The journalists also spoke to a resident of the "DPR" ["Donetsk People’s Republic" – self-proclaimed and non-recognised quasi-state formation in Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast – ed.] who has been fighting on the side of Russia for more than two years. Recently, he learned from his neighbours that his apartment had been recognised as "mismanaged property" and could be nationalised.

They likely can't hear them coming. Shooting without earpro will do a number on your ears.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) claims to have disrupted the plans of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to eliminate Ukraine's President Zelenskyy and other members of the country's top military and political leadership.

They appear to be disarmed and possibly wounded with the shooter moving calmly from one person to the next and executing them based on the video in the article. It's unlikely they're combatants at this point which would make them prisoners.

I was wondering when they would start using civil aviation aircraft to conduct strikes. I'm not sure of the legality of weaponizing civilian assets for military purposes, but it's an effective disguise if they can log a flight plan near a sensitive target. Even if they don't hit the target or get shot down, then Russia will have to run the risk of shooting down its own civilian aircraft or stop general aviation flights near high value targets.

Maria Andreeva, a key face of the movement, has emphasized that she supports the guiding logic of the full-scale invasion, but is protesting the Russian government's treatment of its soldiers and the inability of mobilized men to be rotated out of the front line.

She also has repeated Russian propaganda about the Bucha massacre, in which hundreds of Ukrainian civilians were killed by Russian soldiers, saying that it had been "staged" by the West.

Disappointing yet unsurprising.

If you're looking for the graphic the general staff ZSU Facebook page still posts it. I'd post it myself but the numbers are usually posted while I'm asleep and someone else will probably beat me to it.

I had to look this equipment up because I was unfamiliar with it and from the Russian sources I've seen it was just deployed yesterday or at least publicized that it was deployed.

It's a Google translate of the post on Telegram, which always looks funky after it's been processed.

Nah, put a little speed tape on that bad boy and it's good to go!

What are the odds it lands on a S400 missile complex before the operators even detect it flying towards them?

Looking through the mod log, I don't blame them for nuking the whole thread. Your comment seemed respectable enough, but the others were devolving pretty quick.
