Kadyrov and Senator from Dagestan Suleiman Kerimov. The conflict between the divorcing Bakalchuk spouses went beyond the family and was divided into groups related to the North Caucasus: the so-called "Dagestani" group, sponsored by Kerimov, and the "Chechen" group,

behind which stands Kadyrov. Around midday on September 18, Wildberries co-founder Vladislav Bakalchuk, accompanied by security guards and mixed martial artists, attempted to enter the company's Moscow office in the Romanov Dvor business center, but was stopped by security.

The center itself is located 500 meters from the Kremlin. According to eyewitnesses cited by the Beware, Moscow channel, a group of men in civilian clothes who drove up to the building looked like ordinary visitors waiting for someone at the reception. At some point, they

suddenly ran and began to break down the doors of the central entrance, after which shooting began, the beginning of which was captured on video. Everything lasted about three to four minutes. The marketplace employees barricaded themselves and hid under the tables at that

competitors, you do not need to be a special forces soldier. The main thing in this attack is that this is not just a raid on someone's business, here the interests of members of power of two neighboring and very explosive republics of the North Caucasus collide. "Kerimov's

political weight is quite comparable to Kadyrov's. But the main thing in Putin's eyes is different: Kerimov is doing his own thing, and Kadyrov is trying to climb into someone else's clearing. Kadyrov's Polyana, in the Kremlin's view, is Chechnya, all Chechens in Russia and

Ukrainska Pravda published a large article about the situation in the Pokrovsk direction. It began its article with the words - "With respect and gratitude to each serviceman, especially the infantryman, who held the defense in the Pokrovsk direction. With the desire to

Jaeger Brigade. Then the Russians, unfortunately, successfully took advantage of one of the thinnest spots in the defense in general and especially the Ukrainian army - the rotation of units. As one drone pilot who worked in that area in March told UP, the 68th did not even

Drone debris remains Ukraine's most dangerous weapon, according to Russian reports. A fire in Toropets was started by debris from a downed drone, the governor of the Tver region said, and he ordered the evacuation of the city's residents. The fact that the Main Missile and 1/7
Artillery Directorate's arsenal was detonated, causing tremors equal to a 3-point earthquake, is not reported by Russian news. What's funny is that during the interview with the governor, where he talks about the fire from drone debris, secondary detonations of ammunition can 2/7
be heard in the background. The Tver region is located between Moscow and St. Petersburg. The arsenal in Toropets is one of 13 warehouses built by the Russian Defense Ministry in 2015 as part of a program to improve ammunition storage; 3.6 billion rubles were spent on it. 3/7
