6 crippled men with 3 body armor vests and 2 rifles set out on a mission... No, it's not a joke. It's the Russian army.

🇷🇺 Why wasn't the Omsk oil refinery better protected? 😁🔽 “Ukrainian drones reached the Omsk refinery — the largest in the country, accounting for almost 10% of all oil refining. The refinery supplies all of Western Siberia and the Urals. It is reported that FP-1 drones struck a unit with a capacity of 8.4 million tons of oil per year out of the plant’s total capacity of 22 million tons. The Omsk refinery is such an obvious and attractive target that it was bound to be reached sooner or later. And it was. From the Ukrainian border to Omsk is more than 2,500 km. The FP-1 flies at a speed of 140–180 km/h — that is 14–17 hours of flight in a straight line, but the drone most likely had to bypass air defense zones, so it would have taken longer. That means it took off yesterday evening and arrived today during the day. And this is a slow propeller-driven device that could have been detected in advance, its target could have been predicted, and it could have been tracked all the way to Omsk. In that time, mobile groups could have been redeployed, local forces alerted, aviation scrambled. Twenty hours, after all. Why didn’t this happen? Once again, the answer, I think, should be sought not in technology but in the structure of the Russian vertical of power itself. Imagine officials at all levels, from the Kremlin to Omsk. To organize any kind of defense system, someone has to take the initiative: find resources, involve unusual, non-system people who might be able to solve such tasks, although it’s not certain. Coordinate it with a dozen agencies, agree on coordination without calls to Moscow, cover everything with paperwork so as not to later be prosecuted for misuse of funds. And even after all that, there is still a high chance the drone will break through — and then they will have to figure out how exactly it got through and rebuild the defense again. But the main question is — who will be responsible for the first failure? That very initiative-taking official who made the decision himself? He is supposed to be held accountable for the failure. So he will be removed. By the way, until he showed up, everything was calm, Ukrainian drones weren’t arriving, and as soon as he started being active — they started arriving immediately. Maybe he’s an SBU agent, huh? Let’s be honest — would you, in his place, take on defending an oil refinery?” — Russian political blogger Igor Dimitriev Video: Exilenova+

“We are hearing criticism from all sides that [our economy] has ‘declined.’ Yes, but we have fallen to the level at which EU countries have been living in recent years.” — Putin 😂🤣😂

Russia is doing everything in its power to create a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine. Last night in Kyiv the Russians destroyed the warehouse and office of Ukraine's second-largest pharmaceutical distributor, Optima Pharm. The losses are estimated at over $100 million.

Years ago, there was a tornado in my town. I didn’t know anything was happening; I was watching Netflix when my mom’s best friend called me, asking if I was safe. I had no idea what she was talking about until I saw a metal lawn chair fly past my window just as she was telling me I needed to go down to the basement. I ran around the house like a crazy person collecting my animals. Grabbed my cat, stuffed all four of my chinchillas into a single shoebox, and called my dog to follow me. The seven of us had to hide in the basement for the next half hour. It happened just once, and I still remember that day. This popped into my mind as I was watching the Russian terrorist attack on Kyiv tonight. Meanwhile, Ukrainians have to do every single night what I experienced that day…

Russian propaganda is joyfully reposting a video of Trump saying that Ukraine gave Putin a reason to “bomb the hell of them last night” as justification for Russia’s terrorist strikes on Ukrainian civilians.

I have a theory… I’ve previously stated that I believe Putin knew about the upcoming attack and did nothing to prevent it because he wanted to blame it on Ukraine to unite and mobilize his country. But what if that wasn’t his reason for not stopping the attack? What if he wanted a big terrorist attack to take place so the world (albeit temporarily) stops seeing Russia as the aggressor and thinks of it as a victim? Also, it's curious that just last night Russia conducted the biggest attack on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine since the beginning of the war, and today it's hardly talked about because of what happened in Crocus City… #Crocus #Moscow #Russia #Putin

🤪 Russia: Screw the statistics — whatever Putin says is the truth! A demographic discrepancy emerged at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Irada Zeynalova, Russia’s ambassador to Mauritius, said at the forum that Muslims make up 30% of Russia’s population. Shortly afterwards, Putin stated that Muslims make up around 10–15% of the population. Human Rights Council member Kirill Kabakov then declared that “the question is closed once and for all”: “All discussions and claims that there are 20, 25, or even 30 percent Muslims in Russia must be stopped once and for all. Leading representatives of the Muslim world themselves recognize us as an Orthodox country.”

Cocky Putin says that Russia is prepared to fight until NATO gets tired. Yes, let's pretend that Russia is not begging North Korea and Iran for weapons and didn't just import North Korean soldiers. 🙄

The locals in Kazan, Russia are wondering what that was. 😂 Some people say it was an accident at a substation, others say it was fireworks, and still others claim it was aliens or a meteorite. I'm not joking. I just scrolled through over 300 comments at a local TG channel “Казань на максималках”.
