The Associated Press (AP) has revealed that young African women are being fraudulently recruited to work in Russia's "Shahed" factory in Tatarstan, where attack drones are manufactured. According to the investigation, around 200 women from Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, South Sudan, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka were lured to Russia through deceptive social media ads offering free flights and jobs in the hospitality and catering sectors.

Upon arriving in Russia, these women, aged 18 to 22, were coerced into working 12-hour shifts assembling "Shahed" drones, which are used in daily attacks on Ukrainian cities. The women worked alongside Russian students in the Alabuga special economic zone. According to accounts, they were under constant surveillance both at work and in their dormitories. Promises of wages were not fulfilled, and they had to work with chemicals that caused skin problems.

The AP's investigation included analysis of satellite images of the factory complex, internal documents, and interviews with several women who worked there. The factory in Tatarstan is Russia’s main production hub for attack drones, aiming to produce 6,000 drones annually by 2025, according to data from the Washington Institute for Science and International Security.

And regarding going nuclear

I think Xi isn't a fan of the nuclear threats. China has always been a NO FIRST USE nation. Like to a fault. And Xi has been a solid supporter of the doctrine.

Their recent nuclear warnings were obviously directed at Putin. Considering that they were about how the nations of the world need to agree to a no first use policy.

All China is interested in, is making money. Lol china doesnt want trade partners exploding.

The funny part is I don't think most pro Russians who cheer at Putin's nuclear rhetoric really understand how it all works.

The US early warning system will detect nuclear launches within a fraction of a second at launch. This isnt a situation where we dont find out until radars pick them up. We detect them less then a second after launch. And here is the scary part. The US has a launch on warning Nuclear doctrine.. As does Russia.

It basically means that the US president has 6 minutes to decide yes or no. And a yes means we launch our entire arsenal at pre defined targets.

The moment Putin decides to go nuclear he has essentially done something that can end mankind.

There is no such thing as a first strike or a decapitation attack anymore. That was an early cold war thing. Early warning satellites have nullified that possibility. The decision to use nuclear weapons is a decision to destroy mankind.

On top of that, a single US Ohio class submarine has about the same destructive power as multiple city killer asteroids. Putin's hypersonic nuclear weapons are not impressive when it doesnt really do anything to change the fact that they cant actually get to the US quick enough to prevent our own launches.

Almost 50 Russians sent for forced treatment for political reasons

Russian courts have sent 49 people for compulsory treatment for political reasons, the Memorial Human Rights Center reports. “The scenario for sentencing to compulsory treatment is the same for everyone: at some point, the accused is declared insane and sent to a psychiatric hospital,” the human rights activists write. According to them, political prisoners are beaten, humiliated, and injected with powerful drugs during treatment, such as haloperidol, which is used for schizophrenia, manic states, delusional disorders, and psychosis.

Among those sent for compulsory treatment is Nizhny Novgorod guide and blogger Alexey Onoshkin, who has been in a special facility for a year. He is accused of "fakes" about the Russian army and calls for terrorism for comments and a post about the bombing of the Mariupol drama theater. Municipal deputy from the Saratov region Oleg Nepein was sent for compulsory treatment. He was also charged in the "fakes" case due to comments about the crimes of the Russian military during the invasion of Ukraine. Shaman Alexander Gabyshev has been forcibly treated for more than three years. He is accused of calls for extremism and the use of violence against government officials. Gabyshev was detained during a hike to perform a ritual to "expel Putin."

Musician and journalist Andrey Gaevsky was sent for compulsory treatment. He wrote several comments condemning the Russian attack on a shopping center in Kremenchuk. Deputy Executive Director of MIPT Viktor Moskalov has been undergoing compulsory treatment for almost a year and a half. He was also charged in the "fakes" case for comments about the crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine. Human rights activists note that patients can be "under "treatment" until they "recover", which means indefinitely."

The governor of Transbaikalia wiped his snot on the official. He claims he doesn't remember this

The footage that appeared online yesterday shows how Governor Alexander Osipov decided to first pick his nose and then wipe his snot on the head of the forestry department, Elena Shalyapina.

At that moment, the official was reporting on the situation with fires in the region.

Now the deputy chairman of the regional government, Vyacheslav Kulakov, claims that the governor was only scratching his nose:

“We discussed the situation with the governor. All that Alexander Mikhailovich remembered: a strong fire, smoke, a lot of midges... Today we found the full video - surprisingly, it turned out exactly like that. After looking at it, he said: “It’s not always possible to put out a fire, scratch your nose, and clarify the report at the same time.” Kulakov is quoted by the publication “Rise.”

The governor hopes that this situation will not upset Chaliapin, the government added.

Convicted ex-policeman commands Akhmat special forces unit

Bekkhan Yunusov, an ex-police officer from the Moscow region, convicted of abuse of office and accused of fraud, commands the "Aid" unit, which is part of "Akhmat", the BBC Russian Service has established . His identity was confirmed to the media by 2 sources.

Despite his frequent participation in propaganda videos, Yunusov prefers to hide his face under a balaclava. With reason.

Yunusov served in the police. In 2016, he began calling himself "Reaper" in social media. Around the same time, media began writing about the "Khimki Batman," who attacked drug dens in the Moscow region and beat up their visitors.

Yunusov was sentenced to 4 years for abuse of office, but was released on parole. Soon after accused of fraud - offered help in solving problems for a million rubles. Yunusov was detained while receiving the money. Even before the trial, in 2023, he signed a contract with the Akhmat special forces and avoided a new sentence.

Yulia Navalnaya received the international Vanguardia Awards in Barcelona "for women's courage."

At the same time, another Navalnaya, 26-year-old Irina , a native of Mariupol, was sentenced by the Rostov-on-Don District Military Court to 8 years in a general regime penal colony on charges of preparing a terrorist attack during the "referendum" on the annexation of the self-proclaimed DPR to Russia in September 2022.

And no one will remember this other Navalnaya nor will she get an award for courage.

Irina Navalnaya was subjected to terrible torture in prison, including because of her last name.

"'Ah, Navalnaya, well, you're like Navalny's illegitimate daughter.' And they put her up against the wall and put a gun to her head", says Irina's mother. "And they call their own people, like, 'Come on, if you want to see Navalnaya.'"

🇰🇵 North Korean soldiers are already fighting in Ukraine, and several thousand North Korean troops are undergoing training in Russia and may be deployed to the front lines in the future, according to the Institute for the Study of War.

Citing The Washington Post, analysts report that South Korean and Ukrainian officials have stated that North Korean soldiers are already operating alongside Russian forces in Ukraine.

A representative of Ukrainian military intelligence stated that some North Korean officers are observing Russian troops and studying the battlefield in Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine. However, Ukraine has not yet seen North Korean units actively operating in Ukraine.

“A Ukrainian official added that ‘several thousand’ North Korean infantrymen are being trained in Russia, and the Russian military command may deploy them to the front lines in Ukraine by the end of 2024 or to Russia’s border regions to free up Russian ‘reserves’ for combat in Ukraine,” ISW reports.
