RT @rshereme: The list of “unfriendly” countries designated by russia is almost identical to the list of countries where there is drinking tap water. You can make your own conclusions, but I think that russians just don’t like tap water.

RT @vmorkevicius: The Chinese ambassador's claim here about "ex-Soviet" states is really odd.

He asserts that such states don't have an "effective" legal status in international law because "no international agreements have concretized their status as sovereign states." /1

So it seems you are not allowed by @twitter to use the word "verified" in your profile. "verif" is as far as you are permitted to write the word.

What a weird, weird site this has turned into.

Utterly repulsive yet compelling typical of the Russian army.

A fascinating thread on air power: Russian pilot fears and Ukrainians’ lack of decent aircraft
RT @Mylovanov: Today I talked to a Ukrainian pilot. He is a commander of an aviation unit conducting combat and evacuation missions. In Bakhmut and elsewhere.

The story that captured my attention was of his conversations with Russian pilots. They know each from before the invasion. 1
