Putin just signed Decree No. 604.
It legalizes the outright theft of any Russian critical infrastructure hit by Ukrainian drones. The Kremlin can now impose “temporary administration” on any facility deemed “insufficiently protected.
” That covers oil refineries, fuel depots, factories, ports, railways, power plants, and nuclear sites. Real estate, securities, shares, property rights, all fair game.
Rosimushchestvo, the state property agency, becomes the new boss. They’ll inventory everything, run the assets, and finance operations from the very income those facilities generate.
Owners get their property back only when the government feels like it. The list is exhaustive.
It includes the fuel-energy complex, transport and logistics, communications, utilities, nuclear energy, and anything Moscow labels important for “security and economic stability. ”
In plain language: every time Ukraine burns another refinery or logistics hub, Putin’s gang seizes it.
This is protection. legalized nationalization triggered by Ukrainian strikes.
The harder we hit their rear, the faster Moscow eats its own oligarchs alive. Their “special military operation” is now devouring Russian business.
And this is only the beginning.
Andrii Melnyk just eviscerated the UN Security Council on Ukraine’s Independence Day. Russian ballistic missiles and killer drones tear apart a great European nation day and night.
The “international community” offers nothing but another sterile meeting. Limp condemnations.
Cowardly abstract formulas that dare not even name the aggressor. The Ukrainian ambassador called the situation a disgrace.
The Council has failed to act. It has failed to hold Russia accountable.
It has failed to stop the daily genocide unfolding in plain sight. Russia’s veto is an abusive power-play.
a fig leaf the aggressor hides behind while committing crimes against humanity with total impunity. Worse, some members still shake hands with Russian diplomats.
They chit-chat over routine agenda items. They pretend there isn’t a genocidal war raging in the heart of Europe.
Moscow can keep slaughtering civilians, and no one will impose real consequences, this “business as usual” sends one clear message. Enough with the traditions.
Stop pretending we’re bound by silent truces. Enough with the pathetic excuses.
Every innocent death now stains the conscience of this useless Council. The veto must be stripped of its power to shield war criminals.
Inaction is complicity. The world is watching.
History will judge.
Ahead of his sham elections, Putin is trying to look like a "strong leader." That is why Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukrainian cities and is trying to kill as many Ukrainian civilians as possible.
Putin cynically claimed that "strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities are effective and timely, helping Russian troops accomplish their combat objectives." In reality, Russia is making practically no progress on the front lines and is therefore waging terror against Ukraine’s civilian population.
Putin also said that Ukraine is "trying to intimidate Russians and disrupt the elections, but Russia will not allow this to happen."
That’s ridiculous. How can you disrupt something that does not exist?
Why does Putin need this illusion of elections?
Demonstration of legitimacy. The regime wants to show, first of all to the outside world, that it relies on formal democratic procedures.
Testing of the state apparatus. Election campaigns serve as a general check for local officials and governors. Their ability to control the situation, mobilize the electorate, and demonstrate the results needed by the Kremlin is assessed.
Cohesion of the elites. This is a signal that the current vertical of power is effective and strong.
Demonstration of support for the course. Voting is used as evidence of Russians' support for state policy and the war.
@Chuha72202477@rshereme Désolé le débile de russe, c'est une demilitarisation de l'entrepôt, les Ukrainiens ne ciblent pas les civils contrairement aux nazis russes 😘
HODGES: Until we inflict consequences on Russia for all these drones violating airspace, sabotage, disinformation and etc, it’s only going to increase, and that’s how we eventually get into more traditional war, because Russians can see that we still can’t get our shit together.
🇩🇰 PM Frederiksen: What we can see in Ukraine right now is that if you don’t have adequate air defense, you're challenged.
If you don’t have drone defense, you're challenged as well. If you can't strike back against ballistic missiles, then people are simply killed.
If we're to have ballistic missile defense so that we can protect both Ukraine and potentially our own societies, then we need cooperation across national borders.
We can produce quite a lot of the capabilities we need ourselves in Nordic countries, some we can make together with our European allies, and some with allies outside Europe.
