Don't mention the red rats - please.
I'm not criticizing you on this occasion, but the red Bolshevik rats, of course...

The Ukrainians have been moaning more than anything about the Russian use of gliding bombs. That requires aviation. Gliding bombs don't have to be pre-programmed with target co-ordinates and are inexpensive in comparison. New targets can be confirmed while already in flight, and in that case the time taken between issuing the order and destruction of the target would be considerably shorter than the equivalent for a cruise missile. Perhaps as little as 20 minutes if the aircraft is in the right place, which makes this method suitable for use against small tactical targets such as infantry platoons and armoured vehicles entrenched somewhere. The enemy has less reaction time against the usage of gliding bombs as well, as it will be launched closer to the target than a cruise missile.

Reportedly that Russian air wing which was ambushed 2 days ago was a gliding bomb group (1 bomber, 1 fighter covering it, 1 helicopter providing EW protection, and the other helicopter I forget)

Yes you have the Shahed drones as well. They're very useful. But suffer from a lack of explosive power and slow speed to target.

The head of the Ternopol regional administration, Vladimir Trush, speaking about the fires in Ternopol the day before, said that there were no ammunition depots containing enriched or depleted uranium in the city.

And here's what residents of a town near Khmelnitsky write to us:

"After the explosion in Khmelnitsky, people started to leave the nearby settlements.

It is possible that it is linked to the panic around the propagandized information about the spread of radiation in the region.

But I can say for myself that my friends and acquaintances have a stuffy throat, a lump that won'tbe expectorated.

The cause-and-effect relationship is unknown, because radiation, in theory, does not manifest itself this way, perhaps purely because of decay products from the combustion, and the fire was not bad.
Well, we can't rule out this radioactive dust, if our "wise" people did store these uranium rockets in this plant.

Of those who leave the region, most people leave for Poland or by other regions, not many go to Russia.

Other subscribers from that area also complain of a fart in their throats, attributing it to the large amount of dust (not necessarily radioactive) that may be present in the air after a major explosion.

Two majors

Yup and smack in the middle of Western Ukraine too; they couldn't have done a better job.

Don't get me wrong, I would have much rather they kept those shells in Britain where they belong. But since they did decide to play stupid games - they can win a stupid prize too. No way would it be acceptable to wait until they moved that toxic shit further east or started to fire it onto Russian territory.

It was oddly satisfying to find out that ammo depot Russia destroyed in Khmelnytskyi was hosting 1000's of British DU rounds, karma truly is a bitch and Ruthenia(Western Ukraine) got slapped pretty hard by her.

Haven't watched him since the start of the war

And wow I got to say, either he's doing some rather sophisticated satire here, or he's turned into a total Ukropropaganda clown  
This sort of make-believe he's spouting here is the same sort of thing that he was once naming and shaming Ukrainian politicians and propagandists for doing every time.
In Russian only unfortunately

It seems that the background radiation level increased 2 days before the strike according to that EU source.

And DU is not radioactive (rather it is toxic when ingested) especially while stored normally hence just moving it to that location wouldn't raise radiation levels, so this story seems like bullshit.

On May 15, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft shot down Mi-24 and Mi-8 helicopters of the Ukrainian Air Force in the areas of the settlements of Selidovo and Brusovka in the DPR . Also on that day, air defense systems intercepted the Storm Shadow long-range cruise missile, which was recently supplied to Ukrainian formations by the United Kingdom

As sources familiar with the situation told Izvestia, an active air confrontation has unfolded in the sky over the past three days. The Ukrainian Air Force is trying to strike with Storm Shadow missiles. They are launched by specially modernized Su-24s under the cover of MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters with HARM anti-radar missiles. To ensure the safety of its aviation, the Ukrainian command is actively using false targets in the form of UAVs.

According to the interlocutors of Izvestia, the Russian Aerospace Forces have shot down several Ukrainian aircraft and one Storm Shadow in recent days. There is also an application from air defense systems for two more downed missiles of this type, but so far the information is being verified
