A well-connected Russian deputy defence minister has been charged with bribe-taking, in the highest-profile corruption scandal in the country in years, triggering speculation about a possible purge within Moscow’s elites. Timur Ivanov, 47 ... was detained by the FSB services late on Tuesday evening

neolib · 2024-04-24T16:42:50+00:00

The arrest of a senior defense official on bribery suspicions signals Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu’s diminishing status and the rising influence of the security services, two sources in the Russian government and a person close to the Kremlin told The Moscow Times.

Latvia latest country to call on citizens to leave Russia amid warning of possible 'terrorist attacks'

Following the warning, the UK issued a similar warning recommending that UK citizens refrain from traveling to Russia citing the risks and terrorist threats.

Germany urged German citizens and those with dual citizenship not to travel to Russia in the near future, while also stating on the government’s website that the German Embassy in Moscow and the Consulate General in St. Petersburg will be closed on March 8, 2024.

Guys like this, Navalny, and Nadezhdin are fake opposition. In Russia all the political parties are in collusion just like in USA. The west, CIA, is assassinating these guys to make Putin look bad. The way to tell is they stop short of calling for a revolution. But if elections are rigged they'd have to know a revolution is needed.

In a significant development, Western states have reached a consensus to implement two price caps on Russian oil products. Meanwhile, discussions on international trade continue to influence economic policies across the globe, while individuals explore diverse avenues such as acquiring a CBD vape pen in Canada. Notably, refined products, whether trading at a premium or sold at a discount to crude, will now be subject to distinct caps. This decision marks a strategic move in regulating the pricing dynamics of Russian oil within the Western market.

The war crimes prosecutors are satisfied, that the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children amounts to war crimes. It's the prosecutors who get to decided what to persue, not you.

Also, yes I suppose it's quite difficult to expressly demonstrate forced relocation to Siberia, internal exile, happening today.

In each of these stories, you will see proof that you are right, and I will see proof that I am right, and neither of us will really agree

In either case, people are being made into refugees or internal migrants because of the Z invasion and war crimes.

Now let's wrap up some other nonsense you said.

no, Ukrainians are not killing 'themselves' just because the soviets invaded and conquered Ukraine a century ago.
there absolutely is torture happening, it would take a few seconds searching to see the pictures and videos and interviews. You can check out gulagu.net if watching torture videos if your kind of thing. It's proven and undeniable, there are thousands of victims already working with Ukrainian government prosecutors. There are phone intercepts which you can listen to, of ruzzians admitting what they did, including the Wagner runaway who reported to Vladimir Osechkin about torturing children and infants in soledar.
the common Ukrainian can only signal to you so many ways, that he wishes to be free on his own two feet. Its up to you, to remove your blindfold and witness what the common Ukrainian has been telling you for decades.
yes, the soviet union invaded free Ukraine, overthrew their rada and hetmanate, and installed ruzzian rule, and that's why Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union.
it's a war crime to kidnap children. I think I remember you commenting in the thread I made, where the children were interviewed and described being kidnapped across ruzzia. I think it was when this happened but I'm not gonna go digging for the saidit link. https://twitter.com/SaveukraineUs/status/1644707096376606722
whether or not you can find someone who went on the record to say, yes, I was deported to Siberia against my will - forced relocation and passportisation of the occupied regions is absolutely happening. Torture and ethnic cleansing is absolutely happening.
ruzzians don't have democracy, don't make me laugh. Even they know that. Go to the "politics" section of any news website in the free world and you'll see discussions of local politicians and local issues. Some mayor or governor suggests something, there's debate, the news media comment on the topic of the day. But - go to the politics section of ruzzian media like tass, Komsomol, even pikabu (ruzzian Reddit) and you'll immediately see what's missing from ruzzian politics.

Euronews's source is Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister, Iryna Vereshchuk, she's known for outlandish propaganda. NPR is complaining about custody centers for war orphans, and calling it a war crime! Lul wut. EU political report offers no evidence for deportations, it just says Russia wants to have elections (oh no, not democracy!) and some unspecified sequence of events could somehow lead to mass deportations. And UACrisis confirms what I informed you of, mass deportations haven't happened in 70 years.

If you actually cared about the Ukranian people why wouldn't you want them to surrender and survive. The common man is probably better off being a Russian citizen, this war only benefits the Ukranian Oligarchs and US geopolitical interests.

Surrender means the end of Ukraine and the torture chamber, deportations to Siberia and ethnic cleansing.

The common man wants Nutella, paved roads, indoor toilets, and to stay out of the torture chamber. None of those things are available to ruzzian citizens.

According to this article, Russian civilians were killed on the bridge. Two parents were killed and their daughter injured.... Russian civilians. This could incite the Russians to attack Ukraine even harder. The previous time the bridge was attacked, Russia responded by hitting multiple cities in Ukraine. So what now?

