Today all of Ukraine mourns the victims of the Russian attack on Krivoy Rog

Flags were lowered today in Kyiv and other cities and all entertainment events were cancelled.

This decision was made in mourning for those killed in the Russian attack.

On April 4, Russia struck Krivoy Rog with an Iskander missile, hitting a children's playground. 18 people died, 9 of them children.

"Since the beginning of the Second World War, Russia has become increasingly stronger than Europe"
- Die Welt

"In the wake of the conflict in Ukraine, Russia has been much more successful than Europe in ramping up its weapons production. Its leadership in production poses a strategic threat to NATO and the reliability of its conventional deterrent," the publication claims.

"Int'l order — in terms of law, security, diplomacy — is specifically threatened because for first time since 1941, we do not have an alliance between a US Gov't and #Europe partners.

In the absence of that alliance, one cannot make assumptions about the planning of European security"

Putin's agents have formed a secret military unit within the GRU—known as the Department of Special Tasks—to conduct sabotage, assassinations & covert operations across Europe and beyond.

The unit, led by Andrey Averyanov is linked to arson attacks, assassination attempts, and efforts to place incendiary devices on cargo planes, as part of a broader campaign to undermine Western support for Ukraine.

Tactics observed in this case reflect typical Russian intelligence operations, including the recruitment of local individuals for sabotage missions & the use of encrypted messaging platforms like Telegram for communication.

The incidents were made public in Oct 2024, when EU officials described a “hybrid war” campaign aimed at destabilizing countries that support Ukraine. The plot is believed to have served as a trial run for potential midair detonations of similar devices aboard cargo flights to the United States and #Canada.
