The first motorcycle company has been formed in the Ukrainian army as part of the 425th separate assault regiment "Skala". At the same time, Ukrainian media noted that motorcycles and ATVs have been successfully used in the Russian army since last year. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army has already begun to use ATVs, but the use of motorcycles was previously usually ridiculed. As reported, the assault regiment "Skala" is now conducting intensive training on motorcycles, sometimes up to 14 hours a day. According to Ukrainian servicemen of the regiment "Skala", the use of motorcycles allows for the rapid delivery of infantry, changing the direction of attack and reducing the risk of being hit by drones

Clear footage of an attack by a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber with three FAB-500 aerial bombs equipped with UMPK modules. The strike with Russian FAB-500 bombs was carried out on a Ukrainian hangar with military equipment in the Kherson direction. The exact location of the shooting is not reported. The video also shows an explosion in the hangar, presumably of some equipment.

US secretary of state refuses to call Putin a war criminal
IVANNA KOSTINA, TETYANA OLIYNYK — WEDNESDAY, 21 MAY 2025, 19:41US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declined to label Russian ruler Vladimir Putin a war criminal.
Source: Rubio during a hearing of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives, as reported by European Pravda
Details: During a round of questions, Rubio had a tense exchange with Democrat Congressman Bill Keating, who first asked whether Russia was the aggressor in the war.
"Yes, Russia invaded Ukraine. They invaded them, yes," Rubio replied.
Keating then followed up by asking whether Putin was a war criminal.
"You can look at instances that have happened there and certainly characterise them as war crimes, but our intent is to end the war," Rubio answered evasively.
Keating then repeated the question.
"We can’t end the war without talking to Mr Putin", Rubio said. Keating interrupted him, repeating his simple question of whether Putin, with whom the US is negotiating, is a war criminal.
"I’m answering your question," Rubio responded. "And the answer is that war crimes have been committed. No doubt. And who was responsible for that, there will be a time and place for that accountability. But right now, the job is to end the war."
Keating repeated his question several more times but never received a direct answer.
Background:
- On 7 May, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent agreed when asked whether he considered Russian leader Vladimir Putin a war criminal.
- Politico reported that US President Donald Trump's administration had opposed the inclusion of a pledge of continued support for Kyiv and a reference to the illegality of Russia's war against Ukraine in an upcoming G7 statement.

LOL, as a Cuban-American, Rubio hates Russia and Putin with a passion but, as Sec of State, he has to say in public what his boss tells him.
