https://www.thedailybeast.com/gonzal...ted-in-ukraineUkraine’s Security Service (SBU) has arrested Gonzalo Lira—a dual citizen of the United States and Chile, who has been living in Kharkiv—on charges of producing pro-Russian propaganda.
Lira, a prolific and controversial online personality, is accused of creating and disseminating materials that justify Putin’s armed aggression against Ukraine. He is facing the possibility of being imprisoned for five to eight years.

He is a loser and Russian propogandist who foolishly decided to simp for Russia in Ukraine. LMAO
I would like to know why I can't see these things. :/
At this point it is obvious that Russia will never recover in my lifetime, and the chance of an implosive civil war grows daily.
My thoughts as well.
The only thing missing is SIMS game CDs being recovered.
All that fighting for the building, only for the russians to be blown up in it.
https://www.reuters.com/business/ene...il-2023-05-04/MOSCOW, May 4 (Reuters) - Russia's federal budget revenues from oil and gas, the lifeblood of its economy, fell 64% in April from the year-earlier period and declined by 5.9% from March, the finance ministry said on Thursday, as a result of higher subsidies to oil refineries.

Ukraine only has to hold the remaining few kilometers of Bakhmut until 23:59 on 9 May to deliver the final embarrassment to Putin. Russians threw everything they had into Vuhledar, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Mariinka and they have nothing to show for it.
Biggest military disaster in 80 years
It doesn't matter if ukraine holds some parts of bakhmut or not. Truth has never been an obstacle for ruzzkies to claim whatever they need, to show for public. There is zero opposition or any free media to challange them.
Mate it is a very big deal because Prighozin and Kadyrov are losing their because Wagner hasn’t taken it by May 9th as they promised Vladdy
?????
You forget that comrade Hater called Bakhmut falling 10 months ago!
Putler must have on himself several times over after so many failures in this 3-5 day SMO.
Russia launched a large missile attack last night, specifically on Kyiv (attack ended about an hour ago). Air defense shot down 18 of 18 X-101 cruise missiles fired at the city.
Another failure by Russia which is doubly frustrating for them, as on the previous night they launched a massive Shaheed attack to detect and deplete UAF AD capabilities. There were no casualties, just minor damage from falling debris of the missile intercepts
Worth noting that the leaders of the CiS countries showed up only because China asked them too. All but Armenia, who is seeking to align with the West after years of poor decisions.

2024 parade:
armenia is between a rock and a hard place. dont know if those decades of poor decisions can really be undone. still cant fathom that the first major foreign policy decision for small, poor armenia following the dissolution of the soviet union was to engage in a war over land.
armenia's main antagonist right now is azerbaijan which is basically just Turkey-East, and as long as turkey remains on good-ish terms with the west via nato, not sure what kind of support armenia can expect. they've made their bed with russia, and russia hasn't provided the protection promised either
Where was this reported?
It was on a Telegram feed I read earlier:
Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Russian President Vladimir Putin has an unexpected "joy" and a reason to cheer up a little. A number of heads of state will take part in the Victory Day parade in Moscow. True, all the "friends", as if by choice, are the leaders of the republics of the former USSR, but without fish it will do. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of those leaders who agreed did so, as they say, at the last moment. Everyone has different motives, but a "polite" and persistent request to everyone came from the suzerain - China. The countries of Central Asia are confidently drifting under the dominant influence of China, as well as Lukashenka, who is striving there, but with Pashinyan, a slightly different story. Pashinyan wants to make peace with Azerbaijan, but at least on more or less tolerable conditions and with the help of the United States and a number of mediating countries, he is close to this. Putin can interfere, and here Pashinyan has practically no maneuver, we must respect. China wants to show, above all, the United States, that not all efforts to make Putin a pariah succeed. The Chinese leadership plays as a center of influence and as a counterbalance to the United States. Plus, China is not yet sure about the winner in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Now Beijing acts more as an observer, but plans to move into the role of a mediator in the negotiations. Of course, it is important for China not to let Putin lose and lose power in the country. The Putin regime, which provides maximum resource and economic benefits to China, completely suits Beijing and the Chinese leadership will make every effort to maintain the regime with or without Putin. All heads of state who arrived at the Victory Parade in Moscow, except for Pashinyan, will soon receive security guarantees from China, and Armenia’s withdrawal from the CSTO will put an end to the organization and open the way for participating countries to a similar alliance with Beijing. Putin was preparing to put up his backup for the parade the day before, now he is forced to take part in person. The President of Russia is confident that surrounded by so many heads of other states, he is safe and no one will dare to provocation with the disruption of the event, and even more so to assassinate him with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles. Putin has been feeling far from the best lately, and spending tomorrow in intensive mode will be a real test for him. This is the last Victory Parade for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Take what you want from the above, but there is definitely stock in China wanting their mits on Belarus, which is why Putin initially panicked after his meeting with Xi and announced he would deploy nukes to the puppet state
