The new 100-ruble banknote introduced today by Russia's Central Bank, featuring the Soviet Soldier Memorial, cannot be introduced into circulation as ATMs & cash registers cannot be updated to recognise new notes due to sanctions. 100% of Russia's cash registers are imported.

Отговор за тролове: „Защо мълчаха за Донбас 8 години?“
За тези 8 години на ООН е предлагало (ВНИМАНИЕ) 11 пъти по искане на Украйна да изпрати миротворци в Донбас и всичките 11 пъти е налагано вето от една страна. Познайте от един път за коя страна става дума.
The challenge with assessing military power is that it needs a context to express itself. I've said this before in other venues. You can't assess military power in the abstract, it is not like counting money. Forces never walk off paper neatly onto a battlefield. 6/
dear Western journalists...
there is a crucial distinction, guys, between the left map and the right map.
russians move by big roads, hence it is just misleading to deem all the territory between those roads as russian.
it is not.
it is where the civilians fight them.
Today's video of Putin.
The fact that he was sitting close to the stewardesses after a 20-meter distance from his own ministers, already looked strange.
But... Wait, what is this?
Each time when Russian liars say they don’t drop bombs on Ukrainian cities, show this photo of a residential apartment building in Borodyanka, Kyiv region. Russians bombed the town for two days, killing many civilians. Stop barbaric Russia now. Close Ukrainian sky. Act now!
Когато се събудим...
Мордор се опитва да превземе най-голямата атомна централа в Европа, Запорожката АЕЦ. Обстрелва се без прекъсване. Има пожар, но пожарникарите не могат фа пристъпят към гасене заради несъхвашият обстрел.
Sergei Radchenko has a good thread here, and I am always informed by my colleague's historical perspective. I'm probably a bit more optimistic on this score, despite typically pessimistic outlook. I'll just add this meme that is supposedly making the rounds in Moscow.
PS To all officials and media: STOP CALLING PUTIN 'PRESIDENT'! He's a dictator. Words have power. He does not deserve a democratic title. Fuck your style guide. "Russian dictator Vladimir Putin".
6 Every day Ukraine endures gives opportunity to communicate this catastrophe to the only people who can really stop Putin, the Russian people, from oligarchs to commanders to protestors. Let all in the power vertical know they will be treated as war criminals. They are. 11/13
4 It's always tragic that ordinary people suffer, but they are not being bombed in their homes like Ukrainians. Every element of Russian society that can pressure Putin must know they have to choose between him & everything else. Some will cling to him, but for how long? 9/13
