Another surprise from Ukraine?

Illia Ponomarenko of the Kyiv Independent is the most wired in to the government reporter in Ukraine. He and several others keep dropping hints something big is coming:

I don't know anything but I would think they'd want to secure the nuclear plant.


He also has an invitation for everyone;

Unconfirmed rumor about the Donetsk Airport

I'm posting it because today probably every rumor about the UAF is true. Ukraine lost the airport in 2014.

He's usually pretty good. Just don't know. The airport is right by the city.

Ukraine offensive in the east.

Astonishing things are happening in Eastern Ukraine as we speak. The Kherson offensive was not Ukraine's only strategic plan.
Listen to the news to see if the city of Krupyansk is liberated. What's happening in the east is breath taking.

Ukraine issues stamps celebrating Patron the sapper dog.

I know some people enjoyed my posts about Ukraine's sapper dog hero Patron. Last week the Ukraine government issued a set of stamps honoring Patron. They are available from Amazon for about $25. Proceeds will go to a demining machine and then to aid animal shelters. They say it may take several weeks for the stamps to arrive. I intend to frame mine when they do.
Here is the link on Amazon:
