Jokes contain sometimes truth in more wide sense. As this one, this is what is happening.

491 days alone on the frontline. He amputated his own leg with a knife to survive. And when all hope seemed lost, a drone came to bring him home. This is the extraordinary story of Ukrainian soldier Kostiantyn Vlasenko. Imagine a concrete drainage pipe in almost-occupied territory. Two soldiers inside. Then there is only one left. Without legs. With no hope that anyone will come for him. And so it goes, month after month. Kostiantyn Vlasenko, from Kryvyi Rih, volunteered to fight. He had to beg for a long time just to be called up. He was assigned to a position known as “Vertun” — a concrete drainage pipe converted into a shelter. He and his comrade held it for months. Until one day, his comrade was killed — on his 50th birthday, February 16. Kostiantyn was left alone. The enemy knew he was there. They dropped a speaker playing a recording telling him to surrender. His own side would never save him, they said. A white drone would come for him and take him home. Kostiantyn answered over the radio: “russian warship, go fuck yourself.” And stayed at his position. Then came the explosive drops from enemy drones. His left leg was badly injured, and he twisted his right. His legs began to die. The flesh on his left foot rotted away on its own. He amputated his right foot himself — with a knife, resting it on a brick. “Tears were running down my face. It had to be cut off. So I cut it off,” he recalled. Later, he joked to his commander: “Congratulate me — I no longer have flat feet or size 44 shoes.” When the weather warmed up, he crawled to where his legs had been left behind. There, he saw orange-and-black butterflies swarming around them. “I thought: God, butterflies have come out of my legs, too.” It sounds like something out of a Stephen King novel. And that is no metaphor. His wife had sent him King's The Outsider in a care package. The book helped keep him going, along with thoughts of his daughter, Khrystyna. Then came the rescue. A drone flew in to bring Kostiantyn home alive. The pilot dropped instructions. The drone landed and shut down its engines. Kostiantyn clipped himself on with a carabiner, gave the camera an OK sign and a heart, and took off. As they flew over a river, he feared only one thing: that they would be shot down and he would fall into the water. He couldn't swim. Other drones provided cover. The enemy shot one of them down. But Kostiantyn made it. 491 days at his position. Both legs lost. A drone sent to bring him home alive. And a man who still doesn't consider himself a hero. He says: “I don't like being first. I'd rather be second.” He is alive. He is back on solid ground. His heroism and his story will live on forever.

Russian whistleblowers on Canadian TV news reveal what it's like to work for a troll farm and spread lies about Ukraine and Democrats on social media

RT @JPLindsley: Trump: “Russia Has Been Fine on Ukraine. They Haven’t Been Doing Much.”

Весь світ подивиться в очі цієї української дитини, яка чує сирени та вибухи дронів, снарядів і ракет кожен день.. Московіти ми вас не ненавидимо. Ми вас презираємо.

💔 Lyudmyla was just 32. Yesterday, russia murdered her in the Kyiv suburb of Irpin. Her two little daughters, just 5 and 7, survived. Their home burned to the ground. russia keeps killing Ukrainians every single day. The world must never get used to this.

Russia struck this little girl’s house with a drone the day after I took this photo. Her father and brother were killed. She only survived as she had gone to the kitchen to get water.

BREAKING: WOW! A brave protestor stood up behind JD Vance at a rally and demanded the release of the Epstein files — and Vance's response was DISGUSTING. This man cannot be allowed to become President... While Vance was yammering on about "woke insanity" at an event in North Carolina, a man stood up directly behind him in the crowd and shouted "Release the Epstein files" and “God bless our children!" Security swooped in and quickly dragged him out of the venue, at which point he yelled out that he is an American citizen. Vance, who is an awful retail politician and never quick on his feet in moments like this, awkwardly turned around and looked at the man as the MAGA supporters began to boo. "USA!" chanted the crowd, because apparently these people associate their American nationalism with protecting pedophiles and supporting the most infamous child sex trafficking network in history. Once the man was gone, Vance took a moment to gather his flustered thoughts, and then put that trademark lack of charisma on full display— "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna have to amend something I said earlier... I said that we have had zero illegal border crossings in the United States of America," said Vance. “But one isn’t bad right?” The implication, obviously, was that the protestor was an undocumented immigrant simply because he was nonwhite. This is the rank racism that passes for political thinking in the MAGA movement. Notice how Vance didn't actually address the man's point, and instead pivoted immediately to racebaiting? He knows that the Epstein issue is a radioactive anchor hanging around his neck. When he inevitably runs for President himself, everyone in this country who isn't in the MAGA cult will associate him with the Epstein coverup. Vance chose loyalty to his boss, a demented pedophile whose name is all over the files, over loyalty to the victims and to this country. He's praying that we'll forget. We will not. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Vance is forever stained by Epstein!

Angelina with her mom Inna. Both were killed today by Russia. They should have been alive and they would have been alive… if not for Russia’s war against Ukraine

It’s happening every single day…

RT @JamesAALongman: Russia killed a one year old girl in her stroller today. Her mother died in the hospital a few hours later. https://t.c…

Neem me niet kwalijk terwijl ik even keihard ga janken om deze foto’s, en het besef van wat er op een dag rijden van ons vandaan alledaagse werkelijkheid is. De steun die ze nodig hebben, zo lang ze het nodig hebben.

🇫🇷🇷🇺 French intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russia-linked bot networks are weaponizing the past weekend's violent riots by flooding social media with old, recycled, and AI-generated fake videos of police brutality to provoke the rioters even further. Russian networks like "Matryoshka" are acting as digital opportunistic arsonists, intentionally exaggerating the scale of the chaos to simulate nationwide civil unrest.

This is what those calling for "land for peace" want. Russian occupation means rape, kidnapping, and death. And it doesn’t even mean peace, as Russia would continue its offensive because destroying Ukraine is Putin’s goal.

A russian missile killed an entire Ukrainian family of ten — parents Olena and Artem Voronov and their eight children. Today, five of the children were laid to rest in Radushne, Ukraine. Their parents and three siblings had been buried earlier. May they all rest in peace.

A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well. ​An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children. ​6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.
