Heard in the news earlier today about some Russian soldiers had committed mutiny in Ukraine-Did not get where it was and how many soldiers who had committed mutiny.

Orsted/Denmark could be next.
Severla suthern nations pay in roubles, and even bragged about it. Italy, Greece amongst them. Its a clear violation of EU sanctions as specified. The EU does - nothing so far. And consequences are not being mulled, it seems. Could be that Russia waits for the next winter - and then cuts off the supply. The reserves in Europe then might be filled up more or less, but they do not last that long (2.5 months in case of Germany, and only when the winter is not especially cold, and Germany is amongst the better euqipped nations regarding gas reserve storage sites) and the EU will find it hard to replace these losses then with demand climbing and time running out. Next winter will become very interesting, also due to the energy policy in germany.

Reports in Kherson of Russians panicking and abandoning their positions, in some areas near the frontline. Ukraine's southern offensive in the Kherson region continues to show results and prove Russia's ill-disciplined forces don't like defending. Today, Russian troops withdrew from the village of Mykolaivka, which led to panic among other Russian units in the area. Ukraine's General Staff reports that they have seized Mykolaivka in Kherson oblast, which is located on the northern shore of Dnipro, 70 km | 43,496 mile East of Kherson. This would mean that the Ukrainian army has cut off the supply line to Kherson from Donbas.

The reason to why Denmark shut it down some years ago, was that gas was cheaper from Russia. Markus

Happy Danes!
You could sell not only gas, but also sell your candles. When I was a schoolboy, we once were on summer holiday in Denmark (island Mohn), and bought plenty of those beautifully huge candles. For some reason, Germans are crazy for these. So were we.

He is right. Imagine that Ukraine had joined US/NATO, would there have been a war between US/NATO ever in the future? 5 years from now, 10 years or 20 years from now? Where would that war be fought... in Russia. Putin is saying no, the war will be fought now and it will be fought on Ukraine territory. I don't think Russia is going to lose fighting a war on its own territory ever again, if Russia loses it's going to be in a nuclear war and who will survive to be the winner? Joe Biden, Lindsey Graham, Antony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Paul Wolfowitz...Boris Johnson?
If anyone wants a war with Russia or has a reason for war with Russia fine and good luck. (keeping in mind that the people in Washington D.C. are about the greediest and stupidest people on the planet.) The corporate media's hand in this is obvious as they have labeled it "Putin's War." and highlight every action by Russia in the last decade as evil and never acknowledge US actions that preceded them that were provocative or even illegal. The west has taken steps toward war for 30 years to get here before the world had ever heard the name, Putin. Washington wants a war with Russia (and China) because it wants to control the world, sell weapons, control oil resources, and refuses to accept not being the only superpower in the world (if I'm saying something that is obvious sorry). In 10 years Putin will be dead and when the war came 2032 would the media still be calling it "Putins War"? "Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union." - Paul Wolfowitz, The Wolfowitz Doctrine 1992 -Tim

I don't think letting oneself being blackmailed by Putin will lead to peace. Should better speak about the next russian leader. Maybe this Kadyrov tiktok poser, seems he's a real nice guy.

Not sufficient anchors in the Kremlin circles.

An agreement ha sbeen reached in Germany on that 100bn bonus budget for the Bundeswehr, and it has been watered down exactly as I feared and predicted. The money is no longer meant additional to a yearly 2% budget for defence, but it will be used only to boost the existing lower budget to 2%, and will be eaten up in 5 years. Also they implemented backdoors for escape routes away from those 2% every year. Zeitenwende...? Not for me, "turning points in history" look differently.
It has become known that industry and Bundeswehr both could deliver much more Marders than was indicated by pro-government circles - and many of them immediately, the industry has ijn parts readied them already. It is obvious that there is a clear prohibition by the chancellor. I would even question that even functional (loaded) Gepards and PZH2000 ever will be delivered. I believe it when I see it - and I not hold my breath for it any longer. Honestely said i think Bubble-Olaf is rightout lying to the German public, the Ukraine, and the international community. Deliberately, intentionally. He lies, plain and simpe. You dont really need enemies when you have "friends" like Germany. On the last summit it showed that Germany is fully isolated and attracts growing anger internationally. Needless to say, when there is talk of safety guarantors after the war, Germany cannot be one of these. It has neither the muscle nor the will to fill such guarantees with any life and value. Nor does it have the honesty. It only wants to benefit from the prestige posing as such a guarantor. It may do in money, but not in military. But money transfers and economic ties bring no securty form military attacks. For that you need weapons, and the willingness to fight. Time is playing for Putin's diplomatic calculation, the cracks in the EU's initial unity against Russia can no longer be denied, and they will widen with every week the war continues and summer passes by. Depüendencies form certain Russian exports will prevail for long time to come. Longer than they now are willing to admit in Brussels or Berlin. Oil. Nuclear fuel, ores, fertilizers. Also, while quite some wetsenr companies leave Russia, there are still many companies who still refuse to leave the Russian market. One also wonders what Macronman and Bubble-Olaf ware talking about with Putin for almost one and a half hour...? Yesterday I said a winner of all this is the USA. There seems to be another one, an emerging one, and that is Poland, whose reputation and influence especially in Easterneuropean countries is widening, it becomes the clear leading power of the Eastern countries and becomes more and more a pressing force in NATO as well. Germany, on the other hand, is loosing both prestige and influence, and tremendously and fast.

Are there really only morons, fantasists and idiots left in Russian politics? There must be, otherwise this war would not have been possible.
A senior Russian MP has proposed kidnapping a defense minister from a NATO state in Ukraine and bringing him to Moscow to question him about the "orders" the West is giving to Kiev. Oleg Morozov, who is a member of the dominant United Russia party, said the West's arms deliveries to Ukraine posed a direct threat to Russia and could force Moscow to rethink its military goals. "You know, maybe it's a fantastic plan I have that in the near future, at some point, a war minister of a NATO country will travel by train to Kiev to speak to Selensky," Morozov told the talk show "60 Minutes" on state television channel Rossia-1 late Monday. "But he would not arrive. And would wake up somewhere in Moscow Moscow," Morozov said. "You mean we would kidnap them?" TV host Olga Skabeyeva then asked. "Yes. And then we would find out who gave what order," Morozov said. "It's not such a mythical picture ... There are new rules in the world now. May all the war ministers who gather in Kiev think a little bit about that, think a little bit about what it would be like to wake up in Moscow." (NZZ) Said TV host Olga Skabeyeva recently shone with the announcement that one must set about "denazifying" not only Ukraine, but also "demilitarizing" all of NATO. Russians - watch less gangster movies, they do your mental health no good, apparently.

The head of the key eastern city of Severodonetsk says the front line has cut the city in half.
But Oleksandr Stryuk says Ukraine is holding out and still defending its positions there. The area's regional governor says the situation is grave after Russians entered the city. The entire region is under continuous bombardment, Serhiy Haidai says. Moscow now occupies almost all of the Luhansk region, which it recognised as independent before the invasion in February. European Union leaders are holding a second day of talks, having agreed on a plan to cut Russian oil imports yesterday. Russia has stopped supplying gas to the Netherlands after Dutch energy firm GasTerra refused to pay in roubles.
