So the story:🧵
1) Head of Chechnya Kadyrov announced that Russian forces took control of the village of Ryzhivka, located on the border with the Kursk region, within three days. 2) A Russian sabotage group attempted to seize the border village of Ryzhivka in the Sumy region, but something went wrong (video of elimination of the russian’s saboteurs - the link below)

As a result of an ambush organized by border guards and the territorial defense forces, the main reconnaissance group was destroyed. The rest fled across the border.

However, Kadyrov somehow failed to mention these dead Russians, whom they simply sent to meaningless death for unclear reasons.

About provocations against Moldova 🇲🇩

🔶On February 28, the so-called “congress of members of councils of all levels in the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic” was held in Transnistria, which is not controlled by Moldova. ♦️Transnistria has turned to Russia for help due to the blockade from Moldova.

The republican congress of deputies adopted a corresponding declaration yesterday. It requests "measures to protect Transnistria in light of increased pressure from Moldova, considering the permanent residence of over 220 thousand Russian citizens in the territory of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic and the unique positive experience of Russian peacekeeping on the Dnister, as well as the status of guarantor and mediator in the negotiation process."

I like how all these "balanced" and "used to support Ukraine initially" vatnik accounts average 60-70 tweets daily, exclusively spreading Kremlin disinformation. That's what, 10 hours of tweeting in the middle of the work day?

Kinda like they get paid to do this, huh? Anyway, it seems pretty intense for someone who's "balanced" and "neutral" to spend this much time each day tweeting about the same subject, with the same positions as promoted by the Kremlin.

Weird.

OTD in 2022 there was a sunny peaceful day in Mariupol. I translated the story of the reporter Serhii Vaganov:

February 19, 2022 was the last peaceful Saturday before the war. It was incredibly warm day in Mariupol. +10C degrees. Quiet. Sunny day. 1/7 2/7 It seemed that spring is very real, and the war is just a wild fiction that exists only in the imagination of American intelligence.

“A year ago, under these photos, I wrote: “Mariupol is waiting for spring. 02/19/2022,” wrote the author of the photo report Serhii Vaganov.

1 You know, I was thinking about the beginning of war, and the invasion of Kyiv, & I thought about how much went right for us that Ukraine is standing today and fighting.

Remember, Ukraine was supposed to have fallen in one week, two at the maximum 2 Most of the population didn't believe russia would try to take Kyiv. But, try they did.

I remember clearly on Feb 23rd, knowing that something would happen, but confident that there was no way they would come for my Kyiv - I mean, how could they? It's Kyiv for fucks sake!

Well, Michael Tracey didn't quote tweet me, because obviously he didnt want me to see his retort.

He's witty, isn't he guys? Also, isn't it wonderful that without me saying anything, he is aware this tweet is about vatniks like him?

Oh hey Michael, I know you love talking about Ukraine all the time, but did you learn that Ukraine gained its independence in 1991, and before that it was part of the Soviet Union? If so, did you clarify your tweet, or will you continue to leave it to intentionally mislead?

Before 24 Feb, I had russian friends & acquaintances. Some of them I spoke to every week.

They are educated, international, so-called "liberal" russians.

After war started, 1 messaged me to see how I'm doing.

So tell me, what is friendship with them worth? Since the war has started, I have had literally 1000s of messages of support from complete strangers. But from these so-called "good russians" who I thought were my friends?

Nothing. Not one word. Zip.

Their silence is deafening.
