Zelenskyy lauds Ukraine advance amid counteroffensive speculation
Moscow said on Tuesday it had thwarted another major offensive by Ukraine in Donetsk, destroying military equipment and inflicting huge personnel losses, a statement that the powerful head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group dismissed as "absurd science fiction."

Bakhmut No Longer Under Russian Control, Prigozhin Says
Days after forces from Russia's Wagner Group withdrew from Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, its chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said the city is no longer under Russian control, and that troops under the leadership of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov are fleeing.

I am grateful to each of our warriors, to all our defenders who gave us the news we expect. Bakhmut direction – well done, warriors!
We see how hysterically Russia perceives every step we take there, every position we take. The enemy knows that Ukraine will win. They see it. They feel it thanks to your strikes, soldiers, and in particular in Donetsk region. Thank you for that!

This is the prevailing current mood among Russian "bloggers" and "war correspondents":
"I’m sitting in f**king shock, the situation in the country is fucked up, they’re only destabilizing it further, the situation in Belgorod region is getting worse, the Ministry of Defense almost entered into an open confrontation with Wagner, Wagner had a confrontation with Akhmat [Kadyrov's forces], etc.

#Germany proposes support for companies reeling from high #energy prices if they use it to #decarbonise.
"Firms emitting 10 kilotonnes of CO2 or more a year would be eligible for the auction process, effectively opening it up for the thousands of mid-sized companies active in Europe's top economy."
Also as a counterweight to the US #InflationReductionAct. That sound you hear is of the rachet mechansim, ratcheting.

My fucking GP’s office called for an appointment with my doctor re rheumatology. When I repeatedly asked what for exactly, she eventually put the doctor on the phone who said “rheumatology didn’t accept you and recommended an inpatient referral”. When I asked why and what for, he said that’s what the appointment is for, so he can show me the letter.
Like… what the fuck? First of all, why an inpatient stay? It’s absurd! Rheumatology clinics don’t have time but hospitals can take you overnight for the same fucking tests?
That’s a joke, right? Make it make sense! And besides that, you’re going to make me come to the damn surgery, wait for fuck knows how long (never under an hour!), just so you can show me a letter that you could a) forward to me or b) tell me about on the phone? Where is the logic in this German system?
Also, I fucking hate this doctor so much, even talking on the phone with him set me on edge, I do not want to go see this transphobic arse on Monday morning. Urgh. I am NOT going on an inpatient stay. HELL NO!
If anyone understands and can explain this absurd system in this country to me, please do. Functioning healthcare, my arse…

According to a Russian news media outlet
"Putin has stopped receiving bad news reports, especially about the war, because of his "extremely irritated" reaction to those reports."
The source says that at this point Putin simply stopped receiving "bad news" because the president does not want to hear it."

Okay, so how does one activate theor eiD in #germany ? I've tried calling 115, they directed me to the Bürgeramt, who couldn't do it because I'm an immigrant. I emailed LEA after finding information saying to "contact" them on their website, they've said they cannot book appointments for it.
I'm confused, how does one get it activated then??
