Daughter of 🇷🇺 Defense Min. Shoigu vs. One of his soldiers.
Ksenia Shoigu spent yesterday in a pool in Dubai 🇦🇪, at nearly the same time (there’s a drone video if you’ve not seen it) one of his unequipped soldiers, shaking, froze to death in a foxhole in Ukraine 🇺🇦.
What it looks like when your 🇷🇺 Defense Minister decides that the money allocated for your winter clothing is better spent on his daughter’s Dubai vacation.
… And so you are condemned to meet death cold and alone.

❗️Russia has blocked all access to Telegram across the Russian Federation 🇷🇺.
Putin fears the truth as much as he fears his own people. He is a coward who knows the tides are turning against his regime.
The 🇷🇺 Govt has “restricted access to Telegram at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation.” & “Blocking access to Telegram is currently excluded in 🇷🇺.”
“Restricted” vs “blocked”: Odd thing to do around midnight, Saturday, on Halloween weekend…
That was amazingly fast: Telegram’s now not listed as blocked. Within the past hour it was “limited” and “blocked.”
⚡️ ⚡️ 🇷🇺RUSSIA’S ALLIES: During the middle of the night Saturday, China🇨🇳 told citizens to leave🇺🇦. Kazakhstan is closing🇺🇦 embassy.
Kyrgyzstan🇰🇬, Uzbekistan🇺🇿, Turkmenistan🇹🇲, and Serbia🇷🇸 already have told citizens to go.
Tajikistan🇹🇯 and Belarussian🇧🇾 websites don’t work.
Someone sent me Tajikistan’s 🇹🇯 announcement saying that citizens should avoid Ukraine🇺🇦.
The most important are the Chinese🇨🇳 and Kazakhstan🇰🇿 announcements. They’re the most important to Russia 🇷🇺. The rest could be normal internal consular affairs recommendations for the war.
Why are all the foreign embassies leaving Kyiv? My bet is it’s because they know (as the US’ last announcement alluded) that 🇷🇺 will continue to strike infrastructure via missiles (so as to knock out energy, internet, and heating).
Kadyrov today announced that his “time had come” and that he would take a “indefinite and long" break.
Putin, who installed Kadyrov to subdue Chechnya, would’ve been the one to make this decision.
THREAD: 1/2
Kadyrov’s troops in Ukraine 🇺🇦 are known for committing mass rape, torture, and filming Tik Tok videos of doing little to actually help Russia 🇷🇺.
Kadyrov, see the quotes attached, is pathologically depraved. I hope Putin finds a window for him.

Here’s his full retirement speech (in Russian). He does say “it’s getter to quit before getting thrown out,” which likely means he was told to get lost.
He’ll probably stay in his tacky palace… until he “takes his own life,” “suffers a horrible accident,” or other “tragedy.”
