Russian stuff blowing up: Prisoner describes brutal Russian medical practicing on POWs

Key Points:

• Since 2022, a woman has been caring for nearly 30 stray dogs and cats in an occupied area, but recent food shortages and disappearances of the animals forced her to risk her life to escape.
• She endured multiple hardships during the occupation, including losing her family homes to a direct hit, flooding from the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant destruction, and a drone strike, yet survived and ultimately walked over 20 km on mined roads to reach Kyiv.
• In August 2026, relics of St. Dmitry Donskoy were rediscovered in the Kremlin and sent by the Russian Orthodox Church and Ministry of Defence to troops in Ukraine as a morale booster.
• Russian forces held religious services with the relics at their command posts, viewing the arrival of the relics as a significant morale event during their operations.
• However, during a retreat from a Ukrainian attack, part of the relics were reportedly lost after a prayer site was shelled, with military sources noting minimal casualties but acknowledging the loss as significant.