“There of course will be a response from Russia. The Defense Ministry is already working on the corresponding proposals,” Putin said.

As the Freedom of Russia Legion explained last week, they used the cover of the large scale incursion to enter moscow oblast also. Last week we also saw a massive fire in the government district and explosions in the wealthy residential neighborhood. Here's the Legion hinting at their entry to moscow

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intel-gathered-partisan-activity-moscow-155800231.html

It's notable that this is notable.

For about a week now, Kyiv has been under massive rocket and drone attacks every night. One such event in muscovïa, and it's international news.

I would rather live in the world, where everyone is bored of hearing repetitive news, about the nightly attacks on muscovïa.

Hopefully we're not that far off. As soon as the main theatre of this war moves into the Bilhorod People's Republic, we can all forget about the war, and it will just be an internal problem for the Z dipshits

For Ukraine to permit russian troops in Belgorod would be like America allowing Chinese troops along the border with Mexico.

And the ABSOLUTE last thing we should allow is for the CSTO expansion to grow to include Belgorod.

Putin and the muscovites just needs to accept that Bilhorod is part of Kyivan Rus' sphere of influence

I wonder which part seems like bullshit to you? Do you think Biden+Burns never tried this during his trip last month, or do you think they did but the bit about Putin's response is bullshit? Which part do you find unbelievable.

Here's Newsweek, who reached out to both the white house spox and the ruzzia's united nations undersecretary.

Bullshit.

Site_rly_sux · 2023-02-02T16:40:27+00:00

. One of the clues is a confidential conversation between the NZZ and two influential foreign politicians, one from the governing coalition, the other from the opposition. Both insist on anonymity because what they say independently is explosive. In mid-January, US President Joe Biden instructed CIA chief William Burns to assess whether Kyiv and Moscow were willing to negotiate.

The offer to Kyiv read: peace for land, the offer to Moscow: land for peace. The "land" is said to have been about 20 percent of Ukrainian territory. That's about the size of the Donbass. Both sides, the two politicians report, refused. The Ukrainians because they are not willing to have their territory divided, the Russians because they assume they will win the war in the long run anyway.

On the one hand, these statements are explosive because they give an indirect insight into the views in the White House at the time of Burns' trip. According to the two German foreign politicians, Biden wanted to avoid a protracted war in Ukraine and was prepared to give up parts of the country. If this account is correct, Biden would not be alone in his stance in Washington. A new study by the Rand Corporation ("Avoiding a long war"), a renowned American think tank, concludes that "avoiding a long war is a higher priority for the United States" than for Ukraine "control of their entire territory».

Are you drunk?

Seriously - you are repeating the blatant mistake.

First of all. Nowhere in the article does the interviewee talk about wasting 1000s of rounds. That's another invention by you for the purpose of strawmanning.

Second, the "20 vs 200", is in reality, 20 Ukrainian defenders to what the interviewee estimates "let’s say 200 from their side". So when you wrote about wasting ammo on "20 Ukranian stooges" you betrayed your absolute misunderstanding of the interview or context of the scenario being discussed. Which is why I ask whether you are drunk right now.

Third, if you think I personally am claiming that Wagner are drugged, then you need to sober up, because anyone with a room temperature IQ can see that CNN's interviewee from the UAF is the one claiming that. And he gives sensible reasons for believing it, which are drawn from his observations and experiences, which are also described in the article.

Fourth, you forgot to address why you invented that whole bit about assembling barrels. You didn't read that in the article - it came directly from your imagination to the frontal cortex, and from then on, you had actually tricked yourself into believing that it was part of reality. Isn't that worrying? Don't you worry about the chain of custody, from imagination directly to the firmament of reality. That's how schizophrenic people behave and I think it should worry you more than it seems to.

Yes, their rifle is hot so they put it down and pick up another AK-47, and then use that until it is too hot.

They're wasting hundreds/thousands of rounds, and overheating rifles on 20 Ukrainian stooges?

That's idiocy. It's not realistic.

That's called a strawman argument - you invented a strawman. How does it feel realising you just did a cognitive bias.

Says the guy who claims Russian troops are drugged during combat.

Yes, their rifle is hot so they put it down and pick up another AK-47, and then use that until it is too hot.

The whole imaginary scenario of disassembling the barrel like it's a machine gun - that's a fabrication which you invented, and you invented it because it sounds silly and would be easy to disprove.

That's called a strawman argument - you invented a strawman. How does it feel realising you just did a cognitive bias

AK-47 rifles became so hot from constant firing, Andriy says, that they had to keep changing them.

Site_rly_sux · 2023-02-01T21:40:33+00:00

Where does it say they disassembled and swapped barrels? You just made that up.

This fella learned about combat on TV.

