#Russian state TV: the Moskva was a pre-planned target, Zelensky showed the stamp the day before. "We're not fighting the Ukrainian Generals. We're fighting against the Joint Staff of NATO", a common view. Cute that he believes Russia and NATO are "equals"
#Germany: The world's largest superyacht, Dilbar, belonging to Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, has been impounded in Hamburg after it was determined it was legally owned by his sister, who is also on the sanctions list. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
There has been a lot of this. It's not wishful thinking, exactly; more disbelief. Our leaders dealt with Putin and thought he was someone they could do business with, and our people know how well-behaved our modern armies are. It just did not compute.

Moscow has banned #Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, and ten other senior politicians from #Russia because of London's "Russophobic policy" and "unprecedented hostile actions" over #Ukraine. mid.ru/ru/foreign_pol…
This kind of thing has been cropping up increasingly on state television, too, that #Russia should wage a "proper" war on #Ukraine

#Spain: in Alicante, three #Russian tourists beat up a bartender who greeted them by saying, "Slava Ukraïna".
Survivors of the Moskva on parade in #Russian-occupied Crimea.
#Lithuania's Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anušauskas claimed that about 400 had been killed on board. There look to be about 100 survivors here and the whole crew was 500.

#Russia's feeble position in #Syria set to weaken even further.

Interesting straw in the wind from one of #Putin's chief propagandists, Vladimir Solovyov. Notable that the parallel he warns against for #Ukraine is #Afghanistan, recommends [without saying it this way] that #Russia cut its losses.
