Igor Sushko (on B’Sky) reports that “Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missile flew over 1,000km and successfully struck the VNIIR-Progress military electronics factory in Cheboksary”, Russia & shows native vision, filmed by locals, complete with frightened soundtrack - of the Ukrainian missile streaking through the sky. 🙀
What air defense doing? 🤔
Sushko: “The Flamingo cruise missile strike occurred in broad daylight deep in the Russian rear.
“Russian air defense does not appear to be present.” 🫤
Amazing that Russian air or any other form of defense has done/ can do nothing to stop Ukrainian missiles. Over 1,000km is a looong way to fly unchallenged across an enemy’s territory. 🫤

Sushko also reports that the head of the Central Bank in Russia is under some form of house arrest after a run in with Putin over “full mobilisation” in preparation for attacks on other neighbours eg Finland, the Baltics, etc, that is, countries in Europe, NATO countries. ☹️
Apparently (according to “former All-Russia State Television Editor-in-chief Dmitry Skorobutov, exiled in Switzerland”):
“In a heated exchange she had issued an ultimatum: She will quit and leave the country if Putin starts total mobilization.”

"The Kremlin’s definition of ‘peace’ often appears to involve Ukraine accepting the consequences of Russian aggression.

Not everyone shares that definition."

"... we should not be looking for a change of heart in the Kremlin, but for signs of a systemic failure of the state that supports it.

Until then, hopes for a “negotiated settlement” serve only to prolong the bloodshed. Russia will not take an off-ramp; it needs to be defeated. ..."