Okay, so you're feeling a narrative need, to minimise the combat intensity of these UAF soldiers.

Let's explore a bit, that desire which you're experiencing.

So if the UAF soldiers are not really having to fight much...then....why hasn't the ruzzia won yet? Why is Bakhmut still contested, if the combat on the Ukrainian side is happening only on the TV?

I get that your narrative requires minimising the lived experience of ukrainian soldiers....but you ought not do it in a way that clashes with the rest of your narrative

“We were fighting for about 10 hours in a row. And it wasn’t like just waves, it was uninterrupted. So it was just like they didn’t stop coming.”

Their AK-47 rifles became so hot from constant firing, Andriy says, that they had to keep changing them.

“It was about 20 soldiers on our side. And let’s say 200 from their side,” he says.

This is hilariously stupid. He's imagining swapping overheated barrels on an AK. As if it's a machine gun. They can overheat. But you don't disassemble it in combat.

And a 10 hour firefight of 20 against 200?

The Russians probably forgot to bring hand grenades?

A "Kyiv-controlled city"?

I think there's a word for that - it's "Ukraine".

Artemivsk /Artyomovsk /etc is the ruzzian name for Bakhmut ("salty water"), the ancient Cossack Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. Funny story - Joe Stalin had a friend called Artem, and so Joe decided to steal from Ukraine the name of one of its cities. Everyone was supposed to call it Artemivsk now, and if you refuse to call your ancient Cossack city by the new name of Stalin's friend Artem, then you're a dirty nationalist who gets sent to Siberia. Nothing really changes in the evil empire, huh. That's why, this time, we're going to split the ruzzia into it's constituent republics, like what we did to AustriaHungary.

Site_rly_sux · 2023-02-01T19:53:16+00:00

Disguised in a balaclava, Andriy recounts one seemingly endless firefight when they came under attack by a flood of Wagner fighters.

“We were fighting for about 10 [straight] hours []. And it wasn’t like just waves; it was uninterrupted. So it was [] like they didn’t stop coming.”

“They make the group – let’s say from 10 soldiers – reach 30 meters, then they start digging in to keep the position,” Andriy says of Wagner.

Another group follows, he says, to claim another 30 meters. “That’s how, step by step, (Wagner) is trying to move forward while they lose a lot of people in the meantime.”

When the first wave is exhausted or cut down, Wagner sends in more experienced combatants, often from the flanks, to overrun Ukrainian positions.

Andriy says facing the assault was a frightening and surreal experience.

“Our machine gunner was almost [going] crazy because he was shooting at them. And he said, I know I shot him, but he didn’t fall. And [later], when he maybe bleeds out, he falls.”

Andriy compares the battle to a scene out of a zombie movie. “They’re climbing above the corpse of their friends, stepping on them,” he says.

“It [seems] very likely that they are getting some drugs before the attack,” he says, a claim that CNN has not been able independently to verify.

Even after the first waves were eliminated, the attack continued as the Ukrainian defenders said they ran out of bullets and found themselves surrounded.

“The problem was that they went around us. And that’s how they surrounded us. They came from the other side. We didn’t expect them to come from there."

“We were shooting until the last bullet, so we threw all the grenades [a few guys and I had and left]. We were helpless in that situation.”

They were lucky. Held off until the last moment, the Ukrainian fighters say, Wagner withdrew at the end of the day.

In the UK you can say what you want about the state, but you can get arrested if your words maliciously harm an individual.

In the ruzzia, it's actually encouraged to be as malicious as possible to one another, but if you offend the state then you can catch a 15 year sentence - longer than the traditional tenner for political crimes under Stalin.

I am interested in debate on this because I think you're wrong. But you've written so many lies that it's hard to just pick something out.

To begin with, you have called 2014 a coup, and you said that no effort was made to hide western involvement.

I think this is a lie. I have never seen any evidence for a western coup in 2014. Maybe you can provide extraordinary evidence for this extraordinary claim you made, and we can debate the evidence on its merits.

Then just to pick out another random lie you told. You said that Boris Johnson's visit in August is why the peace talks broke down.

Perhaps you're forgetting that the actual reasons for breakdown involved ruzzia's poisoning of Rustem Umerov and Roman Abramovic.

Why don't you provide extraordinary evidence for your extraordinary claim that Boris Johnson's August visit to Kyiv is in any way related to a breakdown in talks.

There are so many lies told, like I said, it's hard to focus on just one. But there's two which we can start off with. Are you interested in debating this or not

In addition

I probably see ten unique russians die on r/combatfootage or similar each day. What percent of Ork killings do you think make it to Reddit? Multiply deaths by, what, 100?
Where is russia's prewar army of 300k if you truly believe they have only a handful of casualties? Why did they mobilise if they still had their prewar army?
