‼️ “Russia proposes to introduce another recycling fee” On foreign made elevators “Recycling Fees” in Russia basically operate as a tariff. “This idea was proposed by State Duma deputy Sergei Kolunov.” The Russian government looking for ways to make things worse (again) www.mk.ru/social/2025/...

“Undersea cables” 🤔

‼️ “Empire of German businessman who worked with Russian billionaires collapses in Germany” 👉 Lars Windhorst www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/02/28/v...

I figured out what the Russian Ministry of Finance did wrong when they created PK-29026 😂 Their coupon income rate is wrong. They set up their equations wrong

MORE: ISW continues to assess that Putin remains uninterested in good-faith negotiations that require compromises and thinks that he can achieve his war objectives militarily in the medium- to long-term. (1/3) isw.pub/UkrWar022725

‼️ “Putin's friend's company handles all private flights for officials and oligarchs at Russia's largest airports” I’d find that rather unsettling after what happened to Prigozhin. www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/02/27/k...

‼️ “Russians who left after mobilization proposed to be deprived of voting rights” Not really that much of a loss considering what Russian “elections” are like www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/02/21/u...

When people ask “When will the Russian Economy Collapse?” I wonder what “collapse” looks like to them. Closing Hospitals and not buying medicine isn’t a good sign.

It feels like Russia is generating news stories that foreign brands will or want to return to Russia. And I’m just not sure if there’s facts to back this up. There’s a good chance this is just part of a domestic Russian Propaganda campaign.

❌ Ukrainian General Staff denies Putin's claims on Russians breaking through into Ukraine from Kursk Oblast

I been saying it, Miguel

MORE: Western intelligence assessments suggest that Putin has not changed his theory of victory in Ukraine and still believes that Russia's military superiority is such that Russia can outlast the West and Ukraine on the battlefield. (1/4) isw.pub/UkrWar021825

You have to listen to what he said, not just chop out the end piece. He said that they can not even begin to consider any economic advancement until after the Ukraine issue is settled.

Wenigstens Einer…. 🤷‍♂️👇 Aber der ist auch direkter Nachbar und sieht, was nebenan passiert. Wenn es doch heute bloss sowas wie ein Weltweites Netzwerk geben würde, wo man in Echtzeit sofort Nachrichten und Bilder in alle Welt senden könnte…. Oh, Moment. Gibt‘s ja schon. 🤷‍♂️

‼️ Russia: “Belgorod Governor Accuses Residents of Staging Drone Strike for Payments” Was it Ukrainian drones? And Russia doesn’t want to pay Was it Russian drones? And Russia doesn’t want to pay Did Russian citizens stage it for payments? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/02/17/b...

‼️ Russia: “Moscow's Savelovsky Court has fined the Central Bank of Russia for violating the rules for storing combat weapons.” I can’t believe I didn’t predict this (sorry) www.kommersant.ru/doc/7513948

‼️ Russia: “Legless SMO participant complains about lack of medicines in hospital” 👉 The Central District Hospital of the Kizilyurt District None of this should come as a surprise. www.mk.ru/social/2025/...

Here is a sign that the Russian Budget might not be accurate: Page 1, Article 1, Paragraph 1: publication.pravo.gov.ru/document/000...

This is Kalob Byers, the American snatched up on cannabis charges in Russia. He took this picture in Russia last summer. The “dig the hole!!” tankie meme brought to life. I just. I can’t with the stupidity sometimes.

Russian soldiers are once again voicing their grievances, claiming that even the wounded, including those using canes, are being sent back to the front. They assert that the command is indifferent to their condition and simply forces them into battle.

‼️ “Chinese Railways Refuse to Transport Certain Cargo to Russia” 👀 This interesting and I’m curious to know how strictly enforced this ban could be, especially concerning 1 specific unexpected item. www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/02/14/v...

Igor Girkin is doom posting again. But he does make a valid point. For Putin, stoping a war is much harder than starting one. There are no good outcomes available.

Meanwhile in Russia… “Russian lovers beat each other to death with one hammer” 🇷🇺: HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! 💕 www.mk.ru/incident/202...

5000 Years from now… “Archaeologists Found an Ancient Tomb Filled With the World’s Largest Collection Hotwheels Cars” Experts think the metal miniature vehicles could be an indicator of social status or used for religious rituals. www.popularmechanics.com/science/arch...

‼️ Russia: “Moscow Exchange halted Thursday evening trading after consultations with players” 👀 www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/02/13/m...
