❗️In occupied Alchevsk, a collaborator stole a generator from the enterprise and was later electrocuted by it. Now that's Karma

After the invasion, the Russians planned to divide all Ukrainians into five groups, ranging from active collaborators to leaders of Ukrainian nationalism who would be subject to show trials, according to a report by the British Royal United Services Institute for Defense Studies. Their approach to creating the occupation administration was to first seize all possible databases about the region and its population-from hospitals, educational institutions, housing offices, etc.-and then create a map of who lives where and who is connected to whom. The five groups were: leaders of Ukrainian nationalism (to be destroyed or put on trial); those who could support the Ukrainian resistance (law enforcement, military, government officials) - they were harassed or recruited; apathetic ordinary people; active collaborators; and those on whom the normal operation of critical infrastructure depended (needing total control). In every village and city, the occupiers set up interrogation and torture rooms, using the same type of torture devices, indicating that the Russians had prepared systematically and in advance. The FSB relied on tactics of intimidation and violence, as the experience of the Second Chechen War showed that only 8% of the region's population could be supporters of the new government.

There is a growing conflict between Kadyrovs men and the Russians in Russia due to the protests against the construction of a mosque in Moscow. Kadyrovs men are confused as to why they are not allowed to build the mosque and have threatened the Russians with war. Kadyrov has noticed a weakening of Putin's power and has expressed his dissatisfaction. He has addressed the Katsaps who are against the construction of the mosque, urging them to take up arms and show their patriotism through action rather than words. Although Kadyrovs men are willing to go to war with Russia, Kadyrov will remain loyal to Putin as long as he continues to receive large subsidies from the Kremlin.

The main news for today is that a former head of the occupation administration of Yakymivka, Maxim Zubarev, was blown up in Melitopol. Poland has handed over the first MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Governor Alexander Bogomaz reported that a drone attack was launched on the military enlistment office in the Sivsky district of the Bryansk Peoples Republic, resulting in damage to the building. There are no preliminary casualties, and emergency services are working at the scene. In response, the Kursk Peoples Republic has decided to conduct another inspection of the BRN.

Today, news about the upcoming counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been circulating on the internet, so let's discuss this topic. President Zelensky said that the Russians still have time to leave, otherwise we will destroy them. It is expected that the counteroffensive will take place in April-May, depending on the weather conditions. Tracked vehicles, such as Leopard tanks, may be used in the offensive. The US Permanent Representative to NATO, Ambassador Julianne Smith, has expressed her belief that the Ukrainian side will determine the timing and tactics of its counteroffensive. Smith also said that Russia does not have the capability to launch a successful offensive against Ukrainian positions. The success of the counteroffensive will depend on the ability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to coordinate different types of troops, including artillery units, tank corps and infantry troops. Military analysts are confident that the results of the counteroffensive will be positive.

Let's end the discussion about the exciting Tatar evening with a bang.

Russians are launching missiles from the air again, causing people in the Zaporizhia region and Kherson region to take shelter.

Ukrainian hackers hacked into the AliExpress account of Russian army volunteer Mikhail Lucin and redirected $25,000 worth of drones he had ordered to Chinese silicone rods instead. The Cyber Resistance team was unable to transfer the funds to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so they chose sex toys of the same value for Lucin instead. They linked his volunteer card to the AliExpress account, giving them access to the account. As a result, Lucin will now receive a unique collection of sex toys instead of the drones he had ordered. The hackers have already sent some of the goods, so Lucin will not be able to cancel the order. This is not the first time the Cyber Resistance team has helped the Ukrainian military, as they previously assisted the wife of a Russian colonel to transfer data on officers of an aviation regiment from the Krasnodar Territory to the Ukrainian military.

Electro Optic Systems (EOS), an Australian defense company, has agreed to a contract worth nearly $80 million to export its Reactive Missile Systems (RMS) to Ukraine.

Ukraine has freed 12 people from Russian captivity, including 10 military personnel and two civilians. Five of the released prisoners were seriously injured, according to the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, a total of 2005 Ukrainians have been released from captivity.

At present, the situation in Bakhmut is still characterized by urban fighting. The situation in the Khromove and Ivanivske areas has become more stable. In Kreminna, localized fighting continues with unsuccessful attempts by the occupiers to launch spot attacks. The most difficult situation remains in the areas of Nevelske, Severne and Pervomayske.

Peter Beinart is absolutely right. One of the biggest reasons the political left is weak in the US is that many of us on the left choose to tear away at each other across lines that divide us, rather than making common cause and turning our critical focus towards those who really deserve that focus, those setting us against each other from the top of the economic ladder.

The lack of solidarity of many on the left in US, and the insistence on purism tests: so politically dumb.
