More very damaging losses for #Russia yesterday.

It's always been a problem for Moscow after sending most of its domestic protection to #Ukraine, only to have to bring some back as #Kyiv shows more ability to hit long range targets.

Die Dumabgeordnete Irina Jarowaja fordert eine Verschärfung des Gesetzes gegen "#Russophobie". Künftig soll diese in #Russland strenger bestraft werden. Die Abgeordnete war früher Teil der liberalen Oppositionsplattform "Jabloko" ist aber später zur #Putin- Hardlinerin mutiert/1
Sie gehört inzwischen zu den aktivsten Dumabgeordnete u. ihre Gesetzesinitiativen laufen immer auf eine Einschränkung von Freiheitsrechten hinaus. Hintergrund ist u.a. die Ankündigung Polens künftig nicht mehr #Kaliningrad sondern die polnische Bezeichnung Królewiec zu nutzen/2
#Putin/s Sprecher Peskow sprach von "Russophobie an der Grenze zum Wahnsinn" - was nun genau diese "#Russophobie" sein soll, ist völlig unklar. Bereits jetzt kann so ziemlich jede kritische Äußerung als "Diskreditierung der russischen Armee" bestraft werden./Ende

#putin escalates by voicing his plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on #Belarusian territory.
It was planned well before. In 2020 #Lukashenko illegally seized power. In February 2022, he conducted an unlawful referendum that ditched the country's non-nuclear status. ⏬

putin voices a plan to modernize Belarusian aircraft to make them nuclear-capable and train Belarusian pilots to operate them. In December 2022, putin deployed, and in February 2023, the Belarusian reported that they started operating the #Iskander-M dual-capable missile systems.
On February 25, 2023, putin played an idiot linking his nuclear proliferation plans to armor-piercing rounds containing depleted uranium to be provided to Ukraine by the U.K.
Day 365 of #Russia's illegal war. A momentous day.

Yesterday, authorities acknowledged a decrease in pressure in both pipelines; first in NS2, later also in NS1. The 3(!) leakages are to be found in the East of Danish Bornholm (NS2), and also two leaks in the Northeast of the Island (NS1)
Two leaks are within the Danish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), one is in the Swedish EEZ. Sea depth in the region is around 50m.

The important thing to say is that President Putin is making his delayed (recorded) speech now about the future of the illegal war
Putin announced only a partial mobilisation, which is what I suspected.
So anyone who's on the reserve will be called up due to #Russia's shortage of cannon fodder.

The @EU_Commission decided to lift the sanctions that prevented #Russia from transiting to #Kaliningrad.
What the hell? And how about "sanctions will not be lifted until Russian troops completely leave #Ukraine"? Are these empty words?

Instead of increasing the sanctions, the West began to lift it.
Canada gave #Russia a gas turbine & promised to maintain turbines for 2 years, which would allow #Putin to earn billions. Now, the EU has lifted the ban on the transit of sanctioned goods to #Kaliningrad. Are you ok?

Dear Lithuanians, dear @GitanasNauseda & @IngridaSimonyte, I urge you to stand your ground & avoid the recommendations of the @EU_Commission.
Destroy the track on which the transit to #Kaliningrad goes, or close it for repairs for a year. This will be your best gift to #Ukraine

Dass auch Dünger eine gewaltige Explosion verursachen kann, war bsp. in Beirut zu beobachten.
