Ukraine managed to evacuate some people from Russia occupied Oleshky - it was a risky and dangerous operation for all.
Mrs Natalia, one of the rescued people, says she felt enormous relief when she saw "our guys". It's hard to even imagine what these people have been through.

#War planes are flying, but they're shot down. Tanks rush to attack, but they're knocked out. Soldiers are raised to attack, but they're killed. This's what Ukrainians say about #Russian invaders. This's how #Russia broadcast about heroic defenders of #Ukraine. But at the same time, buildings are collapsing and civilians of Ukraine are dying. Battlefields are littered with mountains of corpses and burned-out military equipment. Lies and #propaganda... And the world is heading towards the abyss.
#quote | «Putin never really had Plan B for this invasion, so now he is stuck with the bad choices made so far. Knowing his modus operandi, he is likely to double down on the bad choices rather than to look for an exit. This is why I am pessimistic that even a successful offensive can end the war soon».

reintroduction time, been here for a while
I am Anshu or andysha, adult boy (just not vibing with Man label), finishing with living, schooling and working in Far Eastern region of Russia
I am somewhere on aro and ace spectrum, just need to figure it out. for now I think it's demiromantic and either aegosexual or aceflux
there is also some neurodivergency to figure out. "they call me an AAA battery"
my fursona is a very fluffy/plushy feral fox, how daring!
my life mostly revolves around tech, software side of it, knowing some C#, Python, JS, and able to do wacky stuff in (or at least know how to search the internet about) Windows, Linux and Android. haven't made anything notable though
my native language is Russian (duh), the level of English knowledge is pretty good, and I've also been trying to learn German, you can track the Duolingo progress on https://duome.eu/andysha3 , but with my situation changing, the motivation and energy has dwindled. won't mind someone kicking me to learn it more
the music is on all the time, I am mostly listening to various "not boring" electronic music, loving bunch of Halley Labs aliases, Kettel, Benn Jordan, chiptune, breakcore, ambient, but also some post-rock, whichever enhances my mood at the moment. I want to make music too, but it doesn't turn out well yet, and I don't have enough time to poke arts around
out of that stems the love to various rhythm games. I mostly play osu!taiko or Clone Hero, with online ranks exposed at https://osu.ppy.sh/users/6865426/taiko (but might be inaccurate because I play on lazer most of the time) and https://clonehero.scorespy.online/users/andysha , not half bad at playing taiko and mediocre at plastic guitar. other games I play are either something calm story driven, or sandboxes, with OneShot being the favorite (I have a Niko plush)
I am an endogenic system host, with other members being a sweet avali @Eija and big gryph Onyx. when the life gets better here, we would work on schedule to get everyone time to do things they want. Eija's profile might look abandoned, but vi can be contacted at any time
I am not sure myself what should one expect from my profile. take a look I guess
I can also be contacted at any time, private message here, on Telegram or Discord are preferred, but I will get to one eventually on Matrix or email mail@andysha.me

#Ukraine intell: Intercepted phone call confirms that #Russian forces set off explosives to destroy #NovaKakhovka Dam and cause widespread flooding through #Kherson
"Our guys did it. It’s not them, it’s ours. Our saboteur group is there. They wanted to cause fear with this dam"
"The question remains whether Prigozhin is controlled by the Kremlin, or is a loose cannon posing a serious threat to the regime."
The former, surely, else by now he'd have suffered one of those unfortunate fits of clumsiness at an upper-floor window so common in Russia.
The article's broader point is that the #Russian state may be destroying itself, just as its armed forces are obligingly destroying themselves by smashing repeatedly against the rock that is #Ukraine.

Yesterday's drone attack on Moscow:
Several drones fell in the region of Rublevka - it's an area where the richest and most influential Russians reside.
Russian social networks were very excited and happy by this. Russians thought this was a good thing, which infuriated Rublevka residents.
Is it possible that Rublevka, not the Kremlin is the most promising target for the unidentified persons who launch these drone attacks?

I have quite a few new followers, which I would like to vet fairly, i.e. first-in, first-vetted.
However, of the 3 #Android apps I use # the PC browser version, none seems to be able to either (better) filter the Followers for people I do NOT yet follow back, or at least show them in reverse chronological order (which would also be important to eliminate inactive accounts, e.g. #MAGA and #Russian #SleeperCells .
