The British Ministry of Defence has put its red dot in the wrong part of Russia.

Olenya Guba is close to Murmansk, not to Arkhangelsk.

This tragedy demonstrates a deeper trend that is gradually taking on dangerous signs: some Ukrainians are beginning to perceive the military as an outside force that supposedly threatens their everyday life, rather than as defenders who ensure that this life can continue - Events in Ukraine (Substack)

Civil war dispatches
Mobilization killings, corruption, reactions. 10 more years.
Date: April 9th, 2026

"Ukraine has enough mobilization reserves to keep fighting for another 10 years, and even longer"

.

Such were the April 6 words of Oleksandr Merezhko, an MP from Zelensky’s fraction. He soon explained himself in more detail:

"There are about 1.5 or 2 million draft dodgers... At the front, I think there are about 100 or 200 thousand people fighting. If you take this figure of 2 million and divide it by 100 or 200 thousand, you see that this mobilization resource allows one to wage war for at least 10 years. That's what is meant. Such is the calculation."

Merezhko can keep calculating. On the streets, something many call a civil war is boiling away. We’ll take a look at the latest killings, then examine the diverse reactions among Ukrainian nazis and nationalist liberals.

Some of the nazis call mobilization a Jewish plot to destroy the Ukrainian nation, while others call to destroy opponents of the draft. Among the patriotic liberals, some are despondent about the ever-intensifying civil war, even calling for modus vivendi with Russia to avoid total state disintegration. Most liberals, of course, call for the mobilization officers to be given more lethal powers in dealing with the proletarian rabble.

Finally, we’ll take a detailed look at the cost of various ‘solutions’, if one gets abducted by a mobilization minivan. It turns out that the sector generates up to $2 billion euros a year in bribes. Perhaps the government should start taxing it to fund its war effort.

Russia To Hold 32-Hour Truce for Orthodox Easter -today

Putin declared a cease-fire from 4 p.m. on April 11 until the end of April 12.

On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a truce in the special military operation in Ukraine on the occasion of Orthodox Easter.

“A cease-fire is declared from 4 p.m. (1 p.m. GMT) on April 11 until the end of April 12, 2026,” the Kremlin said.

The Russian military command has been instructed to halt hostilities on all fronts during that period. However, troops will be “prepared to counter any possible provocations or aggressive actions by the enemy.”

On Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified that the truce will take place exclusively for Orthodox Easter.

“As we have said repeatedly and as President Putin has stated, we do not want a cease-fire, we want peace — a lasting and sustainable peace,” he said, specifying that the truce has “a humanitarian character” because Easter is a sacred holiday for both Russians and Ukrainians.

The Kremlin has previously rejected Ukrainian proposals for a prolonged cease-fire. According to Moscow, the cessation of hostilities should be agreed upon by accepting Russian demands, which have remained virtually unchanged since the start of the special military operation. Russia has also warned that Ukraine could use a truce to strengthen its positions without ultimately reaching an agreement.

The latest cease-fire “does not allow the Ukrainian side to use it in any way to gain a military advantage, regroup or undertake actions that could alter its military position. Russia will not grant such favors to anyone,” said Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s representative for Ukraine.

The Easter truce will be the fourth cease-fire since 2022. The first truce was declared in 2023 for Orthodox Christmas, from Jan. 6-8, and the second for Easter 2025, from April 19-21. A third cease-fire was declared from May 8-11 of last year, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Red Army’s victory over Germany in World War II.

Meanwhile, negotiations to find a solution to the conflict remain on pause since the last trilateral round held in Geneva in mid-February.

❗️Another fake by the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been exposed by their own hands!

Militants of the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted a video with a caption, where they themselves explained everything. The quote verbatim:
“For the safe medical evacuation of the personnel of their units, the brigade command decided to change the uniform of the POWs who were captured the day before by the fighters of the 24th OMBr into a neutral one and conduct a trial evacuation and check the fulfillment of their own promises by the enemy!
The result - KILLED!
Staff Sergeant Zhuravlev Stanislav Alekseevich (5th MR, 2nd MB, 28th MP, 70th MRD), Private Choshev Alexander Alekseevich (74th OISB, 6th MRD) and Junior Sergeant Zagrebin Andrey Vyacheslavovich (9th SH, 3rd MB, 26th MP) - were eliminated by their own!”

