This is a despicable crime — you fire a missile at an apartment building, which starts a fire. Then you wait a little while, long enough for rescuers and firefighters to arrive and fire another missile to try to kill them.
Ukrainians hit the jackpot, finding a convoy of Russian trucks loaded with ammunition. Might want to put those fires out, guys. Just sayin’.
Since he’s a prison inmate, I guess that means he gets to lead a meat assault.
In early 2023, the former mayor was sentenced to 16.5 years in prison for bribes worth 38 million rubles (~$300,000). The sentence was later commuted to 12 years in prison.
This is not the first time that a convicted or defendant Russian official has gone to war to avoid criminal liability. Earlier, former deputy head of Khakassia Sergey Novikov, convicted of bribery, went to the front lines.
Twenty to one is staggering.
I have no problem believing that North Korean ammunition is crap.
A Russian correspondent was killed by shrapnel while doing a report about shelling. I’m not sure you can call someone who works for state-run media in Russia a journalist. But even if he was, reporting from a war front is a very dangerous job and sometimes journalists get killed or wounded.
Farewell to another quisling.
Russian losses were high again today. 36 armored personnel carriers and 33 artillery systems, plus 1,130 troops.
It’s not as spectacular as an ammo dump going bavovna, but it leaves the Russians without a way to see what’s going on.
Russia isn’t the only one who can target energy infrastructure.
An undignified way to go. The drones will even find you while you have our pants down.
He seems nice, in a Jeffrey Dahmer sort of way.
Now they’re war criminals.
At the end of August 2022, Inna Varlamova arrived in Kherson region together with Mironov's first deputy in the State Duma, Yana Lantratova. They did not leave alone. The local occupation authorities issued power of attorney for them to take out two children - 10-month-old Margarita Prokopenko and two-year-old Ilia Vashchenko, Hromadske reported. These children lived in an orphanage in Kherson before the full-scale war began.
In December 2022, Sergey Mironov and Inna Varlamova adopted Margarita Prokopenko, taken from Kherson. She was just over a year old. At the request of the adopters, the personal data of the child can be changed, which was done: the girl became Marina Sergeevna Mironova. Her name and parents were changed, but also the place of birth: instead of the Ukrainian Kherson - Podolsk near Moscow.
This is freaky. If you look at the photo, the kids are wearing cams hats and black bags — as if they are in body bags. It’s seems like a sick hyper-nationalism — as in everyone is willing to die for Russia.
The text above the photo is as follows: "Military party or Birthday party in military style. To undergo the course of a young fighter, take the oath and receive military ranks are the main objectives of a Military party for boys and girls over 7 years old.The program includes: combat equipment, minefield passage, bomb throwing and much more."
Gosh, I can’t imagine why.
Rest in peace.
Too much coffee?
Life in the trenches is so glamorous.
Christmas in a frequently targeted city.
It’s amazing they survived.
It’s so cold they need two kittens to stay warm.
Anybody got a light?
