“Moscow. “We don’t throw away our own” is when the fountain-ball from the Donetsk “Donbas-Arena” of the Shakhtar football club was taken from Ukraine to Russia, and the corpses of the dead Russian soldiers were left to rot in Ukrainian soil for an unknown reason…#stoprussia”

“Russians stole the fountain in a form of a football ball from Donbas Arena, one of the biggest stadiums in Ukraine.”

“Look at the people in the video. They are happy, making pics, even dancing a bit. They’re doing all of this perfectly understanding that this thing is stolen.”

Ukraine has recaptured practically the whole of the Kharkiv Oblast in a rapid counter-offensive against Russia’s forces, according to the US Institute for the study of war (ISW), as reported on Monday, September 12.

Ukraine has inflicted a major operational defeat on Russia, recapturing almost all of Kharkiv Oblast in a rapid counter-offensive. Ukraine has turned the tide in its favour, but the current counter-offensive will not end the war.”

“The Ukrainian recapture of Izyum ended the prospect that #Russia could accomplish its stated objectives in Donetsk Oblast,”stated the ISW.
