Territory of present #Ukraine saw WWI and WWII battles. Today the #Ukrainian Army unit defeated the #Russian Army unit of 200 at the very historically significant location - in Kruty village of #Chernigiv province in 130 km to northeast from capital Kyiv. [Thread ⬇️]
[2] Kruty is a symbol of the #Ukrainian fight for independence. In 1918, the Lenin "bolsheviks" launched an invasion into just created sovereign #Ukraine Republic which tried at the end of WWI to secure its independence with the center in #Kyiv.
[3] On January 29-30, 1918, in Kruty village, the invading unit of 3,000 Bolsheviks after the bloody battle defeated the #Ukrainian unit of 130-150 cadets which demonstrated unbelievable valor and imposed heavy losses (300) on the Russians which stopped their invasion for 4 days.
[4] The #Ukrainian cadets died from the Russian bullets at Kruty but slowed the invasion. It let time for #Kyiv to negotiate the recognition of #Ukraine for the 1st time as independent nation in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk signed on March 3, 1918 btw Russia and Central Powers.
[5] The Putin's behavior regarding #Ukraine is now the same as Lenin's in 1917-1922: deceit, preparation, war, and occupation. They both are unifiers of the lands around Moscow no matter what.

❗️Attention. Graphic visuals. My friend, a journalist from #Kyiv, #Ukraine just sent me a video of the aftermath of the today's Russian airstrike at the broadcast tower in Syrets district of the capital. Read the thread below with my translation.⬇️
[1] The Ukrainian man speaking on the background: “One clear hit in the tower up there. See the destruction? That building has been slightly burned." The windows blew up on the first floor, but af the guard told me – no casualties there."
[2] "Over there is one more rocket hit the ground, exploded and generated the major blast wave. Here are four corps. It seems it’s a family which walked together because their corps are here also together."
