Here's my reply to the statement of #LarsvonTrier, that "Russian lives matter also".
Yo, Lars: You should tell this to #Putin, #Shoigu, #Gerasimov and other wankers.
If Russians do not enter #Ukraine as part of an #invasion force, they are pretty safe (apart from the lowly life expectancy and rampant crime in #Russia, that is) and their lives are not at risk.
You know, invading other countries comes at a price.
Sorry to say so: Von Trier is an utter idiot.

Why shooting down a plane with the airdefense and not poison or a window?
well, #prigozhin challenged the military leadership of #russia, not the intelligence agencies.
after sacking #surovikin (partner of prigozhin) as commander of the russian aerospace forces, the military leadership of russia (#shoigu and #gerasimov) had to get satisfaction and show who is in command of the russian military.
this is what I think we can expect from a mafia.

The Defense Ministry in Moscow has released footage of a briefing with #Gerasimov on repelling missile attacks started by #Ukraine on the annexed #Crimea peninsula and #Russia regions Rostov and Kaluga. His title, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, was used. The meeting is said to have taken place on Sunday. It is unclear whether the video is actually from Sunday or is older.

For the first time since the beginning of the #Prigozhin rebellion, the head of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, #Gerasimov, appeared in public.
In the Western press and among the Russian "military correspondents" it is alleged that he was removed after the… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1678299861580496897 #press

Analysis-Where Are Russia's Top Generals? Rumors Swirl After Mercenary Mutiny
Valery Gerasimov, Russia's top general, has not appeared in public or on state TV since the aborted mutiny on Saturday.
Russia’s most senior generals have dropped out of public view following a failed mercenary mutiny aimed at toppling the top brass, amid a drive by President Vladimir Putin to reassert his authority and unconfirmed reports of at least one arrest.

And some wondered aloud why much of #Russia’s leadership was being neither seen nor heard.
Aside from #Putin, neither Sergei K. #Shoigu, the minister of #defense, nor Valery V. #Gerasimov, the #military chief of staff, hadput in a #public appearance since the uprising #started on Friday night. Many heads of the country’s security services #FSB also proved invisible.

Hehe, that would be sneaky.
This whole mess is way too embarrassing for #Putin, #Gerasimov , and #Shoygu to be a ploy like that. They also went back (if i heard correctly) to Rostov am Donn and all (space-) eyes are on the #Musicians now anyway.

"Oh, those Russians!" - Boney M.
Prigozhin might have won (if not already dead). He is not banned to Africa, and so far we haven't heard from Shoigu. The #Russian Army and #Gerasimov were stupidly invisible as well yesterday except for that aircraft (aircrafts?).

Astonishing. Wake up to find a deal has been struck in #Russia.
‘Brokered’ by #Lukashenko; #Prigozhin will have amnesty in #Belarus & #Wagner will return to barracks.
What this means for military leaders #Gerasimov & #Shoigu unclear.
#Putin survives. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-24/live-wanger-mercenaries-russia-rostov-yevgeny-prigozhin-mutiny/102519712

Merkwaardig #historisch #scenario tussen #putin en #prigozhin tot vandaag. Daar zal ongetwijfeld een film over worden gemaakt. Over #conspiracy dus.
Wat als #putin dit besteld heeft bij zijn #huurling en #kelner #prigozhin om de Russische minister van Defensie #Sjojgoe en zijn vazal #gerasimov te kunnen ontslaan vanwege wanprestatie?
Wat als straks blijkt dat #prigozhin de leiding krijgt over alle #russisische troepen in #oekraïne om te redden wat er te redden valt?

#Prigozhin is going to rescue #Putin from that bunker where he is being held by #Gerasimov and #Shoigu but Putin will sadly die in the crossfire
Or some similar narrative.
#shoigu #gerasimov #putin #prigozhin
Can't help but wonder if #Budanov is somehow involved in #Prigozhin moving on #Shoigu and #Gerasimov. There was talk only a month or so back that #Prighozhin was in constant contact with #Ukraine intelligence.
Now with #Putin coming out seemingly against the #Wagner #insurgency, one might ask, was Prighozhin suckered into making this move to destabilise #Russia internally?

''On the morning of June 24, resources linked to Wagner PMC published videos in which Prigozhin claimed that his fighters controlled military facilities in #Rostov-on-Don. Including HQ of South Military District and #airport. Prigozhin said that his PMC will block city until they "get #Gerasimov and #Shoigu." Footage of his meeting with Deputy Defense Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov and First Deputy Chief of the Main Directorate of the General Staff Vladimir Alekseev was shown.''
