Russian @MFA spokeswoman: US should stop worrying about "@navalny's leg" and start worrying about human right violations in the US, including "antisanitary conditions at the Southern Border"
(..fast forwarding through her presser...) "Also In 1973 the US instigated the coup against Allende in Chile"... fast forwarding ... "..and in 1989 US removed Noriega in Panama"...
..fast forward "What Western values are they talking about? What about the approximately half of the US population that have doubts about the validity, legitimacy and transparency of the last elections? People who think so are prosecuted and persecuted"
One hour into the presser and she has elaborated on how miserable, oppressed and prosecuted people are in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine.

Italian carabinieri arrested an Italian navy officer and a Russian MoD diplomat (!) during handover of classified info to the Russian. Detaining a person with diplomatic status..even temporarily...is pretty extraordinary
Not a good month for Russian espionage. This just two weeks after a similar operation by Bulgarian law enforcement detained Bulgarian ex and current military officers who sold classified info to Russian diplomats.
Russia's @mfa_russia confirms the detention of a diplomat "from the office of the military attache", says it's not appropriate to comment further at this stage.

Breaking: Ukrainian authorities have obtained and passed on to German authorities extremely valuable new evidence in the Berlin Kleiner Tiergarten murder case. The evidence could be a game-changer in the ongoing trial, helping prove Russian state complicity in the assassination.
The evidence, part of which was shared with @derspiegel, includes numerous photographs from the wedding album of Vadim Krasikov - the real person we identified behind the fake name "Vadim Sokolov" - the defendant traveled under this cover name.
The wedding album not only proves beyond reasonable doubt that Vadim Krasikov's face is identical to the one of the defendant standing trial in Berlin, but have a rare, unbeatable photo: a bare-armed Krasikov has the same tattoo (and freckles) as the guy standing trial!

Not sure what exactly is happening in Bulgaria but apparently a massive security operation overnight locked down parts of the capital, with reported arrests of people suspected of spying for Russia. The chief prosecutor implicitly confirmed reports via a cryptic tweet.
A press conference by Bulgaria's prosecution going on now: 2 military officers arrested in addition to a former military counter-intelligence officer who allegedly worked on behalf of Russian intelligence to recruit and broaden the intelligence network.

Two mobile networks in Russia "experiencing connectivity problems", Russian media report, as far Eastern cities see turnout not seen since 2008.
Arrests began on Pushkin square more than an hour before the start of the protests in Moscow, riot police appears to be targeting random people. Reminds of Belarus a few months ago.
In fact all mobile networks in Russia have a spike of disruptions this morning. Given that crowd congestion in the main cities has not yet happened, it appears these are artificially introduced.
