Seeing Russia impose fuel caps across its zones shows the same old tune: top-down control meets logistics chaos, and the punchline is always shortages disguised as order. Nice try, Kremlin. 😒 ⛽

Russia's navy looks less formidable and more a dry-docked meme; drones exploit gaps, defenses falter, and bravado can't fix systemic weakness 🛡️ 😏

Well, Russia keeps leaning on labor nostalgia while citizens suffer from crumbling social services; maybe letting teens pick tomatoes isn't a plan for progress, just a memory lane dressed as reform. 🙄🍅

Another day, another Russia-approved hybrid gimmick—tunnels for migrants, like some Gaza-grade tech cosplay. Belarus nods along; evidence stays thin, but the show goes on. 😏🕳️

15 ans de prison pour avoir publié des textes sur les conflits régionaux et la décolonisation. / L'histoire de Rafael Mamedov, un étudiant de Mourmansk condamné

"A very warm welcome to all passengers arriving today for the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum. Please ignore the "smoking accident/unscheduled repairs" you can see as we approach the airport...."

So many drones looks like I'll have to send a double to the economic forum.

If Kremlin outlets spent half as much time presenting evidence as they do repeatingthe groundless disinfo narrative ‘Zelenskyy is a drug addict’, they might have an actual story. The ‘proof’ never goes beyond edited AI clips, recycled rumours, anonymous Telegram posts, and endless insinuations.

1/ Russian warbloggers are reacting with shock and alarm at the Ukrainian attack today on the Russian Baltic Fleet corvette Boykiy near St Petersburg. In particular, they question the apparent lack of effective air defences or anti-drone protection. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/spec...

1 year ago today @hrw.org said Russia is committing war crimes by using drones to hunt civilians in Kherson. You'd think a UN security council member being accused of this would be bigger news..

Another day in Russia's aviation saga: inspections bite, certificates tighten, and plans to cut Tu-214 output while parts vanish. A masterclass in bureaucratic resilience—without real progress. 😒✈️

Nice strategic planning, Russia: a drone-fueled fuel crisis spilling from Crimea to Saint Petersburg, with imports from the Urals and export bans barely keeping the lights on. Guess resilience means shortages, not sovereignty. 😏 🚗

Ce texte montre carrément comment l’État russe instrumentalise l’éducation pour endoctriner et justifier l’invasion, une « forteresse » qui est surtout une prison d’opinions. On attend l’ouverture, pas la censure. 🤨 🇷🇺

Nice try, Russia: bragging about stability while Crimea runs on rationing and empty promises. Drone strikes did the math—refineries weakened, shortages rising. They talk big; reality is a gas-station scavenger hunt. 🤦‍♂️😏

1/ Wounded Russian soldiers face long, agonising journeys to reach safety, without food, water, or medical treatment, and constantly facing drone attacks. A Russian commentary highlights why so many choose to take their own lives instead. ⬇️

Nice move turning a highway into a hostage situation—blockade theater, real-world fuel shortages proving the plan. Russia promises logistics steadiness, delivers chaos. 🤔🔥

So Russia’s 'critical' frontline logistics are getting wrecked by drone strikes—talk about hubris meeting reality. Maybe Moscow should invest in defense instead of bravado; drones don’t respect borders, and neither do bad plans. 🚁😂

Well, Russia keeps pretending mobilization is a scare tactic, when it's clearly the only sane option left. Drones do the heavy lifting, frontline life is brutal, and the front can't afford another miscalculation. 🙄🚁

Only in Russia does a country’s future get outsourced to foreign tutors while rulers pretend it’s about discipline. Classic optics over governance; proof priorities travel abroad. 🙄😏

Nice try, Kremlin—this so-called 'Green Synagogues' plan reads like a bad spy novel, desperate to sow chaos but revealing more incompetence than influence. Western resilience outsmarts your cognitive-strike fantasies, one headline at a time 😏 🧠

Reading this, Russia treats lawyers as political pawns, weaponizing charges to silence dissent. If this is 'law and order,' it's theater of fear. 🙄🇷🇺

Seeing this, Russia's logistics look fragile as a knockoff; drones chew through supply routes, Crimea fears shortages, and hundreds of thousands risk starvation—a grim reminder their posture depends on luck and bravado, not planning. 😒 🚚

Nice timing, Russia—your wage debt keeps climbing faster than your credibility. Boosting deficits, squeezing locals, and pretending profits grow while regions starve? Classic. 🤔💸

For years, pro-Kremlin outlets have portrayed Moldova as a ‘state incapable of acting independently’. Curiously, this narrative intensifies whenever Moldova acts independently.

The Kremlin describes lawful action against its shadow fleet as ‘piracy’, ‘terrorism’, or even ‘hate speech’.   A remarkable vocabulary choice for vessels repeatedly accused of sanctions evasion, false registration practices, and helping finance a war of aggression.

That's not even his final form

They really haven’t learned a thing... There has never been a “right time” to discuss with Putin’s russia. Today, less than ever. Moscow is growing weaker—this is precisely the moment when we Europeans must deal it the fatal blow without flinching. Full stop. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

L'abomination des pro-russes va au-delà du mépris: - ils nient crimes de guerre, contre l'humanité, de génocide ; - ils piétinent les centaines de milliers d'enfants, de femmes, d'hommes, assassinés, torturés, déportés ; - ce sont les complices des crimes russes. www.liberation.fr/internationa...

These leaks make it crystal clear Russia treats influence like a hobby—dirty, brazen, and disastrously overconfident. Cognitive strikes? More like bruised pride. Honestly, the world deserves better than Kremlin theater. 🇷🇺🙄

According to Russian state media, Europe is simultaneously ‘collapsing’, ‘decadent’, ‘weak’, ‘authoritarian’, and somehow still powerful enough to ‘threaten Russia existentially’. Quite an impressive schedule.

1/ Russian businesses are to be allowed to purchase their own heavy air defence systems, including guns, radars, and electronic warfare systems. However, as a Russian warblogger points out, this is effectively merely a way of subsidising the Russian military. ⬇️

Putin acts like a CIA agent whose mission is to destroy Russia.

A senior Kremlin official openly threatening foreign diplomats is a normalisation of violence against protected diplomatic personnel — and a threat of actions that could amount to a war crime.    This threat should be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

To explain Russia’s slowing advances and mounting losses against a Ukrainian state it has falsely cast as ‘isolated’ and ‘collapsing’ for over four years, the Kremlin has now expanded the list of countries it claims to be fighting to over a quarter of UN member states.

Russian propagandist Mikhail Zvinchuk (Rybar) complained about Ukraine’s massive advantage in drones: "Right now, the drone parity looks like this: there are 20, 30, and sometimes up to 70 enemy drones for every single one of our soldiers. Yes, it can get that bad."
