If you read into it, they want him held for treason not because of the genocide but because the genocide isn't go so well

They've also apparently been arrested for their comments

Russian Lawmakers Who Demanded Putin Be Charged With Treason Summoned By Police

Seven lawmakers in Russia's second-largest city, St. Petersburg, have been summoned by the police after they demanded parliament's lower chamber, the State Duma, charge President Vladimir Putin with high treason over his decision to launch the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

I'm just a lowly armchair observer... but I don't think this is how you're supposed to store explosive munitions?

Is that a Russian ammo dump the UKR liberated? I would be concerned that they would target it, since they know exactly where it is. Gotta get that ammo out of there ASAP.

Interesting letter from the Russian Finance Ministry, 360B ruble's have been paid out to the families of dead soldiers

The Ukrainian claim of 50K deed troops doesn't look so unrealistic after all.

122k dollars per soldier? Kinda surprised.

That's just the ones they've paid as well.

Looking at Mister Vladimir Solovyov's face, he should stay away from tall buildings. Someone (likely the FSB) has done a number on him for reasons unknown.

Yeah all those young lads on the Moskva for example who never made it back to land are all listed as 'missing' as far as I'm aware.

Target it with what? Sounds like they're cutting and running and have no deeper lines of defense.

Don't know if Ukraine counts DNR/LNR conscripts in their numbers since it's a matter of either considering them lost Ukrainian lives or not considering them at all for betraying the country by essentially erasing them.

I read a fair few of the people in Ukraine are actually in Russia as far as paperwork is concerned, so not even officially there.

Ukraine will I think.

Russia doesn't for the payments above.

Well in theory since they know it's exact location, they could quite probably still launch a cruise missile at it, I guess?

It's fine they raised it off the ground

Well with the incidence of failure across Russia's munitions and obscenely inaccurate artillery they might think it's more of a liability for Ukraine than an asset to leave these caches undisturbed.

Artillery. I have no idea where that is. I still wouldn't want to be hanging around that knowing they know where it is.

Yep, russian ammo dump In Balakliia - Russians ram away so fast they didn't even attempt to destroy it
