🇺🇦🇷🇺❗You can see from multiple angles that these civilians in Bucha were carrying emergency food rations distributed by Russian forces before the troops withdrew. These victims were almost certainly killed by Ukrainian nationalists for being "saboteurs" who "collaborated" with Russia.

Something about bellingcat is just fundamentally irritating. Aside from the shitty analysis and motivated reasoning that is so obvious in their work, there is something else. One gets the sense that they are just fundamentally nasty and unpleasant people. They are grandiose and resentful nerds with a chip on their shoulder, and this attitude infects their work, making it not just unconvincing, but actually repellent.

UNCONFIRMED
The rumors going around that a US Major General Roger Cloutier has been captured by the Russian army at Azovstal in Mariupol.
IF — I must emphasize IF — this is true, then the political ramifications are impossible to predict.
It would be within the Russians’ right to execute this American officer as nothing more than a common criminal. Not kidding. Legally, by all the laws of war, they have the right to do this.
IF — I again insist, IF — this is true, that won’t likely happen. But it will be a major turning point politically and diplomatically.
I will of course stay on top of this.

This rumour about the American general, I had a look, he appears to have been in Bulgaria on March 9th, Mariupol was long since besieged, so no way for him to get into the city, even if there was a reason for him to be there.
I am pressing X to doubt at this stage, if there is any validity to the claim, Russia will surely announce it in the near future, but it seems highly unlikely to me

Oh boy. US General Roger Cloutier was most definitely involved in training Ukrainian soldiers, as this photo attests. Two days ago, a Bulgarian news source claimed he was visiting Bulgaria — a news item that appeared at the exact same time that the first rumors that he was in Mariupol started to emerge online. At this time, it is unclear where the general is located.
Re: US General Roger Cloutier
too valuable an officer to have in country like that
wouldn't imagine anyone higher than major or captain from a NATO member country being in Ukraine after shooting started
often these operatives are not actually ranked members of military, but employees of civil security forces MI6 etc with military experience

#Ukraine: Remarkable footage of a single UA T-64BV tank engaging a Russian convoy, destroying a BTR-82A from an ambush position. Though other shots miss, appears that this held up the convoy enough for UA indirect fire to strike it, taking out other armour & leading to a retreat. https://t.co/Ax8o23htMD

🇨🇵🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 NATO officers from France, Germany, Britain and “neutral” Sweden got stuck at Azovstal in Mariupol. Right now they are getting in touch with the Russian troops with a request to help them leave, to organize a corridor for the exit.

⚡️🇺🇦 The photo of the "Bucha massacre of March 19" was taken on April 1
Thanks to the help of our team of OSINT and GEOINT specialists, we were able to accurately determine the time of the photo.
▪️A picture from the NYT allegedly from March 19 shows sandy alluvium after the downpour, which lasted from the 31st to the first.
▪️ The attached comparison from the NYT is based on two images with identical shadow positions. They allegedly compared March 19 and February 28. In fact, they compared February 28 and April 1 - the time and position of the shadows coincide. Original dates of photos according to American time.
▪️ The Maxar website provides information on which satellites have been imaging the Bucha region in recent times. A total of three satellites were involved.
▪️ By checking the angle of the Sun over the horizon, SunCalc found the exact time of the image and the direction of the shadows by searching.
▪️ The photo was taken on April 1 at 11:57 GMT (14:57 local time).

Russian central bank announced that it will put the ruble on a gold standard. The bank pegged 1 gram of gold to 5,000 rubles. Now that means, one troy ounce of gold or 32 grams of Gold would now cost 160000 rubles in Russia. At the current exchange rate, 32 grams of gold would cost roughly $1,600 in Russia.
In the US, the same quantity of gold would cost you $1,928. That means Russia has effectively ratcheted up its currency’s value against the dollar by pegging it to gold. If, 1 gram of gold is bound to 5000 rubles, then according to Western standards, the ruble must be valued at 70-75 units against 1 dollar. - TFIG
