1/ Russian warbloggers are sceptical about Trump's abandonment of Ukraine. Some look forward to "sweeping away Europe" and seeing Russian and American soldiers meeting again on the Elbe. Others worry that it's a ruse and warn about being smashed by the "steel dick of reality". ⬇️
2/ 'Evil Orcs' praises Putin as "Comrade Warboss the DARKEST!"
"What kind of brains do you need to have to concoct all this into such a fucking multi-move, where in the end, one of your opponents will simply be publicly pissed on by your other opponents!? This is a masterpiece!"
3/ "Putin is a genius! He just surpassed even Comrade Stalin!
To pull this off with his hands tied and his mouth gagged, surrounded by enemies from the closest circle, with no ideology in the country... Ace! The best! Simply the best."
4/ 'Moses' looks forward to what Russia can do without the US in the picture: "The most objective thing is that without US support, Russia is capable of sweeping away Europe. Historical events await us."
5/ 'Older than Edda' anticipates Trump and Putin dividing Europe between them, Yalta-style: "Looking at how the Eurocuckolds support Ze[lensky], I won't be surprised if Russian and American soldiers hug each other again on the Elbe."
6/ "The soldiers will light up a cigarette and one will ask the other: Do you remember, brother, how we used to hit Kyiv with Tomahawks?"
Others are more sceptical about the sudden enthusiasm towards the US being exhibited by some. 'Donrf' asks:
7/ "What are these jingoistic patriots killing me with? Three years ago, they talked about Kiev for two weeks. Then they reassured themselves that it wasn't the hohols, it was NATO. And [the Ukrainians] would flee without NATO. It's been three days now. Are there any signs?
8/ "Now it's fashionable to mock Gayropa, where it's obvious there's no army or weapons. That this is an industrial region, with nuclear weapons, and a population of 500 million - silence. They have problems. Like ours in 2022. Because we adjusted the laws to address them.
9/ "Are we dead? What a friendship with Trump. ... He will abandon us as soon as the EU bends. We will also remember Grandfather Biden with affection."
'Historian Dyukov' warns of the unifying effect that Trump's behaviour may have on Europe:
10/ "Russia's existential enemy is a united Europe. As soon as Europe unites, it goes East. No other country or association of countries in the world is an existential enemy for Russia. At the moment, anyone can be an enemy, but time will pass - and the situation will change.
11/ "Unless we are talking about a united Europe. We need to memorize this like the "Our Father."
'Laskovoye Guys' warns that the "steel dick of reality" threatens those who let their guard down prematurely:
12/ "I’ve been observing lately how most people have relaxed their buttocks in anticipation of some miracle, that the war is about to end.
13/ "Memes and jokes are everywhere, Russia and America are “brothers forever”, Zelensky’s public flogging in the Oval Office, hee-hee, yes ha-ha, war is everything..., a deal, etc.
14/ "While someone is hoping that Apple Pay, McDonald’s and a bunch of fashion brands will soon return, America is extending sanctions, and the enemy is becoming very active in some places, continuing to use their fucking birds [drones], burning equipment and personnel ...
15/ "People, wake up, there is still war here for the moment, blood, shit and dirt.
Please take off your rose-colored glasses and smash them on the steel dick of reality." /end
1/ A Russian soldier serving with the 136th Separate Motorised Rifle Brigade says that his commanders have not paid salaries since July 2024, are refusing to allow the wounded to get a medical examination, are withholding injury compensation, and have marked him for execution. ⬇️
2/ The unnamed soldier has recorded a video which has been published on the 'Soldiers' Truth' Telegram channel. He lists a series of abuses by the commander of his Dagestan-based unit and says he is suing the military prosecutor's office at Buynaksk in Dagestan.
3/ According to the soldier, the prosecutors "are doing everything they can to cover up the commander of unit 63354. They are all in cahoots there and are not going against each other."

1/ Recent Russian setbacks in the Ukrainian city of Toretsk are being blamed by Russian warbloggers on a familiar problem – commanders lying about their successes and taking the city 'on credit' rather than in real life.
2/ The Russians, who have renamed Toretsk as Dzerzhinsk after the founder of the Soviet secret police, Felix Dzerzhinsky, appear to have prematurely declared victory in the city in order to curry favour with the military and political leadership.
3/ This sort of 'taking on credit' has been a repeated phenomenon throughout the Ukraine war, and has likely cost thousands of Russian lives. It has resulted in Russian troops attacking defended positions without artillery or air support.
1/ Russian warbloggers are very upset at the prospect of a ceasefire in Ukraine that leaves the objectives of the 'Special Military Operation' unfulfilled. One asks, "does the death of my boys mean nothing [but] a dog's dick and a hole after the assault?" ⬇️
2/ The prominent Russian war correspondent and propagandist Alexander Sladkov has aroused controversy by arguing that Russia is not fighting for territory but "for Russia’s status in the new global world order that is currently being formed."
3/ "The SMO is part of Moscow's global plan to return to the status ranks. We are breaking in by force, pushing the EU, taking what is rightfully ours – a fair position in the international economy and politics.
1/ A prominent Russian fixer is reportedly selling access to Donald Trump at the planned forthcoming Trump-Putin summit in Moscow for $2 million a head. It's likely to be aimed at Russian oligarchs seeking lucrative commercial opportunities from a US-Russia deal. ⬇️
2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports:
"Although the situation with Donald Trump's possible visit to Moscow is still very vague, tickets for a closed event with the US President have gone on sale. The cost is $2 million.
3/ As a VChK-OGPU source reported, one of the biggest Russian fixers, Valery Bitayev, who positions himself as a person close to the first deputy director of the FSB of the Russian Federation Sergei Korolev, officials of the Presidential Administration of the…
