Levada poll: The share of Russians who say the political situation is calm or positive is decreasing lately, the share of Russians who say it's tense or even critical is rising.

I belive the U.S has a massive lead over Europe when it comes to group 4 and Group 5 UAS and stealth strike/loyal Wng drones but I must give SAAB credit. This is one of the best looking drones I've ever seen and represents a very stealthy design if production is representative.

A boy on his bike near Kramatorsk was just murdered by a russian drone. They posted this video of their crime. This is evidence this war has nothing to do with territory. It’s an attempt to wipe out an entire civilian population of an innocent county while the world watches.

How Russian propaganda works abroad, in one sentence per layer:

For the right: "Russia defends tradition." For the left: "NATO caused this." For the pacifist: "Weapons prolong war." For the cynic: "Everyone lies equally." For the tired: "It's complicated."

Five contradictory messages, one output: do nothing.

Russian propaganda doesn't need you to love Moscow. It needs you paralyzed — and it has a script for whichever ideology you brought to the table.

Whenever a take ends in "therefore, inaction," check the return address.

Ozon's Chapayevsk facility costs investments, jobs and rebuilding costs:

Jobs: 3400 - 6000
Investment: 4 - 10 billion rubles
Area: 75 000 - 76 000 square meters
Rebuild costs: 7,5 billion rubles

There's a 10 km traffic jam on the Russian M4 Don highway due to cars waiting to refuel at a gas station on the highway.

Now, after effectively running out of major Wildberries facilities,Ozon is apparently on the menu...

It’s a mourning day in Ukraine. Russia brutally murdered 15 people yesterday in Kyiv. We will never forgive … #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Last strike here was 18 April, making this the 6th strike on this refinery (7.1 MM ton/yr, 16th largest) in 🇺🇦’s “Get em down, and keep em down” strategy on refineries. Expect petrol lines in Samara commencing immediately

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 Russia has no naval presence in the Mediterranean for the first time in more than a decade.

The Kremlin’s overstretched fleet is in a “shambles”, according to Western officials, with vessels previously stationed in the Med diverted to protect Vladimir Putin’s armada of sanctioned oil tankers.

Russia set up a permanent task force in the Mediterranean in 2013, but now Putin has been forced to pull out of the region.

A Nato official told The Telegraph: “There has been nothing there since June. That’s the first time in more than 10 years. This is pretty significant. They’re not a global navy if they’re not deployed all over the world.”

He added: “Russia clearly feels threatened. They felt threatened by a small sailing vessel in the English Channel, which they fired warning shots at. That speaks to the mindset of the Russian fleet at the moment.”

In June, the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich fired small-arms warning shots near a yacht crewed by a retired British couple 20 miles south of the Isle of Wight.

The incident happened two days after the Smyrtos, a suspected shadow-fleet tanker, was seized by the Royal Marinesas it sailed through the English Channel

Other Nato nations, including France, Belgium, Germany, Estonia and Finland, have also boarded shadow-fleet ships, with 13 detained in the past six months, piling further pressure on Moscow.

As a result, Russia has been forced to keep a warship permanently stationed in the English Channel. The Neustrashimy, a frigate, is patrolling the waterway after taking over from the Admiral Grigorovich in July.

At the same time, Russia has no available tankers to refuel its warships, which limits how far they can travel. Instead, it has had to rely on “dangerous” hull-to-hull refuelling carried out by an Amur-class repair ship in the North Sea.

“Nato has created a dilemma for Russia and that now leaves them with a gap in the Mediterranean,” a diplomatic source told The Telegraph.

A Nato official added: “Russia has no oilers and the surface fleet has major issues. It’s a shambles.”

Per chi regolarmente parla di “frammenti di droni” o di droni deviati dal jamming, questo è il secondo drone, che si schianta poco dopo sempre in picchiata e sempre sullo stesso centro commerciale.

At first the Russians tried to pretend murdering a bunch of civilians was Ukraine's fault somehow, but then they decided it was too much fun to post videos of the impacts and the wounded people so they are just celebrating how many people died instead.

@MarkGaleotti Mark, you're posting something from a person that doesn't seem to grasp that Wildberries' business model was to keep months of goods of sellers at warehouses and then charge extra cause it handles packing and branding. Without the stuff in the warehouses there's nothing to sell.
