Article from Meuza (strongly anti-Russian "liberal" media, parthner of BBC in their project to calculate Russian losses in this war) - this time for some reason they are describing grim realities of war not only on pro-Ukr side of the frontline, but also deep in Ukr rear. I have translated part of it for "military" thread, but "civilian" part of it also deserves attention.

Pro-Ukr video of two  M30A1 GMLRS (with tungsten balls) and one M31A1 GMLRS (HE) on Northern entrance to Korenevo settlement, Kursk region ( https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CHFvmD~X ). To some extent, this video is telling: unlike last year when NATO was able to target RusArmy columns parked in open, this time they parade as success video of strike of no visible target (at least no single vehicle seen, missiles are hitting village house, fuel station and something like roadside cafe). It means that even against poorly organised RusArmy precision strikes are no more effective, even without SAM assets around and no EW (note missiles are striking alleged target areas more or less acurately). No doubt China war machine is taking notes, and against Chinese Army this weapons will be even less effective

There is no contradiction here.

1. The second thing pro-Western colonial administration  is scared of (after own people with arms) is anger of West. Russian elite is constantly balancing between this two dangers, constantly lieing to own people where possible to pretend to be "Patriots of Russia" (and not only lieing but doing other things like killing/imprisoning pro-Russian activists, replacing population with Central Asian migrants etc.) and at the same time are trying to stay in good terms with West (sort of "we know nothing, ask MoD", "it is not us", "we woiuld like to stay in good relations with our dear Western parthners" and so on. 

The curious thing about it is that you fight with all your strength to ensure that nothing will change. You are against the system and still want to keep it alive. A victory Russia over Ukraine would be the maximum fixation of the situation  you complain. The Putin system would then be more almighty than ever. Good luck...

First thing you do not understand is there is no "Putin system" - the system was created by combined efforts of West and their local collaborators well before him. Putin is only appointed manager who was selected from other candidates to make sure this system will stay intact (or, at least, safe for rulling class). He was chosen because 1) he is PERSONALLY not corrupt and 2)he is known for almost unhealthy desire to keep his word. And over 20+ years he is making sure "The Family" is safe and in posession of their assets....

Second thing you do not understand is this system can't exist without deep links with West - see my explanation below from another thread

Third, as i have repeatedly quoted here, "Russian Federation can't prevail in this war - only Russia can".  This war itself is ruining what you call "Putin system", and it is next to impossible to bring it now to its pre-war status.

That is interesting:

USAID Invested $3,4 Billion in Anti-Crimea Propaganda – Elon Musk

"The head of the US Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) Elon Musk said that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) spent $3,4 billion on information operations aimed at preventing the return of Crimea to Russia. According to him, these funds were spent on “posts, likes and reposts on social networks” instead of being directed to truly important needs."

   If true, it will mean the cost of information campaign ( literally people with keyboards and screens) was about the same as the cost of massive 19 km long Kerch bridge construction

  Perfect visualisation of old ideom about bridge for sale.....

The most dangerous thing to any country is an elite that believes in its own propaganda.

Propaganda is a tool to explain complicated things in simple terms and implant a particular viewpoint in people who are incapable of understanding the subject matter, or who would be opposed to the particular viewpoint out of moral or self-interested considerations.

Propaganda doesn't have to be untrue, but it very often is, because lying is simpler than explaining a complicated truth.

The people who use propaganda upon either their own or an enemy population MUST be immune to it. When decision-makers start believing in false or simplistic narratives, they make really bad decisions.

Examples aren't hard to find. The Germans lost on the Eastern Front of WW2 because they believed their own propaganda about how fragile the USSR was, and how inferior Russians are. American state-building efforts failed because the people planning them truly believed that inside every Afghan tribesman there is a bisexual Seattle libtard longing to break free. The early phase of the SMO went the way it did because the Kremlin put its trust in what they were told by 'pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians', who, being Ukrainian politicians, just stole all the money they were given instead of engaging in pro-Russian subversion.

The previous US administration believed in their own propaganda about Russia being a Third World gas station that would crumble under sanctions, and whose army would be wiped out by superior NATO doctrine and technology. The current US administration seems more realistic about this...

The European Union is still caught in the trap of their own propaganda rhetoric. They made up a clownish, infantile narrative in which Putin is Schizo Hitler who just invaded a prosperous democracy for no reason, and is currently losing BADLY, with Russia being on the verge of collapse. They base everything they do on this narrative, because they are, frankly speaking, retarded.

Modern Western European 'elites' (upper middle class and upwards) are the most easily propagandized people in all of human history. A medieval peasant had more curiosity and skepticism about the world than they do. While they cling to their delusions, they must be kept away from any decision-making, and cannot be included in any serious diplomacy. They can self-destruct and destroy their economies and demographics even further, if they want to, but it's of crucial importance to just... not listen to them.

Russian state-owned media has now provided some details from the call between the U.S. and Russian presidents. Details below:
- A 175 for 175 prisoner swap is expected to take place tomorrow March 19, 2025 between Ukraine and Russia.
- The two leaders also talked about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
- President Putin at least tacitly agreed to President Trump’s proposal for a 30-day halt on Russian strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
- Increased Russo-American bilateral cooperation. Pledged to create dedicated working groups to facilitate negotiations.
- Come to an agreement on the safety of shipping in the Black Sea. (It should be noted that Russia has been the primary threat to commercial shipping in the Black Sea for the entire conflict)
- A “complete cessation” of military aid to Ukraine was stressed by Russia’s top decision-maker.
