very long list of ukrainian military victories in the last 24 hours. the pentagon says that the airport outside of kyiv has been abandoned by russian forces. this was an incredibly important target for russia, control of this specific airport would have allowed russia to fly troops directly to the capital and not worry about getting stuck in the mud or roadblocks or running out of fuel, as their tanks have been doing. but now they have abandoned it. you can see it in this new satellite image from maxar tonight. and you see those big piles of dirt everywhere? those are protective that russia built up. there are thin earth walls. but now russia has rolled up and left the airport and all that is left is the walls of dirt. take a look at this. this was a small village east of kharkiv called and this town was previously under russian control but
