NI SHAGU NAZAD?? ни шагу назад no step back
TC’s summary of Putin’s war against Ukraine reported a pockmarked invasion, which has been stalled and moved backward in some areas, except in the south, ‘The occupation of the strategic Ukrainian port marks a rare Russian success...’

TC’s summary of Putin’s war against Ukraine reported a pockmarked invasion, which has been stalled and moved backward in some areas, except in the south, ‘The occupation of the strategic Ukrainian port marks a rare Russian success...’
Under the worst circumstances, fighters in Mariupol took to Zoom to issue a defiant message. 'We will always fight, as long as we are alive, for justice,” Azov’s deputy commander, Capt. Sviatoslav “Kalina” Palamar, said in an unusual news conference from within the Azovstal steel plant. Russian forces continued to besiege the steel plant into Sunday with airstrikes; artillery bombardment; tank, drone and sniper fire, as well as infantry assaults, the fighters said.' (WAPO)
I think the big take way from TC’s piece was, ‘The fact they (the Russian military) are reduced to choosing one location over another means that the overwhelming force they began this war with is no longer a factor.’
…and, in the spirit of Mother’s Day, the happiest picture on the front pages today was one of First Lady Jill Biden with Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska. Our ‘military mom’ crossed the border into Ukraine on Sunday, entering an active war zone - a highly unusual move for the spouse of a sitting president.
“I wanted to come on Mother’s Day,” Biden said before the start of a closed-door meeting between the two first ladies. “I thought it was important to show the Ukrainian people that this war has to stop and this war has been brutal and that the people of the United States stand with the people of Ukraine.” (WAPO)
Read Heather Cox Richard son’s history of Mothers’ Day. It was intended to be a peace movement initiated by Julia Ward Howe. Kudos to Dr. Jill for going to Ukraine to recognize the sacrifices of Ukrainian mothers and families.
