Russia hitting Kyiv civilians with "suicide" drones. Russia is truly an evil country.

I read that multiple countries asked for their citizens to leave Kyiv on the weekend and closed their embassies. Not sure if it's a sign of massive strikes on Kyiv about to happen.

####.

I wish Putin would strike himself. In the head.

With an ICBM.

More countries have also been asking their citizens to leave Belarus while commercial options still exist. It makes me wonder if they are closer to officially entering the war as well.

I saw over the weekend that there was a mass shooting at the Russian training camp in Belgorod. Tajik recruits apparently opened fire on Russia recruits over a religious dispute.

I am assuming this is what happens when you press gang migrant workers into your army. I imagine this will be another strike on morale as well.

But then at the same time, I know China at least had already issued a notice to their citizens in Kyiv to leave back in the spring some time, so I'm not sure if anything has actually changed here or if it's just internet fear mongering.

With the renewed talk of Belarus and their involvement in this conflict this felt worthy of posting.

Very interesting interview with Fiona Hill on Putin's war in Politico.

Among other things she suggests Putin is using Elon Musk to bypass diplomatic channels.

That's actually comical. Not sure why you'd even attempt to suggest that was the same guy a few hours later. But people do it because everything is quick and gets shared and you're an internet winner when you can make something go viral.

Either different guy or not later that day like he's claiming.

maybe the translation is wrong and should be 5 days later, looks like the same guy, same voice and scar on his left cheek.

Yeah, maybe misinterpretation or someone (not BurnThisCity) trying to spice it up to be a bigger viral hit. Either way I hate all the fake/wrong/manipulated/exaggerated BS on social media. It may literally be the downfall of our civilization at some point.

The “5 hrs later” is a meme guys.
It’s not supposed to be literal.
It a joke about how quickly, in this case, the guy changed his tune. It’s not supposed to be taken literally.

Okay, if that's the case I stand corrected. I was unaware of that meme, had never seen that before.

The video footage of those drone strikes is terrifying.

I mean the tweeter says he was captured “in the afternoon”, so pretty clearly it was lost on him. Or ignored. Disinformation is insideous. Question everything.

Anyway, happy to see a Russian get his attitude adjustment.

Sounds like Russia is planning to evacuate part of Kherson in the near term-

Could be the first step in another retreat/defeat.
