Vladimir Putin now has “no option” but to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine
A secret CS:GO bunker is sharing newspaper reports on the war in Ukraine to dodge Russian censorship
A Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map is being used to sneak information about the ongoing invasion of Ukraine to Russian gamers. Players can download the de_voyna map, which recreates an abandoned Eastern European city that’s not too dissimilar to the war-torn streets you might find in other multiplayer maps. The difference here is a secret underground room that contains information about the invasion: headlines, maps, newspaper clippings, and images of the war.
Ukraine Is Now Using Steam Decks To Control Machine Gun Turrets
In the TPO footage, the Sabre is firing what appears to be a PKT belt-fed machine gun. The PKT is a heavy barrelled machine that doesn’t have a stock and is typically mounted on vehicles like armored personnel carriers. It uses a solenoid trigger so it can be fired remotely, which is the cable running out of the back of the gun and into the complex of metal and wires on the side of the turret.
The Sabre system wasn’t always controlled with a Steam Deck […]. The first instances of the weapon appeared in 2014. The U.S. and the rest of NATO is giving Ukraine a lot of money for defense now, but that wasn’t the case when Russia first invaded in 2014. To fill its funding gaps, Ukrainians ran a variety of crowdfunding campaigns. Over the years, Ukraine has used crowdfunding to pay for everything from drones to hospitals. One of the most popular websites is The People’s Project, and it’s there that the Sabre was born. The People’s Project launched the crowdfunding campaign for Sabre in 2015 and collected more than $12,000 for the project over the next two years. It’s initial goal was to deploy 10 of these systems.

PARENTS hug children brought back to Ukraine after being taken to Russia from territories occupied by Moscow.

Mr Kuleba praised the “heroic mothers” who retrieved their kids.
Over 16,000 Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia since the invasion, Kyiv says.
Russia denies the allegations.
The children had been taken from the pro-Western country’s northeastern region of Kharkiv and the southern region of Kherson, said Save Ukraine, which fights what it says are illegal deportations of Ukrainian children.
On Friday, the charity said the children and their relatives had crossed the border into Kyiv-controlled territory.
According to footage released Friday, the children, who carried suitcases and bags, crossed the border on foot and later boarded a bus to continue their journey.
One elderly woman who was supposed to bring home two grandchildren had died from “stress”, Kuleba added.
Writing on Facebook, he said the Ukrainian relatives had been subjected to a “13-hour interrogation” by Russia’s FSB security service.
Last month, the International Criminal Court announced an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on the war crime accusation of unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children.
The Hague-based court also issued a warrant against Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia’s presidential commissioner for children’s rights, on similar charges.
