Ukrainian forces destroyed a rare and costly Russian TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" heavy flamethrower system, valued at $15 million, in the Zaporizhzhia direction. This system is considered a "pride" of the Russian military-industrial complex. pic.twitter.com/C6CXJK06mi

‼️🇵🇱Pavel Rubtsov aka Pablo Gonzalez, the “Spanish journalist” arrested by Polish authorities in February 2022 is also part of the prisoner swap.

I hope those who doubted Polish counterintelligence finally accept this as a confirmation that Rubtsov was indeed a Russian spy. 👀 https://t.co/zOdjXtillY

A disappointing and uncharacteristically stupid statement from Kara-Murza. Nemtsov's addage of "Don't touch the country; punish the scoundrels" was defensible when Russia wasn't engaged in a full-scale genocidal war against Ukraine which the Russian people widely support. https://t.co/ueuFW06y61

Sanctions imposed against Russian oligarchs/regime elites can be targeted and specific.

Sanctions imposed to punish wider state behaviour that are designed to impose societal/economic consequences have to be broader by their very nature.

This is not difficult to understand.

I mean I agree that not ALL Russians are responsible for the what’s happening. But dude, there are 700,000 russian soldiers currently in Ukraine and many more millions are enabling them back home. So yes, you can’t target that huge separate group of invaders, you must target… https://t.co/KLtRl11LPd

Excuse me, but about 500,000 "ordinary Russians" are right now fighting to exterminate Ukraine right now.

About 120,000 "ordinary Russians" have already been killed in this war to exterminate Ukraine, which is unprecedented since WWII, and this war sees no end in sight.

Up to 25,000 "ordinary Russians" are joining the Russian military every single month to get some real crazy money for helping exterminate Ukraine.

Russia's overall military force deployed to exterminate Ukraine is expected to grow to about 700,000 "ordinary Russians" by the end of 2024, and another wave of mass mobilization is very likely.

Yet, no nationwide protests, no military trains derailed en masse by those protesting against exterminating Ukraine, no war of national resistance in Russia to stop this madness, the idiocy of which is simply very hard for a sane mind to apperceive.

It's not just "Putin's war".

It's a war to exterminate Ukraine supported actively by "regular Russians" poisoned by the Kremlin's Nazi propaganda of hatred and/or those participating in the extermination of Ukraine for money, which meets no resistance from those who opt towards omission.

This is much deeper than just "a dictator waging a war of aggression".

This is about a very large nation, in which an aggressive totalitarian regime has built its power largely on the consolidating idea of exterminating and devouring a neighboring nation.

Worrying reports of Russian Wagner mercenaries being spotted in Venezuela alongside government forces. Wherever these thugs go, they bring death and destabilization.

This is a clear example of Russia's shameless meddling in other countries' affairs, as well as its usual strategy of sowing chaos around the world.

We see that the people of Venezuela are going through a very difficult time. And the only way out is through peaceful and democratic procedures, not through sending murderers to further exacerbate the situation.

We condemn the use of force against peaceful protesters and urge everyone to respect the people's choice. True leaders don’t hide from their own people behind mercenaries’ backs.

Ukranian military has destroyed Russian sub Rostov-on-don in temporarily occupied Crimea. It is valued at 300 million dollars. And has damaged a S-400 (check Reuters article) system.

It's the same submarine that was hit last year, we'll have to wait for satellite images but my question would be, why the actual fuck was Russia even bothering to repair that scrapheap? Lol. Should have just scuttled it after the damage Storm Shadow did to it initially, now Ukraine is claiming it's dead dead and sunk into the sea.

They might have figured that repairing the sub wouldn't be an overwhelming chore, relatively easy fix. Knowing Russia it probably wouldn't even be considered seaworthy by European or American standards after the sub was considered repaired.
