I understand the bomb went off in a bar that used to be owned by the leader of Wagner, Jevgeny Prigozhin, Nothing suspicious about that, of course, with Prigozhin picking fights with the Russian army and those supporting it. And the guy that was killed was a militairy blogger, very much pro Rusian army. Hmm, I smell a rat somewhere….

But hey, if they want to start killing each other: more power to them.

Yes some pretty amazing footage of the whole event and the aftermath. Follow the twitter string. Shows him being handed the small portrait sculpture then bang!

What a shocker (and a complete load of hooey): Maria Lvova-Belova, Russian children's commissioner, rejects ICC war crime allegations as false, and that she is not responsible for unlawfully deporting children from Ukraine.
Lvova-Belova told a news conference in Moscow that the consent of children's parents had always been sought, that the commission acted in the best interests of any child, and that it was more accurate to talk of guardianship rather than adoption.

This video will show you how evil and petty at the same time the Russians can be. Truly despicable.

This Russian defector, who was an officer in Putin’s personal security service, has a very interesting story to tell. Especially about how scared and paranoid Putin really is, and that the only information he receives is from his intelligence services and state TV.

Too many defections going on.....lol

 

"Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin, confirmed to the FT that travel rules had tightened since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022."

 

Russia is confiscating passports from its elites, fearing they will defect over its invasion of Ukraine, report says

Russia's security services are taking passports from senior officials and executives in state-owned companies, according to a new report by the Financial Times.

The outlet said Russia was worried about defections from people who oppose the invasion of Ukraine.

Another failed master plan by Putin.

 

Ukraine to export electricity again after months of Russian attacks

 

Ukraine is able to export electricity for the first time in six months as its energy infrastructure recovers from months of repeated Russian attacks.

 

Russia began its lengthy and deliberate assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure last October.

 

It led to power cuts and scheduled blackouts, leaving towns and cities in darkness during winter.

like Steven He would say, Putin is just a failure causing lots of emotional damage

[bannork]

An interesting discussion on how the Kremlin can't satisfy the ultra nationalists militarily.

The government's only hope is the West gets jaded supporting Ukraine.

and how long before the West can no longer do so? Doesn't look like the war is going to end any time soon.

For the remaining doubters. The intentions of the Kremlin and why the west is supporting Ukraine.

Doesn't matter. Don't resist now and it will get a lot more expensive in the future.

With respect, I am curious as to what is the reason for your obvious continuous support for Putin.

 

You seem to have a penchant for supporting authoritarian criminals?

 

Do you dislike the supporters of Ukraine so much to ignore Putin's crimes against humanity?

It is funny not ha ha funny that far right westerners that support fascists like Trump and Bolsonaro also support Putin.

I think a lot is seeded by Kremlin propaganda that is parotted by the likes of the notorious Tucker Carlson.

Yes and now the ruble is crashing because Russia can no longer afford to artificially prop it up.

[rudi49jr]

The evil that is Russia today. Kidnapping children and then beating them and punishing them in other ways because they refuse to sing the Russian national anthem. Pathetic petty b@stards.

Fortunately some of those children return to Ukraine and their parents every now and then.

He’s just a gloomy Gus who’s still sulking because Trump lost in 2020 and he’s been in a foul mood and lashing out at those darn commie liberals ever since. Just my two cents….

[bannork]

I think it's time we gave Ukraine some nuclear weapons, powerful nuclear bombs. 

I say this because once Ukraine take back Crimea, Putin will either be overthrown or he'll nuke Ukraine, imo.

So let him know if that happens he'll get the same treatment.

If he nukes Ukraine, he will very probably get the same treatment anyway, whether Ukraine has nukes or not. The minute those nuclear missiles are fired from Russia (or from Russian submarines), there will have to be an instant response from the West, because they won’t know if those missiles are aimed at Ukraine or at the West.
