Vladimir Putin had to hold onto a table for support during a meeting with a top official. The warmonger, who has long been dogged by rumours of ill-health, held a firm grip as he listened to Russia’s top grain boss in Moscow. It appeared to be a carbon copy of a meeting Putin had at the same table last month. Footage showed the 69-year-old gripping the table so hard his veins started to bulge. These are just the latest in a long line of appearances coming under the spotlight amid reports of secret surgeries and body doubles. A clip from a recent awards ceremony showed Putin’s legs shaking as he swayed back and forth with his arms straight by his side. It is also widely believed he is taking steroids or receiving cancer treatment, which has left him looking puffy-faced. Professor Erik Bucy, a body language expert from Texas Tech University, told The Sun : ‘This is not a portrait of a healthy Putin but one appearing increasingly feeble and barely able to … [Read more...] about Putin seen tightly gripping a table again during meeting with grain boss

Vladimir Putin has staged drills with his road-launched Yars nuclear missiles in a forest in western Siberia. Their 7,500-mile range means they are capable of striking the UK or anywhere in Europe. The tests come amid high tension with the West over the war in Ukraine , and against the backdrop of near-daily threats by Putin’s propagandists to deploy atomic weapons. In a statement, the Russian defence ministry said: ‘Over 100 pieces of hardware are taking part in the exercise. ‘Launch vehicles of the Yars road-mobile missile systems of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces’ Novosibirsk Missile Formation have trained redeployment during a scheduled drill. ‘While performing their manoeuvres, missile units and detachments dispersed in a forest to increase concealment.’ They trained in killing mock saboteurs, reconnoitring the launch area, and in passing through ‘contaminated’ areas, said the defence ministry. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has triggered the most … [Read more...] about Putin stages drills with Yars nuclear missiles capable of reaching UK

Speaking at a news conference Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia would have to carpet-bomb the Ukrainian capital and kill its residents to take the city. Meanwhile, the Russian troops are attempting to encircle Kyiv further, fighting against heavy resistance in the west and the north of the city. And after twelve days of siege, the strategic southern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol is without water, gas, electricity or communications, and people were seen fighting for food in recent days. The situation is "almost desperate", warned Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). The number of civilians killed during the siege of Mariupol reached 1,582, and some of the casualties had to be buried in mass graves. Local authorities fear that the actual number might be much higher. 03.12.2022 09:24 Saturday's main developments: The worst of the fighting overnight took place in Irpin, Mykolaiv and Sumy, according to the General Staff of the … [Read more...] about Ukraine war: Kyiv would only fall ‘if carpet bombed’ by Russia, Zelenskyy says

Despite Moscow's attempts to stem any dissent against its invasion of Ukraine, some Russians are continuing to protest -- even if it means facing draconian punishment for the most benign acts of opposition. Some have paid a heavy price for their acts of protest. In the early days of the war in February, authorities moved quickly to quash demonstrations, arresting people who marched or even held blank signs, balloons in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, or other oblique references to the conflict. Critical media outlets were shut down as the government sought to control the narrative. Political opponents were singled out by President Vladimir Putin or commentators on state-run TV.

E' di almeno 35 morti e oltre 130 feriti il bilancio dell'attacco missilistico russo contro una base militare vicino a Leopoli, nell'Ucraina occidentale. I raid delle forze di Mosca hanno colpito il "Centro internazionale di mantenimento della pace e della sicurezza" nel distretto di Yavoriv a circa 25 chilometri dal confine con la Polonia. Il governatore della regione Maksym Kozytski ha sottolineato l'importanza di una no-fly zone: "Ecco perché continuiamo a chiedere alla Nato di chiudere i nostri cieli, perché per combattere con un nemico che non entra nemmeno in Ucraina, ma lancia un missile da crociera, è necessario avere un sistema di difesa aerea serio", ha detto il governatore.
