Almost 3/4 (71%) of the Rus population support the conduct of a military operation in Ukraine.
Shows data of 2 surveys conducted by a group of independent Rus sociologists VTSIOM with an interval of 1 & 1/2 weeks from the end of February to mid-March.

The Ukr announced a counter-offensive a day or two ago there but it looks to have been a virtual one AFAIK
@200_zoka#RussiaUkraine#Biolabs
Sample of documents so far discovered related to the Ukr Biolabs. Russia has lodged docs & data with the #UN but they say they don't have the mandate or technical capability to launch their own investigation atm 😀

As a result of the fighting near #Kiev, peat bogs caught fire
The Ukrainian capital and suburbs are shrouded in smoke
@200_zoka#RussiaUkraine
Pic of Ukr Nationalists in #Mariupol (undated) in the industrial zone. Kiev gov has rejected their pleas for an offensive to relieve them saying it's impossible. They've also rejected a Rus offer to disarm them & evacuate them. Basically they've written them off
@200_zoka#RussiaUkraine#Ka52
Another Ka-52 video from Ukr...reportedly attacking camouflaged Ukr positions in the woods (that's what the pilots are saying)
@200_zoka#EU considering using confiscated funds of Rus Oligarchs to fund Ukr
It's noteworthy that these confiscations were carried out without declaring war on #Russia & without any court decisions. And it is not entirely clear what the western based oligarchs have to do with #Ukraine
@200_zoka#RussiaUkraine
The Ukr General Command admitted publicly that they have lost all access to the #AzovSea.
Unofficially, they've told their forces in #Kharkov not to expect much supplies or relief which is getting very difficult to provide..
@200_zoka Comedy break time...
I have it on good authority that preparations for the next Ukr offensive are well under way...
Here a logistics unit is bringing in the latest weaponry supplied via Poland
@200_zoka#RussiaUkraine
Bit more info on #Kinzhal / Dagger target
The strike was carried out on the 136th missile & ammunition supply center west of #Delyatin.
In Soviet times, it was a secret nuclear weapons storage base with a special underground infrastructure.
@200_zoka#RussiaUkraine
The first train with passengers in 8 years arrived from Starobilsk to #Lugansk...since 2014 it was too dangerous due to Ukr fire
#RussiaUkraine#KH47M2
Said to be footage of the #Kinzhal#Hypersonic missile before impact on the underground Ukr weapons depot.
Looks legit but can't say 100% confirmed
#RussiaUkraine#Bulgaria
Pro-Russia, anti-Nato rally in Bulgaria
Their PM announced that they'll be stopping the use of Rus Gas. Not clear what they intend to replace it with since the vast majority of their supplies come from Russia
❗️After a pause of several days, NATO chose to launch an attack on a Kursk (Khalino) airfield with ATACMS missiles. To distract and overload the air defense system, the attack involved drones also. Unfortunately, not all missiles were shot down.
◾️The Khalino airfield in the Kursk region, is one of the sites where reinforced concrete shelters are being built at a rapid pace.
◾️Based on the published footage, it looks like 2 missiles got through and released their cluster munition payload.
◾️The exact damage caused is unknown at the moment, although it's reported that combat aircraft were moved from the border airfields and relocated further inland a while ago.
The following is a summary from several opinion type pieces
Objectively, NATO countries and the bloc's leader, the United States, have two basic options for further action:
1. Raise the stakes and continue using Western missiles on the "old" territory of Russia,
2. Abandon this and return to the previous framework of the conflict in Ukraine.
However, the second option is an admission that Russian deterrence has worked, which means significant image loss for the West.
Western missile strikes on the "old territory" have continued. Either the United States does not believe in Russia's use of force against the North Atlantic Alliance, or the outgoing Biden administration has decided to actually start a war in Europe, a scenario which it sees as favorable for the US
Therefore, the choice facing Russia is now extremely simple.
The first scenario is one in which Moscow relies on defeating the enemy on the front where it is doing well, and does not respond.
Then the level of escalation from the opposing side will increase. The next targets could include the HQ of the SMO command in Rostov-on-Don or the Black Sea Fleet base in Novorossiysk or the Crimean Bridge again.
The second scenario is Russia raising the stakes, that is, a more powerful response than the non-nuclear test of "Oreshnik". A response that could be limited to the territory of Ukraine OR expand into NATO countries.
The Russian leadership has a lot of options for action, and here it is a question of exclusively political will. Although for some reason the West does not believe the Kremlin will escalate to a level causing a large scale direct clash.
Let us also add that if the first scenario is chosen, new types of Western missile weapons may appear in Ukraine and Moscow and St. Petersburg may be under attack.
The use of a "dirty" nuclear bomb by the enemy is also a possibility
1 civilian car was damaged with people inside...there are dead https://t.co/APLpFssAyFtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We don't know what caused the explosion at the Crimea bridge at the moment but some channels are speculating it could have been an attack with small naval drone
The Naval drone theory is seen as the most likely explanation due to no air raid alarm and the nature of the damage… https://t.co/oPbRlDGfWztwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
🇺🇸MQ-9 Reaper drone reported shot down at Kirkuk in Iraq.
The Pentagon says it crashed due to technical problems
People are being evacuated from the area where the bomb dropped recently in Belgorod....some reports say there is unexploded explosives or another bomb
