During the past week*, 8150 Russian casualties were counted in Ukraine. This makes it the deadliest week of the entire war.

Got a #Boycottolympics meme. Post it in comments, and I will add it to the collection.
Rooted in the legacy of the Soviet Union, Russian sports are deeply interconnected with Russian politics and the Russian military.
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu presenting Regimental Cup to CSKA Sports Club.
"The regimental cup is a badge of military valor awarded to military formations. The cup symbolizes unity and cohesion of military brotherhood."
"CSKA is the most titled and powerful sports club not only in Russia, but also in the world. "
Russian state-sponsored doping programs and corruption scandals have highlighted the intertwining of politics and sports in Russia.
For this reason, the Russian flag was already banned from the Tokyo Olympics. War crimes in Ukraine led to the same 'punishment' in Paris unless we manage to change the course of things.
