1/ The floor of an underground passageway in Belgorod is being dismantled in another fit of Russian anti-Ukrainian paranoia. The passageway, which is under construction, was to have a floor of yellow and blue tiles (perhaps reflecting the colours of the city's flag). ⬇️ Image
2/ However, this prompted complaints on social media due to the similarities to the yellow-and-blue Ukrainian flag. This "dangerous combination", as the Baza Telegram channel puts it, is now being removed hastily. Image
3/ It's yet another instance of the colours yellow and blue becoming a lightning rod for Russian nationalist paranoia and anti-Ukrainian sentiment. Many more examples in the thread below:

1/ Russian sources say that General Surovikin's well-publicised reappearance in Moscow indicates that close allies of Vladimir Putin still regard him as a potentially useful counterweight to an increasingly powerful Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu. ⬇️
2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports that sources say that Surovikin's reemergence was due to the intervention of two high-ranking Putin allies. One is Sergei Chemezov, the CEO of the defence group Rostec Corporation, and a former KGB agent and high-ranking general. Image
3/ The other intervenor is said to be Sergey Kiriyenko, a former Russian Prime Minister and the long-serving First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Russia. It was reportedly at his initiative that the photo of Surovikin and his wife was released. Image

1/ Half of the soldiers from the mobilised "Leningrad Regiment" are said to have been killed fighting near Bakhmut. Survivors say they were given little equipment or ammunition, and have been maltreated by incompetent officers who sent them into deadly positions. ⬇️ Image
2/ The regiment (formally the 1486th Motor Rifle Regiment) is one of several that have mostly been recruited from St Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad Oblast. It comprises men mobilised from September 2022 onwards, plus volunteers.
3/ According to one of the regiment's members, a man called Dmitry, after mobilisation 1,700 men were sent for two months to a military training camp at Privetninskoye, a village in the Vyborg district of the Leningrad Oblast. Now, he says, "half are no longer alive."

1/ The Union of Soldiers' Widows of Russia claims that compensation payments for husbands killed in Ukraine are providing an "economic salvation for the Russian countryside". It praises the economic benefits of the "soldiers' coffins" provided by the state. ⬇️ Image
2/ The group is fanatically pro-Putin and pro-war. A recent post on its Telegram channel condemns the upcoming Russian presidential election as too costly and says: "Putin is more than a president. [He is] a tsar, emperor. Russia doesn't need elections. Russia needs Putin." Image
3/ The 'Moscow Against Mobilisation' Telegram channel highlights a post from the group, which discusses how dead soldiers' compensation payments (known euphemistically as 'coffins') are allegedly transforming the impoverished communities where their families live.

1/ Mobilised Russians from the Stavropol region complain that they've been "abandoned here like morons" at a railway station in western Russia, after being made to travel at their own expense and not being paid their salaries. They're now appealing for help. ⬇️
2/ In the short video, originally published on a private Telegram channel, men can be seen sitting or lying on the ground around a railway station which an unseen commentator says is the one at Kovrov in the Vladimir region. He says:
3/ "We were abandoned here like morons, and we're lying here like this. Nobody wants to take us back. They say you're travelling at your own expense. So, people are sleeping. I don't know how to deal with this and what to do about it.

1/ Female relatives of mobilised Russian soldiers from Buryatia in Siberia have appealed to Vladimir Putin for help after their requests to find out what has happened to their men were met with 'complete indifference' from the Russian military.
2/ The men are from the 37th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, based in Kyakhta, Buryatia and serving under the Northern Military District. After they came under Ukrainian artillery fire on 5 June 2023, contact was lost with them. They are currently listed as missing. Image
3/ According to the relatives, they "sent appeals [for information] to military unit 69647 [the 37th Brigade]. In response, we received complete indifference from the command of this unit." They list the names of the missing men in the video.

1/ "I fucked him up so bad that the bastard fainted," says Major General Ivan Popov of the conversation he had with the head of Russia's armed forces, General Valery Gerasimov, that led to Popov's dismissal as the commander of the 58th Combined Arms Army. ⬇️
2/ An audio recording has been published of part of a conversation between Popov and his former subordinates, in which he talks about his dismissal in July 2023 after he complained about high casualties and the lack of artillery support.
3/ According to the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel, the 58th CAA is suffering from multiplying personnel losses as well as "instances of problems being glossed over when reporting to the leadership." It describes the contact of Popov's recorded remarks:
