Police officers from the Donetsk region have reportedly been rounded up and taken to Mariupol in preparation for deployment to the front line. Their wives are protesting that they have been taken under false pretences and that none of them have agreed to military service.
The ASTRA Telegram has published a video of a wife angrily protesting to 'Donetsk People's Republic' (DNR) officials. She says that her husband and employees of other municipal departments have been taken to a training ground in Mariupol for pre-deployment training. According to the man's wife, the policemen were told, "This is the last time you are training today, the commander is coming, and you are being taken to the first line of demarcation in the 'Cascade' battalion."…. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1...613358593.html |

This is getting more like the Fourth Reich as it goes on.. I wonder if they will be building camps next to the factories next.
Russia's top carmaker Avtovaz has asked a regional prison service to help it plug a labour shortage with people sentenced to forced labour as it tries to meet increased production targets. Russia's unemployment rate dropped to a record low 3.3% in April, highlighting the labour shortage that is stifling economic growth. A partial mobilisation of troops in September saw hundreds of thousands of mostly young, working-age men called up to the army while others fled the country to avoid being drafted. The Samara region's branch of Russia's federal prison service, FSIN, said it had met with Avtovaz, which wanted to increase the pace and volume of production by 28% from September, and by 40% from January. Avtovaz declined to comment. The Samara FSIN did not specify the level upon which Avtovaz's production growth targets were based. Factories across Russia collectively produced just 450,000 cars last year, the industry's worst showing since the collapse of the Soviet Union. "In this regard, and also taking into account the extremely tense situation on the labour market of Togliatti and the Samara region, the plant's representative asked the (prison service's) management for support and assistance in selecting staff for the enterprise from those sentenced to forced labour," the prison service said. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/othe...97c2e5f7&ei=69 |

Swiss to decommission 25 Leopard 2, which means they might be able to sell them.

Perhaps Lukashenko was given the antidote in return for his cooperation.

And Belarus threatens to use them independently.
Maybe Putin thinks Minsk, not Moscow, would take the blame (and the punishment) if one of these weapons, of which he is supposed to have control, banged somewhere. |

Surely Putin had not to insist a lot to have Lukasheno declare he could use independently the russian tactical nukes now stored in Belarus. The idiot is so proud of having them.

The same thought crossed my mind too. |
Come on guys, do you honestly think that Putin would give Lukasheno a free hand in firing nukes? Not withstanding other factors, whether they came from Belarus or Russia, the immediate response from the west would be the same!

Lukashenko appears to be whistling figures out of thin air..
It gets even more fruity loops, he states no Country has ever gone to war against a nuclear power....... obviously he is oblivious to the little war going on next door.

Whilst it would be foolish to ignore this development, I’m not sure we should take it at face value. Are there really weapons in those lorries? If there are, are they live or dummies? Does Lukashenko even know, or is he a knowing/unknowing patsy? Could all just be theatre intended to scare the West into abandoning support for Ukraine. I think at this stage it’s Putin’s only hope.
