1/ The frozen bodies of Russian soldiers are piled up at food supply points, where they may lie unburied or in body bags for weeks before being collected, according to a Russian warblogger.

The author of the 'How I went to war. Platon Mamatov' Telegram channel writes: Image

2/ "The bodies of the dead are taken to the supply point. There they lie in wait for the day when they can be sent to the rear. Sometimes a day, sometimes weeks

They're in no hurry.

It's winter."

1/ The third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a time for mourning, Russian nationalists say – not because of the destruction and huge loss of life, but because the war has failed to "heal and awaken Russia" from its "thirty-year bad dream" since the USSR fell. ⬇️ Image
2/ The Russian pro-war 'Soldier's Truth' Telegram channel writes that the war's anniversary allows a reappraisal of the 33-year-old phenomenon of the post-Soviet 'New Russia'. The author writes:
3/ "The Special Military Operation has convincingly shown that "New Russia" turned out to be a weak likeness, a pale shadow of historical Russia – either the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union.

1/ An 'anti-crisis' video of a Russian officer condemning wounded soldiers for complaining has prompted criticism from Russian warbloggers for ignoring realities on the ground, such as extortion of compensation payments and an "epidemic" of suicides. ⬇️
2/ The video was published by the Izvestia correspondent and military journalist Alexander Sladkov, who is generally regarded as an apologist for the Putin regime. It features an unidentified battalion commander (said to be from the 5th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade).
3/ Sladkov calls it, somewhat optimistically, "a conversation between a samurai and samurais, a warrior with warriors, a hero with other Russian heroes."

In the video, the officer says:

"Comrades, I've had enough, there's a lot of negativity pouring out."

1/ Russian warbloggers are protesting about numerous videos of crippled Russian soldiers on crutches being sent into assaults, or being used as 'bullet sponges' to identify where the Ukrainians are firing from. ⬇️
2/ Anastasia Kashevarova, who has written about the issue before, says that she is seeing videos from all fronts showing badly injured soldiers on the battlefield. She writes:

"Why is this happening? There are two ways to go to war with a crutch or an Ilizarov apparatus:
3/ "Way 1. Discharged from the hospital, given 30 days of rehabilitation leave. If from Storm (that is, a convict), then he is immediately taken to the unit, and from there back to the front.

1/ There's no need to resort to conspiracy theories about Trump being "compromised" to explain his support for Vladimir Putin. Nobody claims JD Vance supports Trump because he is "compromised". The truth is likely much simpler: Trump shares Putin's ideology. Image
2/ As the Washington Post article linked below points out, Putin promoted many aspects of MAGA ideology (anti-LGBT, anti-woke, anti-migrant, anti-abortion, anti-feminism, Christian nationalism) before they became mainstream in the Republican Party. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/02/…
3/ There's a degree of political calculation here in that Putin did a lot to convince the Euro-American far right that he was one of them, but it seems to have worked very well for him.

1/ Russia is reported to have offered lucrative oil and gas concessions as a sweetener to get the Trump negotiating team to agree a favourable deal over Ukraine in Riyadh. ⬇️ Image
2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports a source's comments on the negotiations:

"Kirill Dmitriev (Russian Direct Investment Fund) was clearly appointed to the negotiating delegation from Russia as a person who at least knows a little about business."
3/ "That is exactly what the Russian leadership decided, that it was just necessary to bargain well with the Trump team and everything would be fine.

1/ Donald Trump's friendliness to Russia has earned praise from Russian propagandists and a wave of Trumpmania from online sellers, including MAGA hats and Trump toilet brushes. One commentator suggests he'll be declared the Messiah and will build the Third Temple in space. ⬇️ Image
2/ The notorious propagandist Vladimir Solovyov has broadcast a video of J.D. Vance's speech to the Munich Security Conference and has spoken approvingly of Vance's statement that negotiations between America and Russia are needed.
3/ "What did Vance say that Russian representatives haven’t said for a long time, and that doesn’t resound in our studio every time?," Solovyov asked on his show.

Other state-controlled TV channels have taken to describing Trump and Putin as "well-mannered and polite people".
