Hackers have got hold of orders from Russia's most popular delivery service and plotted it out on a map.

Interestingly, hundreds of separate people have ordered food to near the Kremlin staff entrance. Many have ordered hundreds or thousands of dollars of takeout in 6 months. Image
If Putin's inner circle is chowing down on takeaways, their aides seem to be ordering it for them, with an absence of big names in the data.

For example, Andrei here, graduated from a prestigious Moscow university in 2014 - just the type to be getting a plum job meeting couriers Image
Likewise with the State Duma - Russia's national parliament - just around the corner... Image
Crikey. There's even a fair few to the Lubyanka building, formerly the headquarters of the KGB and now home to Putin's FSB security agency.

Also apparently home to Anton, who graduated with a master's degree in linguistics in 2019. Phone numbers and emails are included. Image
They say an army fights on its stomach and, while Russian troops in Ukraine were reportedly sent in with just three days worth of rations, the top brass seems to have spared little expense on ordering in.

Here's the Ministry of Defence, which has a scenic view over Gorky Park. Image
But it's not just Russian officials with their data splashed across the internet. The US embassy has plenty of diplomatic food dispatches for Lauras, Laurens, Josephs and Davids. Image
A friend who works in financial investigations writes: 'you don't have to use your real name on Yandex.'

But people do. Stupid people who should know better but don't think twice about plugging their details into a food delivery service.

Stupid people like me... Image

“It’s like living in a cage – people running around looking for medicine while young mothers are helping each other find baby food”

The Lachin Corridor, the only road in or out of Nagorno-Karabakh, has now been closed for a week. My report for @eurasianet
eurasianet.org/supplies-begin…
Supplies of food, fuel and prescription drugs are running low, locals say, while officials tell me the humanitarian crisis is deepening.

Azerbaijan accuses Armenia of using the road to bring in weaponry and export illegally mined gold.
With 🇷🇺 distracted by its war in 🇺🇦, its peacekeepers are no longer maintaining the status quo.

Now, what started ostensibly as an environmental protest has broadened - with 🇦🇿 activists demanding access to all territory within their country’s internationally-recognised borders.

With more and more Western nations closing their borders to Russians fleeing mobilization, countries like Georgia and Armenia are being left to bear the brunt.

I spoke to those arriving with nothing, locals being priced out & policymakers for @OCMediaorg
oc-media.org/features/suitc…
Hundreds of thousands of Russians arriving "will have severe security and socio-economic implications and possibly cause a more significant crisis in certain regions," MEP @MarketkaG tells me, arguing the EU should "increase support to maintain stability in the South Caucasus".
‘There has been crumbling confidence in Russia’s intentions vis-à-vis Armenia. That's a difficult context in which to accept large influxes of Russians,' says @LaurenceBroers, warning Georgians also see Moscow as an occupying power.

It seems that Putin’s ‘partial’ mobilization is becoming more indiscriminate, and more unpopular. Here’s a few examples🧵

A Russian woman in St. Petersburg confronts plain-clothes officials handing out summons for military service to men in the lobby of an apartment building.
Police hand out povestkas - summons to present to the recruitment office - outside a metro station on the outskirts of Moscow.

One local representative in the capital, Kirill Shchitov, has raised the issue of locals being indiscriminately conscripted on public transport.
A 24-year old Vietnamese woman, Nguyen Vu Hoang Anh, was visited at home in Moscow by men in plain clothes who handed her a povestka, effectively drafting her into the army.

She has an office job, no military or medical experience, but received dual Russian citizenship last year

Good morning from the Armenian city of Goris.

Just across these mountains is the border with Azerbaijan & the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, where there are warnings a full-scale war could break out.

I'm going to try and explain what both sides say is going on. THREAD 🧵
Yesterday, Russian peacekeepers, who have been tasked with holding the contact line under the terms of a 2020 ceasefire, reported Azerbaijani troops had carried out drone strikes killing three AM servicemen, and begun pushing into Armenian-held villages.
In a rare show of unity, the US & France have joined Moscow demanding Azerbaijani troops return to their starting positions.

Armenian is warning Baku could begin a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against the breakaway region, which has declared martial law

BREAKING: Russia is accusing Azerbaijani troops of entering the area protected by its 'peacekeeping' mission in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Comes hours after Armenia accused Baku of trying to "ignite a war" and Yerevan called on Putin for support.
English version of statement here
Today I drove down from Yerevan to the city of Goris, on the border with Azerbaijan where I’m staying.

The guy who took me was serving in Nagorno-Karabakh just six months ago.

He carries his military service card everywhere. “If they ask me to go back, I’ll go back,” he said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has held talks with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan after reports Azerbaijani forces crossed the contact line in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Russian peacekeepers are said to have done nothing to stop what Yerevan says is a major escalation.
Azerbaijan's armed forces are clearly calculating that Moscow is distracted by its disastrous invasion of Ukraine, and weaker than first thought.

I wrote about Baku's gamble and the rapidly escalating conflict from Yerevan today.
