A Ukrainian naval drone attacked the Dashan oil tanker in the Black Sea as it was en route under the flag of Gambia to the port of Novorossiysk.

I wonder if next opponent to Putin will fall to his death from Pine tree now. Nah - too complicated. Lost balance from window is much more plausible

Oi! Leave me out of this...
You assume much to think there is an opponent to Putin that will be allowed to see puberty.

That seems way too expensive. That would only be useful if they are used really high value targets:

In the Kremlin’s version of “negotiations,” Ukraine must first accept Russia’s terms: the Istanbul agreements, the so-called “realities on the ground,” and the demands Putin outlined in his 2024 speech at the Russian Foreign Ministry.Translated from Kremlin-speak: Russia is ready for peace if Ukraine agrees to Russia’s conditions.Nothing new.The Russian dictator also repeated his usual claims that Kyiv is responsible for the collapse of previous talks and went on to say that attacks on Russian territory and civilian casualties only motivate his boys to carry out their combat missions even more aggressively.

I think I accidentally infected your twitter algorithm with that Peskov tweet I shared earlier. Twitter For you algorithm is wild. Ooops. Sorry about that.

You asked who the Nazi's buddies were in the first years of the war and the answer is: Poland, the UK, Italy, Japan, France, Romania, Hungary, Lithuania, Slovakia and Denmark.
And leading those is the UK
with the Munich agreement crucially handing over Czechoslovakia's border fortifications and the massive Skoda Works, hugely boosting Nazi armaments. Also, it's arguable that the Munich agreement precipitated the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact:
On top of that, you have Edward VIII encouraging the Germans to "bomb Britain into submission".
So, if one is being an apologist, I guess it's feasible to say that the UK and friends were acting out of fear and self-interest. But that probably goes doubly for the USSR, who shared a (wide-open) border with Poland.
What is not in doubt is that these pacts were short-lived. Apart from Ukraine, where the Nazi collaborators are still celebrated:
Torchlit march in Kyiv honours Nazi-linked nationalist - European Jewish Congress
Ukrainian far-right supporters held a torchlight procession in Kyiv to mark the birthday of a nationalist leader who collaborated with the Nazis during part of World War II.
