Recruitment of Russians in prisons has reached a new level: they are sent to war even at the stage of arrest
Olga Romanova, a human rights activist and head of the organization "Russia Behind Bars", told NEXTA about new ways of obtaining "cannon fodder" for the war in Ukraine.
Almost all prisoners in Russian prisons have been raided for the war. Recruitment continues, but it has actually been suspended due to a shortage of volunteers.
Last year a law was passed that allows people to be taken to war before trial, during the investigation. For example, if a person has been planted with drugs, he realizes that it will be difficult to get away with it, so he may choose the easiest option - to go to war in exchange for closing the criminal case.
For example, police officers in the Kirov region can receive 10,000 rubles for each detainee who agrees to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. The bonuses motivate them to put pressure on prisoners and break the law, Romanova notes.

Some soldiers complain availability of shells are the issue, but this isn’t new. Nor are Russian tactics or EW superiority. Crux of Pokrovsk collapse is exhaustion. Some Ukr soldiers are at positions 70 days at a time. Russia meanwhile is rotating troops every few days.

Military correspondent Kotenok complains about the delay in the construction of defensive structures in Kursk and Kurchatov. He is shocked by the inefficiency of local managers, and the thoroughly corrupt system in which everything has to be done at the last moment.

I haven't seen or heard that word used so much in a single sentence since the late 1980's on Long Island with a rigging crew from Brooklyn. One once used the word for every single part of speech in a sentence, every single word

Glad to see gains in Kursk. But it looks like Ukrainian forces are being stretched too thin as well. I’m seeing where Ukraine is losing ground in Donetsk and the city of Pokrovsk is at risk. Not a pretty picture overall.

Non sequitur: have you ever seen the McNulty and Bunk "frick" scene from the wire? If not it is a must watch. Obviously NSFW language.

If you missed it,that logistics thread I posted earlier is great. Basically says Ukraine had to redo their entire supply chain for Kursk as they don't have rail and are probably at the extent of what the trucks they have can handle.

This was common with them consistently. The surprising result of the entire sentence was that I understood it completely, due intonation and emphasis while seeing what was happening. :

Ouch. That’s going to ramp up some pressure on Putin I bet.

Rural it affects nothing because they used to be shite on, but Moscow and St. Pete have no idea that there is a war going on.

Damn Russian sailors and their cigarettes starting more fires

It is now a sunken ship alongside the dock and had 50 tank cars at around 30,000 gals each. The dock specifically for rail Ro/Ro cargo must has also sustained damage. The ship docks tail end to the dock.
There is a pier between the two RoRo berths, so a second berth may not be damaged. The pier may be damaged.

A personal friend was an Army intel captain in Germany in the late 70's. They never trusted Germans with any sensitive intel, only close to common knowledge sort of stuff. Germany leaked like a sieve straight to East Germany/Russia.
