1/ Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and his family have been given nearly 150 medals and awards since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine – one for him every 40 days – including an Order of Merit for Dentistry and a medal for excellence as an ambulance worker. ⬇️ Image
2/ An investigation by the independent Russian news website Verstka has revealed the scale of the Kadyrovs' medal acquisition, which represents a combination of self-bestowed awards and those from the Russian state and other institutions.
3/ 82 of the awards are internal Chechen ones, such as awards recognising the centenary of the Chechen Republic and medals such as "For Services to the Chechen Republic" and the title of "Hero of the Chechen Republic".
4/ 30 more medals have been awarded principally by Russian law enforcement organisations, such as the Russian National Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Federal Penitentiary Service.
5/ State-controlled agencies and organisations also have given awards, such as the Order of Merit for Dentistry from the Russian Dental Association, and medals for services to improving the safety of nuclear power plants from Rosatom. (There are no nuclear plants in Chechnya).
6/ The administrations of the Donetsk and Luhansk 'People's Republics' in occupied Ukraine have given 11 awards to the Kadyrovs, along with one from South Ossetia and another from the government of Libya (the "Honorary Guest of Libya" medal).
7/ Other medals presented to Ramzan Kadyrov include awards for "high achievements in the field of architecture", being an "honorary worker of the agro-industrial complex" and being an "excellent ambulance worker."
8/ Kadyrov has received the bulk of the medals, 31 in total. His 17-year-old son and heir Adam has received the second largest number within the clan, with 16. Kadyrov's daughter Aishat has received 10, including the "People's Artist of the Chechen Republic" award. /end

1/ Thousands of illegal workhouses operate in Russia, advertising openly on poles, streetlights and in underground passages. They accommodate – and exploit – many of the estimated 1.9 million people in Russia who are living as slaves. ⬇️ Image

Image
2/ According to the Global Slavery Index, Russia has the eighth-highest slavery rate in the world, at 13 slaves per 1,000 people. Only North Korea has a larger number of people in slavery.
3/ A Russian Maoist group has launched a protest campaign against workhouses in Chelyabinsk. As in many other Russian cities, the workhouses are advertised everywhere and falsely claim to be "help centres" or "rehabilitation programmes".

1/ The Russia-Georgia war in 2008 revealed many problems with the Russian army, which had not been addressed by the time that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. A series of commentaries on the 'Vault No. 8' Telegram channel highlights some of the lessons not learned. ⬇️ Image
2/ "The same problem [arose] in control both in 2008 and in 2022: infantry and armoured vehicles cannot communicate with each other because they have different radio stations, and armoured vehicles do not have built-in telephones for communicating with the crew from outside.
3/ "Another problem that remained unchanged between 2008 and 2022 was the low accuracy of the 2A42 cannon on the BMP-2, the crews' lack of training in the use of anti-tank guided missiles, and the fact that most BMPs were not equipped with them.

1/ More details have emerged of a recently publicised database of Ukrainian children for adoption by Russian families. While it has been condemned in the context of Russian kidnapping of Ukrainian children, the background story is more complex. ⬇️
2/ The database is hosted by the Ministry of Education and Science of the 'Luhansk People's Republic', but it is not a new product. The Ministry of Labour and Social Policy previously dealt with guardianship issues but transferred this responsibility in the summer of 2024. Image
3/ A previous version of the database already existed but was redeveloped by the LPR's Ministry of Education and Science to meet Russian federal standards in 2025. Its launch was recently announced on Telegram, prompting this week's news stories about it. Image

1/ Badly injured Russian soldiers who have lost arms and legs and have severe shrapnel injuries are being beaten by officers and forced into carrying out assaults, according to a soldier's account. The constant suffering and cruelty is driving men to desertion and suicide. ⬇️
2/ A soldier from the Battalion of the 55th Separate Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade (military unit 55115) says in a video that he was denied medical leave after being wounded by fragments and was sent on a combat mission instead with severe inflammation and a rotting leg.
3/ The man says he was not allowed to return to Russia for medical treatment. Instead, soldiers are now all being treated in field hospitals in the occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions. (Other accounts suggest this is being done to reduce the high number of desertions.)

1/ The Trump Administration is reportedly finalising a peace proposal that would allow Russia to take over the entirety of the Donetsk region and force Ukraine to surrender the unoccupied portion. All territory currently occupied by Russia would remain under Russian control. ⬇️ Image
2/ According to Bloomberg, the deal would involve Russia taking over the entire Donbas and freezing the lines of contact elsewhere. The reported aim is to freeze the war and pave the way for a ceasefire and technical talks on a definitive peace settlement.
3/ It's not clear whether Russia would have to return any territory or hand over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The agreement would reportedly present Ukraine and Europe with a take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum.

1/ Russian field medics have been given only six days of training before immediately being sent to their deaths as stormtroopers, due to commanders ignoring the value of their specialty, according to a scathing commentary from a Russian army medical team. ⬇️ Image
2/ The author of the '5 mg. KGV' Telegram channel describes his experience in providing medical training alongside another military medical specialist, a man with the callsign 'Shlyakhtich':

"He organized the training processes for self-help as best he could.
3/ "He butted heads with the operational and combat training leadership about increasing the time allocated for medicine, and in general he was the first to justify applications for first aid kits, their echeloning, and equipment.
