The irony is that they are stripping an award from a Jew who the UPA in Volyn would have killed just as quick as a Pole.Meanwhile, Poland take back one of its gongs from Zelensky.

TWZ has an absolutely amazing collection of videos showing the latest Ukrainian offensive against oil refineries around Moscow. The videos do show some cases where Russian AD systems take out Ukrainian drones (and in one case an Ukrainian UAV hits a construction tower), but for the most part the AD systems are ineffective.

Ukraine's large-scale strike on Moscow, triggering massive explosions and fires, may indicate a new phase in the long-range air war. Ukrainian drones strike one of Moscow’s most critical oil refineries, triggering massive explosions and fires.www.twz.com

They also killed Ukrainians who didn’t agree with their interpretation of things.
Just doing some cursory reading on them they are a very mixed bag. At times they fought just about everyone including the Germans, at other times they were allied with Polish resistance groups.
I can see how they would be romanticized by the Ukrainians as they were mainly fighting for a Ukrainian country. Just as I can see why they would be hated by the Poles for some of their disgusting actions in pursuit of that goal.

As someone who’s Mothers family came from the old Austrian province of ‘Galicia’ and is Polish descent, I know this history well.
As a resident of Sherwood Park - officially the world's largest hamlet - I'm flattered we made the list!
I have 3 refineries within about a 5 minute drive of me (the ones on refinery row)
But little Fort Saskatchewan has 11!! Poor buggers
(Don't get confused folks, it's here in Alberta & is about a 5-7 minute drive up the highway from me)

Gas stations can no longer dispense fuel for cash payments, non-cash payments, or coupons to individuals or legal entities.
As of today, all fuel on the peninsula is for government use only.

From the Henday it all looks like one tank farm. Kind of like the images from Moscow.
Thanks for the correction.
I regularly visited Sherwood Park on business. Never Fort Saskatchewan.
