If he is in country and carrying a cellphone he should be worried, not Zelenskiy, he will be using Ukrainian cell networks and even if he wasn't the CIA or Ukrainian intelligence can track him or any of his men with a phone, same for Syrians calling home. A few drones over his AO could paint his convoy and our missiles (the ones the Ukrainians get) can eliminate moving convoys with thermobaric warheads too, or cluster munitions. These people were targeted before with a drone strike that killed 70 of them on the way to Kyiv. The Russians confiscated cellphones from conscripts, but for other reasons, dunno if they will do the same with these killers, the truth doesn't matter much to them, neither does human life.

What happens when you blunty interview and confront a Russian ambassador with the war in Ukraine and the lies.

“Why is your country bombing innocent women and children in Ukraine?” (it’s in English)


He brought printouts of social media comments from their own trolls on their own propaganda as counter argument against destroying hospitals… What’s next, a meme?

I don't understand the swaggering and threatening aspect he poses in his tweet. In the US/English language and society at large, we generally don't see our leaders directly threaten people like Kadyrov did. It's not as if Zelensky is going to give himself up or even change his security precautions because of that.

To me it seems childish bullying and if anything diminishes Kadyrov and makes Russia seem weak. So is this a social difference or is that kind of threat unusual or carry a meaning that I'm not hearing?

For example, an Iranian woman, through a translator said she would "eat her babies if if meant some leader were killed". It was explained that she wasn't literal but using an idiom that translated that way. Or in English somebody might say, "I'd kill somebody for a doughnut right now". Of course they don't mean they would do that, they are saying they really want a doughnut. Is that what he's saying or did he mean to scare Zelensky? Because I don't think that's going to happen.

He's earning his rubles, does not look happy and took a massive pay cut, he also knows the truth, knows he's lying, knows we know he's lying and feels like a fucking fool. He's gonna miss all that free food at the diplomatic receptions and such, he won't be able to afford to eat very well in the west on his salary.

Russian prosecutors warn Western firms of arrests, asset seizures
Russian prosecutors warned Western companies that criticism of Moscow's war on Ukraine could lead to arrests of corporate leaders or seizure of assets in the country.

Companies that received the warning included Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Procter & Gamble, IBM and Yum Brands, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.

The threats came in the form of calls, letters and visits threatening to take legal action against the companies and seize assets including their trademarks, the newspaper reported.

Sources told the Journal that the threats prompted at least one of the companies to limit communications between its Russian business and the rest of the organization.

Since Moscow attacked Ukraine, many private companies — ranging from oil companies and retailers to sports organizations and media — have cut ties with Russia as the country becomes ever more isolated from the global economy.

"Russia’s attack on Ukraine is an act of aggression which is having tragic consequences across the region,” Helge Lund, chairman of BP, said in a statement at the time of his company’s withdrawal last month, noting it worked with "brilliant" Russian colleagues over 30 years in the country.

“However, this military action represents a fundamental change. It has led the bp board to conclude, after a thorough process, that our involvement with Rosneft, a state-owned enterprise, simply cannot continue," Lund added.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin voiced possible support for a law that would allow the Kremlin to nationalize assets of foreign companies that leave Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine, a move that the White House warned against on Friday.

“Any lawless decision by Russia to seize the assets of these companies will ultimately result in even more economic pain for Russia,” Psaki tweeted. “It will compound the clear message to the global business community that Russia is not a safe place to invest and do business.”

On March 13, Ukrainian militants staged a diversion at the Avdiivka Coke and Chemical Plant
On March 13, the retreating militants of the national battalions staged a diversion at the Avdiivka coke plant in the Donetsk region, a source in the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"On March 13, the retreating militants of the nationalist battalions carried out sabotage at the Avdiivka coke plant in the Donetsk region," the report says.

It is noted that a fire broke out at the enterprise, acrid toxic smoke from which spreads to adjacent settlements.

"Because of the ongoing hostilities, it is impossible to extinguish the fire," the department added.

Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal "the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out "demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine", to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for "bloody crimes against civilians" in Donbass .

According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Armed Forces strike only at the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, nothing threatens the civilian population. With the support of the RF Armed Forcesthe DNR and LNR groups are developing an offensive . But there is no talk of the occupation of Ukraine, the President of Russia emphasized.

The War in Ukraine Could Change Everything | Yuval Noah Harari

Concerned about the war Ukraine? You're not alone. Historian Yuval Noah Harari provides important context on the Russian invasion, including Ukraine's long history of resistance, the specter of nuclear war and his view of why, even if Putin wins all the military battles, he's already lost the war.

Funny story.

The program at school I was in was almost all foreign students (mostly China and India, some middle east), and one day they asked me why everyone was so religious.

It took a bit to realize that it was from everyone saying 'bless you' after sneezing.

Planes are good too, but only over friendly territory or near it, drones are hard to detect and can do the job, as long as they are not jammed by the Russians. After this their utility becomes obvious when they are armed or when they can paint targets for missiles with lasers, or observe mortar or artillery fire. Having lot's of drones like this would be a equalizer, many American drones are satellite controlled and can't be jammed. Most of the time nobody knows who is controlling a drone, it could be linked from Poland via the internet or some other means to a transmitter/receiver in Ukraine closer to the action and operate out of there, while being controlled from Poland by NATO personnel. This has been alluded to by former military types.

Not sure what capabilities the Ukranian's have remaining,but that bridge Putin built connecting mainland Russia to Crimea looks like a big fat FKN target to my eyes,what a symbolic strike that would be along w/a big hit to Putin's pride and joy.
