[Meduza]: State-controlled ‘autonomy’ How the Kremlin uses ‘independent organizations’ to do its propaganda dirty work
“Patriotic” programs and events have been popping up all over Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory. The entities behind these endeavors are often “autonomous nonprofit organizations”: organizations purportedly characterized by their socially beneficial, cultural, educational, scientific, or charitable nature.[..] the Kremlin directly funds and controls many of these so-called “autonomous” organizations. Meduza summarizes the findings in English.

Fascinating. Worth reading. [Gifted article, no paywall. NYTimes.com]: The Spy War: How the C.I.A. Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin
For more than a decade, the United States has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership with Ukraine that is now critical for both countries in countering Russia.
This is shocking: “Often, the C.I.A. briefings contained shockingly specific details.
On March 3, 2022 — the eighth day of the war — the C.I.A. team gave a precise overview of Russian plans for the coming two weeks. The Russians would open a humanitarian corridor out of the besieged city of Mariupol that same day, and then open fire on the Ukrainians who used it.”

Wow.. [Meduza]: Putin killed Navalny because negotiations for his release in prisoner swap were nearing completion, Navalny associate Maria Pevchikh says
This quote: “I tell you this story so that you have an answer to the question of why Navalny was killed specifically now,” Pevchikh said. “It was made clear to Putin that the only way to get Krasikov would be to exchange him for Navalny.” She continued:
“I can’t tolerate Navalny being free,” thought Putin. “And since they’re willing to exchange Krasikov in principle, I just need to get rid of the bargaining chip. Then I’ll offer someone else when the time comes.”
This is who we are dealing with. This is who Mike Johnson has aligned himself with. This is Trump’s guy. This is madman murderer and he must be stopped.
