Ukrainian forces successfully attacked Russian vehicles in the capital city of Kyiv thanks to a public tip made through the encrypted messaging app Telegram, Ukraine's top law enforcement agency said on Tuesday.

The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv through messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War."

"Your messages about the movement of the enemy through the official chatbot … bring new trophies every day," the government agency tweeted.

It added, "This time we received the coordinates of enemy vehicles marked 'V' in Kyiv region."

"The result is on this photo: fiery 'greetings' to the invaders," Security Service of Ukraine posted, along with a photo showing several military vehicles among plumes of black smoke.

They are careful to say they attack and kill “the enemy,” or “the invaders.” The Russians aren’t meant to hear that the Ukrainians consider all Russians to be their enemies, only the ones who show up for the purpose of hostile armed conquest.

This tactic will help heal the rift once Putin’s inner circle has decided that fearless leader is in dire need of a permanent vacation.

a permanent vacation? You have a different perspective, living in Germany.

I fear he will go crazy and start a nuclear war.

He has become too fanaticized to seek a reasonable solution at this point. But before he is allowed to use a nuclear weapon as a first strike, I think his own military will say enough is enough. ANYONE who uses a nuclear weapon as a first strike should not be making dinner plans. If it doesn’t get to that, even requesting his forces to draw up contingency plans for such an action could well result in his health suddenly failing to a degree where he can no longer carry out his duties.

If Trump had tried to order an unprovoked nuclear first strike, he would have suffered a sudden case of debilitating hangnail so severe, he would be relieved of his duties snd placed in an isolation ward at Walter Reed for two years. Russians have historically preferred more drastic solutions, and no one knows better than his own clandestine services where the polonium tea is kept.
