10 years ago Donetsk Airport was closed due to armed clashes with russian subversive groups.

Later the Ukrainian defenders defenders of Donetsk Airport will be called cyborgs, a reference to their invincibility and courage. This name was first used by unknown pro-russian militant while trying to explain why the units of the militia forces could not take up arms at the Donetsk airport, which is protected by several dozen Ukrainian servicemen.

On the night of May 26, 2014, a group of pro-russian forces partially occupied Donetsk airport. It took place as Donetsk city and that part of the wider region were already under russian occupation. The airport was the last Ukrainian stronghold in the city.

The defense of Donetsk airport lasted 242 days.

The summits of mine dumps may possess a conical shape and stand out as notable landscape features, but they can also be flat and eroded. A mine dump is formed from waste rock delivered from the mine or quarry to the apex of the cone by railcars, skip hoists, or conveyors.

1,000 days ago, Russia launched its brutal full-scale invasion of Ukrain

During this time, Russia has committed countless war crimes, causing death, destruction, ethnic cleansing, mass displacement, the abduction of Ukrainian children, ecological damage, nuclear threats, and a relentless campaign of disinformation

Over these 1,000 days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have liberated 42,520 km² of territory and killed 722,440 Russians.

The Ukrainian Air Force has downed 2,753 cruise missiles and destroyed 19,073 drones.

At least 11,743 Ukrainian civilians have been killed and 24,614 injured by Russia, while 67,098 km² of Ukrainian territory has been occupied.

But Ukraine remains steadfast. The fight for freedom and independence continues.

How to 'end the Russia-Ukraine War within a day.'

US President-elect Donald Trump Peace Plan or Peace Talks in Europe.

Creation of an 800-mile demilitarized zone between Russia and Ukraine, patrolled by European troops, with Russia retaining its territorial gains (20% of Ukraine: Crimea and the Donbas region made up of Donetsk and Luhansk) and Ukraine pledging not to join NATO for 20 years. Ukrainian President Zelensky has condemned the plan as "suicidal for Europe."

Why?

King of lies is alive

Look around, look inside, infidel!

Infidel!

Infidel!

(Infidel!) It begins here, it ends now

The prince must pay his head or the crown

Rob the poor, slaughter the weak

Distort the law, perfect deceit

Do I need a gas mask?

Should I get inoculated?

Will this war last?

Will we be incinerated?

False gods, death squads, blind!

This is a catastrophe

Weapon systems activated, puritans have invaded

This is a catastrophe

To protect against the threat

Order must be kept

Order must be kept

Order must be kept

Do I need a gas mask?

Should I get inoculated?

Will this war last?

Will we be incinerated?

False gods, death squads, blind!

The elephants march to war

Concede!

Conform!

Concede!

Conform!

Deny the big lie!

My tribe
