1/ The Siberian village of Mama is finding that Russia's huge military expenditure is coming at the expense of basic services. The villagers live among "ruin all around" and are having to dismantle and burn old buildings to keep themselves warm due to a lack of coal. ⬇️ Image
2/ The 'People of Baikal' Telegram channel reports on the dismal situation facing rural Russians, who have effectively been abandoned by the authorities in Moscow. The village has had no heating or water supplies for four years and is being gradually deserted by its inhabitants. Image
3/ A local energy company delivered less coal than was needed in the district and "decided to save money by using wood chips". Residents say that their coal supply has fallen victim to scams by local officials. They are tearing down buildings to burn instead.

1/ The Commander of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi, has given an interesting interview to Interfax-Ukraine. The full interview is worth reading, but his comments about the fighting in Bakhmut are particularly noteworthy: Image
2/ INTERFAX-UA: What is the military expediency of such a long defence of Bakhmut, or in simple words – what does it give us?
3/ SYRSKYI: The battle for Bakhmut is important not only for the enemy but also for us. For several months in this area, we have been holding back the enemy's offensive and preventing them from expanding their frontline.

3/ "He introduced himself as a "Gosuslugi" [Federal State Information System] employee and warned that the man had been hacked. In order to save his data, the "employee" politely asked him to dictate the numbers from the text message he had sent to Valeri."
