Ukraine explainer:
Russian version of Pooh Bear takes a quick dive into a black pond called History of Ukraine. He comes out armed, saying "Russia will pay for everything".

1/ Russian warbloggers are angrily denouncing General Valery Gerasimov for blatantly lying to President Vladimir Putin about Russia's military progress in Ukraine during a televised briefing. They note that the incident highlights the persistent problem of false military reporting. ⬇️

That happens everywhere, from small families to the USA's presidential palace.

Is this about Russian state money, or the private assets of Russian oligarchs?

You might be, as two cities were served only by Angara.

No, they kill themselves first.
If captured unconscious they have to be resettled in South Korea.

Pay in the Russian army is much higher than in civilian jobs - but recruiting ads don't mention that you have to buy *everything* yourself!

1/ Russian soldiers say that the army isn't issuing them with fuel for combat operations. They are trying to buy it with their own money but are struggling to obtain it in Donetsk because only coupons are now being accepted as payment, due to the ongoing fuel shortages. ⬇️

The jostling for position to replace Putin when he falls has been happening for some time - all those sudden deaths of elite males!

Reading itself is "the only place in southern England where the whole town's on the wrong side of the tracks".
Caversham's mostly Lower Chavs and CPV, though Emmer Green's more lower-middle. You won't hear Posh spoken in any of those!
Pangbourne now...

Only if there's another coup attempt.
The oligarch-owned media talking about it just means they're short of news.

Come to Reading and see how our 124 ethnic groups do cultural cohesion!
The best way with ethnic minorities is to have as many different ones as possible, so that no one group has a majority.

Ads show a social class one step up from the target customer. That's normal, but they should reflect the real demographic of that class 😊
