The Russian army has lost its best-trained units and a huge amount of military equipment during its unprovoked war against Ukraine. It has become obvious that Putin will not be able to achieve his original goals. This is prompting him to commit terror: nuclear, chemical environmental terror to inflict the maximum possible damage to Ukraine, Dispatches, IFBG.Nuclear terror has become a characteristic feature accompanying the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine. Russian troops are systematically shelling and mining the territory and vicinity of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which was captured last March.

And they don’t want to give in to Tuberville’s demands and encourage similar blockades of nominees in the future.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said that holding up the promotion of military leaders, most of whom have dedicated their lives to protecting the country, “is one of the most ...
