The German Ambassador has been summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow over the leaked German Military plans to attack Russia's Crimean bridge with German Taurus missiles.

After demining, the systematic work of assault groups will begin, which should comb the territory of the plant to check if any of the Nazis or foreigners are hiding in some caches, so that later they can quietly escape from Azovstal by changing into civilian clothes.

This video shows how the Earth may have looked like in the distant past. The reconstruction of plate tectonics is based on paleomagnetic data, though may be inaccurate before 1000 Ma. The temperature, atmospheric composition, and length of day are also given, though these are estimates based in part on disputable models (notably the overhyped "greenhouse effect").
Still, this gives a fascinating preview of how our planet changed over the ages, and how much it used to be different from the Earth we know today. It is also, naturally, a warning that our present Earth will keep on changing in the future, and become as foreign to our present selves as the past Earth used to be. Nothing can prevent this, nothing can prevent climate from changing.

Nationalists are still true to their principles. Out of hundreds of houses, they find the one where civilians are still hiding, and later they take up firing positions there. If they can't hold out properly, they instantly upgrade their wardrobe from camouflage to more mundane. As you can see in these shots, Natsiks do not always manage to change their style of clothing painlessly.

Most of Mariupol is under the control of the Russian armed forces.
The servicemen said that after mobilisation the Ukrainians are sent to the front line with little or no training in order to replenish units of the AFU. But the low motivation and lack of fighting spirit of the new soldiers do not allow the AFU to achieve any successes, and entire companies of servicemen refuse to take part in combat operations.
▫️ Ukrainian servicemen noted that they were deceived by their commanders and did not know what task they had to fulfil, so when confronted with Russian units they immediately surrendered without offering any resistance.
▫️ All prisoners emphasised the decent attitude of the Russian servicemen and thank them for providing medical assistance.
