Yes they really said that and yes people like Zeo use them as a trusted source. | ||

Yes they really said that and yes people like Zeo use them as a trusted source. It is Russian high-tech high-energy coal. | ||

There was a recent corpse exchange and Russia traded 5million dead people for just 10 Russians. Clearly Russia's winrate is over 9000. #thread | ||

He must be really confused, considering that his usual sources of information (Russian propaganda) are far more pessimistic than pro-Ukrainian sources are optimistic. ;-) | ||

Like a new update on numbers when it comes to body exchange. And this refinery in Moscow just caught fire on its own, most likely from a cigarette butt thrown somewhere by careless worker. | ||

Good for them to feel a fraction of what Ukrainians have been living through for the past 4 years. | ||

But with how unpopular that is and how it won’t solve their inability to deal with drones and logistics, and how unpopular it is that might push for them to get rid of Putin. But then you have the whole devil you know vs devil you don’t discussion. Hard to know if there is a “better” person in line to make Russia a contributing member of the world. | ||

Good for them to feel a fraction of what Ukrainians have been living through for the past 4 years. This post made me curious so I used google and found this: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2026/06/19/this-is-our-payback-meduza-readers-in-moscow-respond-to-ukraine-s-largest-drone-attack-of-the-war I am aware Meduza's readers are a bit different than the average Russian person, but it's still an interesting source. Some examples: Natalya I saw the building where my friend lives get hit. I watched a drone fly over my building, watched an air-defense missile streak by… But you know what? There isn’t a drop of hatred for Ukrainians in my heart. And at the same time, trading anxious words with my neighbors, two times out of ten I hear something like: “Just bomb them all in Kyiv and be done with it!” And that’s when I run up against the hard reality: here he is, a flesh-and-blood person living right next to me, and he holds that opinion. Not some abstract crackpot firing off Z-comments online — no! This person is right here next to me, and he sees no real reason why tonight and this morning all of us, terrified, were waiting for the raid to end. And I realize, with pain, that any attempt to explain to him that Russian forces need to stop the bloodshed will at best get me showered with insults, and at worst earn me a few very “interesting” nights down at a police station somewhere. Anton I saw the aftermath. My attitude toward the war hasn’t changed. I don’t approve of the war, and I’m waiting for it to end. To me, the war is like a natural disaster. I’m glad there’s no oil refinery or other dangerous facility near my home. Irina It was only a matter of time before the refinery got hit. Everyone with any sense knew it and felt it, especially after the first strike in 2023. The booms were loud, the sky black and blue. What’s next — black rain? My attitude toward the war is only hardening into intense hatred of what’s happening, of how everything is being taken away from people. Instead of space, new technology, and breakthroughs in medicine, we’ve got gas at nearly 100 [rubles], rising prices, constant fear for ourselves and our loved ones, and no visible future. What can you plan in today’s reality? Yuri There’s a feeling of schadenfreude that the vatniks and the apolitical types are going to get it good and hard, but I’m right there next to them — so I’ll have to get a taste of it too. And most likely they still won’t understand that Putin is to blame for everything, and they’ll keep demanding that Ukraine be wiped off the map. The reasonable people already get what’s going on, and the dumb ones will just get angrier. Marina My apartment windows look straight out at the Moscow oil refinery. It was scary, of course, but my feelings are mixed. On the one hand, I feel bad for the environment, for jobs, for people, and so on; on the other, there’s a sense that we fully deserved this. I never hated Ukrainians, and I still don’t. Ilya My attitude toward the war hasn’t changed — we were against it from the start. Only my anger at those very “two Vladimirs” [Putin and Zelensky] has naturally hardened into rage. The moment any kind of revolt flares up, the moment there’s the tiniest chance to do something, I’ll be there. Alina After what I saw, I want to blow up every factory in Ukraine. Dementy I don’t have an opinion, I have exhaustion. Sergei And it wasn’t even the drone itself that struck me. What struck me was the feeling that a backdrop built over many years was vanishing before my eyes. Because it’s one thing to have parades, flyovers, solemn speeches, and TV pictures. And it’s another thing entirely to have a reality that can’t be edited, voiced over in the right tone, or shown from the right angle. | ||

Mobilization is likely to backfire, but this seems to be what they're doing. There's footage from a bunch of cities where they started rounding up people. At the same time, Putin has elections to deal with in September. They've been trying to delay any mobilization until then. | ||
