Incredibly moving scenes of Balakliya residents in Kharkiv region greeting Ukrainian soldiers with hugs, tears and offers of food ('we should have some pancakes left', one woman said). I imagine how happy people in the occupied Kherson and elsewhere will be. This day will come

Balakliya was under Russian occupation for 6 months. Its how the real liberation looks like. I listen to local people on the video and think how many unknown war crimes from this all period we will find there.

I hope that very soon the whole country will be celebrating the end of the invasion. Don't know how much longer Putin will keep this up, but something tells me he's not going to give up easily. Hope he doesn't use nukes, but I wouldn't put anything past him.
