Ah nice. Another dead Russian colonel in Belgorod region.

That was previous year's.

It is a bit absurd. Russia is full of beautiful women. Who the hell thought she deserved to win?

This is the new Miss Russia. As I saw some Russians comment - "well, look at the year we had, it's only appropriate."

If (big if) they could do it, it would be a very good time to do it.

The dam was under control of Russians. Dams are built extremely robustly (obviously) and this one was built in 1950, when Soviets built with an enormous margin of safety. The only way to destroy it was to mine it with a huge explosive charge (it showed up on seismographs when it blew). And even...

From one of the Ukrainian politicians' twitter (great troll btw): Many people have a fair question: what exactly is happening now in the Belgorod region? Everything is simple. Classic boomerang. In fact, today these are... "disputed territories", a "grey zone", behind which there is a...

Certain Russian reports from the Belgorod sound just pathetic. "Ukrainian forces in attacking N. Tavolzhanka used an MI-8 helicopter. It was used to launch 80-mm C-8 rockets at our troops. We could not do anything. Only after we called in fighter planes, the helicopter was chased away." The...

Russian officer morale in the army about to plummet. Unless Russian Army responds harshly against the Wagnerites. Which we know (happily) won't happen. This is spreading like wildfire on Russian channels. Both anti- and, most significantly, pro-government.

Prigozhin's spitting in the face of the Russian regime. His former-prisoner troops have arrested the Russian Army Colonel who was preventing them from leaving, interrogated him on camera and published it.

He was definitely a mediocrity in EVERYTHING he attempted. His (well deserved) nickname in Russia was always "моль" - "moth". Yeltsin, for some weird reason, in his decline, decided to elevate this nothing to replace him. And that is when the megalomania started.

The sanctions are, and are working. Russians can barely manufacture a couple of dozen tanks a month. Very few artillery pieces. It takes very high precision machines to do so, and they were all German and Japanese. And cannot be maintained or bought again.

Current massive bombardment of objects in the Belgorod and Kursk areas of Russia (note: Russia, not occupied Ukraine) is not just an enormous embarrassment to Russia's regime, it also shows Russia's total military exhaustion/bankruptcy. They literally do not have enough reserves to defend their...

"Sale!!! For the first 3 people's republics that decide to leave Russia, 5% off on reparations payments."

Could be but here is the question: just how good is Putin's grasp on power if someone like this, who is very high up in the hierarchy of Putin's own political party and definitely has the sense of where the wind is blowing, can afford to say something like this? Such people are not suicidal...

No English subtitles. But in short: one of the top Russian Parliament (Duma) members of Putin's party, formerly a hardcore imperialist and pro-Putinist, in clear, unambiguous language, says that not one of Russia's goals has been achieved, that Russia cannot possibly win in any sense, that...

Born in St. Petersburg. Started on Minsk 22s. Left about 43 years ago for the sunnier climes of the US.

Today Moscow was hit by a swarm of UAVs. 30+. Some were shot down, some hit. None had explosives in them, apparently. A trial/warning run.

Of course I am not an impartial party. I wrote that API.
