Archive of the Russian Ministry of Defense of declassified documents about the liberation of Dnepropetrovsk, about the atrocities of the Nazis against the inhabitants of the city, about the exploits of Soviet soldiers-liberators is aimed at protecting and protecting historical truth, at counteracting falsifications of history. Good luck finding the documents because the most likely location of these material are in nredsta.ru which is blocked by our security services.
Prisoners of Russian prisons began to fight against Ukraine in the Russian army.
The worst kind of cannon fodder, and untrained to boot. This does not bode well for the Russian blitzkrieg.
Several died today near Bakhmut (Donetsk region).
This was reported in the Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Ukrainian fighters neutralized three occupiers. Everyone had a token with a number.
"Apparently, they expected a pardon when they were hired, but at best they received a "Kalina 200", if there is someone to receive it. But tokens were issued," StratCom noted.
It will be recalled that at the beginning of July it became known that the Russian private military company "Wagner" undertook to recruit for the war in Ukraine the prisoners of two colonies of St. Petersburg ("Yablunivka" and "Obukhova") to help in "detecting Nazis."
According to Ukrainian intelligence, in 2 months, the Communist Party of Ukraine plans to recruit up to 10,000 "volunteers" among convicts and send them to fight in Donbas. One of the main tasks of such units will be to establish control over the roads in the direction of Izyum - Sloviansk - Bakhmut. Such "soldiers" must wear special tokens that will indicate their status.

23:07 The United States at a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant proposed to withdraw Russian troops from the territory of Ukraine, and also supported the idea of sending an IAEA mission to the conflict zone, but "subject to the observance of Ukraine's sovereignty."

Gromov added that Russia invites foreign representatives from Syria, Mali, Laos and Uzbekistan to the training grounds of Belarus, who can also be thrown into battle against Ukraine: “There are suspicions that on the eve of the Independence Day of Ukraine, Russia may arrange a provocation death of foreigners, in order to demonize the Armed Forces of Ukraine and finally involve Belarus in hostilities."
