    Russians are "partying hard again".....

    17:00 #Donetsk @ropogckou They started firing from #Spartak, ongoing battle

    17:18 #Avdiivka @tiamat007 [combat bagan earlier today]

    #Maryinka
    19:56 Combat is still on

    Maryinka
    17:02 Ka-booms, brief firefight
    19:15 After relative lull, now more intense booms & shooting
    19:32 Intensive shooting, explosions

    19:26 #Avdiivka @owl_ok It is periodically pretty loud. The impression is like battle goes on w/use of small arms and GLs

    19:26 #Avdiivka @amdh2012 Battle near Avdiivka. Strong cannonade is heard in the town.Yet children play outdoors. Peace plan

    19:27 #Avdiivka @owl_ok Black smoke rises far away. The direction of #Yasynuvata CP

    19:42 #Marinka UA positions @Huyovyi_Kolhoz We're fighting using small arms. Both we and they have AGL + RPGs...

    President adviser #Butusov: 8 DNR terrorists are taken captive near #Shyrokyne, 3 killed with reply fire


    22:04 #Horlivka @_GivNeyt_ Salvos - #Gagarina mine, far landings in the west. #Mayorsk-#Zaytseve: battle started, small arms and mortars...

    22:00 #Horlivka @thunderbolt1488 Stir at #Zhovanka began. Heavier than it was in the west during the last hour

    21:51 #Novhorodske @subwayriwer So far, they had succedeed in firing in the direction of #Shyroka_Balka. Almost exceptionally small arms

    Default Russian Harassment of US Diplomats

    According to WaPo, Russia has been engaging in a long-time harassment campaign against DoS personnel based in Russia, including, but not limited to:

    • Breaking and entering their residences
    • Killing family pets
    • Vandalism, including defecation


    Very mature. Wasn't it Putin who seemed so eager to cooperate in some areas even if there were disagreements on others? Yet he has a whole of government approach to apprising the rest of the world that he is dissatisfied with Russia's place in the world and with the sanctions.

    One cannot even be sure if Russian athletes or fans are not part of some plot to disrupt international sports competitions...

    We are well and truly back to the Cold War. Hopefully unarmed NATO reconnaissance aircraft aren't shot down over international waters...

    Azor...thanks for posting this...saw it yesterday and did not know if it fit here but in fact it does.....

    It points to two things.....either Putin sanctioned it and or Putin has lost control over his security apparatus....being former KGB...he has not lost control by any means....

    IMO we are already deep in a Cold War 2.0 ....and thus my concern that the constant threats of war out of Moscow political circles and MoD are in fact valid and should intently be paid attention to.....especially their tactical nuke threats tied to the de escalation first strike rhetoric.....

    MFA Russia
    ✔ @mfa_russia #Zakharova: @washingtonpost article about Russia’s "harassment" of US diplomats suggests the US is deliberately undermining bilateral ties

    MFA Russia
    ✔ @mfa_russia #Zakharova: Diplomacy is based on reciprocity. The more the US damages relations, the harder it will be for US diplomats to work in Russia

    WHOA...appears now the eight POWs are in fact Russian Marine troops captured during an actual attack as they attempt to infil UAF positions

    Now it is interesting just how Russia declares these troops...probably "vacationers".........

    So,captured "sappers" (by Basurin) - RU marines.
