It's looking a lot like Genghis Khan's Golden Horde is conducting a second grand tour of Ukraine. Quite literally, given that Buryats are supposedly well-represented in the invasion force.

Of course, Putin's right hand man, Sergey Shoigu, is half-Mongol (Tuvan). Shoigu's dad and brood, when Sergey was a mere tyke:

Could be why many soldiers don’t really want to fight. Low morale and motivation.

Possibly part of the Twitter wars, possibly real:

Russia is preparing to block Russians from leaving occupied Crimea

According to 🇺🇦 Intel, 🇷🇺 Nat’l Guard prepares to block Kerch bridge, ferry & air connection

Since 24 Feb, panic is rising in Crimea, 🇷🇺 military, occupation administrations try to leave

❗ Putin is preparing to block the departure of Russians from the occupied Crimea

▪️Information on the preparation of the blockade by the Rosguard forces to block traffic on the Crimean bridge towards the Russian Federation has been confirmed. The occupation authorities will also restrict the movement of the Parma crossing and air connections of the peninsula with Russia.

▪️The formal reason for such actions is the fight against Ukrainian saboteurs and the prevention of possible “terrorist attacks”.

▪️Thus, Putin’s government is trying to respond to the panic among Russian citizens who illegally moved to the Ukrainian Crimea after February 2014. The occupiers are trying to stop the flow of refugees from the peninsula. In recent weeks, following the Russian military invasion of Ukraine in February, there has been a trend towards the outflow of Russian citizens from Crimea. At the same time, in the first ranks of the “fugitives” - members of the families of Russian officers, law enforcement officers and representatives of the occupation administration of Sevastopol. They urgently sell real estate, change the registration of residence, remove business and assets from the peninsula.

▪️Restricting the possibility of leaving the Crimea, Putin is actually holding hostage 600,000 Russian citizens who are currently illegally on the peninsula and are beginning to understand the uncertainty of their legal status. ]

Putin doesn’t care about the dead “Russians” because they are from “inferior” races.

This is bound to confuse our media, who think all Russians look like Ivan Drago.
