1/ The people aboard Yevgeny Prigozhin's aircraft were reportedly dismembered – and in one case decapitated – by an explosion on board before it crashed. This suggests that they were already dead before they hit the ground and disproves Vladimir Putin's claims about the crash. ⬇️ Image
2/ Two months after the 23 August 2023 crash of Prigozhin's Embraer Legacy 600 jet north-west of Moscow, Putin claimed that grenade fragments had been found in the victim's bodies and hinted at the passengers' possible use of drugs or alcohol.
3/ The scenario he painted was clearly intended to suggest that someone on board the aircraft set off a grenade in a drunken or drugged moment. It is well-established that the aircraft broke up in flight, likely as the result of an explosion on board.
4/ Early suggestions that the aircraft was shot down have received little support, but there have been many suggestions that an explosive device was brought on board and detonated near the rear of the aircraft, severing the tail, which was found 3 km away from the fuselage.
5/ According to the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel, investigators examining the aircraft wreckage and the victims' remains have found that "the explosion on board was very strong, much more powerful than the explosion of a grenade."
6/ "Recently, experts found out that it was from this that the limbs of the victims and even the head of one of the passengers were amputated, and not from hitting the ground."
7/ Investigators had reportedly previously found very clear signs of an explosion on board, with the skin of the aircraft opened from the inside, but had not found shrapnel fragments in the victims' bodies and only recorded mechanical injuries.
8/ It's likely that everyone in the 13-seat passenger cabin was already dead before the aircraft hit the ground. The Russian authorities have not publicly given a definitive cause of the apparent explosion, and it's unlikely that they will dare to contradict Putin's version. /end

1/ Russia's police are reportedly rounding up migrant taxi drivers to send them to the war in Ukraine. However, this puts migrants at risk of long jail sentences in their home countries under legislation banning fighting in foreign wars. ⬇️ Image
2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports that the Moscow traffic police are detaining migrant taxi drivers who attempt to pay a "spot fine" (i.e. a bribe) when they are stopped for minor violations. It cites a number of examples:
3/🔺 28-year-old Yandex Taxi driver Omurbek Abdykasyt was stopped and detained after trying to give a policeman 2,500 rubles; on the same day, another YT driver, Sabir Bazarov from Uzbekistan, was detained for placing 12,000 rubles next to an inspector.

1/ A recent Ukrainian attack in the Kherson region village of Yuvileine killed 4 police staff and injured another 17. The details of the casualties highlight both collaborationist activities and how officials from Russia have been recruited to manage the occupied regions. ⬇️ Image
2/ The attack, which was likely carried out using HIMARS, struck a police building on the left bank of the Dnipro that was reportedly being used for a high-level meeting. It housed the so-called "Novokakhovsky Department of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation". Image
3/ The ASTRA Telegram channel has named several of the dead and wounded. It reports that most were police officials from Russia, who were "recruited to work in the occupied territories of Ukraine with promises of double salaries and other privileges."

1/ The Kremlin has reportedly told regional governors to "extinguish with money" the protests of wives of mobilised soldiers ahead of next March's elections. It is said to believe that they are "often waiting not for their husbands from the war, but for their salary cards". ⬇️ Image
2/ Verstka reports that nervousness in the Russian government about complaints from soldiers' wives has led to the presidential administration making recommendations to the country's regional governments. Relatives' protests have grown in recent months.
3/ According to sources, the administration has recommended that payments be made "fully, quickly and without red tape" and that existing public activists be involved in the "round dance around the mobilised".
