Interestingly enough, people mostly don't associate it with the Germans. The majority of people here don't know about the fact. I'd doubt it would get any love if that was the case.
If anything, it's very fitting that we have knock-off German anthem in this era where we don't have any sovereignty.
Serbia is a close second, in my opinion. It's just a simpler version of The Emperors hymn by Haydn, with lyrics that consist of begging god to save the country. The fact that it replaced the old anthem (Hey, Slavs) irritates me to no end. We used to be a country

The Americans had enough juice and a team consisting of superstars that managed to just push them over the edge. A little bit more luck and a bit of brain in the refs heads would have sent us through, but alas. I'm still very proud of our boys though, hopefully we get the bronze.
In their defence, maybe they didn't think that they had much of a choice regarding this attack. Russian bloggers have been saying that their side was amassing forces in that area since the penetration into the Kharkov region. This might be a sort of situation where they attacked preemptively.

Dobrodošao na forum druže. Drago mi je da vidim još jednog Srbina ovde.
I'm struggling to find information online. There's some stats on Russian Wikipedia but translate is not working well on it. The images on google maps show that the canal itself is some 20 meters wide, with sloped sides that take up another few dozen meters. I don't know how much water is in the canal now, so it may be easier to ford. Regardless I doubt that the Russians will even start any offensive operations until they clear their side of the canal, which will likely be done in a week or two.
I measured the width to be around 70 to about a 150 meters on google maps, almost none of which is water, but the canal itself. It's not impossible to cross, especially because it's quite a long stretch of land that the Ukrainians need to guard, but it will delay and complicate Russian offensive actions for a bit.
Sorry comrade, but nothing ever happens. Them's the rules.
That's a bit of an overreaction, there's still a pretty big barrier in the shape of a canal between the central part of the city and the parts that Russia controls. They need to break through a good chunk of the line around the town to get in a position to threaten it. With the current tempo of the Russian army in the countryside, it's going to take at least a few weeks before everything is in position for an assault of Chasiv Yar itself.
[Zelensky] said he was contemplating the move to ensure the country remains led by individuals who are “convinced of victory” against Russia.
is so fucked
Do Chinese billionaires, Jenine Añez, and Shinzo Abe count?
