Firing your most competent general is very on brand for Russia lol

Surovikin is removing from his seat during two months along, I hope this news indicates the end of the process.

Putin should seriously consider hiring Woody as a propagandist account because he does a much better job than the regular accounts most of whom are all depressed and dooming over Robotyne’s liberation

Putin can only do this after Woody is fired by his Chinese handler, Compucomp.

Actually, the reverse is closer to the truth. The only foreign media outlet that's allowed to publish on Chinese social media networks is Sputnik. And when it posts things at odds with the official PRC line, it doesn't get censored. Remember that the CCP was founded as a branch of Comintern, and all of its dirty secrets for its entire history are safely stored in the KGB archives.

Stalin managed to quarrel with the Comintern and dissolved it long before he managed to put Mao at the head of China. In my opinion, you attach too much importance to the false wrapper of post-Marxists. And what do you want to say? Allegedly, Putin and his "KGB" control Xi? LMAO. The PRC turned the game around a long time ago and is now taking revenge on Russia for Stalin's gift.

A significant development, as the Orthodox NATO and EU countries (Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece) have been the some of the most hesitant in militarily supporting Ukraine due to religious and historic ties with Russia:

They should be informed that Ukraine is also an Orthodox country. Since the 10th century to the present.

It's always fun to laugh at Russian incompetence:

Don't laugh. Give me one space program that hasn't had expensive failures.

This is ridiculous because modern Russians preach their national exceptionalism and accompany this expedition with a record amount of booming pathos. It's as if a person put on a Superman suit and ran to save the world with the music of Hans Zimmer, but suddenly tripped over a curb and broke nose.

...and so it begins

Though with substantial non-Orthodox minorities.

In Russia, the palette of religious minorities is much richer. Including own sectarians, Old Believers and neo-pagans.

Even before you get to the bitter split (even pre-war) between the Russian and Ukrainian churches.

Given that the Russian Orthodox Church collaborated with Nazi Germany and the Russische Befreiungsarmee in WWII, and now blesses Putin's idiotic war against Ukraine, to break away from such a Church means to keep the faith.

In essence, the Russian Orthodox Church has long turned into something between its own Russian ethno-religion and a division of the KGB, which has little in common with global Orthodoxy. The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople condemned the Russian Orthodox Church. Therefore, if Orthodox countries want to support some Orthodox country, they have to prefer Ukraine, not Russia.

I am skeptical but Purin will have a lot more inside information to make thia claim.  

Somewhere I have already heard this phrase from you in its entirety. With it, if you look like a resident of a country like Russia or the PRC, then from that part of society that has not seen anything but villas and yachts. Because the real skepticism of the inhabitants there is that they perceive the meaning of the words of their authorities as the reverse of what was said. Well, if I'm right about your origins, then your words should be treated the same way. Thus, we're translating your "I am skeptical, but..." as "I am a naive, beautiful-hearted child who takes everything at face value," and the second part of your sentence is immediately ceasing to contradict the first part and is beginning to harmonize with it.

Give up Jaichind, even if Russia wins Putin will still purge you.

He's safe. Putin only purges his most competent minions, those who have shown to have their own agency.

We just hear about them louder.

A leader of the neo-Nazi Rusich PMC has been apprehended in Finland and will, allegedly, be extradited to Ukraine. Rusich was famous for providing detailed instructions on how to commit warcrimes on Telegram, including one on how to inflict fatal - but not visibily fatal - injuries on POWs, so as to avoid alerting commanding officers of extrajudicial killings.

Rusich's spokespeople on Telegram have claimed they will refuse to fight until the Russian government does something to free him. He may yet end up in a prisoner exchange. He had previously been deported by Norway and fought in a militia in Syria, and was under sanctions. I'm not sure how he ended up in Finland.

Yan Petrovsky, the deputy of Alexei Milchakov, who is the real leader of the Rusich sabotage and assault intelligence unit, consisting of neo-Nazis. The unit is associated with the fascist organization Russian Imperial Movement and is also considered part of the Wagner PMC.

Good news. I hope these detailed news are not too quick, because the Russian troops are happy to use leaks of Ukrainian information.

Word on the street that Zelensky is going to be reshuffling his cabinet soon, apparently there’s a new scandal involving a Ukrainian owned Turkish company that cut corners on winter uniforms they sold to the Ukrainian military that ended up costing the government millions and Reznikov didn’t crackdown hard enough on them about it so he’s expected to get demoted to some ambassador role and out of MOD

It's a pity to hear the misappropriation of Ukrainian army funds, because there were also my small contributions.