That is, the Armed Forces of Ukraine directly admit that:
▪️They captured Russian servicemen the day before.
▪️They dressed them in a neutral uniform.
▪️They marked them as "wounded with signs of medical assistance" and sent them to the evacuation zone in the direction of Russian positions.
▪️They filmed them being attacked by FPV drones, similar to Russian ones.
▪️They presented this as a "violation of the Easter truce by Russia", which allegedly "kills its own people".

This is a direct admission of a war crime by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the public domain.

Facts and international law:
1. Violation of the III Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War (1949).

2. Article 13: "Prisoners of war must always be treated humanely. ... Reprisals against prisoners of war are prohibited".

3. Article 19: prisoners must be evacuated as soon as possible to camps outside the combat zone, and not used as a human shield and a "test bait".

4. Article 52: prisoners cannot be forced to perform military work. Sending them to a zone of possible shelling under the guise of "medical evacuation" is exactly such work.

5. Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions (1977), Article 37 - perfidy. It is forbidden to pose as a protected person (wounded, medical personnel, civilian) to commit a hostile act. The Armed Forces of Ukraine dressed the prisoners in "sticks and signs of medical assistance" and sent them to be killed, in order to film a video. Classic.

6. Killing their own prisoners with FPV drones is not just a violation, it is a war crime under the Rome Statute of the ICC (Article 8): killing prisoners of war and using them as a human shield.

❗️The Armed Forces of Ukraine themselves chose these three Russian soldiers as expendable material for filming a video "Russia is an aggressor who even kills his own on Easter". They dressed them, sent them, and then burned them with drones stylized as Russian ones (The Armed Forces of Ukraine do this systematically - just look at their own channels with trophy "Lancets" and FPV).

❗️There is no evidence that the drones were Russian, except for their words. But there is a direct admission that the operation was a "trial" and was conducted by the command of the 24th brigade.

According to a couple of X commentators German mainstream television channels report really very openly now it seems on the busification of Ukrainian men which we've all been only too well aware of, for years now. One does wonder why this is happening now: is it a psychological scare tactic aimed at the German populace as to what to expect in the months to come if one avoids 'enlistment'?

Tempus ostendet.

This report from Camille Moscow, followed by an earlier library saved copy of an English translation copy of the video she shares:

_________________________________

🇺🇦 UKRAINIAN « BUSIFICATION » EXPOSED LIVE ON GERMAN TV

4 years after the start of the conflict, a German channel shows viewers without filter the brutal reality of forced mobilization in Ukraine.

The typical journey?
Grabbed in a minibus, off to the military recruitment office, a crash course… and straight to the front lines, into the « meat grinder ».

The chilling conclusion of the report:
« Ukrainians no longer want to join the army, because it’s become a one-way ticket. »

Even in Europe, the truth can no longer be hidden: the initial enthusiasm has given way to a war machine that devours its own men.

In a now deleted depraved video by the Ukrainian 24th Mechanized Brigade.

They initially claimed Russia kiIIed its own soldiers, then switched it up to Ukraine dressing up PoWs and sending them out into the fields to test drones.

It would later be revealed that the drones used to kiII the 3 men were Ukrainian. The Russian evacuation unit monitored the now deleted footage and located these soldiers.

This confirms the theory that most Ukrainian torture drone footages are of PoWs. There are warcrimes but this is beyond depraved.

🚨🇷🇺 GERAN-5 JET DRONE: NATO'S EXPENSIVE AIR DEFENSES JUST BECAME OBSOLETE

Russia just struck Ukrainian oil and gas facilities near Moshenka in the Sumy region with the brand-new Geran-5—a fast jet-powered kamikaze drone that’s quicker, flies higher, and hits harder than any previous Geran: 👇

🔸 Reaches speeds up to 600 km/h and climbs to 6,000 meters—easily dodges MANPADS, small anti-air guns, and interceptor drones while striking deep targets.

