Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital

Guardian: Iran smuggles long-range combat drones to Russia for war against Ukraine.
 

I see the evil regime in Teheran still has no qualms whatsoever to provide the equally evil regime in Moscow with weaponry to continue its illegal war against Ukraine.

Sledgehammer execution of Russian mercenary who fled shown on video

 

Feb 13 (Reuters) - A video showing the sledgehammer execution of a former Russian mercenary who fled the Wagner mercenary group while fighting in Ukraine was shared on social media on Monday.

 

In an unverified video published by the Grey Zone Telegram channel, which is linked to Wagner, a man identifies himself as Dmitry Yakushchenko, 44, and says he was born in Crimea and left prison before joining Wagner.

 

"I was planning on finding some loophole, just, as they say, to run away," he said, adding that it was "not his war" and that he planned on leaving.

He'll soon move to Africa, where he makes most of his money.

We’ve seen quite a few Russian commanders being fragged by their own troops, so hopefully a disgruntled Wagner mercenary will soon end Prigozhin’s miserable life. Anybody else is welcome to do that as well, for that matter. Most of the Kremlin clique could do with a bullet between the eyes as soon as possible.

'Our Losses Were Gigantic': Life in a Sacrificial Russian Assault Wave

Russia's Wagner mercenary group has reportedly recruited tens of thousands of prisoners to fight in Ukraine. But the growing number of casualties and extrajudicial executions make it much harder to find volunteers, even in prisons.

Many convicts are now worried that they can be simply forced to go to war - and migrant workers from Central Asian countries find themselves particularly vulnerable.

Anuar came to Russia in search of work in 2018. He was later imprisoned for drug trafficking and sent to serve his term at Penal Colony Number Six in Vladimir region. The BBC is not disclosing his real name and citizenship for safety reasons.

At the end of January, he told his father that a group of Central Asians had been sent to fight in Ukraine without their consent. "There are lots of Uzbeks, Tajiks, Kyrgyz there in that prison. Now they are planning to send another group and my son is worried that they will force him to go too," Anuar's father told the BBC.

US 'deeply concerned' by reports of Russian plans to take over Moldova

 

The allegations had concerned the White House, with its national security spokesperson John Kirby saying the move would "certainly not be outside the bounds of Russian behaviour".

 

Though rumours of the Russian takeover plan couldn't be independently verified, he said they were "deeply concerning".

I know absolutely nothing whether ones or others plan to take over Moldova.  Perhaps you know more?

 

I am just amazed about your logic you have expressed:

"Russia's foreign ministry rejected the reports." Which obviously means they are true............

Do you similarly think about every foreign ministry in case they reject reports accusing them of something bad? ("which obviously means they are true").

 

In these days we know about a very serious investigated report by own citizen - quite respectful one - that was rejected as a nonsense.  I assume that's not the case you would have on mind, would you?

Not so surprising fact while the country is in the current turmoil, not only under the spell of war but also under the many sanctions. Perhaps it's compensated by the high number of the immigration, especially from Ukraine, almost 3 M officially, unofficially much more.

Enforced migration to Russia of Ukrainian refugees. I doubt they have the IT skills of the Russian educated class who have fled Russia.

Enforced migration? Perhaps it explains why the Russians do not have enough manpower for the combat: the military is busy with the migration enforcing.  In order to enforce 3M it needs really a lot of henchmen...

I'd say the fighter jets was never a starter anyway. They cost huge amounts of money and with the back up and spares etc the cost could run into billions just for planes. I doubt Ukraine has the people that can maintain the computer systems on them, let alone the engines, and without them they are just expensive exhibits.

Even America does not have an inexhaustible source of money, and Britain is already in financial strife.

Good to see some Thai media is picking up on the lies being spread by the Russian trolls and officials.

 

A year of disinformation around the war in Ukraine

 

The war in Ukraine has been accompanied by a ferocious battle of disinformation, waged in particular by pro-Russian agitators seeking to distort and shift the blame for many atrocities on the ground.

 

These agitators have sought to depict the Ukrainian side as Nazis or suggest that Western support for Kyiv is evaporating.

 

Here are some of the main narratives, false or misleading, that have been fact-checked over the past year by AFP’s digital verification teams.
