🇷🇺 increasingly uses civilian hostages as human shields. Occupiers protect their columns of equipment with abducted residents of captured Ukrainian towns and villages. According to Ukrainian ombudsman, russians don't mind hiding even behind children.

The Russian military has opened a bazaar for the sale of loot
-In the city of Narovlya (Belarus) the occupiers set up a specialized bazaar selling property looted in Ukraine. The "range" of looting bazaar: washing machines and dishwashers, refrigerators, jewelry, cars, bicycles, motorcycles, dishes, carpets, works of art, children's toys, cosmetics. That is, everything that the Russians gained through looting and looting of civilians in Ukraine.
-The occupiers are also trying to exchange stolen currency dollars and euros. But due to internal restrictions on currency circulation, Belarusians are reluctant to agree to exchange transactions and offer the occupiers to turn to local banks. The Russians refuse, citing a ban on command.
-Currently, the occupiers have organized a centralized supply of new lots of looting "goods" to its market. In particular, a convoy of trucks with various property industrial goods and household items is moving from the city of Buryn (Konotop district, Sumy region) towards the state border.
-In the city of Mozyr (Belarus) there are Russian military KAMAZ trucks from which soldiers unload packages of items obtained by looting. The loot is sent to Russia by the Russian express delivery service SDEK.

#Russian soldiers are not only killing Ukrainians and bombing cities. They also rob Ukrainian houses and send gadgets, cars and jewelry from #Ukraine. The video shows them sending the loot home by mail. In addition, street markets have been opened in Belarus with loot. pic.twitter.com/m6L2d0L7oV

Who is carrying this stolen mail. Nothing Should be going out of the country in wartime.

Ah, I was thinking they were sending from Ukraine. That makes much more sense.

Dude even US troops did this from Europe. This isn't a shock. It's just part of war.

Very concerning news. Marianna, the pregnant girl from #Mariupol, turns out to be one of the refugees that has been taken to #Russia in violation of the evacuation agreement.

There they put her in front of a camera and have her say there was no aerial attack on the hospital. pic.twitter.com/SLJMAGeFTy

🇷🇺❌🇺🇦#BREAKING: Russia says it will target Britain's high-precision weapons as they enter Ukraine

"Even if Ukrainian and Russian negotiators are able to reach a deal that leads to a ceasefire in the Ukraine war, Russian President Vladimir Putin will not abandon his goal of dominating Kyiv, a top Russia expert warns."

"So as long as Putin's in the Kremlin, he's not going to give up on Ukraine," Angela Stent, who served in the Office of Policy Planning at the State Department from 1999 to 2001 and as national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia at the National Intelligence Council from 2004 to 2006, told Insider.

"He is not going to give up on his goal of subordinating Ukraine" and "having a government there that's pro-Russian," Stent said, adding, "That's his goal. He obviously hasn't achieved it now and he probably won't in the near future, but he's not going give up on that."

"This is something that's driven him for years, something he's obsessed with...He is determined to subordinate the Ukrainians," Stent, now a Georgetown professor and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, went on to say."

Talks between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators in Turkey appeared to show signs of progress this week, but Stent does not believe Russia is approaching the discussions in good faith.

"They're not serious about this" and just attempting to "buy time" and find "leverage," Stent said, noting that the lead Russian negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, is a former culture minister and not someone with direct contacts to Putin or the Kremlin. To her point, there was an evident disconnect between Medinsky's assessment of the talks and the Kremlin.

"So as long as Putin's in the Kremlin, he's not going to give up on Ukraine," @AngelaStent said. "This is something that's driven him for years, something he's obsessed with...He is determined to subordinate the Ukrainians." https://t.co/czu5NoqfBV

Yea, just because we did something in the past doesn't make it right.

Will the mines detonate if shot? I would think so, but not sure.

Notwithstanding with its warlike image, boosted by massive PR campaign, Russian military have nearly zero experience of fighting conventional wars against other regular armies. They were quite successful in suppressing civilian riots ofc, in Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, etc pic.twitter.com/mgtIi2yJqu

Not sure... they likely have a pressure plate on top and not sure how you'd trigger than with a shot from the side... I suppose it's possible but would be difficult to achieve

Maybe some tannerite on top of one? That would create some pressure.

Wel this sucks. I'm sure Ukraine is grateful that they no longer have to worry about the logistical nightmare of finding room for more Russian POWs in this region, but this will no doubt slow the transfer of Russian arms and equipment to Ukraine.

Damn! That's unbelievable the Russians are that brutal and evil.
