Yandex ride shares turned out to send riders' data to Moscow, to the FSB.
Meanwhile, little Estonia's Bolt is all over Europe and respects its customers' rights and their privacy.
Incredibly interesting. The "ITAR Free" movement has oft been a bit of a dream rather than real action plan, due to cost of pivoting supply chain - but hard times call for quick measures. Will be interesting to see if this is a unicorn or the tricke before a flood.
Another two ships have left the Irish port since this video, straight to russia.
Important to remember this hasn’t slowed down. Ireland is still helping the Kremlins war machine. Aughinish still operates.
People ask: “What will happen to Ukraine now that Ukraine is bombing Moscow?”
Let’s think.
Will Russia invade us?
Bomb our cities with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles drones?
Destroy our civilian critical infrastructure?
Occupy our towns?
Rape and kill civilians, kids, women?
Kidnap Ukrainian children and train them as soldiers ?
Set up filtration camps?
Torture and starve POWs?
Use chemical weapons on the front line?
Wait.
Russia has already done all of this.
In case you plan on playing the “wait for their response” game, today’s strike on Moscow WAS a response. For Ukraine’s holiest place bombed. And for dozens of cities & towns razed to the ground. And for 20 thousand kids kidnapped. And for 700 kids dead. And…
What does really seem just a little bit suspicious though is that there’s supposed to be a giant 2-km-wide river called the Dnipro and a forested island in the background behind the Lavra, instead of those massive residential high-rises in this piece of AI slop (to begin with).
Also, what’s crystal clear here is that @BowesChay is a fucking imbecile pushing brain-dead Russian war propaganda for peanuts.
A few things happening at once that people should connect.
Russia is now linked to the arson attacks on the Prime Minister's house and car last year. Shocker.
And we all saw what happened the moment that story broke. Our feeds flooded with a different story about who the men were and why they did it.
That's the operation. The arson is one half. The disinformation campaign is the other.
Flood the zone, muddy the water, get the country shouting at itself instead of asking who is behind it.
And at the same time, a chunk of the accounts pushing Scottish independence on X went dark the night Israel hit Iran's nuclear sites.
Ask yourself why. Why would hostile states be interested in sowing division across the country?
This is exactly what I mean when I say defence is the thread underneath everything now.
Again, it isn't tanks on a border. It's an arson attack on the PM's front door and state-sponsored disinformation campaigns in the replies. It's the argument about breaking up our country being run out of Tehran.
This is why resilience matters. And it's bigger than just factchecking a tweet. It's energy we can rely on. Industry we actually own. Institutions that are rock solid. Communities that don't split and fracture the moment someone pushes them. A country that is built to take a punch.
That's the job now.
Pretty accurate:
“First, we'll destroy the Lavra, Ukraine's largest and oldest costume collection at the Dovzhenko film studio, smash the House of Organ Music, and then ask, oh where is your culture, oh where is your heritage?
And what we can't destroy, we'll steal from the occupied territories. And what can't be destroyed or stolen, we'll appropriate and say that you stole it from us.
Well, that's pretty much how it's always been.”
We're happy to see that alongside Sasha Jost, Maria Dudko was also sanctioned.
Our @United24media article, co-authored with @jessdalynews, was the first piece to highlight her role in spreading Russian propaganda.
You're welcome, Maria.
Russia launched a "Geran-2" drone strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
The "Geran-2" is a Russian version of the Iranian Shahed drone. The SSU has established that some of its components were manufactured in the "Alabuga" special economic zone.
As a result of the attack, the cathedral's roofing, domes, walls, and glass windows were damaged.
The strike has been classified as a war crime.
Russia will be held accountable for all its strikes.
Some people in the West still speak of Russian high culture.
Look carefully at this photograph.
The holes in the wall of the Dnipro House of Organ and Chamber Music is what Russian culture looks like when it arrives uninvited.
Last night, Russia struck Dnipro. The organ hall — destroyed. A college — damaged. Enterprises, infrastructure, residential buildings across multiple districts of Dnipropetrovsk region — struck. An ambulatory clinic. A market. Schools.
A 64-year-old man is in hospital. A 46-year-old man is in hospital.
Russia did not accidentally hit a music hall. Russia does not accidentally hit anything. It aims at what it aims at — and what it aims at, consistently, across four years of full-scale war, is the places where civilians live, study, heal, and listen to music.
The Russia that has been fighting this war for four years — looks like this:
A destroyed organ hall in Dnipro. That is Russia.
A bombed ambulatory clinic in Nikopol. That is Russia.
A struck school in Synelnykove. That is Russia.
A music college with its walls blown out. That is Russia.
This is not what Russia exports to international festivals and cultural forums. This is what Russia exports when it has bombs instead of invitations.
You may never have been to the real Russia. You are looking at it now.
Study every hole in that wall carefully.
That is the "Russian world." That is what it does when it reaches you.
Ukraine has been holding it back since 2022.

A bit of history. The Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechers’k Lavra was once blown up on Moscow’s orders before — in 1941, when retreating NKVD officers booby-trapped much of central Kyiv and killed thousands of civilians to assassinate a few Germans.
Then, just as with the Katyn massacre of Polish officers in 1939, the Soviet Union blamed the destruction of the Lavra on the Nazis. The Dormition Cathedral was only fully rebuilt after Ukraine became independent.
