So once again, instead of having Zolotov keep an eye on the Korsakoff Syndrome poster boy, you let them both go off on a five day bender. No wonder Prigo went off the rails. Zolo wasn’t monitoring him because he and Dima the Dim were binging again. https://n.respublicae.eu/darthputinkgb/status/1675909551374188544

Anton Gerashchenko: Latvian police passes the cars they confiscate from drunk drivers to Ukrainian Defenders!
(Cars are really needed at the frontlines as they get destroyed often, and they save lives).
Ukraine is honored to have such amazing friends! Thank you for standing with us!
