"It's like a bridge, it's there, and at the same time it's as if it doesn't exist.” - That's the most Russian thing I've read... all day.

quote:

In 2025, the role of the Crimean Peninsula for the Russian army changed.

“If in 2022–2024 the peninsula was seen by the Russian army and political leadership as a key logistical hub for the grouping of forces, then by 2025 the situation changed. The Crimean artery turned out to be not as reliable as the Russians would have liked,” – says military expert, head of security programs at the Center for Globalistics "Strategy-XXI" Pavel Lakichuk.

This happened after Ukrainian strikes on large landing ships, which supplied Russian military in Crimea, the expert explains. The transportation of military cargo is limited even on the Kerch Bridge.

“The Russians are afraid to transport explosive cargo, military equipment. Movement here is restricted. And even for civilians, there are a whole series of restrictions. It's like a bridge, it's there, and at the same time it's as if it doesn't exist,” says Pavel Lakichuk.

Why didn’t you quote his entire sentence?

It does make a difference when you put everything in context.

This is how Gangster Putin keeps the oligarchs in line regarding the Ukraine war.

quote:

Former Russian banking billionaire says an Instagram post cost him $9 billion: His company was sold for 3% of its value in ‘hostage’ situation.

Former Russian banking tycoon Oleg Tinkov says a single Instagram post condemning the war in Ukraine cost him nearly $9 billion, after he was forced to sell his stake in his bank for a fraction of its real value. He described the episode as a “hostage” situation that shows how dissenting billionaires are brought to heel in Vladimir Putin’s Russia.?

Tinkov, the founder of Tinkoff Bank, was once celebrated as one of Russia’s wealthiest bankers. That status changed dramatically in April 2022, when he used Instagram to denounce the war as “insane” and to criticize Russia’s military as poorly prepared and riddled with corruption. As CNBC reported at the time, Tinkov claimed 90% of Russians opposed the war, and the remaining 10% were “morons.” He urged an immediate and “face-saving” end to the war.?

Tinkov told the BBC recently that within a day of that post, senior executives at his bank received a call from officials linked to the Kremlin, delivering a stark ultimatum. Either Tinkov’s stake would be sold and his name scrubbed from the brand, or the bank—then one of Russia’s largest lenders—would be nationalized.
