While ruzzians either execute Ukrainian POWs, torture them relentlessly in captivity, or starve them close to death, this russian POW complains about conditions in Ukrainian prison.
"Cruel" Ukrainians are not giving him his favorite salads. Horrific.

The Kremlin has called for the mass replacement of Russians with robots
The problem of labor shortage in Russia can be solved by introducing robots into enterprises, said Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration Maxim Oreshkin. "Robotization is a direct path to overcoming the labor shortage, which affects all industries," he said during his speech at the Innopolis forum.
From the Kremlin official's point of view, in addition to industrial production, robots can be introduced to support such processes as logistics, storage and sorting. Oreshkin added that with the active growth of wages, automation will become increasingly profitable. He also noted that Russia has a "large support package", including tax breaks, for robot manufacturers and those who introduce them.
In June, President Vladimir Putin demanded that Russia “shortly” enter the world’s top 25 countries in robot use, meaning the installation of more than 100,000 such machines. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak called robotization and the development of artificial intelligence among the main factors in the long-term growth of the Russian economy.
Currently, there are about 19 robots per 10,000 workers in the domestic industry. The leaders in this indicator are South Korea (1,012 robots), Singapore (730 robots) and Germany (415 robots).
After the war with Ukraine began, which resulted in mobilization and mass emigration, Russia experienced an acute shortage of personnel. According to the Central Bank, 70% of enterprises are experiencing a labor shortage. According to government estimates, the economy will need 2.4 million new workers by 2030.
North Korea has strongly rejected NATO's accusations of supplying missiles and ammunition to Russia, calling them "slander" and issuing a warning of "tragic consequences" if NATO persists with its "hostile policy." In a statement from the North Korean Foreign Ministry, Pyongyang expressed outrage over NATO's condemnation of its military cooperation with Russia, as well as similar criticism of Iran's support for Moscow.
The timing of these accusations, coinciding with the NATO Secretary General's visit to Ukraine, was interpreted by North Korea as a signal that the Alliance aims to confront the DPRK directly. The statement reiterated North Korea’s stance, echoing Russian propaganda, that NATO, not Moscow, is responsible for instigating the war in Ukraine. Additionally, North Korea criticized NATO's expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, claiming that the Alliance is seeking to justify its existence post-Cold War.
Pyongyang warned that if NATO continues its "hostile" actions, it would hold the Alliance fully accountable for any resulting "tragic consequences." This marks a firm stance from North Korea, highlighting the growing geopolitical tensions surrounding military support for Russia amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
It appears one person in North Korea gets enough to eat.
An excellent article today
Why did Russia attack Ukraine? Their leader and a good many of their people are demented.
Corporations that kill workers through dangerous working conditions

A Wagner mercenary who returned from the war beat a resident of Novosibirsk to a coma and sent the video to her relatives.
Police detained a former participant in the war with Ukraine, who beat a woman in Novosibirsk to a state of coma, filming the beatings on video.
"Around 5 pm, my mother bought groceries and went to visit someone. Closer to late in the evening, we could not get through to her. At about one o'clock in the morning, we were sent a video of him beating her. He is a former prisoner, he was imprisoned for murder (he stabbed a woman), he signed a contract with the Wagner PMC from the camp and left for the special military operation," the son of the victim told the Incident Novosibirsk channel.
After the beating, the former mercenary dragged the victim out into the street and left her on the asphalt. The woman is in intensive care in extremely serious condition, in the last stage of coma.
The killer will probably not even be judged as police are actively recruiting "volunteers".
On February 29, the head of state, in a message to the Federal Assembly, declared the participants in the war with Ukraine the new "elite" of the country. Putin noted that they should be engaged in the education of young people and lead the regions. "Such people who think about the country, live its destiny, can be handed over in the future and entrusted to Russia," he said.

The European Union is planning to revise its military support system for Ukraine due to Hungary’s veto, which is aligned with its pro-Russian stance, reports RMF24.
According to the newspaper, EU ambassadors are expected to reach a political agreement on Wednesday regarding the provision of €50 billion in aid to Ukraine, sourced from the frozen assets of the Russian Federation. The draft decision suggests that most of the funds will be allocated to programs financed through the EU budget, with only 5% directed toward the European Peace Facility, a fund that has occasionally been used to finance arms for Ukraine.
This adjustment is designed to bypass Hungary's veto, as the decision will no longer require unanimous approval from all EU member states.
