Wanneer het Kremlin zich weer eens verweert tegen aantijgingen, houd dan de befaamde Russische drietrapsverdediging in het achterhoofd:
1. Het is niet gebeurd
2. Het is wel gebeurd, maar wij hebben het niet gedaan
3. Anderen doen het ook

En overigens begrijp je na dit filmpje waarom er in Rusland enigszins verschrikt en beschaamd wordt opgekeken, wanneer Nederlanders elkaar daar opgewekt 'goeiemorgen' dan wel 'goeiemiddag' wensen.

Russian Telegram channels post a video about a cloud of smoke at Russia's Scientific and Testing Center of the Rocket and Space Industry in Peresvet, Moscow.

This is a Roscosmos facility to test rocket engines and spacecraft before launches.

No details at this point.

Maxim Kruglov, the deputy chairman of Russia's nominally liberal political party Yabloko, was arrested last week on charges of spreading "fake news" about Russian atrocities in Ukraine. Today, the feds asked a court to seize all his assets. All this because of two Telegram posts.

❗️Putin admitted that the AZAL plane was shot down by Russian air defense, apologized to the families of the victims and promised compensation.

He added that Russia-Azerbaijan relations need to grow.

Previously, Russia refused to take responsibility for the catastrophe.

From this more thoroughly reported AP piece, it seems Putin has indeed agree to compensate the victims. So a complete capitulation to Aliev's demands.

Putin says Russian air defenses were responsible for Azerbaijani jet's crash last year, killing 38

President Vladimir Putin said Russia’s air defense were to blame for downing an Azerbaijani jetliner in December that killed 38 people.

This is pretty major and illustrates the degree to which the balance of power in the South Caucasus has shifted. Aliev has been demanding this since the incident occurred. Curious now to see whether Putin will indemnify the families and airlines.

"Putin gave us back our Motherland."

In reality,under Putin's regime:
◾️Russia started the bloodiest war on the European continent since WWII;
◾️Russia has been kicked out of G8;
◾️Putin is under a search warrant from the ICC for war crimes;
