Due to Apple's policies, there are no good ones. The least bad one is called Onion Browser and is recommended by the Tor Project.

I'm guessing the US arsenal of ATACMS missiles is rather limited and they have their own reasons for not making it smaller, which they can't go into detail about. Frustrating, but understandable.

First time I've heard of Ukraine using or even having thermobarics.

Just leave the bulls alone.

It's disturbing. I deliberately avoid any community hosted on his lemmy.ml instance (the ml stands for Marxist-Leninism). I could certainly not stomach the Ukraine community there.

It's equally illegal, at least in my country.

All banks and bank-like institutions you might have access to will comply with the same anti money-laundering and know-your-customer regulations. It's not really up to the individual bank to decide.

The "Swiss bank account" is largely a thing of the past, as they are forced into data-sharing agreements with the United States and possibly others. And even so, you need to be a Swiss national to qualify for a bank account there.

You can use cash as much as possible when it's an option, of course. It's less convenient, but privacy often is.

Do young Greeks align themselves with Russia on same-sex marriage too, or do they make an exception there?

They could realistically have kept Sevastopol and the rest of Crimea if they just hadn't invaded the rest of Ukraine; now it's all at stake.

But even so, if they lose Sevastopol, there are other Russian ports along the Black Sea, notably Novorossiysk. While that's much less strategically located, and costly upgrades would be required to function as a marine base, it's not strictly true that they would lose access to the Black Sea altogether.

Apologies in advance if this is hopelessly armchair, happy to have my amateur observations nuanced.

"According to the occupiers, they see that Mariupol residents do not like them. Therefore, there is a suspicion that local residents did this," said the legally elected city council, while out of the city.

How terrible for them

 

The air-launched Storm Shadow missile is being used to great effect in Ukraine, the UK said. The UK-supplied weapon is performing "almost without fault," Defence Minister Ben Wallace said. Russia has accused Ukraine of striking a bridge linking Kherson to Crimea with the weapon.
