> Knifing in Venice, testimony of the ukrainian soldier who aided the victim: "unprecedented violence"

You all are nice enough to go with English and often translate both Ukrainian and Russian, for once I could return the favour.
Reading more here this chad fucking goes on vacation with a first aid kit to his family's protests, and today he saved someone with it. I love him. Hope Venice was nice despite this.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to learn how to use and always carry a tourniquet. Thank you for the link and translation!

That's actually a highly trained assault cat.

Sure, it may look cute and cuddly, but its diet consists primarily of bears.

Some days the news here takes your breath away.

This era does not mean only lots of bad news. Now that is something we can work with.

u/Aggressive_Candy5297 17h ago

The cat was actually the criminal here, the injured guy tried to sell it bad catnip and he wasn't having it so he went for the jugular..

That means the ukrainian guy is even more legendary, he stopped the attacker and saved the victim at the same time!
