“The militia groups Freedom of Russia Legion and Russian Volunteer Corps, which both back Kyiv against Moscow’s aggression, said on Tuesday they were “on the attack.”
In a video statement, an unnamed member of the Freedom of Russia Legion said, “We are not coming to kill, erase or punish...we come to liberate you from poverty.” [excerpt]
Please stop.

Why? Are you like Biden and want only your own opinion to be heard?
You can only poke the bear so many times before he turns all his rath on you, like the little kid on the block who torments the bigger kids because his big brother is just around the corner to take up for him. Then big brother goes off to college and now the little kid is all alone, no one to protect him but he still antagonizes the big kids. Guess what, they also know big brother is no longer around. You are finally going to get your ass kicked and when big brother comes back home, he’s going to tell ya it is time to grow up and fight your own battles.But big brother, let’s you and them fight, sorry kid time to stand on your own two feet.
Czech Defense Minister Jana Černohová believes that Europe is already in a state of conflict with Russia, which is waging a hybrid war against the EU.
“De facto, we are already living in a conflict... We are not talking about conventional warfare as in the last century, but we are already involved in some kind of conflict because of cyberattacks carried out by Russia,” Černohová said.
The minister noted that it is necessary to prepare for “any scenario,” but urged not to spread panic among the population about the immediate threat of war. At the same time, Černohová did not deny the conclusions of many politicians and experts that the allies have 3-5-7 years to bring their armies to combat readiness.
“Ukraine is buying us time with its own blood so that we can put our defense in order and not rely on others,” the defense minister said, noting that just over 2 years ago, few would have expected a brutal war to be fought so close to the Czech Republic’s borders.
No kidding. She’s nuts.

Occupied Ukraine forced to vote in Putin’s election

Moscow has launched a wide-ranging campaign telling residents of occupied parts of Ukraine to vote in Russia’s presidential election.
For the first time, the national vote is taking place over three days (15-17 March), but additional early voting has already begun in the occupied parts of four Ukrainian regions: Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk and Luhansk.
One resident complained of pro-Russian collaborators with ballot boxes going from house to house looking for voters accompanied by armed soldiers. [EXCERPT]
Vladimir Putin will certainly win another term of office, but a high turnout would help the Kremlin’s efforts to legitimise his continued rule.
It would also be used to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin is one of four candidates on the ballot, but none of the others poses a realistic challenge.
All of his most outspoken critics have either been forced into exile, jailed, or have died.
