Pentagon Preparing to Supply Ukraine with Game-Changing New Weapon:
The Pentagon is preparing to supply Ukraine with one of the U.S. military’s most advanced weapons.

After the hospital visit, Putin hailed the troops as “heroes” during a televised meeting with government officials.
But a day later, Adam Rang, a self-described “counter-propaganda” activist living in Estonia, tweeted that one of the soldiers in the hospital looked eerily familiar. —>READ MORE HERE
