Is it because they only know how to make superficial threats to intimidate?

Russia sets ruble gas payment deadline​

President Putin says ‘unfriendly countries’ must switch to its currency by March 31

Russian President Vladimir Putin has authorized the government, the central bank, and Gazprombank to take the necessary steps to switch all payments for Russian natural gas from “unfriendly states” to rubles starting March 31.
The measure targets “member states of the EU and other countries that have introduced restrictions against citizens of the Russian Federation and Russian legal entities,” the mandate published on the Kremlin website reads.
Russia will stop shipping natural gas to countries refusing to settle payments in rubles, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
The decision, first announced last week, came as Russia’s oil trade has been left in disarray as importers put orders on hold due to the latest sanctions introduced against Moscow over its military operation in Ukraine.

Anyone in Germany displaying the letter Z as a symbol of support for Russia may soon face criminal charges. This was reported by the German Ministry of the Interior on Monday, after several federal states declared that they would proceed with criminalization.

Pro Russian sentiment= 3 years in prison.

Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev said that Russia is completing the collection of evidence on the military biological activities of the United States in Ukraine - and that the civilized world will see how the States continue the traditions of the Third Reich with its inhuman experiments on people.

According to Patrushev, the emergence of new centers of world development caused growing dissatisfaction with the United States, they sought to maintain their hegemony by any means and unleashed wars in other regions of the planet - Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria.

"Now that the American external debt has exceeded 30 trillion dollars, America has begun to push humanity towards a global catastrophe."

The military situation around Kiev continues to develop. The parties to the conflict refrain from making loud statements about the occupation of any territories. However, this does not mean that military activities on the front lines were frozen. High-intensity fighting continues in the north-west and east of the Kiev region.
In the North-West, Russian troops attempt to advance to the south of the capital, but they are facing fierce resistance of the AFU units deployed in the region supported by foreign fighters. Taking into account the intensity of military activities the Russian troops are not in a rush to break through the Ukrainian defense
That means, Russian military forces are not rejected, but slowly continue taking the capital in a ring.
The most fierce clashes continue in Irpen, Buchа and Gostomel, Russian troops cut the E-40 highway and bypass Irpen on the western flank. They are likely aimed at reaching the town of Vasilkov located to the southwest of Kiev. The assault of the town is most likely not planned. It is enough to take key transport interchanges in the Vasilkov area. After assaulting Vasilkov, the key task will be to reach the town of Obukhov in order to encircle Kiev. Nevertheless, Russia does not set the task of occupying Kiev and towns around the capital.

The main military developments in the recent days took place in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the Kiev region.
The railway stage on the Kiev- Kharkiv tracks is already out of work.
Some days ago, in the Semipolki area the Su-24 of the armed forces of Ukraine was shot down by the Russian air defense systems. The aircraft was likely shot down by the Russian Buk medium-range surface-to-air missile system. This means that the Russians have deployed a medium-range air defense system in a close vicinity to the Ukrainian capital. The air defenses are already in the tactical depth of the enemy defence. Thus, they can close the sky over Kiev, preventing the use not only of the Ukrainian aviation in the area but also reconnaissance UAVs.

On the night of March 27-28, SU-25 SM of the Russian Aerospace Forces struck several military facilities in Ukraine. The footage shared by locals confirmed that the strikes also hit the AFU in the Kiev region.
At the same time, Russian troops are sending military reinforcement to the front lines to the east of the capital towards Brovary where clashes continue. The main front lines lay near the villages of Kalinovka, Skibin, Velikaya Dimerka. The E-95 highway remains under the Russian control and the reinforcements are sent from the north-eastern direction.
Russian troops are active in the direction of Krasilovka-Trebukhov, attempting to surround the town of Brovary from the south-eastern direction along the E-95 highway. They are aimed at moving further to the south towards Boryspil.

The main task is not to take control over the towns, but to cut the main roads around them and Kiev in general.
At the same time, the overlap of the M-03 (Kiev-Poltava) highway is unnecessary, because it will not affect military supplies to the Eastern regions. For the same reason, the capture of Boryspil in the near future is unlikely.
In their turn, Ukrainian forces supported by foreign mercenaries claim victories to the east of Brovary, threatening the Russian advance to the south.

