Putin nimmt deutschsprachige Menschen in Russland auf der Suche nach Kanonenfutter ins Visier
Eine Propagandakampagne drängt die ethnische Minderheit, die etwa 400.000 Menschen zählt, sich der Armee anzuschließen und gegen die Ukraine zu kämpfen..."
Thanks, Kevin, for pointing out this interesting article in the first place and for boosting its (automated, but cross-read) translation.
This is actually a tactically brilliant move by #Putler. Already, there have been several attacks on #Ukrainians by #Russians in Germany, at least two in #Bavaria in recent weeks...
The #Russians made a 'deal' with the 'devil' (#Putin)
a bit like people who agree to pay bribes to the Mafia...
Putin gives us stability;... we DO NOT ask questions'
but as ALWAYS
deals with the Devil... DO NOT work
they bring SEEDS to ruin.
Driving at night in #Kharkiv is even more of a nightmare.
There are barely any road markings and many of the road signs were torn down to confuse the #Russians advancing into Kharkiv in 2022. The GPS doesn't work because the #Ukrainian forces spoof the #gps
There are also constant power cuts which mean that, in the winter, you find yourself driving in complete darkness after 3pm.
@MAKS23 Now the #Russians will have to decide whether their real enemies are the #Ukrainians who don't target ordinary civilians, or Islamists who slaughter M. and Mrs Average in their everydaylife...
But trust #Putin to make up (out of nothing at all) a supposed link between Islamists and #Ukraine (probably via the Crimean Tatars and the #Atesh resistance movement?)
"Oleksii Yukov spends many of his nights dodging drones... hoping not to be targeted by #Russian artillery as he races to collect the remains of fallen soldiers from the battlefield.
"Viewed from drones over the battlefields across eastern #Ukraine, #Russian soldiers can be seen frozen in the moment of their deaths, motionless on frost-covered fields pockmarked with craters. They are sprawled atop the blasted out armored vehicles or alongside destroyed tanks.
At least 13 people were injured in the attack, which included #Iskander and #Kinzhal missiles and damaged, among others, a kindergarten and residential buildings.

QT @pluralistic - Hard to overstate how enshittified Google Maps has become. Went looking for my local locksmith. Gmaps shows 20+ fake locksmith referral scam outlets and doesn't even register the real locksmith, despite being fully visible in Street View.
Instead, a red pin on the shop identifies it as a fake locksmith scammer. The real locksmith - which has been there SINCE 1942 (!!) and is a verified merchant - doesn't even show up.
@Ruth_Mottram allow me to point out that majority of contributors to #organicmaps seem to be #russians; let's ask them directly if they in any way (by paying taxes for exapmle?) support russian crimes in #ukraine, and if they recognize that #crimea illegaly occupied by #russia in 2014 is ukrainian territory and should be returned?
A Russian paramedic in the Krynki area (occupied part of Kherson region where Ukraine has a foothold) is complaining about way too many injured Russian soldiers he has to treat. He is also wondering why Ukrainians and their weapons and drones are so mean to the Russians. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia#Putin
Today, we had a largish raid group of 11+ to take on an #OriginFormePalkia in - it turned out to be a good raid.
Just for fun, my strongest ditto was backing up my mega salamence who was in #1 position. Turns out that the ditto's shapeshift did not cancel out my salamance's mega form which was a happy surprise 😁
"Any Russian who has the bravery to oppose Putin endangers themselves. Many courageous people have sought refuge in Germany. We're committed to providing full protection to these individuals and are doing everything necessary to fulfill this duty," Nancy Faeser stressed. #Russia#Ukraine
"What a marvelous day of watching Republicans and their media enablers react in dramatic fashion to the explosive revelation that a key source – their main source, no less – of the bogus Biden bribery allegations underlying their impeachment push made it all up and was in bed with foreign intel services, including the Russians."
"I have a feeling of déjà vu. Just like in February 2022, as columns of troops approached my city of #Kyiv, I have a feeling of impending apocalypse. Back then, my worry was the #Russians. I was thinking of my inevitable death, of soldiers laying their hands on me, torturing me just because I am #Ukrainian.
This time, the sinking feeling comes from the #West. Our allies, who promised to support us as long as it takes, have other problems to deal with."
Serbia is formally seeking to join the #EU but its increasingly autocratic president Aleksandar #Vučić has refused to join Western sanctions against its #Slavic ally.
Serbia had opened its borders to Russians fleeing the Putin govt but pro-democracy activists in the #Balkan country now say they faced entry bans or had residency permits revoked on grounds that they pose a threat to Serbia’s security.
...Moscow, handed a 1,500-ruble (roughly US$16) fine to artist and photographer Inna Mosina over several Instagram posts depicting rainbow flags...the posts were published before the ruling, at a time when rainbow flags were not regarded by authorities as extremist, and her lawyer argued that a police report about her alleged wrongdoing was filed before the ruling took force. The court ordered her to pay the fine nonetheless..., a court fined a man 1,000 rubles (about US$11) for allegedly posting a rainbow flag on social media.
The #Russians thought they would have to wait for #Trump’s presidency in order for the #US aid to #Ukraine to stop, but now they’re getting the same gift through his servile #Republican proxies—and #Ukrainians are paying for this despicable political game with their lives.
