Trump’s influence on political comms - even among his worst (and indeed dead) enemies - is striking.

It’s war - live and in block caps.

[Dr Adam Ure @TheAdamUre]

Russian fighters in Ukraine, hampered by restrictions to Starlink access, are now having to deal with the reported loss of Telegram for some frontline communications. The DShRG Rusich channel has accused the Kremlin of being detached from the realities of the front. Oh dear.

Russian media tells us much about the Kremlin and its policy priorities.

Putin has been silent on Moscow’s foreign policy setbacks. But he can still goad, jibe, and cajole over Greenland (with Ukraine in mind). Today’s Lvivski Review of Russian news.

When the Kremlin cannot make sense of the world (despite its efforts to control the passage of time), it can always fall back on Ukraine.

Ukraine is the Kremlin’s priority, above foreign policy and the domestic economy.

Kommersant reporting that Russian President Putin will meet Steve Witkoff tomorrow.

How Moscow is messaging that it is not isolated on the global stage, but has a like-minded coeval: Trump.

Looking back at my Substack post from April last year. It's incredible that the situation is even more fraught than I imagined.

"Lyudi Baykala", a fantastic Russian investigative outlet, has been included in the Justice Ministry's list of "foreign agents", along with other entities.

This severely represses its activities. A huge blow to a rare and excellent source.

Putin returns from holiday to confront a world that might be developing out his control.

Also the growing role of envoy Kirill Dmitriyev in Kremlin messaging.

Are regional leaders the weak link in the technocratic system that Kiriyenko is building?

How the ‘system’ might be unable at the regional level to tackle unprecedented crises brought about by the war.

Belgorod Oblast Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov has admitted of how bad the local situation there is, with widespread cuts to energy.

The Kremlin’s apparent battle to insulate Russians from the impact of the war, and the possible risks in revealing it.

[Lvivski @lvivski]

Gladkov is taking a risk in this announcement, drawing attention to the direct impact of the war on Ukraine. Z-Bloggers are already outraged.

Talk shows return to Russia after holiday time away, and their main task is to reassure viewers that they are not losing control over events… or time.

'International politics can be very complicaterd. This isn't, it's simple... They want this regime gone!'

Author of 'Nuclear Iran', David Patrikarakos, on protests in Iran to bring down Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's regime, and what could replace it.

[Dr Adam Ure @TheAdamUre]

Several Ukrainian and Russian sources are reporting that Moscow (highly likely Kiriyenko) has warned state media not to compare the length of the "special military operation" to the length of the "great patriotic war".

[Dr Adam Ure @TheAdamUre]

Just your reminder that the war started in 2014: not 1418 days ago.

Let's not forget those Ukrainians who have suffered for the last 12 years, lost their homes and families, who have undergone the most horrendous brutality.

Let us not normalise Russian occupation anywhere.

[David Patrikarakos @dpatrikarakos]

Iranians have gathered outside the BBC to protest its lack of #IranProtests coverage.

“Ayatollah BBC!” They chant.
