No name supplied for this lost looking soul, but I wouldn't be very optimistic about his chances of seeing out the next fortnight.

German evening news mention that Russia has paid some of its foreign debt that was due through cash reserves in foreign countries....

...my theory: this is connected to the suspicious recent deaths of several oligarchs in foreign countries. Russian oligarchs, even if they live in foreign countries, are essentially regarded as assets of the regime (the regime being the same as the "national interest"). Maybe they refused to hand over their assets?

The Ghost of Kyiv, if the media is to be believed, has died at least 10 times since the start of the war.

 

 

Ukrainian military confirms that Ghost of Kyiv, as most expected, is not a real person and was a war rumor that sprung among the people and spread by the media. While Serhiy Tarabalka was a Ukrainian pilot killed in combat, it happened over a month ago. 

 

That said, I wouldn't worry - I'm sure the Ghost of Kyiv will die in the media at least 5 more times before the end of the war.

You'd expect the Ghost of Kyiv to haunt folk regardless!

Rumors going around that Russia's Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov will personally command Russian troops in Izyum and has been sent to the front.

 

If he's actually there as reported, my guess it that he'll be dead by Victory Day.

Rumors floating around Twitter and FB that Gerasimov was injured (shrapnel to the leg) and medvaced to safety. 

 

Not sure about reliability but if that's true, it didn't take long did it?

FSB Major General Yuri Sulin apparently purged. 

 

Maj. Gen Simonov, mentioned a few posts up was reportedly killed in the same blast that injured Gerasimov, along with 20 other officers.

Hadn't escaped Bucha, she was bedridden and starved for a month during the Russian occupation. She was hospitalised after the town was liberated by Ukrainians.

NATO should be declaring war now. It’s gone on long enough.

 

Being vaporised in a nuclear blast is much more humane than what those Russian fuckers are doing to civilians.

Ok so you want the world to end? I’m sure all 7.9 billon of us would be very happy to hear that someone supports ending the world. Go back playing the pipes.

 

What we actually need to do is assassinate Putin and coup the government not end the fucking world over this.

Ah, I can't wait to see the new round of purges. 

 

Also my fave "what's going on in Russia and Ukraine" explainer YouTuber may actually die of laughter, he only barely managed to make it through the Moskva being sunk.

Now deleted, the following post appeared for a brief moment on the Instagram page of the Russian Embassy in Edinburgh:

 

"I, Consul General of Russia in Edinburgh, AI Yakovlev, categorically condemn the behavior of the military special operation of the RF Armed Forces against the sovereign, independent state of Ukraine. I fully support any assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the EU countries."

 

Embassy in London says it was a hacker, I say keep an eye out for a suicide

Apparently it exists: Tank biathlon and has existed since 2013, but it's complete Russian propaganda. (shown by how Russia has won it every year) last year 19 countries participated.

 

Multiple Asian countries (nearly all dictatorships), Serbia, Venezuela, Mali and the Russian puppet states that are South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Belarus participated last year.
