Well when you have 2 massive countries with centuries of living peacefully together and millions ,literally, of social ,cultural and familial connections I'm sure you can work it out. People speak to family by whatever means they can.

These Turkish drones - are they the cutting edge, then?
As in, they have a reputation now that is akin to the Gatling gun of old, or some other revolutionary thing, but do they have an edge that no one else has now?
Asking given how decisive they were in Armenia-Azerbaijan and how devastatingly effective they seem to still be now, even when up against a sophisticated adversary.
Are we missing perhaps that Turkey has an edge on pretty much everyone else right now?
Would explain Erdogan’s general bullishness.

Not quite the point though is it? We're told that Putin controls the media and information flows and that the people of Russia don't actually know what's going on. However, somehow the information that thousands of Russian troops are dying is getting through to Russians in Russia when it's not even being reported here.

He isnt going to use a tactical nuke on Ukraine just because some people believed shit about the war being won in 5 minutes.
Here is information about an analysts article from weeks before the war began, where he picked apart the silly myths that some within Russia were spouting about how easily and quickly the war could be won.

Mass Fire Strike on Ukraine
In NVO, Mikhail Khodarenok has written about how a possible Russian Army campaign in Ukraine won’t be any cake walk. Here’s a translation.

Ukraine claimed 4,000 Russian casualties as I recall. It may be totally wrong of course, but that's not really the point.

Why on earth would you think that Putin, sat at his end of the mad long table, would have the same understanding of things as that analyst "who says what the Kremlin doesn’t want to hear"?He isnt going to use a tactical nuke on Ukraine just because some people believed shit about the war being won in 5 minutes.

You can't predict Putins actions from some piece of writing by a man who says 'Armed conflict with Ukraine now fundamentally doesn’t meet Russia’s national interests'.

Well there's obviously a Ukranian Yorkshireman over there with carrier pigeons .
Anyway sorry, her message upset me as I know her parents quite well.
Yep - these things basically decided the Armenia-Azerbaijan war. It would seem that, until you have an answer to this sort of drone, your logistics are vulnerable in a way that they never have been before. Armoured support and artillery also extremely vulnerable. It seems to be a genuine breakthrough in air power.

Just not possible in the modern world. I know very little about the situation in Russia, but I'd imagine anyone even vaguely online got themselves a VPN a long time ago. Obviously does depend on your definition of 'ordinary Russians'.

Oh FIFA, you bellends.

They can't play as Russia, they have to call themselves the "Russian Footballing Union". They play at neutral venues, with no national anthem.
That's it.
Read the fucking room you idiots.
Czechs, Sweden, England, Poland have all said they won't play them. They are due to play a world Cup playoff soon.
Bureau of the FIFA Council takes initial measures with regard to war in Ukraine
First and foremost, FIFA would like to reiterate its condemnation of the use of force by Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. Violence is never a solution and FIFA expresses its deepest solidarity to all people affected by what is happening in Ukraine.
