Lt. Gen. Vasyl Maliuk, a 42-year-old career security officer with broad shoulders and a stern mien, has earned a reputation for innovative operations with explosive naval and aerial drones that forced Russia to withdraw much of its Black Sea Fleet from its base in occupied Crimea and damaged dozens of oil plants and military-production facilities deep inside Russia.

This thought makes hope possible: and in this hope, though life will still be painful, it will be no longer purposeless."~Bertrand Russell“Water does not resist. Water flows.
