Perhaps the other thread -- begun as "1 posted on 12/3/2025, 3:44:41 AM by AdmSmith -- and now accumulated into over 4 thousand comments, does not satisfy? Your last comment to that thread precedes this by little more than one hour.

One observes that this Telegram channel -- Kremilin Secrets -- publishes in Russian, when one clicks on the link. My broswer makes a machien translation of it and many non-English pages. The Telegram HQ is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
A visit to the channel is recommended to Freepers, to experiences firsthand what is there. A visit is also recommended to Freepers to visit AdmSmith's FR "In Forum" to experience his ( or her ) singular focus on the Ukraine-Russia war.
What is consistent with this Telegram channel's current comment is "...said a source close to...." Rather like our major media's "according to unnamed sources" and "speaking on condition of anonymity" and the like. Anonymous sources are always "the best."
I would say at least 95% of FReepers, as I was, were unaware of that thread beyond its 1st week or so of life. I assume the OP is aware of that.
As for the rest, obviously, un-named sources are never to be trusted.
Who the heck has such a useless life that they have time to go hunting down many months’ old threads buried in someone’s posting history?
I suggest the cover of Uriah Heep’s 3rd album. Seriously.
Draft call up for cónvicts is SOP for Russia, they empty the prison s and get use from them ie they fight and die for Russia.
