"Military police on every corner"
- pro-war Russian blogger Montyan speaks about mass desertions from the Russian army.

She claimed that the Russian military is currently facing a massive wave of soldiers going AWOL, and that military police are sweeping intersections en masse in search of deserters.

The real situation on the Russian front lines is far from their staged parade displays.

The video shows Mariupol.

What Russia did in Mariupol.

What it is doing right now in other Ukrainian cities.

What Russia is doing in Ukraine right now is mass murder, genocide, and turning cities into ruins.

This is not an army of liberators. This is an army of murderers.

Russia used the Victory Day Parade to cover up its most despicable crime – the war with Ukraine.

Peskov said Russia might agree to a ceasefire if Ukraine's allies stop supplying weapons to Ukraine.

Obviously, Russia is not going to stop receiving supplies from North Korea in that case. They will not stop their military production and recruiting new soldiers.

Russia is playing for time and lying - nothing new here.

In one of the villages in the Russian-occupied Kherson region, a May 9 parade was held.

Ukrainian children were put in uniforms, given sabers and forced to parade under red flags with symbols of the Soviet Union.

Russian propaganda on Ukrainian territories is sickening.

Putin thanked North Korean soldiers after the May 9 parade and even hugged one of them.

From "Kyiv in three days" to "thank you, North Korean soldiers for fighting in the SMO."

I wonder if the French cringe under the Anglo choice of the term "Coalition of the Willing" as much as I do?

There is not a single Churchill in the English speaking world, although when a war starts we all like to think we channel the racist wanker as Anglo's do not generally live in reality.

I wonder, does Macron think he's all 'Charles De Gaulle?'

Weniger Informationen über Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine

Die neue Bundesregierung wird nach Insider-Angaben künftig die Information über die Lieferung von Waffensystemen an die Ukraine deutlich reduzieren. Man wolle eine "strategische Ambiguität" in der Kommunikation erreichen, um Russland keine strategische Vorteilen mehr zu verschaffen, hieß es.
