On this day 1994 Ukraine, the US, the UK and Russia signed the Budapester Memorandum. Ukraine gave up her massive nuclear arsenal, and later her strategic bombers, in exchange for security guarantees. Today Russia launched about 100 missiles at Ukraine, using these very bombers.
Ukraine has transferred to Russia 11 strategic bombers (Tu-160 and Tu-95) and hundreds of cruise missiles. Russia has integrated them into 37th Strategic Air Force Army, based in Engels.

Reportedly, explosions at 2 Russian strategic bombers airbases: Engels and Ryazan. In Engels, 2 strategic bombers Tu-95 damaged, in Ryazan a fuel truck destroyed, 3 killed. RU TG channels say Engels was a drone attack. Ukraine said before, they developed a 1000 km distance drone.
Another video of the strike. It appears that a sound of a jet engine (missile?) can be heard. Still too many speculations.
Two more videos. Note the time between the flash and the sound of the explosion. Calculating the distance based on the time gap between both, the distance from the camera is about 5 kilometer. The explosion should be massive.

Bezüglich der Staatsangehörigkeitsrechtsdebatte. Ein kleiner Thread einer eingebürgerten Person:
1) Es ist schon jetzt möglich, schon nach 6 Jahren (im Falle besonderer Integration, vor allem durch die Sprachkenntnisse von über dem B1 Niveau nachgewiesen) einen Antrag zu stellen;
2) Die Ehepartner*innen dürfen es schon nach 3 Jahren machen;
3) Der richtige Hacken ist der Bearbeitungsfrist. In einigen Berliner Bezirken dauert es bis zu 2 Jahren, bis eine Person ihre Einbürgerungszusicherung (was keine Einbürgerung ist!) bekommt; 2/x
4) Da es keinen rechtlichen Anspruch auf die konkreten Bearbeitungsfristen gibt, kann man hier nichts machen. Keine Dienstbeschwerde hilft, kein Rechtsweg über einen Anwalt. Effektiv bedeutet es eine Verzögerung der Einbürgerung ums doppelte (3 Jahre Ehepaar + 2 Jahre Bearb.) 3/x

Not tired yet of Russian state-funded Nazi movies? This week, a children movie "The (Russian) Kingdom vs. the Bandits" starts in RU. The enemies: a Black person, an antisemite-cartoon-looking lady, a Turk, and a gayish-looking Frenchman. The goodies: all the blond(e)s Russians.
A crazy detail: even the evil bird of the Bandits has its "jewish" nose and is clearly a migrant in Russia with its colourful feathers. A clear sign for the children, that the bird is the enemy.
The official poster says, one can pay the ticket with a subsidised "Pushkin card". It is understandable, as Pushkin is one of the Russian chauvinism's faces. He authored a fairy tail about noble and good brothers who had fun as they "had a ride around and decapitated a Tatar".

The Russian “liberal” university HSE funded drones for the RU army and gave them to the army@to kill Ukrainians. On their page the HSE says, they cooperate with Western universities. At least in cases @unipotsdam and my alma mater @FU_Berlin the HSE lies: cooperation was stopped.
The cooperation of the Western universities with the Russian „academia“ was a huge mistake from the very beginning. RU universities are not independent from the Kremlin. Compare to the open letter supporting the RU invasion, signed by most rectors of RU universities incl. the HSE
As my previous thread was repeatedly shared quoting only in the first part, where I mentioned the statement of the HSE, but ignoring the further tweets where I demonstrate that the HSE lies, I delete the previous thread and re-tweet it in edited more clear form. I apologize to…

I am not an air defense expert, but I am am expert in Russian propaganda tactics and in the history of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The “Ukrainian air defense missile” version reminds me totally the MH17 propaganda fog, as Russia flooded us with contradicting ridiculous versions /1
AFAIK, air defense missiles have a self-destruction mechanism to prevent course offsets and hitting ground targets. Ukrainian S300 never hit ground targets before. Russian and Belarusian S300 have a Surface-to-Surface modification and were massively used vs ground targets /2
If Russia wanted to test the NATO response, they would do exactly this. Hitting something with no military value, with a missile which CAN be attributed to UKR. The aim: to distort our processes, so we would hesitate, be unsure. To activate the voices against arming Ukraine /3

The narrative „it was a Ukrainian anti-air missile“ is from the same Russian propaganda box like „it was a UKR interceptor“ after the MH17 kill. In 9 mths of the war, we had no case a UKR air defense missile losing its course and hitting ground targets. But a lot of RU cases.
Expect that the Russians will FLOOD the info space with all possible „versions“: Ukrainian air defense, NATO conspiracy, explosion of a military transport, etc., all „proved“ with „leaked documents“, „interviews“, „photos“. They did exactly this with MH17. Aim: disrupt discussion
Most probably it was not an accident. The Russians are testing our response. They are in a win-in game: if they hit the power line, they strangle Ukraine. If not they say it was not they / it was an accident and see, how fast we react and where are the weak spots in our reaction.
