🧵🚨URGENT in #Germany: On the heels of news that even German Foreign Intelligence's head of counterintelligence was a double-agent spying for #Russia, Putin's mafioso billionaire Viktor #Kharitonin has quietly purchased the Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. The German government must act.

Vadim #Boyko, Russian Navy Colonel & Deputy Head of Makarov Pacific Higher Naval School in #Vladivostok has been killed in his office with 5 bullets to the chest. He was heavily involved in Putin's mobilization efforts.
Russia propaganda reports it was suicide (I am not kidding). twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Bakhmut has a total area of 41.6km².
Ukrainian soldier on the front has reported that 7.8km² of the city was liberated during this one night. That'd give Ukraine control over 1/4 of the city. Russian army's 6th & 8th companies, 72nd brigade, were routed. ✊

#NewYear in #Russia: Wifes trying to get their husbands back as they are taken away by riot police in #SaintPetersburg. No one seems to know why it's happening, same as in #Moscow. Probably straight to the front in #Ukraine.

🚨 #Bakhmut may very well end up being the catalyst for a Russian civil war.
1) Putin has ordered that Bakhmut must be taken by May 8th, in time for the Soviet Victory Day parade on May 9th. He has threatened Shoigu and others with dire consequences.

Putin's Spring 2023 offensive will likely come from all directions - North, East, and South, a repeat of Feb 2022 invasion but with lessons learned & hundreds of thousands more troops. It will be bloody. Time is running out for the West to act decisively. Too little too late.

Putin's bodyguards shot & killed a conscript on the shooting range in #Ryazan who approached Putin too aggressively. Putin's promo video exiting his limousine had to be redone - reportedly disclosed by FSB & Kremlin sources. Conscript witnesses + family threatened to stay silent.

As Putin is committing genocide, rapes, and tortures of Ukrainians, President Zelenskyy's ability to respond to such an asinine question from an Italian journalist in a civil manner is commendable. A true leader. ✊
