#Prigozhin estimates how long it will take to reach #Dnipro, the English Channel, borders of #Donetsk and #Luhansk regions.

From "#Kyiv in three days" to "it will take up to two years to capture #DPR and #LPR"

In the so-called "#LPR" a case was initiated for spying on an #OSCE employee from the #UK.

David Orrells is accused of passing on information about the occupying forces' positions and the location of civilian infrastructure facilities.

❗️A soldier of the #Russian Armed Forces was found hanged in the #LPR, in the entrance not far from the location of the #mobilized.

▫️He left a suicide note where he tells his wife that the #Kadirov soldiers from the "#Akhmat" battalion "rule" the #Russians at the front, #extort money and even #rape them - one of the soldiers decided to wash away the shame after the incident with the Kadirov soldiers.

⁉️I'm not sharing photos of the scene, but the proof is there. Shame in you #Putin

The #Russian operator #MTS continues to consider the so-called #DPR and #LPR to be #Ukrainian territory, despite the fact that #Putin has “assigned” these regions to the map of #Russia.

The self-proclaimed "#LPR" may sentence to death the convicted Viktor Sevalnev for the fact that the unit he commanded retreated from the front line.

The unit suffered heavy losses. The rest of the fighters fled, and he himself ended up in the hospital.

An official of the #occupation administration was detained in #Luhansk

The so-called Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Security of the "#LPR" #YuriDegtyarev was detained on suspicion of fraud with the forest - TASS.

Nach 12 Stunden #LPR und unterwegs mit Bahn und Öffis jetzt gemütlicher Teil mit Tee 🫖. Wünsche einen schönen Wochenendausklang!

RT @JacekSiewiera: Najdziwniejsze że jako lekarz 10 lat robiłem resuscytacje i później czekał najwyżej zimny kebab w dyżurce, ale gdy raz zrobiłem to jako minister to piszą w gazetach i mądrzą się na TT. Prawdziwymi bohaterami są ratownicy #LPR dla których to była druga albo trzecia robota tej doby

RT @WWFSverige: Torsdag 13/10 släpps WWFs stora flaggskeppsrapport Living Planet Report (LPR). 🐳🐅🐍🌎 I LPR 2020 konstaterades att världens populationer av ryggradsdjur som fåglar, fiskar & däggdjur, i genomsnitt minskat med 68 % sen 1970. Hur ser det ut för 2022, är trenden bruten? #wwf #lpr

"'With Russia forever!' - a banner about the long-awaited reunification with Russia has already been hung out in #Lugansk

Earlier it became known that in the #LPR, 98.42% were in favor of joining Russia, and now the region will again be at home."

RT @UnivOuverte: Les #FacsEtLabosEnLutte dénonçaient la #LPR juste avant le #COVID, parce qu'elle précarise les personnels, casse le #ServicePublic et que les annonces de hausse des budgets étaient fictives ✊
Avec l'#inflation galopante, c'est maintenant un effondrement vertigineux des moyens 😡

"With a #powerful #Russian military fighting alongside #DPR & #LPR forces, the #Ukro- #Nazi #military’s #defeat seems to be imminent unless [a #falseflag op] brings US/NATO in direct confrontation with Russian forces, a scenario Biden has already ruled out. Lobbyists nevertheless persist in their [#FakeNews] campaign to portray the Ukrainian military as underdogs scoring blow after blow against Russian hordes. In doing so, they help extend the war & continue the carnage~