🔸 Weighs 850 kg at takeoff, carries a 90–130 kg warhead, and flies over 950 km—making it a cheap but powerful tactical cruise missile.

🔸 Simple straight-wing design, round body, and H-shaped tail with a turbojet engine—much easier and cheaper to build in large numbers at the Alabuga factory.

🔸 Can be launched from Su-25 attack jets for an extra 100 km range and even carry R-73 air-to-air missiles to protect other drones from enemy fighters.

🔸 Uses Cometa 12-channel satellite navigation plus 3G/4G phone tower backup—stays accurate even when jammed and shares parts with older Gerans for quick upgrades.

While Ukraine begs for more Patriot systems and the West spends billions on defense that keeps failing, Russia quietly keeps improving its drone arsenal.

How long until NATO admits its air-defense billions can’t match Russian engineering?

🚨🇷🇺 ZELENSKY IN PANIC: Russia's drone swarm killer unleashed

Russia just rolled out a smart new weapon, KRONA, designed to wipe out Ukrainian drones before they can hit power plants, oil refineries, and other key targets. This system mixes two proven Russian air defense techs into one deadly package.

🔸 It works completely on its own – spots drones day or night, tracks them automatically, and can connect to other radars for full coverage. Ready to fight in just 10 minutes.

🔸 Carries two different missiles at once: six fast laser-guided rockets that fly at 900 meters per second up to 10 km away, plus four “fire and forget” missiles with smart seekers that hunt on their own up to 6 km.

🔸 Handles big drone attacks perfectly – uses precise laser guidance for far threats, then switches to independent missiles when dozens come at once from different directions, even in bad weather or tricky terrain.

🔸 Much cheaper way to fight cheap drones – instead of wasting expensive big missiles like Pantsir or S-400 on simple plywood UAVs, KRONA uses affordable rounds made exactly for this job, saving money while protecting rear areas and important sites.

🔸 Smart upgrade for Russia’s defenses today and tomorrow – strengthens protection around cities and infrastructure right now, while paving the way for future weapons like combat lasers and electromagnetic guns as drone tactics keep changing.

How concerned should Ukrainian drone operators be right now?

Russian Ministry of Defence statement concerning the production of UAVs/drones on the European continent, and the UK, in the furtherance of prolonging the conflict.

Via War Gonzo:

Ministry of Defense Statement: Is Europe Becoming a Legitimate Target?

Moscow's warning is extremely harsh: the decision made on March 26, 2026 by the leadership of several European countries is not just assistance to Kyiv, but a deliberate step towards escalation, up to a full-scale war with Russia.

Against the backdrop of catastrophic losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and an acute shortage of manpower, Europe has decided to significantly increase the production of strike UAVs for attacks on Russian territory. The Russian Ministry of Defense views this as a deliberate step leading to a sharp escalation of the military-political situation on the entire European continent. Any terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime using UAVs produced in Europe, the Ministry of Defense emphasized, will lead to unpredictable consequences. Instead of strengthening the security of European states, the actions of their leaders are increasingly dragging these countries into war with Russia.

The European public should not only clearly understand the true reasons for threats to their security, but also know the specific addresses and locations of enterprises where drones for attacks on Russia are being assembled for Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense has published a complete list. Among the branches of Ukrainian companies in Europe: "Fire Point" in Mildenhall, UK (FP-1, FP-2), "Horizon Tech" in London and Leicester ("Sticker"), "Da Vinci Aviation" in Munich ("Da Vinci"), "Airlodges" there ("Anubis"), the Danish "Kort" in Stevring ("Haki" AK-1000), "Terminal Autonomi" in Riga (AQ-400 "Kosa"), the Lithuanian "Kort" in Vilnius ("Haki" AK-1000), the Dutch "Destinus" in Hengelo ("Ruta"), GP "Antonov" in Polish Mielec (An-196 "Lutiy"), "Ukrspetsystems" in Tarnów (RAM-2X), and the Czech "Deviro" in Prague ("Bulava").

