Vietnam-era M113s save lives in Ukraine war

Since being delivered to Ukraine in 2022 as part of U.S. military aid, the M113 armored personnel carrier (APC) has become a lifeline for Ukrainian forces on the battlefield. Despite its origins dating back to the Vietnam War era, the M113 continues to protect infantry and support assault...

Ha! You guys scoffed at me when I suggested sending M-113s to Ukraine. He who scoffs last scoffs best.

Actually I'm smoking now so that's me coughing.
 
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that his military has captured two North Korean soldiers fighting on the Russian side in the Kursk region, likely the first such development since Pyongyang dispatched soldiers to help with the Kremlin's war in Eastern Europe.

Zelensky wrote Saturday on social media the two soldiers, when captured, were wounded and were taken to Kyiv, the country's capital, to be interrogated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), also known as SBU, the nation's main internal security agency.

"This was not an easy task: Russian forces and other North Korean military personnel usually execute their wounded to erase any evidence of North Korea's involvement in the war against Ukraine," Zelensky said in a Saturday post on the social media platform X while adding that the North Koreans are getting medical attention.

The Ukrainian president added that he instructed the SBU to give reporters access to the pair of prisoners because the "world needs to know the truth about what is happening."


Is Ukraine signatory to the Geneva Convention? PoWs are not allowed to be used for propaganda, and this might be in violation.

They've been violating that for three years now.
But on a scale of atrocities, I'd say photographing prisoners is a bit low compared to executing prisoners and civilians.
 

It's not only inhuman and morally repulsive treatment, it's also stupid. LET the Ukrainians take on the burden of caring for injured Russians. Let THEM feed and house them, and devote resources to keeping them secured.
