War in Ukraine: news
Today it became known that a special blackout regime was introduced in the Kherson region for Easter . As the spokesman for the Kherson Regional State Administration, Oleksandr Tolokonnikov, clarified to UNIAN, these are forced security measures related to the attacks that the Russians are carrying out on cities and villages. He added that the local authorities are trying to prevent tragedies.
Earlier, military expert, instructor pilot, and retired colonel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Roman Svitan said that Putin would refrain from ordering strikes on Ukrainian cities on Easter. But he warned that strikes should not be completely ruled out.
If Vladolf was serious he would have announced this days ago.
Putin as Easter bunny… bah!
Not to mention the Moskali don’t even celebrate Easter for another two weeks…
Nah, Easter is on the same day for all eastern churches. You are thinking of Christmas.
