1/ The pro-Kremlin Telegram channel Mash has posted more biographical information on Mahir Yusubov, the man who the Russian authorities say drove the truck that exploded and partly destroyed the Crimea/Kerch Bridge. Translation follows: ⬇️
2/ Relatives of Mahir Yusubov, the alleged driver of the truck that exploded on the Crimean bridge, live in Kazan.

The family moved here back in Soviet times.
3/ His cousin said that the 52-year-old man was in the trucking business: he carried fruit, groceries and other things and worked at the Kolkhozniy market. He had 'Valdai' trucks, 'Gazelles', and was now driving an 'American'.
4/ Mahir moved to Krasnodar two years ago: his three children (a daughter and two boys) and wife wanted to live in a warmer climate.
5/ In the south, the family took out a mortgage on the house; they wanted to sell the Kazan property and asked their relatives to make repairs to make it more profitable.

Today a cousin received a video of Mahir's truck being blown up.
6/ His cousin thinks that Yusubov might have been set up - he has allegedly never been a bad friend of anyone and kept in touch with his cousin and called him. He told me the other day that he was going to Crimea.
7/ The relative was surprised, because he usually went the other way - Kamyshin, Volgograd. Now Mahir cannot be reached. /end

1/ Russian warbloggers are outraged at the Russian government's view that blocking Telegram is no big deal for frontline troops. They say it's a catastrophe heaped on the disaster of losing Starlink and that anyone who says Telegram isn't needed is talking "complete bullshit". ⬇️ Image
2/ Dmitri Peskov, Vladimir Putin's spokesman, says: "I don't think it's possible to imagine frontline communications being provided via Telegram or some other messenger. It's difficult and impossible to imagine such a thing."
3/ However, it is very much a thing, as warbloggers have been pointing out furiously. 'Callsign Bruce' provides an example of how it is used to avoid friendly fire incidents:

"I'll give you a real-life example from one of the directions."

1/ Life after Starlink is proving to be difficult and frustrating for the Russian army. Russian warbloggers appear to be going through the stages of grief, expressing anger and alarm at the crisis and concern that Ukraine will exploit it. One anticipates "24/7 fucking". ⬇️ Image
2/ Further instances of price-gouging are being reported, with the cost of US-made Ubiquiti WiFi bridges – illegally imported into Russia – doubling overnight. 'Strong Word' complains: Image
3/ "Elon is certainly a real jerk. But we have some real assholes in the rear who decided to ride the wave and make money off their own soldiers. Wi-Fi bridges instantly doubled in price. It's maddening, some are spilling blood, and others are making a living off of it."

1/ What can Russian soldiers do with thousands of useless Starlink terminals? One Russian warblogger has some humorous suggestions. ⬇️
2/ 'BKGB Casuar' writes:

"Here are 10 ways to use a broken terminal in the Special Military Operation zone:
3/ "1. Butt Kick.

The ground in the trench is cold and damp, and Elon Musk's plastic is warm and high-tech. Use it as an elite seat. Now you're not just a soldier in the mud, but a cyberpunk on a throne, whose butt is protected from moisture by American technology. Image

1/ Russian political officers are reportedly using the Epstein files to justify the 'Special Military Operation' (SVO) as a "war against global evil". However, as a frontline Russian warblogger points out, Russia and its soldiers are hardly innocent of crimes against children. ⬇️ Image
2/ 'Vault No. 8', a serving soldier in the Russian army, writes:

"Over dinner, we were shown a report on the Epstein files: Satanism, cannibalism, paedophilia, child trafficking to EU countries in Ukraine, etc. The conclusion: "The SVO is the fight against global evil."
3/ "At the same time, during the SVO:

— I listened to the stories of several female specialists in men's health. One was raped by her grandfather, then later by her first husband. The second had a stepfather who was violent and raped her mother.

1/ As many as 4% of the able-bodied men in one village in the Russian Far East may have died in Ukraine. The figure illustrates how the human cost of the war is being borne disproportionately by impoverished communities deep in the Russian interior. Image
Image
2/ The village of Tigil is the principal settlement of a lightly populated region the size of West Virginia or Latvia. About 1,600 people live in the village. Ethnic Russians only make up about 36% of the population, with various indigenous groups making up the rest.
3/ The village museum has installed a display with photographs of local residents who died in the war. It currently shows 18 portraits of confirmed victims, though there may well be more unlisted given the very large numbers of soldiers declared to be missing in action.

1/ The Russian authorities have published details of three people accused of Friday's shooting of Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseyev. Two men have been arrested, one in the UAE, while a woman is said to have escaped to Ukraine, which is blamed for the attack. ⬇️
2/ The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (roughly Russia's equivalent of the FBI) has issued a statement, which includes the following:
3/ "Investigators conducted a thorough inspection at the scene, during which they discovered the murder weapon – a Makarov pistol with an attached silencer and three rounds of ammunition. Image
