Today in Ukraine, it was too dangerous for a team from the International Committee of the Red Cross to execute a large-scale evacuation in the besieged city of Mariupol. They hope it will be safe enough to try again tomorrow. Meanwhile, in the northwestern part of the country, life looks a little more normal, if still tense. And if you tune your radio to 100.8, you can find a station known as Wave of Lviv, broadcasting pop music and witty banter.

They continue to amaze me with their resolve, their unity, their over-the-top defiance and bravery. Fighting with whatever weaponry, tools, and tactics they can muster, they're unified in their cause. That contrasts with the sheer lack of motivation displayed by the bulk of the Russian force (the conscripts), while their leaders on the ground are tied like marionettes to the puppet strings of Putin and his generals.

“This is ‘Lightning’ speaking - the Home Army’s radio station in Warsaw on 32.8 and 52.1 m waves. Warsaw’s spirit is magnificent. Magnificent are Warsaw’s women. They are everywhere - on the frontline together with soldiers, as nurses and couriers. Even children are enlivened by the spirit of valour.”

CPT (Join to see) It's a shame that shortwave radio isn't as common today as it was in WWII. It was a lot harder to block than the internet.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen Hell of a Game Putin is Playing calling the Jewish President of Ukraine a Nazi? Calling the West "Nazis" I'm OK with that if He wants to Claim that He wants to Rebuild the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (Republican Socialism) Although I will fight that with Every Part of My Being. Or is He Playing the Joseph Goebbels Card? Accuse the Enemy of What You are Guilty of? Being Party Lietz (German Jew) Tyrolean Gypsy (Romani) I Despise the Far Right and Far Left Equally! You Want to Put a Yellow Star on Me, Put a Pink Triangle on My Friends, Put a Brown Triangle on My Kin! ^ucking You Up will Always be My Pleasure!
