Russians finally begin to understand that there's nothing they can do to prevent Ukraine from regaining the 1991 borders of their country, and that no real negotiations will begin until that time.

A popular Russian blogger further laments that "the chance to escape the war will not appear until society reaches the point of understanding the inevitability of a complete withdrawal from Ukrainian territory and comes to terms with this reality".

91 if they are lucky. Russia could implode

BREAKING: Operators of the 1st Separate Center of the USF struck and set ablaze the Russian Baltic Fleet corvette Project 20380 Steregushchiy-class corvette Boykiy while it was undergoing repairs in a dry dock at Kronstadt near St. Petersburg.

Particularly notable is that the strike was carried out using guided strike drones controlled in real time 900 km from Ukraine.

The Irish government’s agreement to supply Russia with vast quantities of alumina is even more concerning than it first appears :

Australia banned the export of alumina to Russia, citing its critical role in the Kremlin's war machine. Meanwhile, Ireland’s exports of alumina to Russia have skyrocketed since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, now providing 99% of all alumina from the EU.

Ireland also approves approx 95% of all Russian visa applications - an extremely high percentage.

Ireland's Russian embassy in Dublin is widely viewed by security sources as a hub for Russian intelligence (GRU/SVR) and influence operations in Western Europe. It has an unusually large staff relative to bilateral ties, and Ireland's neutrality, location (back door to the UK), and open society make it attractive for hybrid activities
