The FBI suspected Dmitry Petrovsky, an employee of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department of External Church Relations, of working for Russian intelligence and engaged in recruiting agents for Russian intelligence services among priests and parishioners of the Russian Orthodox Church and other Orthodox churches in the United States.

In May 2021, Petrovsky was searched upon entering the United States. Files related to Russian intelligence were found on his computer.

Among the documents found were dossiers on well-known Orthodox priests in the US with details of biographies of their family members. The FBI believed that such information was necessary for Petrovsky to blackmail these people during the recruitment process.

One of the files found was marked "confidential” and, according to the agency, this document contains a description of the areas of cooperation between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian special services - SVR, GRU and FSB.

Tank battles don't get much closer than this: Kherson, October 2022

At least one Russian tanker escapes between the two shots.

On Reddit so apologies if you are unable to view this:

I'm surprised that a second shot was thought necessary as , as far as I could see - the first shot took off the turret, although the woods may have blocked that from the very limited "periscope" view.

That told him, well said sir and what an excellent put down.

Why are Russia still part of the UN?

Tried to swim for it to avoid conscription?

It looks like the Ukrainians have now got themselves a nice little Agusta 109.

Are you seriously asking, or is that you venting frustration?

I was working in Constanta recently and it was full of Ukrainians. They didn’t need to swim!

should be “why is” for a start….

How do you plan to get rid of them? Since they have veto power as a permanent member of the security council every single other country could ask for their expulsion and they would just veto the motion!

Which is correct and thus effectively renders the UN useless!

There are reports of explosions in Crimea: Saky, Yevpatoriya and Sevastopol….

Vasili Nebenzya is a nauseous voice piece of Vlads. He continues to project Russia's criminal actions as those of the victims to Vlads aggression. It is hard to find a saving grace with many of Vlad's inner circle. At least at the UN the rest can turn down the volume until his lips stop moving. The most recent UNGA Vasili bleated nonsense against well-reasoned statements of fact from a long list of countries, painful to observe the contrast.

I thought that any member that is involved in a of a complaint/motion has to be removed from the discussion/vote ? Having said that though, given the raison d'etre of the UN, I can well believe that there is no procedure to remove/expel any member , particularly a member of the Security Council.

I hope they have cut holes in the roof of their Lada butchers van so they can shoot at the UAV’s.
