If this video is true I’m not so sure a mass mobilization will be easy. However I think mobilization would certainly draw us closer to becoming directly involved.

“The other day, Yan set fire to the military registration and enlistment office in the city of Lukhovitsy, Moscow Region, and filmed it on gopro. He painted the gate in the colors of the Ukrainian flag and wrote: "I will not go to kill my brothers!" After which he climbed over the fence, doused the facade with gasoline, broke the windows and sent Molotov cocktails into them. The goal was to destroy the archive with the personal files of conscripts, it is located in this part. This should prevent mobilization in the district. I hope that I will not see my classmates in captivity or lists of the dead.
I think it needs to be expanded. Ukrainians will know that in Russia they are fighting for them, not everyone is afraid and not everyone is indifferent. Our protesters need to be inspired and act more decisively. And this should further break the spirit of the Russian army and government. Let these mother****ers know that their own people hate them and will extinguish them. The earth will soon begin to burn under their feet, hell awaits at home too.

"Ukraine claims that it has sunk a landing boat of the Serna class. Again: Ssnake Island. South of Odessa - that may be why."

So looks like this?

More like this:



One missile cruiser, one frigate, one landing boat, two patrol boats and one amphibious transport/landing boat.

Foreign Affairs
James Brooke: Russia’s Potemkin army to parade on Red Square
By James Brooke 7 hrs ago

https://www.berkshireeagle.com/opini...01230f658.html

Quote:
Last Tuesday, Craig Hooper, a U.S. national security writer, analyzed the advance guide for the parade. His story in Forbes is headlined: “Russian Victory Day Parade Cut By 35%, Emphasizing Ukraine’s Battlefield Prowess.”

Citing the lineup posted by the Russian Army’s Red Star news site, Hooper compares it to last year. The number of ground combat vehicles has been cut by one-third to 131, the number of infantry fighting vehicles has been cut in half and the number of late model tanks has been slashed.

After losing 10 Sukhoi fighter aircraft in Ukraine, these modern fighters will be absent from the parade. More than one-quarter of the aircraft will be Mig-29s, Soviet-era fighters developed almost half a century ago by the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Fifteen helicopters will fly in the parade, down one-third from last year. Ukraine’s military claims to have shot down 155 Russian helicopters in the first 10 weeks of the war.

“The May 9 military parade only highlights Russia’s massive losses in Ukraine and its crumbling industrial capabilities,” concluded Hooper. “Putin’s authority is backed by a Potemkin military — an apparently over-hyped and increasingly damaged force.”

Missing among formations marching through Red Square will be Russia’s elite National Guard, or Rosgvardiya. Reuters reports that the unit was decimated in the initial assault on Kyiv and later was involved in occupation atrocities in Bucha.

Indeed, undermining the bellicose rhetoric expected Monday, Moscow has lost more men and materiel in 10 weeks of war in Ukraine than in 10 years of war in Afghanistan.
Quote:
… With Russia’s conventional forces battered, one novelty in the sky over Red Square on Monday is to be Russia’s Il-80 “doomsday” aircraft. Converted from a Soviet-era Il-86 widebody passenger airliner, the Il-80 is meant to be used as an airborne command center for President Putin in the event of nuclear war. Absent from recent parades, the flyover of an Il-80 seems to be a warning to Western military attaches that, if conventional forces fare poorly on the ground, Russia could go nuclear.

All women, children and the elderly have been evacuated from Mariupol steelworks, Ukraine says.

The deputy prime minister said this part of the humanitarian operation was now complete.

Russia has besieged the plant for weeks, demanding the surrender of its defenders from the Azov battalion.

Ukraine is continuing a counter-offensive near the city of Kharkiv, and says it has recaptured five villages.

The US-based Institute for the Study of War says the Ukrainians could soon free Kharkiv from the threat of Russian artillery.

Russia has launched several missile strikes at the southern port city of Odesa.

In eastern Ukraine, heavy Russian shelling has continued along the front line.

There have also been missile strikes in the north, in Sumy and in the Kharkiv region.

I wonder whether the Genevay convention would allow it if we deliver the Ukrainians records with German Volksmusik? Or would Russia consider these as WMDs and retaliate with tactical nukes ?
