The Russian State Duma submitted a draft law on the denunciation of Russia's recognition of the independence of #Lithuania. It says the recognition was “illegal”. It’s like watching a stupid movie about an insane dictator whose actions make it worse.People around him are the same

Putin compared himself with Peter I, saying that Russia is on a quest to “return” its land. According to Meduza, Russia is planning to unite most Ukrainian lands occupied by Moscow into one “Russian region.” If this doesn’t scream give Ukraine more arms, I don’t know what does.

When Putin compared himself to Peter the Great he didn't look 'cornered' or defensive After 3+ months of war in Ukraine which he claimed was to 'denazify' & not occupy, he now says it straight: he is on a mission to 'return' land to Russia He's expanding his 'empire'

@Maxar image from the Olenivka Prison where 50 PoWs were killed seems shows possible graves dug near the north wall. The possible graves appear to be open and recently dug on the 27th (2 days prior to the explosion) and covered on the 30th (1 day after).

Worauf warten wir noch?

Russian propaganda TV shows fake referenda in Mariupol. A "ballot" is thrown into the ballot box, on which there is NO MARK. No one would be count this pieces of paper... Russia has already drawn 146% of the support from the population of the occupied Ukrainian territories!