After several days of fierce clashes in the village of Lukyanovka, the AFU reportedly managed to take control over the settlement at least partially.
According to the deputy head of the Kirovograd Regional Council, the losses of Russians amounted to about 40 servicemen. Several units of Russian armored vehicles were reportedly destroyed, at least three tanks were captured by Ukrainian and foreign soldiers.
At the same time, the similar claims were made a few days ago, but the control of the AFU over the village was not confirmed. Clashes are likely to continue in the area.

Despite the absence of any significant advances of the troops from the both sides, the main goals of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kiev region are clear. There is no signals the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation is planning to storm the Ukrainian capital and nearby towns in near future. The assault of Kiev is likely to be avoided as the price to pay is too high.
At the same time, the main tasks of the Russian military forces in the Kiev region are:

• to shackle military forces of Ukraine
• to complicate or even block logistic supplies throughout the Kiev transport hub
• to cause maximum damage to military infrastructure
• to surround the capital including the city’s outskirts.

However, such goals take time and significant forces.
At the moment Russian troops in the region face significant obstacles which slow down teh implementation of these goals. The main battlefield in Ukraine is not the Kiev region but Donbass, where the joint Russian, DPR and LPR troops are attempting to surround the largest AFU grouping breaking through heavily-equipped Ukrainian defence.
Russian grouping deployed in the Kiev region also faces several logistics problems, that is timely delivery of fuel, lubricants and ammunition to the front lines under the constant enemy fire. The speed of decision-making at the tactical and operational levels also raises questions.

Just a simple way to show support.

I'm not sure if Putin will establish a new order for us, westerners. Unfortunately I think we will still remain under control of the same forces that control the west today, but only if China and mididle-east countries will not turn their backs on the US. If they do, well, we will fall into the big dark hole together with the imperium of lies

At some point when people in the West realize the extent to which the media has told them nonsense. It will be on top coming on top of one false story and narrative after another. I think we will see a final and complete crisis in media in the West. They will exclude even further alternative voices and will build up the media control even more. Even that won’t help. What the Soviet media press was like. Up to the 1950 people tend to believe it. By the 1960 people started to have doubts. By 1970, its credibility all but crashed.

With the internet age. This process will be faster.

Have hope!

This is "100% primitive war propaganda"! It is far from the first and, unfortunately, most likely not the last.

In Mariupol, neo Nazis burned a swastika on the girls body Creepy PHOTOS and VIDEOS

The girl's body was shown to us by the DPR fighters - it lies in the basement of one of the schools in Mariupol, where there was a base of the Azov nationalists. The girl has one arm turn off, the remains of a cellophane bag or there are visible on her head, and a swastika is burned on her stomach.

How we got these photos is a separate story: a little later I will publish a post with details and a video. So far - a few photos and a short video. Who else has any doubts about the Ukrainian nationalists?

Thank you for saying this, I've been scrutinising myself a lot recently, particularly my strategic enclosure when in conversation about life and the conflict in Ukraine. I'm ever so careful in conversation in social gatherings. If in doubt, plead ignorance and play dumb. If given a positive response, one that corresponds with the reality on the ground, well, all good and subtly offer points. I've recommended to people Oliver Stone's Ukraine on Fire, and his 4 part Putin documentary, and have received positive responses. Not many, but then I favour quality over quantity. Perhaps a happy balance is what we are seeking though. Hope, indeed, springs eternal. May Russia succeed in ridding us of these damn psychopaths, some of the footage I have seen is vile in the extreme. The propaganda is so insidious, but reason will find a way. I like that old rule about being able to transpose your knowledge to the level of a seven year old so that they may understand. I try to keep all my explaining skills about the contemporary world as close to that level as I can manage. If I truly understand an idea then this task should be quite straightforward, but I admit it tests me at times.

