Apparently he may've been working as a mercenary after having been drummed out of the armed forces.

63 years old according to the article.  That's a bit on the gray side for front line expeditionary members, wouldn't you say?

Comments in that article and elsewhere say he was with Wagoner and that they have their own air branch.

Either they are going to execute them, or they are going to use them as leverage against those being tried by Ukraine - some speculated that if Ukraine started putting Russian soldiers on trial, Russia might feel more pressured to do POW exchanges vs letting Russian soldiers air their dirty laundry.

Well he cannot lock his troops in gulags if the Ukrainians have them.

Russian President Vladimir Putin quipped on Monday that he would have a serious talk to the West about its assertions that he was to blame for all the economic chaos sown by the conflict in Ukraine and the West's crippling sanctions.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands and displaced 14 million people, while the West's attempt to isolate Russia as punishment and Moscow's blockade of grain shipments from Ukraine's Black Sea ports, have sent the price of oil, natural gas, grains, cooking oil and fertilisers soaring.

Quote

At a televised meeting in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Putin told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko that Russia's economy was doing well, despite the Western sanctions. Lukashenko said the sanctions had given both countries the impetus to focus on self-development, and that the elites of the West were deluded about the causes of their economic woes.

Look at their economy

Quote

Three months after the Feb. 24 invasion, many ordinary Russians are reeling from those blows to their livelihoods and emotions. Moscow’s vast shopping malls have turned into eerie expanses of shuttered storefronts once occupied by Western retailers.

.....While the multinationals were leaving, thousands of Russians who had the economic means to do so were also fleeing, frightened by harsh new government moves connected to the war that they saw as a plunge into full totalitarianism. Some young men may have also fled in fear that the Kremlin would impose a mandatory draft to feed its war machine.

Quote

Andrei Kolesnikov of the Carnegie Moscow Center wrote in a commentary that Russian society right now is gripped by an “aggressive submission” and that the degradation of social ties could accelerate.

“The discussion gets broader and broader. You can call your compatriot — a fellow citizen, but one who happens to have a different opinion — a “traitor” and consider them an inferior kind of person. You can, like the most senior state officials, speculate freely and quite calmly on the prospects of nuclear war. (That’s) something that was certainly never permitted in Soviet times during Pax Atomica, when the two sides understood that the ensuing damage was completely unthinkable,” he wrote. “Now that understanding is waning, and that is yet another sign of the anthropological disaster Russia is facing,” he said.

Quote

“We see deterioration in the economy now across a broad range of sectors. Companies are warning that they’re running out of inventories of spare parts. A lot of companies put their workers on part time work and others are warning to them they have to shut down entirely. So there’s a real fear that unemployment will rise during the summer months, that there will be a big drop in consumption and retail sales and investment,” he told The Associated Press.

The comparatively strong ruble, however heartening it may seem, also poses problems for the national budget, Weafer said. “They receive their revenue effectively in its foreign currency from the exporters and their payments are in rubles. So the stronger the ruble, then it means the less money that they actually have to spend,” he said. “(That) also makes Russian exporters less competitive, because they’re more expensive on the world stage.”

Putin says "friendship ended with EU.  Now Belarus is my best friend."

Belarus's leader going all in on it.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko delivered a bizarre letter to the United Nations Secretary General António Guterres arguing that the UN and other world leaders should essentially let Russia do as it pleases in Ukraine, and deflecting blame for the consequences of the war, as Russian forces continue to wage war in the country for the 89th day.

He urged other governments stop providing weapons as the war in Ukraine carries on, attempting to paint the supply of defensive weapons as a provocative behavior, ignoring the fact that Russia started the war in Ukraine.

Quote

“Together and each in our role, we can do a lot today: refrain from the supply of weapons,” Lukashenko said, adding all countries can refrain “from information warfare and any provocations, from inflating hate speech in the media, from encouraging racism and discrimination based on national, cultural, linguistic and religious affiliation, from legalization and direction of mercenaries.”

Lukashenko urged the Secretary General to consider instituting a “new world order” in which all members of the international community have “security guarantees,” because it would be in the UN's interest to “prevent the conflict from becoming protracted with devastating consequences.”

Fuck you, you let Russia launch from your territory

Quote

“Today, the world, unfortunately, forgets that Belarusians have never been a threat to any of their neighbors,” he said, lamenting the sanctions imposed on Russia. “We are not aggressors, as some states try to present us. Belarus has never been the initiator of any wars or conflicts… The conflict in Ukraine, its root causes, and the current Western sanctions against Russia are already having their devastating consequences…”

“We are not traitors,” Lukashenko added. “Honesty and integrity in relationships are important to us.”

Quote

Lukashenko also blamed other countries, not Russia, for kickstarting the war, claiming that they ignored Russian needs, echoing earlier complaints from Putin about Ukraine and NATO acting aggressively towards Russia.

“The unwillingness of Western countries to work on strengthening common and indivisible security, their disregard for legitimate interests and ignoring the concerns of other partners, primarily Russia, first resulted in trade, economic and information wars, and then provoked a hot conflict on the territory of Ukraine,” Lukashenko said. “The security architecture in Europe has failed.”

Doesn't solve for the Russian subs in the Black Sea that will sink grain freighters.

Which, again.....I say "let them."  Announce an unarmed convoy.  Parade it through the bosporous with much fanfare.   Follow it on satellite the entire time,,,,,so the world will get to see Russia attack an unarmed freighter, on a humanitarian mission, live.  Make Russia go full Russia in front of the whole world.  Alternatively, emasculate Russia by sending ships right past them, loading up with grain, and then heading back to the people who need it.  Either way, Russia loses.

I applaud the use of the new Polish flagged freighter “Putin’s Tiny Dick” in that convoy.

So I have been watching this channel for the past couple of weeks. American guy giving a pretty standard daily recap, frankly most of his stuff s already covered by this thread, but what he does well is updating a map with all of the changes on the various fronts. Now he is adding a new 3D topographical map which is very cool to see. Just needs a couple of smoldering tanks to make it feel 100% authentic.

Uh, doesn't linguistic history suggest that Russians are offshoot Proto Indo-European/Ukranians and that, actually, Russians need to be brought back into the fold?

Zelenskyy's social media team needs to get on this ASAP, and all Russian speaking areas need to be returned to Ukraine.

Best outcome to all of this for Russians would be for somebody like Navalny to end up in power.  It would take somebody like him who A) recognizes the actual problem with Russia's actions and the impact they are having on Russia itself and B) tries to do whatever is necessary to reconnect with Europe/the world.

You’re right. It would be the best outcome for Russia. But he’s gonna die of food poisoning in prison.
