Ukraine's military says it has again destroyed pontoon bridges that Russian troops were using to cross a river in the eastern Luhansk region, where heavy fighting has been raging for days.
The Ukrainian defence ministry published photos of what it said were destroyed Russian tanks and other armour in the village of Bilohorivka, near the strategic Ukrainian-held city of Lysychansk.
Luhansk regional head Serhiy Haidai described Bilohorivka as a "fortress" that - like the city of Mariupol - was "holding back a great number" of Russian troops.

Russian pontoon bridges were smashed by Ukrainian artillery, Kyiv says. Russia's military has not commented on the Ukrainian claim, which has not been independently verified.
Could be very true. A couple of days ago Ukrainian Su-27 bombed Snake Island at very low level..
Interesting sentence "Then, Aviation started heavy bombing of the area and it destroyed all the remains of Russians there, and other bridge they tried to make." If true, UAF is still active and having an impact on the war, despite Russian claims of having destroyed more than 300% of UAF airplanes.
Russian claims of having destroyed more than 300% of UAF airplanes
at least this is a -1 of russian leadershipIs this 13 or 14 now?
Just asking, is there a source (Russian) were they claim 300%?300% wauw. Really reliable number. You see no fake news from Russia.
Do the citizens of the existing NATO countries have a say? As a Canadian and Brit I fully support welcoming both Finland and Sweden into NATO. But we should consider that the wider NATO spreads the more likely the West's sons and daughters will be sent into the grinder. I'm alright with that, but are America's parents willing to sacrifice their sons for the seemingly distant places like Finland, or even existing members like Bulgaria? This POTUS? No question, but the last POTUS and maybe the next POTUSes (is that POTI?) I'm not so sure. While my southern neighbour doesn't shirk from bombing Muslim despots and intervening where they perceive interest, they also have a strong isolationist streak.KYIV/BRUSSELS, May 12 (Reuters) - Finland is expected to announce on Thursday its intention to join NATO with Sweden likely to follow soon after, diplomats and officials said,
You mean when crewing your aircraft and sighting the same one you called it a helicopter? otherwise I need to seriously doubt the US Air-defense capabilities.1. Last time I checked when I was crewing helicopters we called them AIRcraft.
2. Jesus, are we actually discussing this?
I think if we return to the genesis of this distraction we'd see we're being punked... one you called it a helicopter?

leader red to ground - enemy aircraft's heading NNW
Ground to leader red - what aircraft's?
leader red to ground - aircraft's with rotor-blades
I imagine the latter group includes Russians in Finland - Wikipedia.Recent surveys of Finnish population show support for NATO membership running at roughly 60-75% for, 10-20% against...

I'll throw more fuel in the fire -
"aircrafts" or "aircraft's"= it's "AIRCRAFT"
The word is both singular and plural!
I agree. We're going to have to do a first strike on Coney Island (aka "Little Odesa ").I imagine the latter group includes Russians in Finland - Wikipedia.
Any country with a sizable Russian population needs to be wary. If I was Ukraine, once I take the Donbas I would be marching every Russian across the border. Just the same as the Russians did to the Germans in East Prussia when they renamed the place the Kaliningrad Oblast.
