Muda umefika wa vijana wa Ukraine kuchukua kilicho chao, walichoachiwa na mababu zao, mito yao, milima yao, mashamba yao, ni mwendo wa mbele kwa mbele, nitawahabarisha humu hadi basi furaha hadi nahisi kuumwa, nakumbuka ilikua raha hivi wakati ule msafara wa kwenda Kyiv ulipigwa na wabeba javelin.
Twende kazi.

- Western advisers warn Russia's defensive line may be 'more fragile than thought'
- Ukrainian forces have advanced in Novodonetsk by up to five or six kilometres
Russia's defences could be 'more fragile than thought', western officials have warned as Ukraine finally begins its much-anticipated 'all or nothing' counter-offensive.
The frontline assault comes after weeks of intensive behind-the-scenes preparations, including vital training by UK troops, and some 16 months after Putin's illegal invasion.
Ukrainian forces have advanced in Novodonetske by up to five or six kilometres, local reports suggest, as officials claim 'fierce battles are going on' for control of the settlement.

Kyiv have claimed that Kremlin defensive lines may be fragile, an insider told The Economist today.
Semyon Pegov, a prominent Kremlin-affiliated 'milblogger', confirmed that Ukraine had 'some success' in an attack in Novoselivka-Ugledar and claimed updates from the Russian-controlled region were 'more and more alarming every hour'.
Pegov, commonly known under his alias Wargonzo, said the war is 'heating up' and that today's attack was 'much more serious than yesterday'.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose mercenary troops have spent months fighting in Bakhmut, poured scorn on his country's establishment after it claimed to have thwarted a second major offensive in Donetsk.
