Sorry, I'm not putting this in the animal thread.

"In Sverdlovsk region of Russia, authorities set up a limit on capturing hedgehogs (no more than one), and two types of small rodents - max. 20 species per one person.

There are special documents and coupons in place to control this.

Russian websites promote hedgehog meat as a delicacy and its fat as extremely good for health. They contain recipes for cooking that start with putting a live hedgehog into a hot oven.

Now we know where Russian propaganda got the idea that residents of UK eat squirrels..."

How anyone thinks this is humane is beyond me. This is pure evil.

Note that I translated the image but the source wrote the translation in text so it doesn't match up word for word. I would rely more on the source's translation rather than Yandex.

"Russian "military correspondent" and propagandist Roman Saponkov openly writes that the main achievement of the "special military operation" is capturing 320,000 Ukrainian children and turning them into Russians.

Russians themselves openly acknowledge that the main goal of their war is ethnocide. Closing down Ukrainian schools, brainwashing Ukrainian children and simply forbidding them to be Ukrainians.

Saponkov writes on his Telegram channel:

"On 1st September over 320,000 children went to school at liberated territories and on Donbas, 29,500 of them are first graders. This is one of the main achievements of the SMO [special military operation]. We have torn over 1/3 million children out of the hands of the crazy rusophobic propaganda. This is wonderful.

But the main result is that our children on the new territories will not be soaked by this poisonous propaganda, as on the video of Aleksey Zhivov through the link, and will study in Russian schools in Russian language. Just imagine - 320,000 children in Russian schools - how wonderful it is.""

"Ukraine does not have complete data on the number of Ukrainian children taken by Russians from the occupied territories - Iryna Vereshchuk, Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories

"The enemy does not provide lists. They do not inform international organizations. We have no access. The migration of our children is uncontrolled," Vereshchuk said.

About 20,000 children are known to have been taken away, 4.500 of them are orphans."

"Medvedev informed that since January 1, the Russian Armed Forces have recruited about 280,000 people on a contract basis.

He is trying to reassure the Russian population that there will be no mobilization as there are enough volunteers.

MP of the Russian State Duma Gurulyov said that there are no plans to carry out a new wave of mobilization in the Russian Federation yet.

He said the authorities had decided to focus on the mass recruitment of contract servicemen into the army.

"I'm running out of ways to say that we have gone the other way. We have a plan for 420,000 contract servicemen, which we must fulfill by the end of the year. What kind of mobilization are we talking about?" - Gurulyov said.

At the same time, the Russian Federation is recruiting foreigners for war to avoid mobilization before the presidential elections in 2024.

But I am sure that mobilization is inevitable.
When Russia starts denying something, it means the decision has been made."




VIDEO:
"Russian propagandist Simonyan complains that no Russian allies give Russia weapons, send soldiers or help in any other way.

She remembers that Russia lost the only war it fought on its own.

Simonyan also repeats one of the most popular Russian myths that it was the USSR that won WWII. This belief is one of the pillars Russia builds its identity on."

"Cuban authorities reported the uncovering of a criminal human trafficking network whose members forced Cuban citizens to fight on Russia's side in Ukraine.

This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba. According to the ministry, the agent network operated from Russia and recruited both Cubans living on its territory and from outside.

-Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

"Cuba counters human trafficking operations aimed for military recruitment purposes.

The Ministry of the Interior has detected and it is working to neutralize and dismantle a human trafficking network that operates from Russia in order to incorporate Cuban citizens living there and even some living in Cuba, into the military forces that participate in military operations in Ukraine. Attempts of this nature have been neutralized and criminal proceedings have been initiated against those involved in these activities.

Cuba’s enemies are promoting distorted information that seeks to tarnish the country’s image and present it as an accomplice to these actactions that we firmly reject.

Cuba has a firm and clear historical position against mercenarism, and it plays an active role in the United Nations in rejection of the aforementioned practice, being the author of several of the initiatives approved in that forum.

Cuba is not part of the war in Ukraine. It is acting and it will firmly act against those who within the national territory participate in any form of human trafficking for mercenarism or recruitment purposes so that Cuban citizens may raise weapons against any country."

Videos like this are a harsh reminder that this war will not end until Putin is dead. It won't end until the nazi Ruzzia will learn the real history and apologize for their crimes, just like Germany did.

Putin fundamentally does not understand why Ukraine is fighting back. He simply doesn't understand that not everyone wants to serve their ruski reich. He doesnt understand that people have other identities, other cultures, other languages, other histories.
The fact that he sent trucks loaded with riot ger into Kiev during his first wave of invasion shows how disconnected from reality he was.

Putin was born and brought up under the Soviet occupation. He learned the fake history told by the KGB and he keeps making decisions based on that alternative history. Until Ruzzians learn the truth about their past, nothing will change. Even if this war ends with some kind of peace treaty, another one will begin soon after. The next führer will learn the fake history that is being written today and will begin the next brutal war.

If its true that the Ruzzians are already programming the next generation into their Putin jugend( history books teaching that the west is a demonic evil degenerate and russia under Putin is the holy savior ), it will take an entire generation until we have another chanche at true peace.

Im curious how many people here thought that something like this( a new authoritarian nazi reich being born ) was possible in 21st century? I personally had ruled out all wars between large countries because it just seemed so implausible. People have too good lives nowdays to follow a führer into a mindless war.
Sadly, i was wrong.
The appeal of a totalitarian father figure seems to be a fundamental part of our species.
