Can we just stop the Americans from accessing this thread? I know they're trolling but it's ludicrously stupid and I don't know why the Europeans are taking the obvious bait
Russians destroyed their own 4g services so their secure communications network is no longer online so they're using Ukraining sim cards to communicated lmao Putin is a mastermind btw Russia strong btw Russia is winning btw
Russian Officer Complains About Dead General and Comms Meltdown in Intercepted Call
The Ukrainian defense ministry has released audio from a call that it claims captured two Russian officers lamenting the death of a top general and the collapse of its secure communications network in Ukraine.
In the call—which has been verified by Bellingcat, the fact-checking group known for exposing Kremlin misinformation—two purported Russian FSB officers are heard discussing the death of a general killed in fighting near Kharkiv, which has been hammered by shelling this month.
Ukraine’s defense ministry named the general as Vitaly Gerasimov, chief of staff of the 41st Army, and Bellingcat reported that it had confirmed the death with Russian sources. In its statement, Ukraine’s defense intelligence agency said Gerasimov had been “liquidated” alongside “a number of senior Russian army officers” in fighting near Kharkiv.
If Gerasimov’s death is confirmed, he would be the second Russian general to be killed in Ukraine within a week following the death of the 41st Army’s deputy commander, Andrei Sukhovetsky. A pro-Putin Chechnyan general, Magomed Tushayev, was also reported to have been killed.
Russia’s failure to protect its top-ranking officers backs up reports from Ukraine that the Kremlin’s invasion force is in disarray. On the call released by the Ukrainian defense ministry, one FSB officer can be heard complaining that its encrypted comms system had been destroyed, allowing Ukrainian forces to listen in on Russian military orders.
Bellingcat’s executive director, Christo Grozev, wrote, “In the phone call in which the FSB officer assigned to the 41st Army reports the death to his boss in Tula, he says they’ve lost all secure communications. Thus the phone call using a local sim card. Thus the intercept.”
Grozev went on: “His boss, who makes a looong pause when he hears the news of Gerassimov’s death (before swearing), is Dmitry Shevchenko, a senior FSB officer from Tula. We identified him by searching for his phone (published by Ukrainian military Intel) in open source lookup apps... In the call, you hear the Ukraine-based FSB officer ask his boss if he can talk via the secure Era system. The boss says Era is not working.”
Grozen reported that Russia’s crypto phones may no longer work in Kharkiv because Russian forces had destroyed surrounding cell phone towers, and Russia’s encrypted comms system operates using 3G or 4G.
The statement released by Ukraine’s military intelligence agency alluded to severe communications problems among Russian forces, saying, “The data obtained also indicate significant problems with communication in the occupier’s army and with the evacuation of their broken units.”
Russia has not commented on reports of Gerasimov’s death.

Look at this lol. Does anyone not look at this and think Putin is that actual leader in this picture and Zelensky is a dweeb that wants people on the internet to like him? Anyone that thinks the fake post card food display picture isn't a mark of weakness has never lead a group of men bruh lol. Damn. Zelensky needs Vitamin B12 bruh. THEN look a the nutrient poor fool that posting the tweet. These people need to shut up, they're actually making it worst for Ukraine. He's literally smiling. Dude has 0 heart lol. I remember when you'd play youth sports and you'd always have that one BICCH BOI that would smile in the team picture when you guys were trying to look like warriors. That's Zelensky
I remember when this all started someone posted a Ukrainian video of a soldier crying to his mom and telling her he loved her (lol what a loser). Hound is here talking about how Russian troops can't get on wucorp. Why would you use the American military ass internet in a war against an American puppet?
The balls on this man to be out in the streets of Kyiv without a care in the world for his safety

While Putin sits in a secret underground bunker in Russia and cries about protests lol https://www.reuters.com/world/russia...es-2022-02-28/
Lol is that a Patagonia fleece pullover? You sure he didn’t spend the weekend at some alps ski resort in Switzerland? Look at that fresh cut and manicured “scruff”.
Guys fresh out the barber chair.
Taking selfies for his new following whike kiev gets shelled.
He’s definitely learned from American politicians I’ll give him that. He’ll probably replace John Oliver when this is all done.
Imagine counting on your government to keep things together in a war and the president is taking picture like a fucking thot on IG so that the countries that abandoned you will think he's cool lol. What a fucking loser. Ok lets say he's brave and cool like a brave and cool person because he's walking around on the street. Who is in charge? Wouldn't his physical presence be of more use applied to administering? Is the most powerful possible thing he can do shooting a gun right now?
This shit isn't leadership. this is that incompetent manager that makes stupid tik tok videos that you have to watch at the end of a presentation about a dumb ass new policy he saw on Linkedin that mixes buddism and incompetence.
Unless it's 'fake news' look at what the president of France just posted. This is supposed to be 'after talking to putin'

what a fucking loser LOL. what is this? What is this eventually supposed to do? Can the Europeans explain because maybe it's a cultural thing. Why would you get off the phone with Putin, who's on Emperor mode
and start taking 5k pictures of you panting and wheezing. What's the message? 'This guy is just soooo STUBBORN' lol? You're going to abandon a country (which I don't blame you because it's a joke) then that posting pictures of you being very overwhelmed.
Now I know why everyone tries to end France once they get some juice lol. What?
Europeans. Does this look stupid to you too? Like you just in your office powerless and overwhelmed and someone is just fluttering around you taking pictures to post on IG for you of these difficult emotional situation? So that we can feel how you feel? This is what I'm talking about. Find one picture of Putin seeming mildly like he's not in control of himself.
It was in response to Russia saying he had fled to Poland: https://news.abplive.com/news/world/...n-kyiv-1517120 More Russian Ls
Speaking of Russian Ls, they're about to become the newest Venezuela: https://fortune.com/2022/03/08/morga...ril-venezuela/

[Russia is also the third-largest oil producer in the world, responsible for roughly 10% of the global output. And the U.S. is the largest consumer of oil. So is the U.S. as dependent on Russia for oil as Europe is for gas? Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration tracks where the U.S. imports from the most.
Of the 7.86 million barrels per day the U.S. imported in 2020, the majority came from its North American neighbors: Canada, with 4.13 million barrels (52.5%), and Mexico, with 750,000 (9.6%). But imports coming from outside North America are significant. Russia, with 540,000 barrels a day (6.6%), was the top non-continental contributor. Roughly 11% of the imports came collectively from OPEC countries, including 520,000 from Saudi Arabia.

*Fitch cuts Russia's rating further into junk, says debt default imminent
(Reuters) -Fitch on Tuesday downgraded Russia's sovereign rating by six notches further into the junk territory to 'C' from 'B', saying a default is imminent as sanctions and trade restrictions have undermined its willingness to service debt.
The country's financial markets have been thrown into a turmoil by Western sanctions after it invaded Ukraine, raising significant concerns over its ability and willingness to service debt.
The rating firm pointed to Presidential decree, which could potentially force a redenomination of foreign-currency sovereign debt payments into local currency for creditors in specified countries.
"*Further ratcheting up of sanctions and proposals that could limit trade in energy increase probability of a policy response by Russia that includes at least selective non-payment of its sovereign debt obligations," the ratings agency said in a statement.
On March 16, Russia is due to pay $107 million in coupons across two bonds, though it has a 30-day grace period to make the payments.
The 'C' rating in Fitch's assessment is only one step above default, bringing it in line with the Moody's current equivalent score of 'Ca'.
The change comes less than a week after Fitch revoked Russia's investment-grade status, slashing its rating to "B" from "BBB". Peers Moody's and S&P had also lowered their sovereign ratings.
