a new russian offensive in the north west of the country, a ukrainian army is expanding its defenses on the bella rouge border somewhere close to the bella rouge border. under the cover of pine trees, ukrainian border guards are reinforcing their positions and she does not renew, but from these trenches are designed to protect the lives of the people in the military, e, as well as to provide defense bottleneck obama subordinate of them. so if the enemy attacks from the nearest road, if sure, our infantry will respond, it's always just that i'm a little you let us know that i am would, unquote. and he won't go into detail about their preparations and won't even confirm that he's trenches are new. that others, but you can smell sawdust and the board seemed dry and clean. in the distance,

deli cold winter nights are especially trying. one organisation is helping with food and shelter. it's early morning on a frigid day in daily and scores of people have lined up for up up of what d and breakfast for most of them, it may be the only decent wheel they'll have to do. this is just one of the locations where the charity viji car data. our elder brothers home, as it is called an english is tribute ford, who migrant workers and the homeless youth brothers come a jeep and green g. sing round the organisation, a large group of volunteers joined them every morning. during winter they also had the destitute in other ways. apart from giving out food. in the gold through the mulberry finder derby. believe hm. they don't have you know warden with molding.
