We might actually see a shift more towards genuine journalism, where holding "the powerful" accountable becomes fashionable again.

So I'm seeing on telegram and some twat feeds, that Russia may "declare war" since Ukraine is fighting back , and (probably) sunk the Moscva.
What precisely changes there? Anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together can see this is a literal war and invasion. What does a deceleration do that a sepcial operation doesn't? Total mobilization? More forced conscription? Sounds like the fast track to a prelude to full war in Europe to me. Which may have been what they wanted all along. They know they can't compete conventionally with NATO. |

The stocks that the townspeople have made have already either run out or are nearing the end of many. All bottled drinking water in stores was sold out - only carbonated water remained in bottles with a capacity of one to two liters. Therefore, for many residents of Nikolaev, the problem of obtaining water became a priority this morning. Lines line up near springs. Many citizens come or walk directly to the river and collect water for technical needs. Attached File |

If so, the sinking is a massive achievement and propaganda victory for Ukraine. I would even suggest that the timing of the (possible) attack was chosen to flip the propaganda script over losing Mariupol. Overnight the international storyline went from doom and gloom over the near-end of resistance there to stunned elation, showing that Ukraine’s propaganda game continues to be on point. View Quote Point 12 is the most important. Russian reaction was to pull ships further from shore. That says they were hit from the shore. It’s simple. Plus, their media double speaks that retaliation against Ukraine is demanded for the sinking… meaning they know it was sunk by enemy action. |

"Rail War" continues to gain momentum in Russia: successful sabotage on Russian railways have already taken place in 4 regions
This was reported by @belzhd_live. It is known that on the Moscow Railway for the last 2 weeks rail guerrillas conducted successful actions on the unsuitability of railway tracks in the Bryansk, Orel, Smolensk and Kursk regions. For this purpose, in particular, special devices are installed in the relay cabinets of the SCB, which work on a timer and completely burn out the internal equipment of the relay cabinet.

I love the headline.
German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck has called on the public to cut energy use and stop using cars to help wean their country off Russian oil and gas. "If you can take the train or bike over Easter, that's good too: it's easy on the wallet and annoys Putin," said Mr Habeck, who is also economics minister and co-leader of the Greens. Germany has resisted European calls for a ban on Russian energy. Ukraine's president has criticised the stance of both Germany and Hungary. "We need to talk together with these countries on how it's possible for there to be different attitudes to this issue - the oil embargo within the European Union," Volodymyr Zelensky told the BBC. He has argued that Russia does not need to take peace talks seriously because of the billions it receives from oil exports. Some of Ukraine's friends and partners now understood it was an issue of survival for Ukraine, he said. Although German imports have fallen this year, it still gets a quarter of its oil and 40% of its gas from Russia. It has already halted the opening of a big Russian gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2, in response to the war. Earlier this week, German economic institutes warned that immediately halting Russian imports would spark a sharp recession in Europe's biggest economy by 2023. Amid EU pressure to ban Russian oil, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has indicated that Germany could do so by the end of this year. However, some members of his coalition from the Greens and business-friendly FDP have accused him of failing to show leadership. The head of parliament's defence committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, who was part of a German delegation visiting Kyiv this week, said Germany's old, rigid world view had collapsed. "Now is the time to lead and by doing so move forward together with our coalition," she added. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has appealed to Berlin to make a quick decision on sending further heavy weapons. "Germany plays a leading role in Europe and we are counting on this leadership," he told German TV. "We are paying the price with people's lives," he said, adding that if Germany had changed its approach earlier then war could have been prevented. View Quote |