Thank you bjorn for your message of hope. More chaos, disinfo and subterfuge will ensue, but in the long run the truth will out, I have that faith. In essence it's a great cosmic intelligence test (to paraphrase Aldous Huxley), but karmic and simple understandings will be the key to a groundswell of awake and aware individuals. How bad things will get remains to be seen. I only use my tv to watch soccer and dvds. Thank god for this forum, the only place where I can be myself without having to employ a filter. Onwards and upwards, and don't let the bastards grind you down. But my god it is hard to watch people that I have known and loved for 40 years or more falling for this msm bullshit propaganda. More suffering will have to be the way, I kinda understand what the C's said in the last session now. it's a great challenge, and I think I partially understand the "ecstasy" of challenge more now. For instance I am currently embarking on a triple book reading project. 2 books by Laurent Guyenot, on JFK-9/11, and From Yahweh to Zion, along with Laura's From Paul to Mark. I consider these 3 books as being essential reading today. I bought them ages ago, but only now am I ready intellectually approach them. I'll come out wiser for the journey that's for sure.

I am currently embarking on a triple book reading project. 2 books by Laurent Guyenot, on JFK-9/11, and From Yahweh to Zion, along with Laura's From Paul to Mark. I consider these 3 books as being essential reading today. I bought them ages ago, but only now am I ready intellectually approach them. I'll come out wiser for the journey that's for sure.

Just got a few ideas floating about in my mind on this as I read and listen. I get a general flavour of the calibre of certain individuals, such as Caesar, JFK, RFK, MLK, and Putin, as being certain individuals with a certain knowledge base, and savoir-fair to negotiate themselves through difficult intellectual situations. And they were ultimately murdered for their positive inclinations, along with their access to the machinations of power. We have to be cleverer than them, that's the onerous task. We cannot dream to take the reins of power, but we need the know-how and basic understanding level to negotiate the modern world. Never before has the old maxim "be in the world, not of it", been a more prescient phrase.

Today I was sent the following article in Russian. It's a testimony of a Russian soldier who currently fights in Mariupol. The testimony is anonymous, because they are not allowed to provide any official statements, and I also suspect that he probably shared all kind of disjoined stories, and the journalist made it into a coherent narrative.

But the descriptions are so striking, interesting and raw, I highly recommend it. It's also possible to see why fighting in Ukraine is so hard even for seasoned contract soldiers. It's exactly because they make everything possible to preserve civilian lives.

This text was translated from Russian by a machine translation, and sometimes there is slang, so sorry if it isn't clear enough, But it's still possible to get the meaning.

Mariupol, sweep: Kadyrov soldiers find Bandera members trying to escape from the "cauldron" under the guise of refugees​

It was the Chechens who identified the most Nazis. How do they do it?​

In general, military personnel are not welcome to give interviews during this special operation. But the " SP " correspondent, on condition of anonymity, recorded the story of Marine Sergei S. Contract soldier Sergei works with his company in the western part of besieged Mariupol.

— It's the hardest job. Clearing a city is a very hard, exhausting job. You've been under a lot of stress all day. You know perfectly well that you can become easy prey for a sniper, so you run between houses, bent over and choosing your head in the shoulders. This is a cat-and-mouse game of death. And you're wearing a Kevlar helmet, armor, and ammunition. Each of us is as thin as a washboard. And everyone's legs are like a weightlifter's. You feel more or less calm under the cover of a tank or other armor. Before you run across the street, you "scan" all the high-rises.

Everything gets shot through here. There is a constant counter-Sniper war going on. They have a sniper mountaineer. It works on the fifth and sixth floors. And then quickly descends the rope and runs away before it is covered by a tank, mortar or artillery bombardment. Grenade throwers from the AGS got the hang of sending grenades directly into specific windows. Addressable.

We have guys who were active in the Middle East. Igilovtsev * chased. There is a million-plus city in Iraq — Mosul. Igilovtsy made it a fortified area. So the Americans shelled it into the asphalt. One igilovtsa could put a hundred civilians. We work in a targeted way. That's why it's so hard. From tanks, we work only on identified sniper points — if we don't hit them, we'll bury the shooter under the rubble.

Therefore, they change their beds constantly. Several groups of Buryats and Tuvans snipers were assigned to us. There was even one hunt from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Hereditary hunters. Many passed through Chechnya, Ossetia, and Syria…

But they say that Mariupol is something special. It is extremely difficult to see a sniper in the window or attic of a destroyed high-rise building. They spend hours looking at houses — both with binoculars, and with a thermal imager, and with their own eyes. After two or three days, the eyes become inflamed, the faces become red — as if from constant lack of sleep. They smear them with some kind of deer fat. MTR snipers work together with them. Their rifles break through the walls. In the wall after hitting — holes the size of a basin…
In general, in our platoon, a third of the boys have Ukrainian surnames. They say that we clean up our own country from evil spirits. There are children of the Soviet Union-those who were born in Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan. The militia generally has a full international.