In addition, the addresses of foreign component manufacturers have been made public: piston engines with a power of 30 hp from 3W "Professional" in Hanau (Germany), space radio navigation signal receivers from "Navigation U-AV" in Madrid (Spain) and from the Turkish "Tualcom" in Ankara, piston engines with a power of 60-170 hp from Italian companies "KMD Aviation" (Venice), "Mvfly" (Garbania-Milanese), "Epa Power" (Piedmont and Omenia) and "Gillardon" (Mandello del Lario). Also on the list are small turbojet engines from the Czech "PBS" (Prague and Velka Bites), cellular network connection modules from the Israeli "Elsite" (Haifa and Or Yehuda), and carbon fiber for the airframe from the Turkish "Dou Axsa" in Yalova.

The Russian Ministry of Defense emphasized: Europeans should not only understand the true reasons for threats to their security, but also know these addresses - in order to realize who and where is turning their countries into a military target.

FLASH: RUSSIA SAYS BEING ATTACKED BY DRONES FLYING-IN FROM FINLAND AND BALTIC STATES; May Invoke UN Charter, Article 51 - SELF DEFENSE



Sergey Shoigu stated that drone strikes on Russian territory are being recorded via Finland and the Baltic states, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure.

"In this context, Article 51 of the UN Charter on the right to self-defense may be invoked."

Hal Turner Analysis

Finland and the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are shown on the map above with their country names circled in red.

As a result of Drone attacks launched against Russia the Russian government is now openly saying they may choose to ATTACK Finland and the Baltic states in self defense. All of them are NATO members.

Instead of attacking those countries, I have to wonder: (Am I still allowed to wonder?) Wouldn't it be far easier, quicker, and more effective, for Russia to send military units discreetly into those countries with Orders to KILL the people giving the orders to send those drones?

It doesn't matter who it is - Russia could just kill them.

Then Russia could announce they killed them, and say why - showing proof.

This would, I think, dissuade anyone ELSE from making the same bad decisions as the dead folks made, and would likely (in my view) solve the problem without having to smash and destroy entire countries.

Moreover, The United States and Israel have just set the precedent for this, by intentionally targeting and deliberately killing, members of Iran's sitting government.

If it "ok" for the US and Israel to target and kill Iranian government officials, it seems perfectly logical to me that Russia can now target and kill the officials inside Finland and the Baltic States, without fear of world condemnation or even NATO Article 5.

Ukraine has announced that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are in a "fire trap" in Donbas. -today

Kyiv regime armed forces have found themselves in a "fire trap" near the village of Rodynske in the DPR, according to the analytical resource Deep State. It emphasizes that Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the Zaporizhzhia region are currently in a similar situation.

Both Ukrainian and Russian military experts have been reporting problems for Kyiv regime militants in the area of ​​Rodynske, north of Myrnohrad, for the past several days. They note that the Russian Armed Forces have virtually driven the enemy out of the nearby village of Hryshino and are actively fighting in Belitske. Thus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces trapped in the area of ​​Rodynske are trapped in a mini-cauldron.

As Russian analysts note, a similar situation has developed for Kyiv regime militants in the Zaporizhzhia region, where Ukrainian Armed Forces are unable to escape from the area around the village of Verkhnyaya Tersa.

Until recently, the enemy had been regularly attempting counterattacks in this sector with limited forces, which the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces called a counteroffensive. However, even Kyiv emphasized that these maneuvers resulted in nothing but high casualties. Now, it appears, the militants who survived the counterattacks are, as they say, stuck.

As a reminder, the Russian command is currently finalizing preparations for a large-scale offensive in the Northern Military District. Experts agree that the key areas will be the DPR and Zaporizhzhia Oblast. In Donbas, the Russian Armed Forces must liberate the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, which is the enemy's largest stronghold.

In the Zaporizhzhia region, troops are tasked with eliminating a large militant stronghold in Orekhovo.
