By popular demand, as promised, I compiled a short thread of the funniest and most absurd of Russia's recent arsons (with a bit of a bonus something at the end). Do enjoy! 🧵

Doubling the joy today! I'm thrilled that my local friend Danella Olsen joined me to dance together beside majestic, frozen Fish Lake in the Yukon wilderness at -20°C.

This is Azov fighter Yevhen Chudnetsov. The the first photo shows him during his time in Russian captivity, and the second-one year after his release.
Chudnetsov, also known by his call sign "Chudik," was captured by the russians twice, the second time after leaving Azovstal.
