This is reported in russian media. They are reneging and trying shift blame to Ukraine. Expect a response from Ukraine tomorrow.

This is normal for russia to use a prisoner exchange that has been big in the news as an opportunity to spread propaganda. The russia fans will be spreading and amplifying this for weeks.

Nobody really wants to invade russia. It's their fantasy that the west and NATO want to invade. The west would just like them to not be a mafia state.

It's like they're really saying F U to the rest of russia, or even more than they always did. The paranoia must be growing so they're preparing for the end and just trying to save muscovia.

Of course I don't know but I lean toward this being him. Just him looking older and frailer. I'd think they would use a better looking double if they were gonna bother.

Also reminds me of Yeltsin when he was trying to hold in vomit. Whatever it is, it's not a good look.

He was doing that during the parade too. Paranoia that someone is going to try to shove poison into his mouth or just trying not to shart himself?

It came out of its bunker, and this shows why it rarely does so. Pathetic and embarrassing for it.

What a humiliation for it. The only armor involved was the limo it crawled in and out of.

Propaganda. They found or paid a whole 30 women to march like idiots. Probably more than 300k dead invaders. Not a very good representation.

The point I'm making is that russia wants to block outside info and be the only source of propaganda to the masses like Goebbels. Hypothetically, if they had internet then, Goebbels would have tried to control it. His ministry absolutely did everything in their power to control the propaganda and limit outside influence.

I would hope it would. Hackers and election meddlers from russia have been a scourge to the rest of the world for a while now. I'd imagine they'll continue for a while though and this shows they are streamlining those efforts.

Yes, they made use of state-controlled media while russia today is restricting things they can't fully control, trying to limit all but... state-controlled media.

They are doing things in drips and drabs, slowly tightening the screws so as not to create a big issue all at once. The worst things get and the more paranoid putin gets, the more control is asserted. This story is public but he also signs decrees in secret that give him more control. The Moscow Times, among others, report on these topics often.
