Ukrainian forces destroy 20 invaders, two S-300 systems, radar in southern Ukraine

I look forward to the intense air campaign from Kherson to Crimea.

War should be banned worldwide, but I don't know how such a ban could be enforced.

The Antonivskyi bridge in the Kherson region was hit again.  Fubar now.

And the Bayraktar drone that Lithuanians crowdfunded is in use.  There's footage of it getting a direct hit on a small collection of ammo while it was being unloaded by truck.  Very sudden and large boom.  Lots of Russian families are getting Ladas right now.  Or nothing.  It's kind of a crapshoot.

Ukraine destroyed a logistics convoy carrying ammo on the Antonivskyi bridge when the bridge was hit

I stand corrected.  That bridge is megafubar.

Declare war on war?

Yes. Hunt down and kill all belligerents. What? 8^D

This is the dawning of the age of Ultron (since Aquarius flopped).

Yeah, it's a paradox! ;-)

Ammo depot in Donetsk detonates for at least 4 hours

If ammo detonation lasts for more than 8 hours, see a doctor.

One problem with that.  Once we declare war on something, it will never cease--witness the war on drugs and poverty and terrorism.  So, now, drugs, poverty and terrorism will always be with us in this country.  On the other hand, we must have declared war on war right after the Rev. War, because we have been at war constantly with one enemy or another ever since.

Soon.

Russia reportedly gearing up specifically to slaughter as many civilians as possible

Most of their attacks have targeted civilians, but apparently it's their primary goal now.

Maybe Putin thinks civilians will give up and force the government to surrender when they realize they are being targeted.  But they were targeted before and I haven't heard Ukrainian citizens calling for the government to give in to Russia's demands.

Total surrender could lead to unbridled carnage, rape, and enslavement.  No one wants to be owned by the Russians. The fall of the Soviet Union didn't happen because occupied countries liked having the Russians there.  They were glad to see them go. I had a Czech friend whose mother went to visit relatives in Czechoslovakia, in the 1950s.  She described a horrible place to live.

Russia then was still a backwards prewar society, and there was no reason to allow their territories to live any better.  And today, there is still no reason for any country to want to be part of Russia.  Maybe someday, but not now. 

Ukraine destroys two command posts and two ammo depots in Kherson region

All in all, a fairly quiet day.
