What's Happening

What's the big story? Today's good news on the battlefield is brought to you by Russian lies. Russian lies, frustrating our analyst team for two years. Five Ukrainian advances were recorded today, three of them due to previously false claims by the Kremlin. No, none of them are in Avdiivka.

What's the second story? Tucker-Putin was no Frost-Nixon, and all of us want 2 hours and 16 minutes of our lives back. We took one for our Malcontents.
