It seems the man behind Hedgehog TV - a Russian Youtube Channel known for their educational videos on Russian history - died in yesterday's explosion on the #KerchStrait bridge...
I’m in the very early stages of planning a trip to Ukraine/Poland this fall. I’d love to link up with some sort of church/humanitarian group for a few days over fall break.
If anyone has done this before or has any advice to share, please let me know…
I’m a broke college kid, so any method that spares a few dollars (group trip, etc) would work best.
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time now. Would love to document the experience while I’m there.
You're going to hear a lot about #Taiwan over the next couple of days. Like most topical events, this means rumors and clickbait are certain to follow.
No, the Taiwan Strait is not closed. Or blocked. Or shut down. Here's a look at current maritime traffic in the region...
As for rumors of military hardware 'on the move', there seems to be a bit of truth there. This thread shows (and even attempts to geolocate) at least a couple of the videos circling around right now.
Videos like this also seem to be authentic. They look flashy because they're meant to look flashy. All projectiles seem to land within declared exercise zones.
Its morning in Nova Kakhovka. Eight hours later, explosions can still be detected via VIIRS/MODIS observation.
Looks like it could be this spot (46°45'34"N, 33°23'1"E) after all. We'll hopefully get confirmation soon.
When the satellite images drop in a few hours/days, don't expect the typical ruined site. Expect a full blown crater. This explosion was absolutely massive.
