In the thread they say there are enough volunteers to skip this call up.
Oh ya, my heart goes out to them. I'm sure they're the only Russian military unit copletely immune from committing, witnessing, or sanctioning torture, rape, child abduction, etc.
Animals. Disgusting animals.
So i wonder if this what the used the long range air defense missile for.
Russian energy giant Gazprom PJSC suspended natural gas deliveries to Eni SpA, Italy's largest oil company, on Saturday, reported Bloomberg.
It's important to note most of the Russian NatGas delivered to Italy flows through Ukraine via the Trans Austria Gas Pipeline to Tarvisio in northern Italy on the border with Austria. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, Italy imported 95% of its NatGas, of which 45% came from Russia.
Those figures are drastically different today as Italy rejiggers its energy supply chain away from Russia and finds alternative supplies of NatGas from North Africa. Before this weekend, Russian NatGas accounted for only 10% of Italy's imports. The new suppliers will help Italy boost storage levels ahead of winter.
"Outgoing Prime Minister Mario Draghi has been scouring the globe to secure gas supplies to protect Italy from potential supply interruptions from Russia, which has been putting pressure on the European Union over several rounds of sanctions in response to the invasion. Italy has been one of the most successful countries to source alternative supplies," Bloomberg noted.
Last week, Gazprom said one of two remaining routes carrying NatGas to Europe -- via Ukraine -- was at risk because of legal issues.
Today's news comes days after underwater explosions damaged Gazprom's Nord Stream system in the Baltic Sea. And less than a day after Russia annexed four regions in Ukraine, as well as Ukraine, applied to join NATO.
An Eni spokesperson told Bloomberg that Austria is still receiving NatGas from Gazprom:
Gazprom said NatGas flows from Austria to Italy were suspended because the Austrian operator refused to confirm "transport nominations" after recent regulatory changes in the landlocked country in the southern part of Central Europe.

Wow if real, that first video looks like mount doom erupting in LOTR. maybe they are blowing a shipment of drones from Iran or jets full of recruits…
More from Crimea.
"The plume of the explosion is visible from the harbor of Sevastopol."

They have literally already captured conscripts.
If you zoom in, looks like the women on the beach are nude
It looks like there are small explosions on the field that cause the plane to crash. Why else would someone be recording the airfield before the accident? Or wishful thinking on my part.
"Images of the incident at the airport #Belbek on the #Krim #Sevastopol They show how the plane skidded off the runway. Then he fell off the cliff #Ukraine #UkraineCrisis"

Putin is a pathological liar so safe to assume conscripts are being sent to the front.
So? They almost unanimously support Ukraine.
Is the pic with a CPAC attendee holding g a Russian flag for real? If so then that is damn crazy and unacceptable.
“The U.S. Ukraine Lend-Lease Act went into effect today. These are landfills for the storage of heavy equipment. Which means more different and high-quality weapons,” Verkhovna Rada chief Ruslan Stefanchuk said."
I am trying to understand what this is. A graveyard for our old stuff somewhere in a desert? Is this new stuff? I thought the lend lease went into effect many months ago?“The U.S. Ukraine Lend-Lease Act went into effect today. These are landfills for the storage of heavy equipment. Which means more different and high-quality weapons,” Verkhovna Rada chief Ruslan Stefanchuk said."
The actual lend lease started today. I was wondering about the photo too. Appears to be a storage area or maybe the APCs being collected that were shipped to Ukraine earlier.?

So what have we been doing to this point? Is the distinction that what we have done to date was an outright of gift equipment with no expectation of return, while what we provide going forward we expect to receive back unless it is destroyed during the war? Seems like a distinction without a difference, as I'm sure we don't want a lot of this stuff back. Hopefully, those hundreds if not thousands of stockpiled/warehoused vehicles are still in good working order and already in Ukraine, or at least in Europe, or on a big cargo ship en route to Europe.
'It is reported that the Armed Forces of #Ukraine have made progress in the region of #Kherson . The town of #Osokorivka is secured by the Ukrainian forces. This returns Osokorivka to the point of the front of the #KhersonOffensive closest to the bank of the Dnieper River."
What troubles me is how disconnected from reality he seems to be, and that he's mixing in religion. Putin's rule has not been marked by religion. But, he's really worked the religious angle since the war started, and he's doubling down on culture/religious propaganda right now.
