Good news. 🇺🇦 troops are moving southwards along the canal towards western Klishchiivka. These open fields have been abandoned by 🇷🇺 forces. To the north of Klishchiivka, battles are being fought at the forest strip. Russian VDV units have been pulled to stabilize the situation. pic.twitter.com/4WEAnJt217

Hmm. 🤔🤔🤔

On Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow would take an "appropriate" military response to any British-supplied Storm Shadow.

Russia changing their tune fast, from "WE'LL GIVE UK AN APPROPIATE RESPONSE" to "Ah, it's fine, Storm Shadow won't have an impact"

Almost like Russia is all bark and no bite.

This is retired Russian Air Force General Vyacheslav Lobuzko. He was paid to set up the national air defense system against cruise missiles and ballistic missiles in Russia. Turns out the system doesn't work because he embezzled the money. He was arrested earlier this month. pic.twitter.com/dJtTURQp4U

Prigozhin calls for a rebellion.

He called the "special military operation" a stupid war, soldiers - the only innocent ones, and the events on the frontlines - a tragedy.

Will he be the one to start a revolution? pic.twitter.com/YFKDDG35Q3

I was thinking for a while already that he as setting himself up as a successor for Putin, playing up the "being like a father to his men" card while pushing all the blame for failures to the military to make himself look like a better, more effective leader.

At this rate, I think it just needs a serious protest in one of the republics to possibly spark a rebellion from that region, one that could spread to other federal republics. Dagestan and Chechnya are probably the two regions most probably to be spark to the powder keg.
