Going to quote former US Ambassador to Russia again, Michael McFaul....He says for those people the continue to demand No-Fly zone over Ukraine, to request Declaration of War against Russia. What part of No do these people not understand? I wish Ukraine would STFU about No Fly Zone demands every single day. Nope
The General Prosecutor of Belarus opened a criminal case into what it called an act of terrorism carried out by an organized group against infrastructure of the Belarusian Railway, according to TASS
I doubt it. I have not found confirmation of this network of partisans neither in the Belarusian prosecutor's office nor in TASS

No one is embarrassed by the photos from this article? Photo where the train - officer has an inscription on the back "Police", and not the militia? (in Belarus the police is called the milition). Photos from protests from another time of the year? (it's still winter in Belarus)
This Ukrainian video was changing point - and many in Russia picked up the message and came to Donbass - there is no sin in killing non-brothers. Never underestimate a power of poetry.
P.S. Girl from video confronted into troubles with ukrainian state and live in EU for 5+ years already, ukrainian patriotism at its best.

Analysis of a video with a "'Dagger"" hypersonic missile. English subtitles are available too. Is there still a desire to check whether Russia's nuclear weapons work, or will we take our word for it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d84r7Ifid78&ab_channel=SkyArtist
The US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Human Research Oversight Board (HROB) reviewed and approved this research study, which was conducted in compliance with U.S. Army Regulation AR 70-25
Defense agencies and US Army protocols seems usual in peaceful studies...
CCHFV has been classified as a hazard group 4 pathogen (UK) or risk group 4 (Europe, USA, international) in countries that have promulgated biosafety regulations, and should accordingly be handled in containment level 4 (CL-4, UK) or biosafety level 4 (BSL-4, Europe, USA, international) laboratories
and this obstacle was removed. But nothing to care about, because:

Why does Russia continue to bring up Chemical Weapons even at the United Nations? And keeps conflating disinformation about "bio-labs" as some conspiracy theory to justify. Biolabs can be used for many things, blood tests, science, Coronavirus research. So because Kremlin propaganda keeps saying this, does it make it true? Russian people are not stupid, I don't think they literally believe this or the de-Nazification lies. Not even Paratmar, whom already said he doesn't believe there are Nazi's in Ukraine.
Navalny getting another 9 years of jail, while he looks like skeleton near starved to death because he expressed views against Putin?
And Russia just announced new "Fake News" laws today , so maybe not much choice. Some Russians using VPN services to bypass the censorships.

I didn’t say anything about the Nazis in Ukraine, I haven’t been there for a long time, and I don’t believe all the media 100%. BUT! I myself in my youth was fond of various views, including the external manifestations of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS. It's beautiful, brutal, spectacular. But over time, I became a cosmopolitan, as I studied history, culture and human psychology in more depth. I think there are many followers of Nationalism in Ukraine. But this does not mean that they are all Nazis in spirit, many simply under the influence of youthful maximalism and herd instinct.
As I said, Ukraine is only the beginning of the redistribution of the world order. What will end is unknown, but many will suffer. Human nature is prone to violence. "War is just a continuation of politics by other means" (c). On a war, you should to choose a side.

I believe Russia has chemical weapons. Is this true? Is there any chance they could use them?
If Russia wants to win this war quickly, I think they will have to use different weapons. The currently strategy of indirect bombardment and destruction of cities may take too long.

May be not quickly. The more population fled to West, the less troubles will be in taken lands (especially considering expecting fail of spring sowing campaign = troubles with even basic food supplies). Some different weapons already used - some videos claimed as usage of thermobaric system TOS-1 in Ukraine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSYNcaX3lTw , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbSN8dyJw9I

Well this is the big mystery is Russia holding back or is it dysfunctional government? Russia could potentially carpet bomb / missile strike every inch of Ukraine cities but I suspect not because 1) plan to loot and plunder Ukraine 2) Russia does not want to waste more expensive munitions 3) Russia wants to have some small chance to govern intact cities where possible to install puppet regime (return of Victor/Mannafort).
The recent estimates of 7,000 Russian KIA looks very credible. More evidence of ambush carnage and wrecks. Total Russian casualties including prisoners, wounded or missing approaching estimated 10% of invasion force now. So Russia does not have good options now...either re-group and reinforce or escalate.
New intercepted Russian communications (rely on Ukrainian cell service?) confirms invasion force teams running out of fuel, water, food.
Ukraine had a bad story of mastered 'speaking heads' videos, some was exposed as fakes even on MH17 tribunal.
Ukraine seems like stockpiled and well maintained enough Tochka (NATO code Scarab) tactical ballistic missiles, and made some successful strikes, including today's one at Berdiansk port -https://t.me/milinfolive/79457
Estimates was that they had several hundreds before the 2014.
