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

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 🧵 Image
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. Image
English version of statement here Image
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. Image

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. Image
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.

The Russian government has just sent out a mass email informing citizens it will block Instagram by 0:00am on Monday.

It accuses the site of supporting “genocide” & says it is breaking the Geneva Conventions designed as a response to the Nazis. Totally disconnected from reality
“Because the management of the social network Instagram, contrary to international law, for the first time in history and only with regard to Russians allowed calls to violence, the Prosecutor General's Office decided to ban this social network in Russia”
“Calls to violence against people on the basis of their nationality are part of the crime described as "genocide," which is prohibited by the 1948 UN Conventions… drawn up following consideration of all the evidence of Nazi criminals gathered at the Nuremberg Tribunal”

Have received notifications telling me all my foreign cards have stopped working on Russian services, mainly Yandex.
Foreign friends telling me their cards started being declined in person at checkouts last night.

Others saying some Russian banks now cut off from ApplePay.

According to Kommersant, Lavrov asked Liz Truss if the UK accepts Voronezh & Rostov as part of Russia.

“We will never recognise Russian sovereignty over these regions,” she apparently replied.

The British ambassador is said to have gently corrected her
kommersant.ru/doc/5207486?fr…
Worth caveating that Kommersant, which is one of Russia's best and most reputable broadsheets, cites anonymous foreign ministry sources here. The British embassy has apparently not commented.
For anyone unfamiliar with the geography of southern Russia, this would be a little bit like denying British sovereignty over Norwich, if Norwich had better weather and more of an association with criminal gangs (in the case of Rostov).
