Key Takeaways: Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed his continuing concern over the potential threats that the Wagner Group and Yevgeny Prigozhin may pose t Russia's parallel reality: here's something about the Pope, the Patriarch and the Habsburgs, apparently

For the life of me, I have no clue what he's talking about. Any ideas? The Vatican, through a certa The Ukrainian Air Force explained why they cannot shoot down Kh-22 and Onyx missiles - RFE/RL
This statement by Yuriy Ignat, Spokesperson for the Air Force Command of the AFU, is from 3 days ago and the topic is not new. It's been openly discussed by officials at all levels for over a year. I just felt it could be relevant to bring it up for those who are not aware yet.

We've all heard Putin say they invaded Ukraine to 'save the people of Donbas from 8 years of Ukrainian shelling and genocide'. So, what does Donetsk city look like now after '9 years of Ukrainian shelling'? To be honest, not bad at all.

Please take a minute to read this post by Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin
I honestly believe Russians themselves are the best argument against Russia. Western media doesn't even get close to describing how detached from reality Russian leaders are.

To think that Western media kept talking about 'the civil war in Ukraine' until 2022, and arguing whether Russia had something to do with it... A brief overview State Duma member and former 'DPR Prime Minister' Alexander Borodai came under shelling near Bakhmut
Borodai, a Russian citizen born in Moscow, was also the 'Prime Minister' of the so-called 'Donetsk People's Republic' in 2014.
