Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the eastern border from, well, Maine this time. I'm in this little nice city called Bath, or Bath. I don't really

how to pronounce it. I had lobster for the first time ever in my life yesterday. And as you can hear,

Well, we'll get to that this is war after all but while

ukrainian side claims and it has proven evidence that well the explosion happened in a sake
