There is something to dialing an old phone, the act of actually winding the numbers yourself that adds to the powerful experience. The owner says the confined space forces people to truly reckon with their emotions, which he sees as a way for people to find healing & move forward

In Sept the Balakliia bunker came under heavy attack. Locals saw soldiers throwing their guns and equipment away and retreating. In this telegram vid shared by @RALee85, you can hear Ukrainian soldiers talking about the complex being hit with HIMARS twitter.com/RALee85/status…

In July, Commander Popov got even worse news: the FSB had learned that Ukrainians were moving HIMARS to the area. Precise strikes followed. An Aug. 30 spreadsheet showed that the force was at only 71% of full strength. The 2nd assault battalion had 49 personnel instead of 240.

Max Schlund actually used to be called Rostislav Teslyuk in Russia. His partner’s brother said Schlund served as a senior lieutenant in the Russian Air Force. In 2022 Schlund completed a transaction to buy an apartment in Moscow, according to Russia’s property registry.

Eremenko has also been pictured with Igor Girkin. Six yrs ago, Eremenko took part in a Russian dating show where a close associate of Girkin appeared on stage as one of his friends. Asked about it all, he said: “Too much information will do no favours for the pro-Russian side"