Russians, Ukrainians, Abkhazians, Dagestanis. There are a lot of Caucasians in general. Fighting is their element. In the war, we constantly cross paths with Kadyrov Chechens. First they insure us, then we insure them. At first, they showed a brave contempt for death.

Then they became more careful. The war is positional. Dagger combat is not here, dashing cavalry attacks do not pass. You can become easy prey for snipers or mortars. Bandera members, by the way, also have Chechens. But our people call them " Chechen-speaking Shaitans." We contacted them by phone. Come out, they say, once in a while, we will not shoot — we will fight with daggers like men. They didn't come out.

Among the mountaineers there are those of different ages — those who fought in the first Chechen war. And now we are beating Bandera together with them. Brothers in arms. Our hatred for Bandera is mutual and absolute. We could have covered them all with artillery in an hour. But they hide behind the backs of civilians.

They do not allow people to enter the humanitarian corridors that we have opened, and they scream to the whole world that civilians are suffering from the invaders. In their actions there is no logic, no sense, no high idea. Everything is built on lies - both the clown Zelensky and themselves. They constantly accuse us of what they do themselves. Lies, lies, lies.

It was the Chechens who found out most of the Nazis who tried to leave the city along with the civilians along the gum corridor. They checked their shoulders first — they were still bruised from the recoil of the butt. Knee pads might have left marks on your knees. Yes, and the helmet on the head leaves a red stripe. Some were even sniffed. If a person has shot a lot — they smell like gunpowder and gun oil. A military man who runs around a lot has traces of boots on his feet. There may be a callus on the thumb from equipping the magazine with ammunition. They all tend to be slightly stooped.

On the chest, ammunition is constantly hanging. And this is sometimes over a thousand rounds of ammunition. And he rubs his shoulders, too. There are many nuances. In general, the highlanders have some kind of animal intuition for the enemy. They can feel it on their skin. They will stare at a person with their key and wait for him to look away. And Bandera members do not look in the eyes. They don't like direct gaze at all. And by the way he takes it away, the enemy is sensed. Many were given away by tattoos on their shoulders. Or a trace of an acid-infused drawing.

When civilians were taken out of the city, they didn't even have the strength to rejoice. Complete devastation. Almost like a zombie. Many of them have black, empty eyes. It's like looking into an abyss. It seems to me that the prisoners of concentration camps did not have the strength when they were released by our people. Many are on the verge of insanity or a nervous breakdown. Old people who have had all sorts of sores, as soon as they get out of the basements, die of stress. They are buried right in the city. It's usually buried by neighbors. Mariupol is covered with these mass graves.

After continuous running around the city and shooting, you come to the unit just killed. You think that this bad dream is over for today. Tomorrow we'll start giving the reptiles another nightmare.

And here we are waiting for whole packs of abandoned dogs and cats. They will surround them, sit and wait for the fighters to share their dry rations. Sharing. God's creature, after all.

The other day, one pregnant cat appeared. It crawls, shivers, scratches the ground with its claws, and screams. Food for kittens is needed catastrophically. I gave her some stew. All the other dogs and cats who were nearby didn't even move. Even if they were as hungry as she was. Even zverye understands that a pregnant woman should not be offended. She "wiped off" all the stew and began to lick my dusty shoe. Thanks so much. We gave her a "layup" in the ammo box. The pea jacket was laid out. Such a field cat hospital. Let her give birth to her kittens.

We really need support here and an understanding that all of Russia is behind us. And when the guys sent us the song "We are biting into Mariupol" - we just grew wings. Well done, who wrote the song. It's about us. I had a halo over my head right after it shone. We're doing a great job here. Together, the whole world — Christians, Muslims, Buddhists. We are saving Russia. Only this thought keeps us in good shape and does not allow us to relax. The Lord respects us.

That's what we do here. When I will die-I will remember how we took Mariupol.
