Ukraine

It's rare to get any real news out of Russia these days, but news critical of the regime... 😚👌

It's great to support Ukrainian outlets, but I wanted to go the extra mile - here's the source they're citing (their wikipedia page):

As ordinary Russians continue to bear the domestic brunt of Putin’s war, the Kremlin and the security services staged this PR stunt to convince the public that Putin, too, is making sacrifices for the country, four current and former Russian officials told The Moscow Times.

All of these sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details related to Putin’s security.

With Ukrainian drone strikes, unprecedented flight cancellations at Russian airports and mobile internet outages becoming more frequent since May 9’s Victory Day celebrations, a display of Putin’s readiness to “personally risk his life” while performing his official duties could temper public dissatisfaction.

Ah, it sounds like heavenly bells when it's only Russia's oppression machinery grinding with sand.
