  1. This morning’s GSR. Eight minutes of your time to be well informed as to what is going on and where from the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

    Now I’ve been scanning the headlines this morning and the news from our frontline heroes is pretty good to be honest.

    I’m reading a headline and saying is this in a different area to the last headline, strongholds taken out, depots destroyed, equipment as well, the list goes on and on.

    Unfortunately Russia continues to shell and kill innocent civilians and we all long for the day when we see no headlines on this very sad news.

    We can take a crumb of comfort in knowing our frontline heroes are doing everything they can to make this day come as soon as possible.

    As always thoughts are with our heroes on the frontline!

    Transcript to follow.

  3. Headline sounds good but sadly the majority of offensive movements still seem to be Russian. Probably to be expected since the Ukrainians actually give a shit about their soldiers and don’t just want to send them on suicide missions but I’m still looking forward to the day we see Ukraine sweep the invaders away.
