You found it!
I thought the video I posted was new. It might still be. I’ll try to find out.
This is not new information. The cockroaches have been in and around the city for weeks. Check Deep State and Live UA Map for details of rate of advancement.
If you were here, Id pass ya a hamburger. 🙂
Sounds good! And I’d bring the beer. 🍻
