1/ The Russian warblogger Maxim Kalashnikov says that on parts of the front line, the ratio of killed and wounded is "almost 1:1 already". His friend Yuri Yevich blames Ukrainian drones for preventing evacuations at any time of the day or night. ⬇️

"We don't abandon our own!" The russian occupiers from the evacuation team couldn't properly tie a wounded comrade to his motorcycle with a tourniquet, so they simply threw him into the woods. They'll write him down as "missing in action".

Maybe time to once and for all rid ourselves of any illusions about the American government. Keep talking when needed, be polite, be the adult in the room but never trust the Americans, and never ever rely on them for anything.

Jan Marsalek's grandfather was also a spy. My research shows that he supplied the Eastern Bloc with Austrian state secrets for ten years.

Is his family key to understanding Jan Marsalek's story better? My story @diezeit.bsky.social (gift link) www.zeit.de/2025/44/hans...

Hans Maršálek war KZ-Überlebender, Held des Widerstands – und der Großvater von Jan Marsalek. Nun zeigen Recherchen der ZEIT: Auch er war Spion.
