    Richard, according to an article in the New York Times, that apartment building was being used to house soldiers. There were only about 10 civilians left there that had refused to leave.

    On the front in Donetsk Province, a resident of Chasiv Yar village, Oleksandr, 31, stood watching the rescue work at the stricken apartment complex as machines pulled away concrete slabs and emergency workers flung bricks aside. “My grandmother was here,” he said. “That’s her bed,” he added pointing to the pile of rubble. “I hope they will find her and I can give her a funeral.”

    He said that about 10 civilians, mostly women on pensions, were living in the building at the time of the strike, but that members of the military had come to lodge there two days earlier. He had tried to persuade his grandmother to move to his place, he said, but she had refused.

    Ex-‘Fox and Friends’ host moves to Portugal amid fraud accusations from dozens, including several from N.J.
    Updated: Jul. 17, 2019, 5:36 p.m. | Published: Jul. 17, 2019, 12:30 p.m.

    ...

    No criminal charges have been filed against the former “Fox & Friends” co-host, but Clayton Morris is facing more than two dozen lawsuits from around the country that allege he organized a scheme to defraud customers for his own financial gain by selling them Indiana rental properties with the promise to rehab and rent them, but failing to do so.



    According to the New York Times, Morris Invest helped sell at least 1,000 properties over the past two years and took in more than $5 million in referral fees and profits.



    The New Jersey Attorney General’s office previously confirmed they have received numerous complaints against Morris, but did not confirm or deny if there is a criminal investigation.

    And now he and the Mrs. are making money for themselves by spreading Russian propaganda on YouTube. :lol: From one kind of fraud to another...

    At least that explains why his YouTube channel made the sudden switch from real estate scams to this.

    You're not alone. Many come from the same mould.

    Old babtsyi serving up fresh pastries to Russki conscripts....laced with rat poison, strychnine, etc....shortly after the bastards are convulsing violently...:).

    This must be Dwarfstans way of protecting Russian speakers.....LOL.

    Yeah, I saw that the bloody invaders are now starting to compare the people they're occupying and slaughtering to ISIS. :lol:

    I'm sure their fathers and grandfathers weren't complaining when the same partisan warfare was being conducted against the occupying Germans :)

    Whoops, Poland's plan for recapturing its historical lands in "the ukraine" outed. Now they are walking it back. Personally if they want the historical nazi lands of Galicia, I say have at it. Then the nazis in the Donbass will run back to defend the Bandera motherland.

    Exile, silence or arrest: Russian celebrities against Ukraine war have no good choices
    “This was a scream from the heart for us,” the front man for Little Big, one of Russia's most popular bands, said from Los Angeles. “We just wanted to speak out.”

    July 12, 2022, 5:45 AM CDT
    By Yuliya Talmazan

    His songs are fabulously popular, known for their furious dance beats, absurd lyrics and tongue-in-cheek videos that poke fun at Russian stereotypes, pop culture and trappings of wealth. But in just four months, Ilya Prusikin’s life has turned upside down — he is in self-imposed exile for expressing his horror at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    He lives in fear that he will never again see his home.

    “They are depriving me of a right to say that I don’t agree with murder,” said Prusikin, the lead singer for the Russian band Little Big, speaking via Zoom from an apartment in Los Angeles.

    ... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russia-ukraine-little-big-ilya-prusikin-punk-rock-music-rcna36648

    This is why I don't get people living in the west who think Putler's Ruscist state is so great. They are perfectly free to criticize the government here and call a war a war, while the Russians have to flee their country to avoid being arrested and charged with a crime for speaking the truth.

    And sometimes you just have con artist playing a game for asylum. They get protected status and/or a green card then all-of-a-sudden they go right back when they feel like it.
