    Top Russian Military Official Dead After Fall From 16th Floor

    https://archive.is/1IhkP

    A Russian military official in charge of financial provisions for the military district blamed for the Kremlin’s worst losses in Ukraine has been found dead after a nasty fall from a St. Petersburg high-rise.

    Marina Yankina, head of the department of financial provisions for the Western Military District, was found dead on a sidewalk on Wednesday morning, according to multiple local reports. She is just the latest in a growing list of Russian military officials, defense industry figures, war critics, and gas and oil execs to die suddenly and mysteriously since the start of the full-scale invasion last year.

    The 58-year-old’s belongings and documents were found on a balcony on the 16th floor of the building, Mash reports.

    Russia’s Investigative Committee is looking into the circumstances of the deadly plunge, with their preliminary conclusion being suicide, according to Fontanka.

    The Western Military District has incurred some of the heaviest losses in Russia’s war against Ukraine—and been blamed for a string of humiliating battlefield losses.

    "Each region is supposed to mobilise 1% of its total reserve, but according to Verstka up to 3-4% are to be mobilised in some regions. A Kremlin source quoted by Verstka says, "It depends on which region – protest or non-protest.""

    ""In non-protest regions, for example, in the Caucasus, they can take more.""

    Speaking with CNN’s Michael Smerconish (who notes that he’s a fan of Waters’ music, but disagrees with him on some of his political viewpoints), Waters was asked why he considers Biden to be a fit for the inflammatory slideshow.

    “Well, he’s fuelling the fire in the Ukraine, for a start – that is a huge crime,” the artist answered, rhetorically posing to Smerconish: “Why won’t the United States of America encourage [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, the [Ukrainian] president, to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war that’s killing... We don’t know how many Russians.”

    I (obviously) have zero trust in Russian state-controlled mainstream media. Russia is a de facto dictatorship, punishing its own people with up to 15 years of prison, for using the word "war" instead of the state-approved "special military operation".

    I (generally) trust western mainstream media. But even so, the west (and Ukraine) has its own reasons for using tactical misinformation. When i hear optimistic news about Russia failing, I tend to take it with more than a grain of salt.

    How do you navigate? What's your preferred news source(s)?

    • Agreed 100% with you. Unfortunately, I still more or less rely on sources like The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, WaPo, and NYT ...Continuity
    • ... simply because I trust non-MSM even less.Continuity
    • The DW interview I just posted above with a Russian investigative journalist is pretty good....seems objective.yuekit
    • That said, I think that western non-Fox MSM has done a pretty good job. Is the reporting accurate? I think largely yes.Continuity
    • @yuekit, interview like the DW one you posted are precisely why I think western media is largely on-point. The Guardian and the NYT have done similar piecesContinuity
    • ... in the last few weeks.Continuity
    • The cheerleading for Ukraine can get carried away in some cases but I don't think the overall picture painted by the Western media is false.yuekit
    • The one thing I have been doing at all costs, though, is avoiding social media on this subject. No FB, no IG, nothing.Continuity
    • it's an incredible thing to have a choice.sted
