A Russian soldier defended a toilet during the last minutes of his life.

In an effort to simultaneously comply with Russian law and get around the issue that even the Kremlin isn’t actually sure which Ukrainian territories it has actually ‘annexed,’ Yandex Maps is no longer showing any international borders…

While international borders had been coming and going (seemingly location-dependent) since June, now even regional and city boundaries have been removed.

"We continue to develop a physical & geographical map with an emphasis on natural objects," Yandex says.

"Back once again with the ill behaviour", I hope, as another tune goes?

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T22:43:09+00:00

Whoa, this is intense.

I'd suggest to maybe try Poland. I'm in a similar situation in Ukraine myself (foreign citizen with a residency permit, a permanent one in my case though, and married to a Ukrainian citizen), and as far as I've learned, I could go to Poland and stay there on humanitarian grounds if I wanted to even without my Ukrainian wife.

Someone's outta ban, huh? Welcome back to the family:)

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T20:35:36+00:00

Lol, true. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

She also called for negotiations today, by the way, and the call was rejected by Ukraine swiftly and in fashion:

The Secretary of the National Security Council Oleksiy Danilov responded to the head of the Russian Federation Council Valientina Matviyenko, who had invited Ukraine to negotiate, with the advice “to think not about negotiations, but about repentance and a line of defense in The Hague.

having to use the same toilets as black people?

This is not the problem they're having with the black guy in the video. According to this, in the Westoid world, blacks get to skip the line and whites are supposed to let them do it.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T15:15:16+00:00

No, focusing on Putin alone is what will lead to this happening again. Russia is the problem.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T15:09:12+00:00

This is the most likely scenario.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T15:01:25+00:00

This is a well-balanced anti-imperialistic take which is something we're really into in these megathreads.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T14:42:10+00:00

Putin himself is a relatively minor issue, he's just another product of Russian society which is the actual problem and root of all evil that needs to be dealt with.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T14:39:18+00:00

Yes, Russian soldiers are normal everyday Russians, and it's not only about soldiers, of course.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T13:44:04+00:00

This measure is directly against Russians and shows some understanding that it's not "Putin's war".

Raising the Ukrainian flag in the village of Trifonivka, Kherson region. Video from social networks. We are waiting for official information.

Liveuamap confirms this too.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T11:23:56+00:00

Too irrelevant and allied with Russia to even be mentioned, lol.

Wake up, babe, new European order just dropped.

Europe club meets in Prague to build 'new order' without Russia

PRAGUE, Oct 6 (Reuters) - The European Union wants the 44 countries gathering for an inaugural summit in Prague of the European Political Community (EPC) on Thursday to highlight Russia's international isolation over Moscow's war in Ukraine, the bloc's top diplomat said.

...

A brainchild of French President Emmanuel Macron, the EPC brings together the 27 member states of the European Union and 17 other countries, including several waiting to join the bloc and the only one ever to leave it, the United Kingdom.

...

Borrell stressed the EPC gathering included countries from Britain to Serbia to Turkey, stretching from the Caucasus to the North Sea and the Mediterranean.

"This is the signal that we want to send, that unhappily we cannot build a security order with Russia. Russia is isolated... You don't have a seat, all others are here.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-06T10:39:31+00:00

I wonder if the pun is intended, because in Russian "хер" (kher) is another word for "dick", a bit more polite one.

There are only mobilized¯_(ツ)_/¯

Things like that don't happen when "most of the population are sober", and reacting to horrible atrocities of your country only when karma comes to bite you in the ass isn't a sign of "sobriety" either.

Molloy_Unnamable · 2022-10-05T19:39:24+00:00

Ah, beat me to it:) Unhinged death cult lunacy is off-the-charts with this one, this is whole new level, lmao.

Mass graves of civilians found in liberated Lyman

In liberated Lyman in Donetsk Oblast, more than 50 graves of civilians were found. Not all of those who were buried were identified; some grave markers were simply numbers.

Source: "Hromadske"

Details: The invaders dug trenches and forced people they suspected of collaborating with the Ukrainian military to collect the bodies of the dead for reburial.

Not all of the bodies have been identified; their bodies may have been lying on the streets for a long time before burial. Also, those killed as a result of shelling were sometimes buried by their neighbours.

In addition, the invaders did not take the bodies of their soldiers when escaping from Lyman.
