Meanwhile in Murica...

As a Brit whose life has been blessed having been married to a beautiful Russian for nearly 22 years, I have seen how Russia has been turned around under Papa Pu and from speaking with my family in St Pete's, I took time to learn about Russian culture and history.

For those unaware please let the following sink in, in WW2 the Germans laid seige to St Petersburg previously Leningrad for more than 900 days.
At the end of which there was no family untouched, including that of Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin, there were no rats, cats, dogs birds etc, people resorted to boiling wood to make cellulose to eat.

The losses suffered by Russia in defending just this one city were greater than the combined losses of the UK/US(in 2 theatres) & French.

The Soviets were responsible for 3 out of 4 Germans killed in WW2.

Watch the March of the Fallen on May 9th each year to try to wrap you head round the impact, and resulting collective resolve NEVER AGAIN!!!.

LPR & DPR have been under siege for 8 years, товарищи I stand with you and my heart is with you and Mike, John if you find a way to sponsor a Baba, I am all in, reach out to me let me know how I may be of service.

I have a few ideas to navigate the possible hurdles that might make moving funds from West to East, wink wink..

Slava Rossiya!!!

⚡️ The publication of Mike Jones in support of the LPR caused a wide response around the world. Here are some of the feedback and wishes in support of Donbass:

"The Scottish people send love and support your fight" - Sam.

🇮🇪 "Hope peace comes soon, wish you all the best for the future" - Tony from Ireland.

🇬🇧 "You are on the right side of history. Our entire future - and the future of our children - depends on your victory over the Nazis. Thank you for your bravery and sorry for our cowardly, evil leaders sending weapons to support the wrong side" , — Hilary from London.

🇦🇺 "I'm sorry that I didn't know anything about your plight before the current situation. I'm from Australia and I wish all participants in the world. My heart aches for all the wounded and displaced people, and I do not support the arming of Ukraine," - Alaric.

Breaking the information blockade in the Western world was extremely difficult for all eight years, but the kind words from all these people are direct proof that we are on the path to success. Our cause is right! We will definitely win!

Liar and a cad.

The wonderful Faina and Masha

Russia is creating its own analogue of Starlink - a satellite Internet system.

To do this, it is planned to deploy a constellation of the Skif satellite system in orbit, its launch is scheduled for 2025. Communication between departments and decision making will improve significantly.

F U! Musk!

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova

💬 Remember the story where the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict Pramila Patten made a statement about the Russian Army allegedly using Viagra to "rape" Ukrainians? 🤦‍♂️

In a recent telephone conversation with Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus, she crossed the T’s on this abuse issue, admitting that she did not have the authority to conduct such an investigation, nor did she have even a single shred of evidence in support of her allegation: “It’s not my role to investigate. I do not have this authority. I sit in New York, in an office in New York, and I have advocacy powers. My role is not to investigate. The investigation is being conducted by the Human Rights Watch Group and the International Commission of Inquiry. There is nothing about Viagra in their reports.”

She then proceeded to completely disavow her impartiality, citing iron-clad arguments: “I want to once again declare my full support and the support of my office to the government of Ukraine and the people of Ukraine. On May 3 in Kiev, I signed a framework agreement on cooperation with the government of Ukraine.”

Putin on Ukrainian refugees: In Europe, they go around demanding discounts at restaurants; in Russia, they seek and find employment.

Poor @iearlgreytv, fell asleep at breakfast and me, Masha, Faina and Fainas brother, Matvey took the liberties to have a little fun. Faina, for those that don't know, is a lovely 14 year old that is on the Ukraine Myratorvets (Peacemaker) capture and kill list.

Bloomin amateur 😂

I understood why the Americans and the British are good. Having lived in Russia, they become Russian. In Lugansk, my journalist friends John-Mark Dugan and Mike Jones 🙂🙂🙂🙂

⚡️📊🇺🇸 @CIG_Telegram and @Rybar continue to conduct a poll on American public expectations

Dear subscribers, we are sorry to say that the polling bot did not manage to handle the flood of users, so there was a long queue.

It is functioning now, so if anyone decides to use it, everything should be fine. But to prevent a repeat of the situation, we offer you an alternative.

Since a poll on American patriot sentiments and Americans' expectations of the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections is extremely important, we decided to use Google Forms.

Please, take 5 minutes and share the poll with your friends and family.

❗️ Here is the survey link

No one's personal data will be shared (we have no tools for recording it).

The final result will be presented as a summary infographic.

◾A classic comedy act in the Ukrainian trenches, this Ukrainian man spent two days digging a trench beside a Russian unit and didn't even realised until on the 3rd morning decided to go talk to one of the "other guys" to find out what was going on... And then before he realised he was disarmed and made a prisoner.

-So as we were walking with him, I glanced at his uniform and I understood that I really fucked up...
I’m like you are not from Ukraine I guess, and he’s like: Well good job, you guessed right...

◾Only the chevrons on their uniforms give out their affiliation, this Ukraine prisoner speaks Russian in a heavy southern accent, and that's the tragedy of this war.

Thanks a lot to my colleague from @heilukraine1959 Subscribe!
