Speaking as a septuagenarian, that is quite the feat to push a wheelchair 13 km; an act of love.
They were rescued by brave volunteers willing to risk a lot to meet them so close to the front with a large obvious van. They all deserve respect.

Trump & Orban can start a NA (nearly assassinated) club with Fico after they're ousted.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is based in Bonn, Germany, and received almost 900,000 euros in grants from German authorities in 2024. What applies to the Venice Biennale must also apply to the IPC: no funding for organisations that collaborate with Russia!
ZELENSKYY: If our soldiers voluntarily withdraw from Donbas, theyβll lose friends, homes, relatives, and memories there. The morale of the entire army and nation would collapse instantly.
POLITICO: Even if you get peace in return?
ZELENSKYY: Yes. Because βpeaceβ is just words from Putin. Who can trust him?
I hope this comment Stilerman means targeting all military centers but not civilians or public spaces. If so I agree.
Very long read or skip to the last few paragraphs for the capture of a lazy, inexperienced spy. Poor trade craft gotcha.
The article contains a thoughtful commentary with "humanoid soldiers may lower political and ethical barriers to initiating conflicts, blur accountability for potential abuses and further dehumanise warfare."
Mike LeBlanc, co-founder of Foundation, a US Marine Corps veteran, said the aim is to create robots capable of performing combat functions in place of humans.

I hope you are right, the RU army is fragmenting without coherent communications. Fragmentary units are vulnerable so more likely to surrender.
I hope these strikes were dead on target so they did maximum damage.
Muscovians have to know this is hurting everyone. Four long years of loss & death for what?
May they suffer endless sleepless nights til they protest as willingly as Georgians have despite the repercussions.
Absolutely! We no longer live in small isolated communities that limit exposure, diseases spread in crowded daycare, schools or from parents being exposed to other parents of sick children at work. Vaccines limit risk.
So Orban may be planning to claim he really won after a loss & take it to his courts? Sounds plausible, he could declare the elections null if he's stacked the courts with compliant judges.
Since the opening of the XIV Winter Paralympic Games 2026 in Milano-Cortina,athletes&coaches of the Ukrainian team have faced systematic pressure from representatives of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC)&the Gamesβ Organizing Committee, the National Paralympic Committee of Ukraine stated
Here is a list of sponsors of the IOC, the corrupt organization that is catering to Russia and persecuting Ukrainians in the name of βneutralityβ and βpeaceβ: InBev, AirBnb, Alibaba, Allianz, Coca Cola, Deliotte, Omega, P&G, Visa, Samsung, TCL. I am boycotting as many of these as I can from now on
Is this the source of the "threat" Orban is using to claim Ukraine is planning an attack on Orban & family? An offhand comment about those paying Orban might act against him? I knew Orban was twisting something to tether his election propaganda balloon.
Even moskals might hesitate to buy orange toad branded vodka given his constant tacoing weirdness so it is likely they want the trademark for a droll notoriety.
At first light I got the same shock & the cascade crud is still drifting down. I just hope the mountains got a lot.
Someone interviewed a known Ukrainian with extreme views. Interview included a comment Orban's action could lead to someone targeting Orban & family. So Orban is acting as if this person is a government spokesman rather than an opinionated talking head on TV.
Seems like this offers a lot of civilian use in checking coastal infrastructure or in patrolling shipping lanes for ships traveling without transponders besides military targets.
π wonderful depth with the blue sky, the birches & the galanthus covering the ground below.
What, countries don't want to enter the turret toss Olympics?
Seems Hungary is admitting they are e,forcing compliance to force Ukraine to spend money repairing Muscovian sabotage of the pipeline. Was it planned?
Has Ammo Dump Jesus returned to bless Ukraine again?
They kicked the skeleton bobsledder out of competition after banning his helmet. Will they escalate to something similar over earrings?
Moggie smartly turned back to snuggle down on the horse/cow/sheep's back where it's warm.
