1/4. The effects of Putin being charged over #WarCrimes by the International Criminal Court #ICC

There is one detail people are passing over in this report, and that is the charges laid against Maria Lvova-Belova for similar charges involving the cnn.com/2023/03/17/eur…twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2/4. To understand the impacts of these charges, my view is that #Putin will at best be irritated by this event as a demonstration of the West’s hypocrisy and desire for regime change. The adverse affect for the civilised world, is that this event will likely lead to a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/4. Maria Lvova-Belova’s charges will have the biggest impact.

That is because all of these charges are symbolic in reality. The fact that charges and accountability has been extended to a relatively low level politician and bureaucrat is critically important.

This is because… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
4/4. The UN and the UNSC are for good or for worse, toothless and the institutions have been designed to fail in some respects.

Remember before jumping for joy about this event, is that one of the biggest resistors of the ICC on it’s formation was the USA, and without a united… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Just to clarify - the USA opposed the formation of the ICC - the reason relied upon is:

“Incompatibility with the U.S. Constitution
United States participation in the ICC treaty regime would also be unconstitutional because it would allow the trial of U.S. citizens for crimes… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The authorities will increase propaganda spending to a new record

In the 2026 budget draft, the government has laid down an increase in funding for state TV channels, media, and pro-government internet projects to a new historical record — 146.3 billion rubles.

This is, for example, more than the entire budget of the Vladimir region (122 billion rubles) or the Kirov region (116 billion rubles), according to the explanatory note to the budget law.

In particular, the ANO "TV-News" (the managing structure of Russia Today, Margarita Simonyan) will receive 32.08 billion rubles, VGTRK (channels "Russia-1" and "Russia-24") — 24.69 billion rubles, and "Channel One" will retain a targeted subsidy of 6 billion rubles.

On Russian Telegram:

Russia has been waging a senseless war for 3.5 years, which a real military power could have won in less than a week. The US president called Russia a "paper tiger."

Ukraine is capable of regaining all its territories, Trump said, adding that the US will continue to supply weapons to Kyiv. Ukraine has a "great spirit," while Russians are standing in lines for gasoline, the US president wrote.

A shift in attitude from calling the indicted war criminal his “good friend”, to calling him a wet fart.

Things are going to get heated in the paper tiger HQ.

Roundup of Aeroflop’s chaotic day:

Aeroflot was officially declared a disaster — after a massive hacker attack, the airline's digital infrastructure completely failed.

The website, booking system, ticket offices, and fuel calculation systems are not working. Planes cannot take off, employees have lost access to work computers and email. There are huge queues at airports, people are stuck without luggage and air conditioning.

Aeroflot lost from 259 million to 500 million rubles in the past day due to a hacker attack on its IT infrastructure, reports RBC.

1/7
A criminal case has been opened against the country Putin illegally invaded. The disaster was even acknowledged in the Kremlin, as if they had a choice to deny it as usual?

2/7 Image
This is what the huge list of canceled Aeroflot flights looks like against the backdrop of news about a cyberattack and the destruction of 7,000 servers by a hacker group.

About 42 flights have been canceled in total, with people getting refunds or having their flights rescheduled.

On russian telegram: It’s a game of clans, mafia style. With a Tesla from Elon Musk to boot.

"Roman Starovoit was 100% a man of the Rotenbergs. They fought for his position and freedom. And Andrei Nikitin, who replaced Starovoit as Minister of Transport, is 100% a man of the Kovalchuks. They defeated the Rotenbergs in the fight for the Ministry of Transport and, at the same time, Starovoit's freedom."

1/2Image
Its reported that employees of the central office of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation are working at the site of Roman Starovoit's so-called “suicide”.

Starovoit's Tesla, compliments of Elon Musk - is being examined by forensic experts (FSB Crime Covering Department), from the Main Directorate of the Criminal Investigation Department. All local security officials have been sent "to smoke, and occupy themselves."

On russian Telegram (which is monitored by the FSB): A russian publishes a rant.

He will be disappeared.

“What angers me most is precisely this kind of brazen and pseudo-humanistic lie”

1/6 Image
If Russia cared about people and not territories, it would have simply resettled those who wanted to onto its lands, which are more than 90% empty, even before the war. It would not have mobilized the residents of the “new regions”, grinding them up in meaty assaults.

2/6
If Russia doesn't need the territories, then why is it clinging to them with its teeth and not ready to give them up in exchange for peace and the restoration of the rights of the Russian-speaking population , as the propaganda screams?

On russian Telegram: Putin fudges the housing crises, with a Trump styled alternative reality

Mutko muddies muddies muddies

Vitaly "let me speak from my heart" Mutko met with Putin today to discuss housing issues in Russia. And there (spoiler) everything is extremely bad.

1/1
Mortgages have already been recognized as a "dead" way to buy housing even in the State Duma. In 2024, mortgages fell by half. And the debt increased by 63%, which became a historical record. Only the elite of the real estate market, where prices don’t matter - is afloat.

2/2
Putin believes that Russia has everything to fix the issues with housing provision. He claims building materials are available, science is developing, and the process is well organized. The president clearly does not understand what is happening in the real estate market.
