I saw that yesterday, Belarus claims to have shot down a Ukrainian missile over their airspace. It was likely an errant defense missile, assuming that it wasn't a false flag for Belarus and Russia to sell the war to the Belarus public. No injuries or deaths, but Belarus is playing the victim card pretty hard.

Poor poor Belarus. Forced to shoot down a defensive missile originating from the country they sent both well wishes on the anniversary of their independence and the invading Russian army. Hope they're doing ok.

Another really good one from Vice, this time from Bakhmut. Between this one and the Kraken video, there has been some incredible videos in the last few days.

This was broadcast a few days ago. By far, Zelensky's most powerful speech yet. Well worth the watch from start to finish.
There can be no doubt that Ukraine must win. The choices are clear: win, or die by the russian terrorists. Period.
This speech has gotten pretty much all Ukrainians invested and reinvigorated to do what it takes to win. Let's hope the Western allies sack up, stop p#ssy footing around with fears of EsCaLaTiON and start treating russia like the terrorist state it is.

I don't have the appropriate words to add. Brillant, emotional, rallying, these all seem trivial. This speech has a presence and a soul. I don't believe in god but if I did my daily prayers would be for this man and the safety of Ukraine.

I'm pretty sure the "needless" part was invading Ukraine in the first place.

There was a moment last night at the dome where a representative of https://saveukrainianhockeydream.org/ was speaking from what seemed like prepared notes. There were a couple of natural pauses for applause in the speech, but when the crowd erupted after "Ukraine still fights for its independence -" it was a pretty powerful moment. Credit to the speaker she kept it together for the rest of her remarks but it was clear to me anyway she had been moved by the reaction. I was proud of my fellow fans and Calgarians.

I wonder of any got video of that? Would be cool to see.
An apparent Ukrainian strike in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine appears to have killed a large number of Russian troops, according to the Ukrainian military and pro-Russian military bloggers and former officials.
The strike took place just after midnight on Sunday, New Year’s Day, on a vocational school housing Russian conscripts in Makiivka, in the Donetsk region, according to both Ukrainian and pro-Russian accounts.
The attack has led to vocal criticism of Moscow’s military from pro-Russian military bloggers, who claimed that the troops lacked protection and were reportedly being quartered next to a large cache of ammunition, which is said to have exploded when Ukrainian HIMARS rockets hit the school.
The Ukrainian military said later on Monday that the number of Russian servicemen killed in Makiivka is “being clarified” after claiming earlier that around 400 Russian soldiers were killed and a further 300 were wounded. It has not directly acknowledged a role in the strike. CNN cannot independently confirm those numbers or the weapons used in the attack.

I saw the interview with her and a few of the players, but would love to see video of this speech. I didn’t know she addressed the crowd.
