Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

You can find Giorgio's interview with Zakharova in italian on Visione TV. For completeness of information about his work, I attach an interview, the two brothers.
Giorgio interviews two wounded soldiers, admitted to the same hospital in Donetsk: one was enlisted in the Ukrainian ultranationalist militia of the Aidar battalion and one belonged to the militia of the Donetsk People's Republic.
Dismissing their uniforms and stepping out of their respective roles, what remains are two peers speaking in Russian, unfiltered, about the catastrophe that is destroying their country.The automatic English translator works although it loses something as usual. But it gives the idea I think.

Blasts heard throughout Ukraine – officials

Air alarms have reportedly sounded across the entire country on Friday

An air raid alert was announced for all parts of Ukraine on Friday morning, as media and officials reported explosions in various cities and regions, including in the capital.
The mayor of Kiev Vitaly Klitschko reported explosions in at least three of the city's neighborhoods and has urged residents to remain in bomb shelters. Aleksey Kuleba, who heads the Kiev Region’s administration, claimed air defense systems around the capital were engaging incoming missiles.
Reports of explosions and calls on the public to heed warnings about missile threats have come from Kharkov, Dnepropetrovks, Kirovograd, Poltava, and Vinnitsa Regions, among others. Meanwhile, the national system warning about possible airstrikes sounded for all parts of Ukraine by about 8:30 am (6:30 am GMT), according to local media.
There were few immediate damage reports, though the mayor of Khrarkov, Igor Terekhov, reported a blackout. Aleksandr Vilkul, who heads the administration of Krivoy Rog Region, claimed missiles had hit a residential building, without offering further details.

Ukraine hits Donetsk with worst shelling in eight years – mayor
Russia sent troops into Ukraine in late February, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk protocols, under which the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk were to have been accorded a special status within the Ukrainian state. Moscow recognized the Donbass republics as independent states, which have since voted to join Russia, along with Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
In October, the Russian military started targeting energy facilities that the Defense Ministry believes to be crucial for Ukraine’s military capability. As a result, the Ukrainian energy system has been significantly degraded, forcing the government to introduce rolling power cuts.
Moscow has justified the change of tactics, stating that it happened only after Kiev launched several sabotage operations against civilian infrastructure in Russia. Days before the shift, a truck bomb had detonated at the Crimean Bridge, killing three civilians and causing serious damage. Russian investigators said the attack was masterminded by Ukrainian military intelligence.
The Russian Defense Ministry has neither confirmed nor denied a new wave of attacks on Friday.

- 10 missiles were shot down over the Dnepropetrovsk region.

- 1 of 2 missiles was shot down over the Zhytomyr region.

- 3 missiles were shot down over the Kherson region.

- 2 missiles were shot down over the Nikolayev region.

- 6 missiles were shot down over the Vinnitsa region.

In total, 59 of 72 missiles were shot down.

Of the remaining 13 missiles, 15 hit targets in the Zaporozhye region, and various infrastructure targets across Ukraine, in a show of unity and solidarity with their less-fortunate brethren, committed self-immolation.

To be honest, I did not understand the metaphor. :-(
Most likely because he was never interested in the brains of dinosaurs. What's the point?:-)
Hi f1esk,

Ryan was making a bit of a joke. The accepted science is that large dinosaurs had two brains, a main one in the head, and a secondary, smaller one further down the spinal column to control the tail/hindquarters.

In Ukraine, the real head, as you have said, is in Washington, but there is still the smaller brain in Kiev. So he was speculating that even though taking out the smaller brain wouldn't take down the beast completely, it could still seriously cripple it.

Hope that helps! :) 🦕 🦖

And thanks for your on-the-ground observations. They really help understanding the whole picture.
