Good lord. I hope this ends peacefully.

Do Chinese billionaires, Jenine Añez, and Shinzo Abe count?

That's a bit of an overreaction, there's still a pretty big barrier in the shape of a canal between the central part of the city and the parts that Russia controls. They need to break through a good chunk of the line around the town to get in a position to threaten it. With the current tempo of the Russian army in the countryside, it's going to take at least a few weeks before everything is in position for an assault of Chasiv Yar itself.

There was a terrorist attack in Belgrade earlier today apparently. A cop was seriously wounded protecting the embassy form a weirdo that recently converted to Wahhabism.

As far as I know, only the official successor country continues recognising Palestine (Russia succeeded the USSR in this case). A similar thing happened with former Yugoslavia. Serbia recognised Palestine since it became Serbia, while Slovenia recognised them only a few weeks ago.

The fact that the open fascist and the genocidal Alzheimer patient are the ones with the most support on this image is incredible.

Literally zero seconds, as they are carrying a nazi flag and are actual members of Azov. And on top of that the piece of shit on the left is wearing a patch of a prominent member of the OUN. The only thing missing on this photo is Hitler himself.

Edit: Here's a comment from the news mega about the visit

Shout-out to our Macedonian comrades for tripling (from 2 to 6) their numbers in parliament yesterday. May the growth continue and may some more of the countries of former Yugoslavia follow your lead.

Zelensky has confirmed that he is in fact going to be firing Zaluzhny confirming that the recent speculation was in fact true.

RIA Novosti (Original article in Russian) is also saying that he is going to be an ambassador to the UK in the near future:

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny agreed to become ambassador to the UK, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Yevgeny Shevchenko in an interview with the director of the Ukrainian Institute of Global Strategies Vadim Karasev, published on his YouTube channel.

Kosovo update:

More than 48 hours have passed since the end of the fighting between Serbian paramilitary forces and Albanian police in North Kosovo. I guess we can say that the dust has settled down a bit, although we still don't know the full picture. It seems like the Kosovo government has more information, but they are choosing to make only a small amount of it public, likely as a political play against the Serbian government. Regardless, the assault left one Kosovo Police officer dead and another two wounded. On the Serbian side, four men were killed, with two people being arrested for direct involvement in the fighting, and another eight for aiding them (four have since been released for lack of evidence). All of the Serb men involved in the fight seem to be from communities in North Kosovo.

In the aftermath of the battle, Kosovo's PM published photos of all the confiscated weaponry that the Serbian side was using, blaming Serbia for arming them. Yet, the most worrying thing among the stash weren't weapons, but (according to Kosovo Police) documents belonging to a member of the Kosovo Serb political party. Along with this, they also published a video of the incident in which they claim that the politician was featured in. This only raises fears over here that the Serb population will be put under greater repression in the future, especially because they have no representatives in any positions of power within the government of Kosovo, thanks to exodus of all Serb officials from almost a year ago and the election boycott from a few months ago. Hopefully this won't also lead to a massive escalation, but knowing the people currently in charge of Kosovo managed to make a license plate issue into an international scandal, it's highly unlikely.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo

Those were literally peacekeeping missions, it would be a miracle if a Challenger got blown up there. The majority of their personnel died in various accidents when in ex-Yugoslavia and I doubt anyone ever fired on their tanks. Excellent propaganda by the MOD.
