frontline update:

The channel of relatives of Novosibirsk mobilised men published a fragment from the meeting on November 19. The relatives send their regards to propagandist Solovyov, who listed them as “agents of influence of foreign intelligence services.”

“We are real. You're a bit confused, Vladimir. We are not enemies of the people. We are THE people,” says mother of a mobilised man.

Relatives of mobilised Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine say their men call themselves slave warriors: they are exhausted, depressed, serving with serious diseases or injuries, equipped at their own expense, commanded by drunkards and sent to die in "meat assaults".

Russian tankies SUDDENLY realising that they've again been screwed over by Pu. Apparently, they're not happy about discussions of peace talks without finishing Ukraine off. The "minimum requirements" are "full control of four regions" and a "direct corridor to Transnistria". Otherwise, there "was no point in starting".

How to conquer part of other country but saying not going to conquer part of other country.

"The demand for Ukraine's neutrality and non-joining NATO was very important - but I will emphasize that in addition to that, among the unconditional demands from our side was the recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea, then the independence of the Donbas republics. There was a large number of humanitarian demands, but we proceeded from the need to protect the Russian-speaking population. Russia has never set itself the goal of conquering Ukraine. Accordingly, the West and Zelenskyy dragged our countries into full-scale military conflict," Medinsky said.

That desperation

Many peoples of Russia "retain the tradition of a strong, multi-generational family, where four, five or more children are brought up," Putin said, speaking at a meeting of the World Russian People's Council. He recalled that just a few generations ago families had seven or eight children each, or even more. "Let us preserve and revive these wonderful traditions. Having many children and a large family should become a norm, a way of life for all peoples of Russia," the Kremlin press service quoted Putin as saying.

'His War' is Andrey Zakharov's historical investigation into Vladimir Putin and the war he unleashed in Ukraine back in 2014. For ten years now, journalists from around the world have been gathering evidence on how exactly this war began. In this film, we have compiled all the evidence together.

This includes wiretaps of conversations among Russian officials and separatists, email leaks, and most importantly, confessions from the participants of the 'Russian Spring.'

Why did Putin specifically provoke the Euromaidan? How did the Kremlin prepare for the annexation of Crimea? And why did Russia's intervention in Ukraine's internal affairs become the main cause of the war that started in 2014? Find the answers to these questions in the second film of the Proekts’ series, 'Based on Real Events‘
