Comrade!!! == Remember when a door closes on you in Russia.= A window always opens!!!

Oh well that’s easy - If Russia says Ukraine did it, it means they did it themselves. If Ukraine had done it, they’d have said it was an accident.

What people don't understand about the ferry that was heavily damaged is that it can carry 50 standard tank cars loaded with 70 tons of oil each. Literally 3500 tons of processed fuel per trip. Like four million liters of fuel each crossing.

Another mysterious death in Russia.
Well-known Russian economist and researcher of Socio-Economic Development Institutions Valentina Bondarenko “falls from window and dies”. Bondarenko was 82-years old but continued forcasting and modeling socio-economic trends in Russia.
As always, Russia is “investigating and establishing the reason”.

My god russia is a total mess. First rampant inflation and now car bombings, on top of losing to Ukraine. It is tough here in Russia, I live Samara

If all lines-of-supply to Crimea are cut Ukraine just have to wait to it running out of resources to sustain a military defense.
Just by cutting the supply is a symbolic action pointing to the coming liberation of Crimea.
This has huge moral boosting consequences for Ukrainian opinion.

Putler: "Everything is going according to plan!"

This "intelligence" officer won't be going toe-to-toe with the Ukrainians ever again.

UPDATE . He's been named, General Avin Feetov.

Mark Galeotti is just an amazing speaker! Fantastic report! Super clear and interesting!

Crimea belonged to Ukraine at the end of WW1.

Budanov had warned there would be consequences for the poisoning attack on him and his wife.

[rgsnr]

the problem is with dictators like putin you never know if it is resistance fighters or putin's elimination squads

[marianprzybylski-efrs]

Targeting someone with the same name unlikley they would have been watching their target

[proselytizingorthodoxpente]

Probably something to do with infighting amongst the Russian regime

8:56 “Symbolic” - they were getting attacked constantly with cruise missile from the sea, until they started attacking these ships. What kind of gibberish is he talking… “symbolic”

[luciavento]

Please note, Crimea was not always Russian. Catherine the Great annexed it in 1783. Khrushchev returned it to Ukraine.

[Stobb]

In other words, thanks to the crimlin’s denial we know it WAS a high ranking military/intelligence officer at it WASN’T just someone with the same name…🤔

[JackAstor]

Always so strange how the russians know within minutes who is responsible for the attack! Very strange. I wonder if maybe they just decide on who they could blame so that they look good.

[chrissmith-wqgr]

Russian intelligence ? This has to be a joke 😂😂😂😂
