In case defending the homeland isn’t sufficient motivation, the Ukrainian government says Ukrainian citizens who commandeer Russian tanks won’t have to declare that newly acquired wealth on their tax forms:
Ukraine’s National Agency for the Protection against Corruption (NAPC) has declared that captured Russian tanks and other equipment are not subject to declaration.
“Have you captured a Russian tank or armored personnel carrier and are worried about how to declare it? Keep calm and continue to defend the Motherland! There is no need to declare the captured Russian tanks and other equipment, because the cost of this … does not exceed 100 living wages (UAH 248,100),” NAPC’s press service said.
Also, there is no need in this case to submit reports of significant changes in property status within 10 days [Interfax-Ukraine, “No Need to Declare Captured Russian Tanks, Other Equipment of Invaders as Income,” 2022.03.01].
Ukraine isn’t expecting to get much revenue from taxing combat trophies, anyway, because, as the NAPC says, “Thanks to the courage and victory of the defenders of the Ukrainian state, enemy military equipment usually comes to you already destroyed and disabled, which makes it impossible to evaluate it in accordance with the law.”

South Dakota’s Republican senior US senator is crowing about the drone mission at Ellsworth Air Force Base being secure. But how safe are soft targets in Rapid City from a retaliatory strike?

Along Ukrainian lines, several US Senators had a video call with Zelensky and were all asked not to use social media while call was ongoing to protect Zelensky’s whereabouts. Wouldn’t you know, magats Rubio and Daines both tweeted about the call while still in progress.

With alleged friends like magats, Zelensky doesn’t need any enemies.
Mike, Those frigging SOB’s To call “Rubio and Daines” magats is an elevation of their status. There must be some label more consistent with something worse than feedlot excrement scraped off dirty shoes,
