In Russia, officials in Adygea say 13 people were injured in last night's #FriendlyFire incident near Krasnodar.
The official line seems to be all this damage was caused by drone debris, which only an idiot could believe.
However Z channels are still encouraged to blame Ukraine

Oryol gets to experience the Russian winter without power.
What are they bitching about? If they’re working 40 hours a week that comes to a whopping $3.32 an hour. And that doesn’t include tips.
They wrote to Tsar Vlad about this outrage but their plea “must have got lost” because they never heard from him. 😂😂
2/ 'Two Majors' writes:"The enemy launches over a hundred drones daily into our regions. And not all of them are included in public statistics: many are shot down, for example, over the Zaporizhzhia region [of Ukraine]."
3/ "Therefore, an adequate solution to the problems of air defence personnel and mobile fire teams is an important and necessary task. We were told (some time ago):
4/ 🖋 "Good evening, two respected majors. I remember you've raised the issue of air defence personnel's pay and salaries more than once. The attack on Krasnodar Krai has been ongoing for several days now, one might even say a month.
5/ "It's a shame your concerns and discussions aren't reaching the highest levels. We didn't come here for the money. I agree, we're defending our home. I'm from Anapa, and we all caught and fought off all the air raids on Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk in November.
6/ "Still, I'd certainly like decent pay, because when I talk to civilians, I tell them I get 60,000 rubles ($773), and they laugh, to put it bluntly.
7/ "We wrote to our supreme commander-in-chief [i.e. Putin] about combat pay, since we're considered their border region, but unfortunately, the response was silence. It must have got lost."
This Ukrainian commander needs to be shitcanned.

🤬 AFU officer tortured his subordinates: he lined them up and fired shots at their feet and above their heads, simulating a shooting, — SBI.
⭕️After that, the commander brutally beat the soldiers on the head with a military helmet: the blows were so strong that the helmet was deformed.

Then he shot the phone of one of the soldiers with an automatic gun, shot the man in the foot at point-blank range and ordered it to be recorded as “self-mutilation.”
Now the officer faces up to 12 years in prison.
That’s a hell of an explosion for a ground drone.
Two Russian mobile air-defense units get the Tungsten Treatment from Dr. HIMARS.

Ukrainian forces detected two valuable Russian air defense systems, Buk-M2 and Buk-M3.
A surveillance drone tracked them to their parking positions and then two strike - probably HIMARS tungsten rain - struck them.
Worth of those targets: around $70 million.

Running doesn’t work when the drone comes for you.
Do they teach Ukrainian drone operators to aim for the ass?
Hiding doesn’t work either.
A Russian facility to intercept communications is destroyed.
Did they commit war crimes? No.
Did they try to desert? Nope.
Were they looting or drunk while on duty? No.
They smoked their commander’s weed.
Russia murdered another three people in Zaporizhzhia.
Kyiv continues to freeze thanks to Russian terror.

How is the situation in #Kyiv?
Not very good. It is very cold, currently minus 8°C, dropping to minus 15°C at night,&ice is everywhere.
Kyiv is now living with power outages of up to 20 hours a day. Some buildings have no power at all. As of now, almost 60% of the capital is without power

Russia feeds another 1,170 into the meat grinder. Plus eight tanks and 70 artillery systems.
A Russian blogger comments on the limitations of the Russian strategy of sending a couple soldiers on infiltration attacks in which the soldiers look to penetrate defensive positions and hunker down until reinforcements arrive.
A big problem, the blogger says, is the difficulty of evacuating the wounded. Really? Since when did Russia concern itself with evacuating the wounded?

1/ The Russian army has adopted infiltration tactics to slip past Ukrainian defences, dividing platoons into a handful of men who advance as far as they can, entrench, and await reinforcements. A Russian warblogger comments on this tactic's limitations. ⬇️

2/ This change of approach since 2024 has enabled Russia to advance slowly, though still generating heavy losses along the way. 'Archangel Spetsnaz' writes: "Indeed, assault tactics have changed dramatically."
3/ "The wide range of detection and engagement systems and means has, figuratively speaking, "brought to its knees the old tactics," whereby company/battalion-sized offensives were carried out at the frontier.
4/ "Infiltration" tactics are currently proving more effective with fewer personnel losses, but at the same time, they are not without a number of problems that must be considered when planning a combat operation.
5/ "▪️When sending three or four stormtroopers, it is necessary to understand:
▪️Such a group becomes ineffective when 300s (wounded) appear, since the removal of one wounded, as a rule, requires at least four people for the variable evacuation of the wounded and his equipment.
6/ "▪️Evacuation for small groups is unlikely to be organized. It's difficult to imagine a situation where an evacuation team would advance into an area under enemy fire to evacuate one or two wounded. Losses in this case could be even greater.
7/ "▪️Supplies of ammunition, food, water, and other necessary equipment for completing the mission are very limited. It's important to remember that the last group dispatched must reach the troop deployment point before the first group runs out of food and water.
I hope he remembered to pack his knee pads.
Say what?
Let’s check in on the Russian economy.
It’s easy to see how this play out — veterans won’t be hired in the first place.

👀 Russia’s expelled spies are turning on each other.
After more than 700 diplomats were kicked out and left jobless, rival intelligence officers began leaking on one another amid fierce competition for the few remaining posts.

According to The Insider on January 21, this occurred after more than 700 Russian diplomats were declared persona non grata, most of whom were career spies. Due to the lack of available positions in other countries or state corporations, many of them were unable to find new employment.
These anonymous reports, sent to the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergey Naryshkin and to the presidential administration, reveal the scale of internal conflicts and corruption schemes among Russian spies. One such letter mentions the Deputy Head of the SVR's Illegal Intelligence Division, Herman Bykov, who is accused of using his position for personal revenge against subordinates and sending them on foreign assignments for his own benefit.
One of the major scandals involved the publication of videos by Ukrainian intelligence in the spring of 2025, which showed hidden cameras installed around the SVR headquarters in Yasenevo and the SVR Academy in Mytishchi. These videos, which were obtained by the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK), not only captured the vehicles of SVR officers but also revealed internal documents and anonymous correspondence that exposed corruption practices within the SVR. One of the letters noted that Bykov was using his position for personal gain, sending colleagues on foreign trips, benefiting from their personal travels.

This post makes valid points. But it has been and continues to be my contention that it does no good to slam people who are your natural allies.

both russians and americans share the same bingo card of lame excuses.
we hate this government too, it’s not that easy to change it, we didn’t choose this president, i went to a protest actually, don’t equate the people with the government etc
they’re all guilty and they know it. #UkrainianView

Russian channels are now proliferating a fake story that says the Russia's "Oreshnik" missile caused an earthquake in Ukraine's Lviv region.
🚫Russian Lie: "Oreshnik" caused an earthquake in the Lviv region". Such information was spread by Russian propaganda after the missile strike on January 9th.
