The New Voice of Ukraine

Russians give away their positions by failed attempt to offend Ukrainians​

Russian soldiers trampled a field to form a derogatory slur for Ukrainians - the word khokhly

The slur, made by trampling flora in the field, was quickly noticed by Ukrainian air reconnaissance and passed along to Ukrainian artillery teams, Come Back Alive noted.

"God, what assholes," the foundation's press service stated.
:LOL:

In the comments, the invaders were "praised" for their persistence, because trampling an inscription into a field, is no walk in the park — it takes a lot of effort.

“(The Russians) managed it, their message was read,” wrote one commentator, after noting the blast crater in the photo.

Earlier, a group of hackers calling themselves the Obfuscated Dreams of Scheherazade created the website WasteRussianTime.today, which allows anyone to call a member of the Russian government and waste their time on the phone.

Breaking News, JoeB cancels student debt for X amount of future Democrats… cellfish…
Hundreds of thousands of students who attended the for-profit Corinthian Colleges chain will automatically get their federal student loans canceled, the Biden administration announced Wednesday, a move that aims to bring closure to one of the most notorious cases of fraud in American higher education.

Under the new action, anyone who attended the now-defunct chain from its founding in 1995 to its collapse in 2015 will get their federal student debt wiped clean. It will erase $5.8 billion in debt for more than 560,000 borrowers, the largest single loan discharge in Education Department history, according to the agency.

"As of today, every student deceived, defrauded and driven into debt by Corinthian Colleges can rest assured that the Biden-Harris Administration has their back and will discharge their federal student loans," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said. "For far too long, Corinthian engaged in the wholesale financial exploitation of students, misleading them into taking on more and more debt to pay for promises they would never keep."
