"I would like to congratulate President Zelenzkyy on his unwavering
commitment to achieving Net Zero ruzzian carbon emissions."
Seen in the comments section of today's RFU (Reporting From Ukraine) podcast, which focused on successful Ukrainian drone attacks on various ruzzian oil refineries and depots in recent days. Some of those targeted had been attacked previously, and then repaired, at great expense. BOOOM!! AGAIN!!! More ruzzian money blown up, and less resources to sell to fill their rapidly dwindling coffers.

I hope they continue to stand by him.
As always, since this travesty began, all my hopes for Ukraine to prevail.
