The Russian republic of Dagestan is in mourning after at least 20 people were killed in coordinated shootings targeting churches, synagogues and police posts.

Dagestan is a predominantly Muslim republic in southern Russia, which neighbours Chechnya.

  1. Russians are constantly forcing Zelenskyy to move his depleted reserves to try to plug next hole. It's a part of a strategy of aggressive attrition. Due to successful implementation of this strategy Ukrainian losses increased to 14,000 a week. It's simply unsustainable for Ukraine. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration . “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945.

  2. Who else? The disturbing but familiar scenes of the Uyghurs dragged into one of 380 Xinjiang camps in China ?? for:
    – having a beard,
    – wearing a veil,
    – applying for a passport,
    – possessing a Quran,
    – praying,
    – downloading WhatsApp or
    – having too many children.

  3. Putin want to copy the western
    For supply weapons to Ukraine
    He said he too will supply weapons to N korea
